10 <br /> discussed herein, the amendments to the 2030 Comprehensive Plan's FLUM and Appendix F <br /> are necessary for a consistency finding on the zoning action, as required by NCGS 160D-605. <br /> Similarly, the amendment of the text of the County's UDO [Attachments C1 — C5 (TXTA23- <br /> 0001)] is required to ensure the conformance of the Zoning Atlas amendment with the UDO <br /> text. As discussed herein, the amendment to Section 3.8 is complementary with the proposed <br /> Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Atlas amendments, and the action should be consistent with <br /> those actions. The amendment to allow Family Care Facilities in the MPD-CD zoning district <br /> and update this land use definition in Article 10 is recommended by the Planning Director <br /> regardless of actions directly related to the other proposed amendments. <br /> Accordingly, the Planning Director recommends the following actions to the Board of County <br /> Commissioners, which features four (4) motions to be voted upon: <br /> 1) Continue the public hearing, receive public comments, and consider the Planning <br /> Board recommendations of denial on all three (3) applications; <br /> 2) Close the public hearing; <br /> 3) Consider and deliberate on the three (3) applications for action, with reference to the <br /> Staff Report on the zoning atlas amendment (Attachment A2), featuring analyses of <br /> UDO compliance, Comprehensive Plan Consistency, impact of the use to the <br /> surrounding area, and safety and efficiency of land use; <br /> 4) Vote to Approve the Staff-Recommended UDO Text Amendments to Section 5.2 <br /> and Article 10 (as reflected in the Statement of Consistency (Attachment C4) and <br /> UDO Text Amendment Ordinance (Attachment C5); <br /> 5) Vote on the Applicant-Initiated UDO Text Amendments to amend Section 3.8 <br /> (consistent with the Comprehensive Plan action, as reflected in the Statement of <br /> Consistency (Attachment C2) and UDO Text Amendments Ordinance (Attachment <br /> C3); <br /> 6) Vote to Approve or Deny the amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, as <br /> reflected in the attached Resolution of Approval (Attachment 137); and <br /> 7) Vote to Approve the Statement of Consistency (Attachment A7) and Zoning Atlas <br /> Amendment (Attachment A9) <br /> OR <br /> Vote to Deny the Zoning Atlas Amendment, including a statement as to why the <br /> application is not reasonable and/or not in the public interest, as detailed in the <br /> Statement of Inconsistency (Attachment A8). <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: This request has been reviewed by various County departments which <br /> have determined that the approval of the request would not create the need for additional <br /> funding for the provision of County services.
