She said the issue of <br /> 8 changing the zoning in this area has been discussed for years, and she had hoped to make <br /> 9 changes this month. She said it recently came to her attention because people in Whispering <br /> 10 Pines want to know what is going on around them. She said the desire is to buffer the <br /> 11 neighborhood in a way that would be complementary. She said various ideas have been <br /> 12 discussed, including apartments. She said there has been some reluctance from Durham to <br /> 13 provide utilities in this area. She said there are mobile home parks here, which are some of the <br /> 14 affordable housing in the county. She said the desire was to focus on economic development in <br /> 15 the Buckhorn and Hillsborough EDDs instead. She said she is concerned that staff only <br /> 16 included two areas and wonders why it has to go to Planning Board for review again. She said <br /> 17 her intent with this petition was to move forward with making some changes and not to consider <br /> 18 further exploration, as the Board has already talked about the changes that need to be made. <br /> 19 She said she wants the residents in the area to feel comfortable and know they will not be <br /> 20 dislocated and relocated in the near future. <br />
