BACKGROUND: Boundary Adjustment= When the I-85/U.S.70 Economic Development District was approved on March 2, 1994, several properties were split by the Economic Development District boundaries on either the Land Use Plan or Zoning Atlas. During the public hearings concerning the district proposals,the owners requested that all of their property be included in the Economic Development District category. CP-4-94 I.85/U.S.70 Economic Development District Adjustments proposed to move the Land Use Plan designation boundaries to property lines are as follows: Current Proposed Township Tax Map.Block.Lot Acreage Deei®ation Deft1ation Eno 5.25..90B 2.86 Commercial Economic Eno 5.25..91 1.79 Activity Development Eno 5.25..102 0.80 Node Activity Eno 5.25..102A 1.01 Node Maps showing the affected properties and proposed boundary line changes are provided as attachments. Z-4.94 I-85/U.S.70 Economic Development District In addition to the Land Use Plan boundaries, several properties were split by either the "zoning district" boundary or by a "development area" boundary identified in the Economic Development Districts Design Manual(Article 6.29 of the Zoning Ordinance).During the public hearings concerning the district proposals,the owners requested that all of their property be included in the Economic Development District (EDD) zoning district. The owners also requested that adjustments be made in the Primary and Secondary Development Area designations to include all of their property. Adjustments proposed to move the zoning district boundaries to property lines are as follows: Current Proposed Township Tax MaD.Block.Lot ASMIN a Zonin¢ Zonin Eno 5.25..90B 2.86 R-1 EDD Eno 5.25..91 1.79 R-1 EDD Eno 5.25..102 0.80 R-1 EDD Eno 5.25.102A 1.01 R-1 EDD Adjustments proposed to the development area boundaries described in the Economic Development Districts Design Manual (Article 6.29 of the Zoning Ordinance) are as follows: Current Proposed Development Development Township Tax Mau.Block.Lot AgMae Area Area Eno 5.25..90B 2.86 None Primary 7.18 Secondary Primary Eno 5.25..91 1.79 None Primary 5.21 Secondary Primary Eno 5.25..102 0.80 None Secondary Eno 5.25..102A 1.01 None Secondary Eno 5.25.103 0.76 Secondary Primary Eno 5.25..59 1.99 Secondary Primary Eno 5.25..54A 4.73 Secondary Primary Maps showing the affected properties and proposed boundary line changes are provided as attachments. Proposed Text Amendments:When the Board of-Commissioners approved the Economic Development District proposals on March 2, changes or amendments to the proposals were discussed and continued to its March 15 meeting.One major policy question discussed was the locational criteria of Commercial,Commercial-Industrial, Economic Development, and similar non-residential activity nodes. The Board of Commissioners approved a recommendation that proposals suggested by Commissioners Gordon and Insko be referred to the Planning Board for review with the understanding that the Planning Board's recommendation to the Commissioners will be made in time for the amendments to be heard at the May 23 quarterly public hearing. At its March 21, 1994 meeting, the Planning Board referred proposed amendments to the adopted Economic Development Districts to the Ordinance Review Committee with instructions to provide a recommendation to the Planning Board by its April 18 meeting. Proposed amendments were provided to the Ordinance Review Committee for review/discussion on March 29, 1994.Subsequent to that meeting,the report of the Ordinance Review Committee was presented to the Planning Board at its April 12 meeting.The Planning Board's report was presented to the Board of Commissioners at its May 2, 1994 meeting. The proposals related to clarification of the"Locational" or"Application" Criteria contained in the Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance, respectively, are presented as an attachment, including the recommendations of the Ordinance Review Committee and Commissioner Gordon. RECOMMENDATION: Article 20.3 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that the Zoning Officer's recommendation be presented to the Planning Board within 30 days of receipt of an application. However, Article 20.4 exempts any application for amendment to the Zoning Ordinance text by either the public or the County from the provisions of Article 20.3. Likewise, plan and/or atlas amendments initiated by the County are not subject to the 30-day provision.In either case, though, the public hearing is the time scheduled for presentation of the Zoning Officer's recommendation. Zoning Officer Recommendation The Zoning Officer prepared the analysis of the proposed Zoning Ordinance text amendments and presented them to the Ordinance Review Committee of the Planning Board. The proposals have been amended as recommended by that Committee, and the Zoning Officer concurs with the changes as recommended.Provided the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners find in the affirmative, the Zoning Officer recommends approval of the proposed text amendments. In addition, the Zoning Officer recommends approval of the proposed Land Use Plan and Zoning Atlas boundary adjustments. No decision is made on the proposed amendments by either the Planning Board or Board of Commissioners at the public hearing. Amendments initiated by the County are not subject to time limitations other than those specified by the Board of Commissioners. Administration Recommendation The Administration recommends that the proposed amendment be referred to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than August 8, 1994. r 024 (fin - ii W � �r�!'• '�e W CL. a CL Is t irc > +W ° Q // ' a W 1 '� C7 �` c y Ln W W J �� rA = C ; _ I .g) Co H w- I v y is wa SL a �� S.

LWPACTS/ISSUES When the Board of Commissioners approved the Economic Development District proposals on March 2, changes or amendments to the Economic Development Districts proposals were discussed and continued to its March 15 meeting. The discussion focused on two major policy questions: 1. Location of Commercial,Commercial-Industrial,Economic Development,and similar non-residential activity nodes; and 2. Board of Commissioners review of economic development proposals. The Board of Commissioners approved a recommendation that proposals suggested by Commissioners Gordon and Insko be referred to the Planning Board for review with the understanding that: 1. The Planning Board's recommendation to the Commissioners will be made in time for the amendments to be heard at the May 23 quarterly public hearing; and 2. The Planning Board will consider a variety of approval options;i.e., Staff, Planning Board, and Commissioners. At its March 21, 1994 meeting, the Planning Board referred proposed amendments to the adopted Economic Development Districts to the Ordinance Review Committee with instructions to provide a recommendation to the Planning Board by its April 18 meeting. Proposed amendments were provided to the Ordinance Review Committee for review/discussion on March 29,1994.Subsequent to that meeting, the report of the Ordinance Review Committee was presented to the Planning Board at its April 12 meeting. The Planning Board's report was presented to the Board of Commissioners at its May 2, 1994 meeting. Only those proposals related to clarification of the "Locational" or "Application" Criteria contained in the Land Use Element and Zoning Ordinance,respectively,are presented below.

PROPOSED ZONING ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDI[ENTS 1. Amend Article 4.2.19 - District Statements of Intent and Application Criteria [Economic Development (ED) District] by revising it to read as follows: Economic Development (ED) District a. Intent The purpose of the Economic Development(ED)District is to provide locations for a wide range of low light industrial, distribution, flex space, office, and research service/retail uses. Flex space typically includes one-story buildings designed,constructed,and marketed as suitable for use as offices but able to accommodate other uses;e.g.,warehouse,showroom,manufacturing,assembly or similar operations. Such areas have been targeted for economic development and are located adjacent to interstate and major arterial highways. They are subject to special design criteria and performance standards used to minimize impacts beyond the space occupied by the use. b. Application Criteria This district will usually be applied where the following conditions exist: 1. The district is located adjacent to a Federal Interstate Highway, with direct access to a major arterial road. 2. The district is located outside of the Chapel Hill - Carrboro Rural Buffer area as designated in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. 3. The district shall not be located within the critical area of a designated water supply watershed. OPTION#1 -RBC0JCM LADED BY ORDINANCE RS'VIEW COAL[77TER 4.
