Mr. Loach asked if any Commissioner would like to pull any item from the consent agenda.
Ms. Porterfield asked that the record reflect her commendation of Luck Stone for being a good corporate
citizen and providing their assistance in making the ball field at Stone Robinson School a reality by
providing some of the property.
Mr. Morris asked to take his hat off to the applicant for the Pavilions Phase II. As many remember that was
a highly contentious program going into it. This time there was a real partnership between neighbors and
the applicant that was great to see.
Mr. Lafferty asked to discuss the Heavy Industrial going to Light Industrial under ZTA- 2010 -00001 Industrial
Districts — Phase I — Resolution of Intent. In looking at that under objective #2, strategy 4 it says that it
needs to identify through the master plan and other efforts. He felt that the other efforts seem pretty open.
He takes their master plans as being sort of a contract between the County and the residents of who is
involved with the master plans.
Mr. Loach noted that he had the same question when he reviewed the ZTA objectives. It seems that it was
talking about amending the zoning code by special use permit. He questioned if most of that would be
covered under the master plan.
Mr. Cilimberg replied that the master plan would be the plan document or blue print for how it would it be
considered. The background here is making reference to what is in the Comprehensive Plan right now as
guidance. This resolution of intent actually would be to change ordinance provisions. If the Board
ultimately adopted the amendments that brought HI uses into the LI district, those HI uses would only be
allowed by special use permit. In review of the special use permit they would be referring back to things like
master plans and the economic development policy, which are the plan documents for the County. This is
intended to provide background on what guides the decision making and what would guide future decisions
regarding industrial uses as they might be proposed under the ordinance as it would be amended ultimately
reflecting this resolution of intent.
Mr. Lafferty asked why they would need an amendment to do this.
Mr. Cilimberg replied that they need an amendment in the Zoning Ordinance to be able to implement the
idea of generalizing the industrial use opportunities in the County. The amendment brings the HI uses into
the LI District; but, only through a special use permit process. The special use permit process involves a
public hearing by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors and ultimately a decision by the
Board on whether or not to grant that special use permit. Right now they could not have a HI use in the LI
District at all. It has to be a rezoning to LI. This provides a slightly different opportunity for any HI use that
may be appropriate in LI to be considered through the special use permit process.
Mr. Zobrist assumed that there would be a list of criteria to qualify for the special use permit in the
ordinance language.
Mr. Cilimberg replied yes, there is going to be a list of uses brought over and any supplementary regulations
that are necessary would be identified as well as part of that amendment. The Commission is not doing

that tonight. Tonight the request was to simply pass a resolution of intent that authorizes staff to proceed in
doing this. This is part of what the Board had asked staff to pursue as part of the adoption of the Economic
Development Policy, which is a part of the Comp Plan.
Mr. Lafferty asked if the ZTA would come back before the Planning Commission.
Mr. Cilimberg replied yes, the Commission would initially get this as a zoning text amendment, which was
scheduled for a public hearing in April. The Commission will make a recommendation to the Board at that
time and they in turn will act on it. The Commission will see the specifics of an ordinance change at that
time.
Motion: Mr. Franco moved and Mr. Zobrist seconded for approval of the consent agenda.
The motion passed by a vote of 7:0.
Mr. Loach noted that the consent agenda was approved.
