8 109 MOTION PASSED UNANIMOUSLY 110 111 Lamar Proctor: Let the record reflect that all members voted approval of the minutes, so the August 6, 2025 112 regular meeting minutes are approved. 113 114 AGENDA ITEM 4: CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONS TO AGENDA 115 116 None. 117 118 Lamar Proctor: Do we hear any additions to the agenda? Hearing there are none, I will move on to the public 119 charge. 120 121 AGENDA ITEM 5: PUBLIC CHARGE 122 123 Lamar Proctor read the Public Charge. 124 125 AGENDA ITEM 6: CHAIR COMMENTS 126 127 Lamar Proctor: I do have a few comments. First of all, I'm just going to ask members of the Planning Board to 128 always give their full attention to the presenters and to the public when they're making comments. 129 It's okay if you need to speak to each other to reference a page number because we are dealing 130 with hundreds of pages in these packets, and there is a lot of information that's being considered, 131 but we should refrain from having lengthy or substantive discussions amongst ourselves. This is a 132 legislative process, and we should be discussing that amongst ourselves in public at the 133 appropriate time. I also wanted to remind the Planning Board that if there are errors you notice in 134 the packet that are grammatical or scrivener's errors as we call them in the courtroom or, 135 formatting errors,those can be directed to Cy Stober as the planning director, and those do not 136 have to be necessarily brought out in the open meeting. We need to make the most efficient use 137 of our time and discuss the substantive issues that are before us. I would just like to reiterate to 138 everyone,the Planning Board takes this job very seriously. We're all volunteers. We understand 139 that planning, and especially zoning decisions and land use planning decisions are very emotional 140 for the people it effects,that is you're talking about changing the character of people's homes, 141 where they reside,the characters of their community, and these are very important decisions, and 142 we take them seriously,so we would ask just for everyone to respect each other. Sometimes 143 these are not popular decisions. Sometimes they're difficult, and we are doing our best to try and 144 hear all the voices and make an informed recommendation to the Board of County 145 Commissioners, and I would just remind everyone that we are not the final decision here on these 146 planning land use issues. We make recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners, 147 and they make the final decision as to these issues. Moving along to Agenda Item 7,we have a 148 zoning atlas amendment to review and make recommendations to the Board of County 149 Commissioners on a zoning atlas amendment to rezone plus or minus 78.11 acres located at 150 1039-UT NC 86 North Hillsborough within the Hillsborough Township of Orange County. The 151 proposed rezoning is from agricultural residential to residential conditional district. The anticipated 152 board of county commissioner public hearing date is November 6 of 2025, so we will have a 153 presenter from the developer on this project, and I would remind them that we limit these 154 presentations to 30 minutes. 155 156 Taylor Perschau: Thank you, Chair Proctor. Good evening, board. My name is Taylor Perschau. I am the current 157 planning and zoning manager,the staff planner on this zoning atlas amendment as Lamar just 158 summarized. I will be going through the conditional district zoning process as a reminder of what 159 has already happened in the review process to get the project to this Planning Board. The 160 applicant team are familiar faces to you all, as we saw a different application from the Forestar 161 Group at your August meeting, so a reminder on the conditional district zoning process. There are 162 two different zoning processes available to applicants. One is conventional district. The other
