PURPOSE: To consider the legal advertisement for items to be presented at the Board of
County Commissioners/Planning Board Quarterly Public Hearing scheduled for February 25,
2008.
BACKGROUND: The Board of County Commissioners reviews proposals to be considered at
public hearing for consistency with general County policy and presentation format. The following
items are proposed for consideration at the February 25, 2008 Quarterly Public Hearing.
A. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
1. Buckhorn Village: Review of a proposed Planned Development (PD)/Special Use
Permit (SUP) rezoning/development application proposing the development of a unified
commercial development on approximately one hundred thirty (130) acre area that is
bordered by Interstate 85 to the north, Buckhorn Road to the west, and West Ten Road
to the south. The subject property is located within the 1-85/Buckhorn Road Economic
Development (ED) zoning district. The Planned Development proposes to offer a variety
of retail, service, office, and limited residential uses all under unified development control
pursuant to a master planned land use, utilities/stormwater, multi-modal transportation,
and open space program. (A map is included with this agenda item which shows the
specific area and vicinity)
2. Zoning Ordinance Text Amendments:
a. Telecommunications Towers: Session Law 2007-526 made revisions to North
Carolina General Statute Chapter 153A--Article 18, part 3B-- Wireless
Telecommunications Facilities effective December 1, 2007. To ensure Orange
County's wireless telecommunications regulations continue to be consistent with state
statutes, the followings sections and sub-sections should be revised. Some of
the proposed amendments are derived from revised state statute wording; the others
are Center for Municipal Solutions' (a telecommunications consulting firm who
represents local government interests) suggestions. Proposed amendments include:
1. Sub-section 6.18 -- Telecommunications Towers and Equipment,
2. Sub-section 8.4.1b) --Annual Telecommunications Projection Meeting,
3. Sub-section 8.8.17a -- Telecommunications Towers, and
4. Article 22 -- Definitions.
b. Planned Development: Amendments to articles 7.2.4 (Imposed Conditions), 7.2.5
(Special Use Required for Each Planned Development), Section 7.5.4 (Zoning
Officer's Recommendations), and Section 7.5.5 (Actions by Planning Board; Board of
County Commissioners) to address inconsistencies between existing ordinance
requirements and North Carolina General Statutes (NCGS), specifically the
requirement that imposed conditions be mutually agreed upon by the County and the
petitioner.
B. NON-PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS
1. Recommendations Regarding Water Conservation Priorities and Initiatives: A
working group from the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro, Orange County and OWASA
has prepared a multi-paged report with a series of draft recommendations to the
governing/policy boards of Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Orange County and OWASA regarding
near term and long term actions and priorities. The recommendations complement the
staff recommendations of the "Orange Turning Green" report previously submitted the
BOCC.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: Other than advertising costs, which are included in the FY 2007-08
Budget, there are no direct financial impacts associated with the approval of this item.
