PURPOSE: To consider a County response to text amendments in Article 15 of the Carrboro
Land Use Ordinance concerning Village Mixed Use (VMU) and Office/Assembly (O/A) districts.
BACKGROUND: Proposed amendments to Carrboro's Land Use Ordinance (LUO) were
presented at a Town public hearing on May 7, 2002. The minutes from the hearing are
included as Attachment B to item D(1)from the May 28 Board of Aldermen meeting referenced
above (the complete agenda for the hearing can be accessed at www.ci.carrboro.nc.us/Mayor&
Board of Aldermen/Meeting Agendas/Item D(3)).
The LUO amendments are applicable throughout Carrboro's planning jurisdiction, which
includes the Northern Transition Area (NTA). Pursuant to the Joint Planning Agreement, the
amendments were submitted to Orange County for review, but without the context of their
potential usage in an upcoming rezoning application involving the proposed Winmore
development.
The Board of Aldermen voted on the amendments on May 28, 2002, approving, or approving
with modifications, all but two of the 18 proposed changes. Those not approved were:
1. Allow Board of Aldermen to approve projects whose development standards do not specifically
meet all provisions spelled out in the LUO.
2. Allow sidewalks and walkways to be brick or concrete with brick borders no longer required.
Agenda item D(1) from the May 28 Board of Aldermen meeting is included as an attachment.
Winmore and the LUO amendments were discussed at County Commissioner meetings on
June 6 and again on June 24. Planning staff was directed to prepare the attached analysis of
