Approved & T2023 330 331 Lamar Proctor : For the record , I spoke with Mr. Parker too . You said no one else spoke with Mr . Parker, 332 333 Statler Gilfillen : He had informed me that none of the opposition had reached out to him . 334 335 MOTION BY Charity Kirk to recommend denial because the proposed amendment does not match the residential 336 character of this neighborhood , it will not meet the walkability standards that we believe describes a mixed residential 337 development , it is not consistent with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan , specifically land use objectives 1 . 1 , 1 . 21 3 . 1 , 338 3 . 2 and land use goal 6 . 2 . Seconded by Lamar Proctor , 339 Motion Passed 7 . 3 ( Poole , Beeman , Gilfillen ) 340 341 Cy Stober : There is a tentative public hearing date of June 6 , 2023 . 342 343 Tom Altien : There has been a change to the date on which the county commissioners will consider the consultant 344 contract for the comprehensive land use plan . The date has been changed from June 6 to May 16 , 2023 . 345 346 Charity Kirk : Can I make a motion to have staff review applicant time limits for presentations ? 347 348 Adam Beeman : As I said , if you want to discuss that, we can discuss that before we close the meeting so that we can all 349 be on the same page . I don ' t know how many of us read the email and got through . If we want to have a quick 350 discussion about what you are proposing , then we can go from there . 351 352 Charity Kirk : Based on a number of the presentations that we ' ve had recently, particularly this Lawrence Road 353 presentation , I don ' t feel that it was well organized nor respectful of our time nor respectful of the public and all the 354 comments . My suggestion is to require presentations to be no longer than an hour and a half and ask them at the time of 355 meeting scheduling , how long they are going to be . If they are going to be over an hour, make sure that they know they 356 are going to need their own meeting . That is my suggestion . Staff might have something more to say . 357 358 Cy Stober : I have spoken with several of you in the last month about specifically the Lawrence Road zoning case 359 because of applicant presentation length , the limit on public comments to 3 minutes , setting an adjournment time of 10 360 o ' clock , empowering you all to change rules as you need by a simple majority vote . Right now, our rules of procedure are 361 those that are assigned to all boards for Orange County . I propose that we actually have a work session . We have no 362 other zoning applications at this time on file , so we have future meetings that outside of trainings , you have an 363 opportunity to have some time to discuss these matters and frankly , we have some concerns that we would like to 364 address and recommend for formal amendment of the planning board ' s rules of procedure so that you all have the ability 365 to tell applicants , to tell the public , no , we ' ve adopted these rules of procedure , the commissioners adopted them at our 366 recommendation and this is what the rules are when you come to the planning board : presentation length , public 367 comment length , meeting duration , and also giving you the powers to waive those rules as you see fit on a case by case 368 basis . 369 370 Melissa Poole : So you are suggesting that there is nothing on the agenda for June and that we should set June as a 371 work session to discuss that in more depth ? 372 373 Cy Stober: The primary feature on the June agenda will be Tom coming back to provide more details on the consultant 374 for the comprehensive plan and give you a preview of what to expect for the comprehensive plan . 375 376 Melissa Poole : You are suggesting that we make a motion to set a work session on the agenda to discuss that in more 377 depth ? 378 379 Cy Stober: I think it' s needed . I think as staff it would be to our benefit as well , providing that communication to 380 applicants to say "this is what the expectations are when you come before the planning board and if you are going to 381 need to deviate from that because you have a very complex project , you need to make that clear upfront . " That can be 382 presented to the planning board for consideration . 383
