The <br /> typical cadence for review is as follows: <br /> • First Action —Applicant holds a Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM). <br /> Staff Comment — DONE. This meeting was held on March 1, 2023. Notes from <br /> this meeting are in Attachment 4. <br /> • Second Action — The Planning Board reviews the application at a regular meeting and <br /> makes a recommendation to the BOCC. <br /> Staff Comment — The Planning Board reviewed the application at its regular <br /> meeting on April 5, 2023 and continued deliberations at a Special Meeting on April <br /> 19, 2023, with a formal recommendation on this item occurring at its May 3, 2023 <br /> regular meeting. <br /> • Third Action —The BOCC receives the Planning Board and staff recommendations at an <br /> advertised public hearing and makes a decision on the application. <br /> Staff Comment— The public hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, June 6, 2023. <br /> Per Section 2.9.1 (F) (3) of the UDO, mutually agreed upon conditions can be imposed as part <br /> this process only if they address: <br /> a. The compatibility of the proposed development with surrounding property, and <br /> b. Proposed support facilities (i.e., access points, parking areas and driveways, pedestrian <br /> and vehicular circulation systems, screening and buffer areas, the timing of development, <br /> right-of-way improvements, storm water drainage, the provision of open space, etc.) <br /> The BOCC may not base a rezoning decision on the impacts to the transportation network, though <br /> this often is a developer responsibility for conditional zoning applications. Per North Carolina <br /> General Statute (NCGS) 160D-701, imposed conditions and site-specific standards are limited to <br /> those that address conformance of the development and use of the site to local government <br /> ordinances and adopted plans or the impacts reasonably expected to be generated by the <br /> development or use of the site.
