3 uses and performance standards related to noise, vibration, outdoor storage, and other impacts (see Section 6.4 of the UDO). Additional maps that may prove useful in understanding the area are included in Attachment 4: • Existing Residential / Non-Residential / Undeveloped parcels • A map of developed and undeveloped lots in Whispering Pines subdivision (which is designated as 10-Year Transition on the Future Land Use map). As a historical note, many/most of the undeveloped lots remained so because suitable septic sites could not be located on the lots. Water & Sewer Management, Planning & Boundary Agreement (WASMPBA) The entire Eno EDD plus lands well to the south of the EDD are designated as "Primary Service Area" on the WASMPBA map (Attachment 5). Since mobile home parks in the area may eventually need public water service for both household use and fire suppression, staff suggests that the current WASMPBA boundaries remain as is. Potential Amendments The maps in Attachment 6 depict potential amendments to pull back a portion of the EDD expansion that occurred in 2012 and rezone the properties back to R-1 (Rural Residential). Staff is seeking BOCC direction on whether Future Land Use Map and Zoning Atlas amendments should be pursued at this time. The potential amendments are as follows: Future Land Use Map Zoning 112.2 acres from Economic 112.2 acres from EDE-1 to R-1 Development to 10-Year Transition The 10-Year Transition land use classification is for "areas changing from rural to urban in form and density. All densities of residential development would be appropriate. Non-residential uses implemented in accordance with small area plans and/or overlay districts may be appropriate." The Land Use and Zoning Matrix in Appendix F of the Comprehensive Plan identifies the following potential zoning districts for 10-Year Transition areas: R-1 , R-2, R-3, R- 4, R-5, R-8, R-13, MPD-CD, HP-CD, R-CD, NR-CD, and Special Zoning Overlay District. Amendment Process Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Atlas (rezoning) must adhere to the processes described in Sections 2.3 (Comprehensive Plan) and 2.8 (Zoning Atlas) of the UDO. For County-initiated amendments, the general process is listed below with a possible timeframe for any potential amendments in bold italics: • Public Information Meeting to Explain the Amendments (This meeting is not required by the UDO, but historically the County has held such meetings at the beginning of the process to better inform residents and address questions before the subsequent Planning Board meeting.) — October 2021 • Post Sign / Mail Notices for Planning Board Meeting — mid November 2021 • Development Advisory Committee Meeting (staff group of multiple departments) - November 2021 • Staff Recommendation to the Planning Board — end of November 2021 • Planning Board Review and Recommendation — December 1, 2021 • Publication of Legal Ads / Sign Posting / Mail Notices for BOCC Public Hearing — January 2022 • BOCC Public Hearing/Potential Decision — January 2022
