12 327 Beth Trahos: For our portion. Of course,we would request the opportunity to reserve any remaining time to 328 answer questions if needed. 329 330 Lamar Proctor: Okay. We'll hear from staff, and then we'll move to public comment because I think it is much 331 more helpful to us to have had public input before we start engaging and questioning and then 332 board discussion. 333 334 Taylor Perschau: Thank you. I'm just going to finish up a few notes about how the application and review met 335 ordinance standards to get to the board today. So, public notices were mailed via first-class mail 336 to property owners on August 20th. As required by the ordinance,those notices go to all 337 properties within 1,000 feet of the subject property. Signs were similarly posted on the parcel the 338 same day, Wednesday,August 20th, and the application information has been posted publicly on 339 our department's active development web page since we get those applications on the web page 340 as soon as a neighborhood information meeting is scheduled. Staff has determined that the 341 application is complete in accordance with the requirements of the LIDO. All submitted materials 342 were in compliance with the following applicable sections. That includes Sections 2.8,which 343 details zoning atlas amendment application requirements, Section 2.9 for conditional districts and 344 Section 5.21.1,which defines submittal requirements for major subdivision conditional districts. 345 Staff review of the application included considerations for how the request relates to Orange 346 County 2030 comprehensive plan. You see notes on that in the drafted statements of both 347 consistency and inconsistency. The requested zoning district of the residential conditional district 348 is noted to be consistent with the 2030 comprehensive plan, as detailed in Appendix F,which 349 relates the relationships between land use classifications and zoning districts. As well,the 350 applicant has provided an environmental assessment as part of the submittal. Staff reviewed, as 351 did the state clearinghouse for environmental review, and determined no significant environmental 352 impact is expected from the property based on existing and proposed conditions, so tonight,you 353 have already heard from the applicant and staff. You now have the opportunity to hear from the 354 public, at your discretion review and discuss the analysis and staff recommendation, and finally 355 you're tasked with making a recommendation of either approval or denial to the Board of County 356 Commissioners. So,the planning director recommends that you all receive the rezoning 357 application. You deliberate on the proposal. You consider the planning director's 358 recommendation, and then finally make a recommendation to the Board of County 359 Commissioners. 360 361 Lamar Proctor: All right. Thank you. We're going to move to public comment. I'm going to reread the public 362 charge to remind all of us about our commitment to respect and having a peaceable discussion 363 and on these issues. The Planning Board pledges its respect to all present. The board asks 364 those attending this meeting to conduct themselves in a respectful courteous manner toward each 365 other, county staff and board members. At any time, should a member of the board or the public 366 fail to observe this charge the chair will take steps to restore order and decorum. Should it 367 become impossible to restore order and continue the meeting,the chair will recess the meeting 368 until such time that a genuine commitment to this public charge is observed. The Planning Board 369 asks once again that all electronic devices be set to silent. Please be kind to everyone. I'm going 370 to read the names as they appear, and if there is no agenda item listed, I will just make a brief 371 inquiry. This Highway 86 subdivision is Agenda Item 7, so we are taking public comment on 372 Agenda Item 7, and then when we move to Agenda Item 8 after this, then we can take public 373 comment on that item. So,the first name is Lindsay Sealy. 374 375 Chris Johnston: So just to clarify for everyone in the audience,what's going to happen is if you would be so kind 376 as to state your name and location. I'm going to hit the button here and it'll give you a 3-minute 377 timer. It'll show you a little red light when you're getting close, and we just ask that you respond to 378 that. 379 380 Lindsey Sealy: Great, thank you. My name is Lindsey Sealy. I am the executive director at Eno River Academy 381 that was referenced several times in that presentation. They also held the neighborhood
