<br /> 710 Tom Altieri: So the zoning district they have applied for,the MPD-CD is not a permissible district, it's not
<br /> 711 consistent with either the agricultural residential land use classification that applies to the majority of the property or
<br /> 712 the rural neighborhood activity node that's on the northern portion.
<br /> 713
<br /> 714 Charity Kirk: So, it's potentially easier to bring it into consistency with the rural activity node than agricultural
<br /> 715 residential.
<br /> 716
<br /> 717 Tom Altieri: Yes.
<br /> 718
<br /> 719 Charity Kirk: Okay.
<br /> 720
<br /> 721 Lamar Proctor: Statler?
<br /> 722
<br /> 723 Statler Gilfillen: In your opinion, as I understand,we are being asked to potentially approve a change to the
<br /> 724 code which may expand the existing situation of what can be done at these nodes. As a professional who has
<br /> 725 reviewed this,do you have any feelings about what the impact 10-20-30 years of this expansion could be, both
<br /> 726 realistically and perhaps hypothetically? What would this do to change the county?
<br /> 727
<br /> 728 Tom Altieri: I wish my crystal ball was that good, I do have one, but I think the question that you're asking
<br /> 729 is really more of that countywide question,you know, if the MPD-CD were permitted in all of the rural neighborhood
<br /> 730 activity nodes countywide,what impact would that have,would it be a catalyst for more requests for MPD-CD zoning
<br /> 731 within those nodes, I think that's what you're asking and I just, I don't have an answer to that question. It certainly
<br /> 732 offers additional opportunity if this is made consistent and was not previously. There was the question about the rural
<br /> 733 community activity nodes which do currently allow MPD-CD, how much has been rezoned in those nodes because
<br /> 734 they have been on the map since 1981. That answer is there have been none.
<br /> 735
<br /> 736 Lamar Proctor: Okay,thank you and just for the public's clarification,we're asking questions to staff so that we
<br /> 737 fully understand going forward the foundational elements because the unified development ordinance which controls
<br /> 738 planning and zoning and all rules in the county is very complex, so we want to make sure we have a full
<br /> 739 understanding before the applicant presents and before we hear public comments so thank y'all for that.
<br /> 740
<br /> 741 Whitney Watson: So one other question, if this becomes MPD-CD, does become permitted in the rural
<br /> 742 neighborhood networks,what will be the distinction then between the community activity nodes and the
<br /> 743 neighborhood activity nodes. How will staff move forward or the public move forward trying to know which zoning
<br /> 744 they're in and what their limits or permissions might be available.
<br /> 745
<br /> 746 Tom Altieri: I don't have any answer to that question specifically; however I can say that we are currently
<br /> 747 about a third of the way with an update to our comprehensive land use plan that will include a review of the Future
<br /> 748 Land Use Map and these classifications and so how those nodes are defined,whether they remain in circles,
<br /> 749 parcels, is all going to be up for review and discussion and input in public meetings as we update that map.
<br /> 750
<br /> 751 Cy Stober: If I may add, it is a very difficult analysis to perform and right now I think that the guidance,the
<br /> 752 best guidance we have is actually what Ms. Bronson already identified which is that the community activity nodes are
<br /> 753 intended for larger institutional uses that would draw people from outside that area to that institution, so a fire house,
<br /> 754 library, post office, etc. But it really is that nuanced in terms of making that determination, as well as the immediate
<br /> 755 population served,that 1,000 or 1,000 to 5,000 population.
<br /> 756
<br /> 757 Beth Bronson: If I may just add on that to Chris's point on why the circle and not a square,why it doesn't
<br /> 758 follow the parcels,the idea that it is a radius from a point, right, is this idea that there was no guidance or there was
<br /> 759 no federal guidance for a comprehensive plan, or comprehensive land use plan in 1981, and, in fact, Orange County
<br /> 760 being one of the first counties, I could be wrong, but definitely in the state, but potentially in the country to implement
