ITEMS FOR DECISION - REGULAR AGENDA 1. ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT ATLAS AMENDMENT -- RURAL SUFFER PRESENTATION Director of Planning Marvin Collins presented a petition from Mr. Whitfield which will become a part of the permanent agenda file in the Clerk's office. Collins presented the proposed revisions to the Zoning Ordinance text and atlas which would establish a new zoning district classification, Rural Buffer (RB); establish criteria for its application; set interim dimensional requirements for lot area and rezone approximately 38,000 acres from Rural Residential (R-1) and Agricultural Residential (AR) to Rural Buffer (RB). The Planning Board recommended that no action be taken at this -= time on the RB proposals and that a public hearing beheld on March l0, 1987 jointly with the Town of Chapel Hill. The County Attorney recommended against delaying the adoption of the proposed amendments because of the strong relationship between the Land Use Plan and the Zoning ordinance. He recommended against leaving all lots less than two acres in their present R-1 zoning classification because of prohibitions against "spot zoning." He suggested that the "combination" issue be handled through an amendment to Article 1],.7.2 of the Zoning Ordinance.. BOARD COMMENTS ANDfOR,OUESTIONS In answer to a question from Commissioner Hartwell, Collins explained that a Commercial Feeder operation would be an operation where a person has livestock available on site, provides feed on site and raises them for sale/resale. Commissioner Halkiotis questioned the urgency of voting on this item at this time instead of waiting until after the public hearing. County Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill explained that orange County has a comprehensive plan which is regulated by the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations. If one is changed the other must be changed to conform. In this way the actions by the Board are more defensible and less arbitrary in a court of law. Gledhill stated that the County has approved the minimum lot size of two acres in the RB district on its Comprehensive Plan and any delay in conforming the ordinances to the Comprehensive Plan puts that decision at risk. Commissioner Willhoit proposed that a study be done of the design standards to be incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan that would --~ `~iltimately provide the open space that is desired in the RB and still have minimal impact on the property owners. The Board asked the CQUnty Manager to put this item on the next agenda for further discussion. Gledhill explained that the continuous frontage requirement could not be eliminated for only the RB area but would need to be done countywide. ~--. In answer to a question from Commissioner Carey, Collins stated, that the two acre standard was discussed along with 5 and 1Q acre standards. The two acre standard was a recommendation from Chapel Hill for the Joint Area Plan. COMMENTS FROM THE PLANNING BOARD CHAIR BARRY JACOBS Jacobs reiterated concerns raised by the Planning Board Members. He stated that the Planning Board attempted to address in their recommendation the concerns of those individuals who spoke at the public hearing. The Planning Hoard recommended that the two acre minimum lot size remain in effect for future development and that the concerns of those with preexisting lots be addressed. They recommended that the Board consider maintaining the same setbacks in the RB as presently in the R-1 districts and that the amendments and concerns be aired at a public hearing to be scheduled for March 10. Commissioner Carey stated his concerns for the equity issues which have not been addressed but stated the importance of protecting the relationship between the Zoning Ordinance and the Land Use Plan. PUBLIC COMMENT Regina Nobblett, Henry Whitfield, Roy Stroud, Helene Ivey, Melvin Parrish, David Parrish and Randy Danziger spoke in opposition of the of the 2 acre lot minimum in the Rural Buffer. Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Chair Marshall to approve the staff recommendation with a moratorium on the enforcement of the contiguous frontage regulation. The staff recommendation is that the Zoning Ordinance text/atlas amendments be adopted to conform with the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan. The proposed amendments, including recommended changes to address staff concerns as well as others expressed at the public hearing, are as follows: 1. Permitted uses in the Rural Buffer district would be identical to those permitted in the Agricultural Residential (AR) district except for the following: Change "cemetery" from a Permitted Use to Class B Special Use. Delete "extraction of earth products" as Permitted Use. Delete "non-profit educational cooperative" as Class A Special Use. Delete "greenhouses (on premises sales)" as Permitted Use. Delete "commercial feeder operation" as Permitted Use". The proposed changes would make the list of permitted uses identical to those permitted in the Rural Residential (R-1) zoning district. A complete listing of permitted uses in both AR and R--1 districts is provided in the attached Article 4.3 - Permitted Use Table. 2. Adopt proposed Rural Buffer "Intent" statement and "Application Criteria" as presented at public hearing. 3. .Adopt proposed renumbering of Articles 4.2.1 through 4.2.4 ~ presented at public hearing.. 4. Adopt dimensional requirements for proposed Rural Buffer district as shown on the accompanying tables. Contrary to what was earlier recommended, the dimensional requirements of the Rural Residential (R-1) zoning district would apply in the proposed Rural Buffer (RB) district except for "minimum lot area per dwelling unit" which would be two acres or 87,120 square feet and "minimum gross land area (planned developments only)". In the latter case, the minimum gross land area for a nonresidential planned development, and residential planned developments 1 and 2, would be four acres or 174,240 square feet, while the gross land area required fora mobile home park planned development would be 20 acres or 871,200 square feet. The required gross land area for planned developments is consistent with the practice in AR and R-1 districts of requiring twice the minimum lot area per dwelling unit for nonresidential and residential planned developments 1 and 2. The gross land area required for mobile home parks is likewise consistent, requiring 10 times the minimum land area per dwelling unit. 5. Adopt amendment to Zoning Atlas as proposed at public hearing rezoning approximately 38,000 acres of land from AR and R-1 to RB . Coupled with the above recommendation is another directing the Planning Board/staff to study other concerns voiced at the public hearing. These concerns, including provisions _ requiring combination of nonconforming lots, are listed on the accompanying sheet. As many concerns as possible should be addressed and proposed ordinance amendments presented at public hearing on March l0, 1987. 2n this respect, the approval of standards for the Rural Buffer area would be an interim action followed by additional investigation and refinement of adopted standards. Commissioner Hartwell expressed concern that the two acre minimum lot size provision was not publicized and endorsed the Planning Board recommendation to allow time to put together a package that will work. Marvin Collins concurred in that no standard per se was brought out at the Joint Planning public hearings but the concept of large lots was discussed. Chair Marshall and Commissioner Willhoit spoke in favor of the Planning Staff recommendation indicating that approval will speed up the time for consideration of alternatives and protect the County against undesirable development that may occur. Commissioner Halkiotis stated his opposition to the motion indicating the Planning Board recommendation would allow additional time to resolve the concerns expressed by the citizens in the RB. VOTE: Ayes, 3; Noes, 2 (Commissioners Halkiotis and Hartwell) 2. SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AMENDMENT -- LOT STANDARDS Proposed revisions to the Orange County Subdivision Regulations were presented. The revisions will bring the Subdivision Regulations in compliance with the Jcint Planning Area Land Use Plan that was adopted on 4 y. ~'~7ctober 13, 1986. The Planning Board recommended that the following wording be added to the first sentence in the first paragraph of Section IV-B-l. "The minimum lot size shall be as required by the Orange County Land Use Plan, orange County Zoning Ordinance or the Hillsborough Zoning Ordinance, whichever is applicable." ~- Motion was made by Commissioner willhoit, seconded by Commissioner, Carey to approve the Planning Board recommendation. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 3. ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT - TELEPHONE EXCHANGES A proposed amendment to the Zoning ordinance was presented. The text amendment would establish. a minimum lot size. requirement for telephone exchange facilities (without offices), subscriber loop huts, pressure regulator stations, and water and sewer pump stations in all zoning districts. The Planning Board recommended to add to Article 6.16.12, subsection d) "The minimum required lot area for such uses shall be 5,000 square feet. Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the Planning Board recommendation. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 4. WALKER'S LANDING II - PRELIMINARY Planner Greg Szymik presented the Preliminary Plan for Walker's Landing II. The property is located in Cedar Grove Township on SR 1383 (Eno Cemetery Road). Nine lots are proposed out of a 24.53 acre tract. The tract is designated as Agricultural Residential and Water Supply _ Watershed on the Land Use Plan. The Planning Board recommended approval ~" subject to the condition that all property lines below the 620 elevation must be removed and the property designated as Lake Orange Inc. Alois Callemyn, surveyor for the developer, asked that the property line be left at the 615 elevation. He stated that by approving the Planning Board recommendation the County would be setting property lines. County Attorney Geoffrey Gledhill ~.ndicated that the problem with using the 615 elevation is that it encroaches on the land owned by the County and it would not be in the County's best interest to approve a subdivision that sets lot lines that encroach on County property. Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, seconded by Commissioner Carey to approve the Planning Board recommendation. Bobby Nichols of Lake Orange Inc. stated that the land between the 615 and 620 elevation has never been deeded to the County. The County has a temporary flood easement for that land between the 615 and 620 elevation. He expressed his desire for the property owner to have control of the land between the water and the adjacent lot. He asked that the title be warranted to the 620' elevation but deeded to the 615' elevation. Gledhill pointed out that in seven (7) years the people who have deeded non-warranty deeds down to the lake front would have a claim of ownership to the lake front which .would oust Lake Orange and oust perhaps the County's easement. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. i ~~ 5. STACY HEIGHTS SECTION II - PRELIMINARY Planner Greg Szymik presented the Preliminary Plan for Stacy Heights Subdivision Section II, property of George Tate, Jr. The property is located on the east side of Rogers Road. Seven lots are proposed out of 6.787 acres. The property is zoned R-1 (Rural Residential) and located in the Transition area of the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan. Joint approval by the Board of Commissioners and the Chapel Hill Town Council is required. The Health Department has granted approval on lots 2, 4, 6, and 7. Lots 1, 3, and 5 are regarded as having restricted development potential because of the unsuitability of the subsurface soil for the installation of an on-site soil absorption sewage disposal facility. The Chapel Hill Town Council recommends denial of the Preliminary Plan as does the Orange County Planning Board. Submittal of a revised plan after consultation with Town and County Staffs is also recommended. Motion was made by Commissioner Willhoit, second by Commissioner Carey to approve the Planning Board recommendation to deny the Preliminary Plan. VOTE: UNANIMOUS. 6.

Whitehead stated that effective January 1, -1987 the State reimbursement for meals is $18.00 and out- of- state reimbursement is $23.00. With reference to Article III Section G.2 it was decided that language would be added to indicate that in the event that placing an employee on leave without pay conflicts with the Hatch Act, leave would not be granted. In that case in order to seek office, the employee would need to resign. The County would make the determination at the time the employee requested the leave. Motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Hartwell to approve Articles I, II and III through Section 5.3 of the Personnel Ordinance as amended. VOTE: UNANIMOUS.
