ITEMS REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA
i. Telecommunications Towers Regulations Amendments
The Board considered Planning Board and Administration recommendations, closing the
Public Hearing and making a decision on the proposed Telecommunication Towers
amendments to Article 6.18 and Article 8.8.17a of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance.
Commissioner Gordon made reference to pages 4 and 16. She wants to understand
the changes to the Master Telecommunications Plan and why general zoning approval was
deleted. Planning Director Craig Benedict said that on page 4, there is the definition that will
explain what one can do in the future, and it is only a placeholder. This definition was in there
previously, but there was not an adoption of a plan that would activate the use of it.
On page 16, it explains how the MTP would work in a future process. They hope to
have it as a prioritization mechanism in the future. Commissioner Gordon asked about the
statement, "that have received zoning approval from the County Commissioners" and why this
was taken out. Craig Benedict said that this could have invoked apre-zoned property for
allowing towers. They thought this might be too liberal at this point.
County Attorney Geof Gledhill said that this is also redundant in that the plan when
developed will not place on it sites that are not properly zoned for towers.
Commissioner Gordon asked about the all-bold part, "Information that may be shown on
the plan will include...," and asked if this information is to be shown if it is applicable. She said
that it should say, "Information to be shown on the plan will include..." Craig Benedict said that
it would be a determination of the County Commissioners about which sites of a natural area
may be assigned and which sites may not be assigned.
Commissioner Gordon said that this appears to be very confusing to her.
Chair Jacobs said that he feels fine with this. He asked if there was a definition of a
scenic corridor in Orange County regulations. Craig Benedict said that the comprehensive plan
has some definitions.
Chair Jacobs said that if they are going to take this to public hearing in May, he wants to
be sure that there is some data about bird migratory patterns.
A motion was made by Commissioner Carey, seconded by Commissioner Halkiotis to
approve the proposed amendments.
VOTE: UNANMOUS
I. Schools Class A Special Use Permit Amendments
The Board considered Planning Board and Administration recommendations, closing the
public Hearing and considered approval of a proposed amendment to the Orange County
Zoning Ordinance to make Schools: Elementary, Middle, and Secondary - a Class A Special
Use in appropriate zoning districts and to apply special use permit standards that meet the
general standards, zoning district requirements and similar standards as detailed in Section
8.8.29 ("Growth Management Subdivision Standards") of the Zoning Ordinance.
Commissioner Gordon asked for clarification about the Administration's approval. She
also asked about the significance of the storm water management issue on page two. Craig
Benedict said that during their conversation with the Planning Board, the original submittal
