from the Durham-Chapel Hill-Carrboro(DCHC) Urban Area
Thoroughfare Plan. The connector is referenced in maps and text
pertaining to the I-85/US Hwy 70 Economic Development District
(EDD). The proposed amendment eliminates all references to the NC

The proposed amendment was presented for public hearing on May 27,
1997. There were no citizen comments.
The Planning Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment.

Presentation by Mary Willis.
This item is to consider a proposed amendment to update information
related to water supply and sewage disposal in the I40/Old NC 86
Economic Development District(EDD).
Article 2.4 of the EDD Design Manual(Environmental Factors)

e) Article 2.3 Land Use Intensity
Article 3.2 Landscape Design
Article 3.3 Circulation and Parking
Article 2.4 Environmental Factors(Noise)
Presentation by Mary Willis.
This item is to consider a proposed amendment to replace land use
categories referenced in various text and tables in the Design Manual to
match those found in the Permitted Use Table.
The Permitted Use Table in the EDD Design Manual categorizes
permitted land uses according to the Standard Industrial Classification
Manual(SIC)prepared by the Federal Office of Budget and
Management. Using the SIC allows staff to more clearly determine the
land use category into which a specific proposed use would fall to
determine whether or not that use is allowed.
The SIC categories used in the EDD Design Manual are:
Residential
Agricultural,Forestry and Fishing
Construction
Manufacturing,Assembly and Processing
Transportation,Communication and Utilities
Finance,Insurance and Real Estate
Retail Trade
Services
Government
The Design Manual includes various tables and text which specify the
standards applicable to various land uses. However,the land uses
listed in some of the tables do not correspond with the land uses listed
in the Permitted Use Table. It can be difficult to determine the
category into which a proposed use falls for the purpose of determining
whether or not it is allowed in a specific EDD,and which standards
should be applied.
The proposed amendment renames the land uses listed in the following
tables to correspond with the land uses listed in the Permitted Use
Table:
a)Minimum Required Site Volume Ratios(page 2.3.10)
b)Off-Street Parking Requirements for Selected Land Uses(page
3.3.7)
