Z°ne Joint Planni~ Agreement adopted by the Prange .County Board of Coitmiissioners and the Chapel Hill Town Council requires joint public hearings on development proposals. Two governing boards and one advisory body (the OranrJe County Planning Poard) will be present at the hearings to receive testi~ny/hear presentations regarding such proposals. As each jurisdiction has different procedures for conducting public hearings, a standard procedure for the joint hearings is necessary. ~ese procedures (memo included on pages ~3 $ of the minute book) consolidate those employed by each jurisdiction and have been reca~¢nended for use by the Orange County Flannirxl Board. Minor refinements have also been made to reflect Chapel Hill procedures through. discussions betv~een the Planning Directors of each jurisdiction. Use of the procedures will provide a method for conducting joint public hearings. Geoffrey Gledhill, County Attorney, presented the Orange County procedures for consideration of Special Use Permits for Planned Developments. He explained 'the "findings of fact" that are prepared by the Planning Staff and the supporting evidence given as part of the presentation. He noted that the Planni~ Board completes a similar exercise when they consider these findings and public hearing ccerm~ents far their rece~miendation. The Board of C~-ssioners then use these findings arr7 recoirar~rx7ations in making their decision as to tY:e Issuance of Special Use Permits. Dr. Alice Gordon inquired if there would be a time to review the three general findings and Gledhill indicated there would be and that the burden of proof under the Orange County Ordinance was on those speaking in o pposition and must be presented in tl-ie form of coarpetent material and substantial evidence.
