Approved 9.3.25 385 Lamar Proctor: Oh, sorry. 386 387 Lauren Honeycutt: Just before we run into questions because it may help get ahead of some. Notices were mailed to 388 property owners within 1,000 feet of the parcel on July 23rd, two weeks before today's meeting, as 389 well as signs were posted on the subject property and the application information was posted on 390 our Active Development Page available on our website. We did complete staff analysis and 391 determined that the application was complete and in accordance with requirements of the UDO. 392 We looked through the Zoning Atlas and Unified Development Ordinance and in that section of 393 what's required there as well as specifically for Conditional Districts, and our specific use 394 standards that relate to Major Subdivision Conditional Districts. We included how consideration 395 thinking about how the request relates to the Orange County Comprehensive Plan and we 396 determined that it is consistent with the 2030 Comprehensive Plan,Appendix F, the use that's 397 requested for the Residential-Conditional District is found in the consistent land-use 398 classifications. The applicant also provided an Environmental Impact Assessment, and staff 399 reviewed and determined that there are no significant environmental impacts expected from this 400 project based on existing conditions.This is where we are at tonight. We are requesting the 401 Planning Board hear from the applicant, staff, and public, review and discuss analysis and the 402 staff recommendation, and then recommend approval or denial to the Board of County 403 Commissioners. Our recommendation as staff is that you receive the rezoning application, 404 deliberate on the proposal as desired, consider the Planning Director's recommendation, which is 405 to make a recommendation to the BOCC on the Statement of Consistency or Inconsistency, and 406 my apologies for the error,that one is all on me, and review the proposed ordinance and make a 407 recommendation in time for the October 7th BOCC meeting. And so, I'll turn it back to you for 408 your questions. 409 410 Lamar Proctor: All right. Thank you. 411 412 Delores Bailey: Yes, good evening. Let me just say that we've received several letters in opposition to this, so I'm 413 trying to get to the bottom of that. Can you tell me from the well was drilled? You mentioned the 414 well that's a thousand feet down. When was that drilled? 415 416 Beth Trahos: Let me ask. November. 417 418 Delores Bailey: So, is this already started? Or done? Has this project already started, and we're just agreeing to 419 it? 420 421 Beth Trahos: No. The well was dug to get an understanding of the capacity, and having the well dug also 422 allowed for the additional testing that was done and analysis based on comments received from 423 the community, so, it was to understand what is achievable here. 424 425 Delores Bailey: It just seemed per the letters that it felt like y'all had already started on this, and this is going to 426 happen regardless. 427 428 Beth Trahos: No, ma'am. We, of course, cannot do that unless the county allows us to. But we wanted to be 429 sure if the county would allow us to that we would have capacity necessary. And drilling a well is 430 a significant investment. 431 432 Delores Bailey: And is the mall kiosk already up? 433 434 Beth Trahos: No, ma'am. 435 436 Delores Bailey: Okay, that's planned. A couple things about the well. Somebody said that you didn't feel like it 437 would have an impact on the current wells. So, I'm concerned about that. If you're putting a well 438 there, and each one of the 43 homes will be attached to that single well. The one that the
