Agenda Text

The Board is requested to conduct a public hearing and receive public comments on the Unified Development Ordinance Text Amendment, Text-Only Development Plans (TC1800008); and

 

First Motion: To adopt the appropriate Statement of Consistency pursuant to NCGS §153A-341; and

 

Second Motion: To adopt an ordinance amending the Unified Development Ordinance, incorporating revisions to amend Article 3, Applications and Permits; and Article 5, Use Regulations.

 

Summary. Text amendment TC1800008 would establish a limited, text-only development plan option for zoning map change requests to allow proffers that limit uses allowed within the requested zoning district. This alternative is limited in scope as staff develops a more comprehensive set of revisions for alternatives to the current development plan requirements.
