18 608 following uses: church,fire station,small post office, school or other similar institutional uses and one or more 609 commercial uses. And then again,just to hear them back to back,the rural neighborhood activity node is defined as, 610 land focused on a designated road intersection within the rural areas that is appropriate for small scale commercial 611 uses,characteristic of mom and pop convenience stores and gas stations. I do know that part of the rationale for the 612 location of the community nodes was that they correspond with historic crossroad communities in the county and so 613 in addition to White Cross,there's Cedar Grove,there's Carr,there's Caldwell and Schley which are four rural 614 community nodes that are all in the northern part of the county. As far as why MPD-CD was left out of one node and 615 not the other, I just won't venture to guess, I would say I would do the same thing that the board and others might do 616 is try to read the definitions there and try to maybe guess at what may have been the original intentions. We did 617 have previously, before conditional districts, there was a planned development district and so there were some 618 changes when the code was updated to include conditional districts and that may have been,the time in between the 619 original establishment of those nodes and the creation of the original matrix from 1981,when a change was made to 620 the matrix. So, I will stop there. I hope that helped some. 621 622 Lamar Proctor: All right,any questions of Mr.Altieri? 623 624 Chris Johnston: I do have one quick question. The rural neighborhood activity district,they're all circles and so my 625 question would be in regards to how often they expand outside those designated circles that they have? They all 626 looked pretty standard still, and so was this the first one that has tried to venture outside of its designated zone since 627 1981? 628 629 Tom Altieri To my knowledge I believe this would be the first expansion of one of those nodes. There are a 630 couple going back, again to the original plan that aren't full circles,that were like little slices of circles, and there are a 631 couple of those in different areas of the county. Having read a while back the 1981 plan, these things were located 632 where there were existing uses on the ground at that point in time, so my guess is where there's a slice and not a full 633 radius they were trying to cover maybe one corner of an intersection and make sure that there was a consistent land 634 use classification. 635 636 Chris Johnston: Sure, and I guess my follow-up question then is in regards to why they picked a circle versus, 1 637 mean, I don't want to get into the logistics there, but why they picked a circle instead of following the existing parcels 638 or anything along those lines. It just feels like it belabors itself to having to be expanded one way or another if it were 639 to follow that. 640 641 Cy Stober: If I may, that is a consistent frustration of staff with our Future Land Use Map.The failure to follow 642 property lines presents some challenges. 643 644 Chris Johnston: So, it's not unreasonable to expand it because the circle just seems to have been pulled out of— 645 646 Tom Altieri: Correct. And so again, going back to 1981,well before geographic information systems we had 647 paper copies, I wasn't here then, but paper copies of the zoning maps with the parcel lines, literally blue lines. 648 There's been a lot of changes in technology and so yes,with our update to our plan we do see it being more parcel 649 based than what we have now. 650 651 Chris Johnston: Okay,thank you. 652 653 Marilyn Carter: Thank you for the presentation and the history. I do have a question about MPD-CDs and whether 654 any rezonings have taken place under that classification with the rural community activity node over time. Have we 655 had an MPD-CDs yet in the county? 656 657 Tom Altieri: There have not been. 658
