Overview: Staff requests two items to be called for a public hearing:

1.                     To amend the Blue Hill Form-Based Code Section 3.11 of the Land Use Management Ordinance to (1) include affordable housing as part of the purpose statement of the District, and (2) to provide alternative paths to applicants for project review, with an incentive path available to applicants that provide stormwater treatment for 50 percent of post-construction impervious surface area. This amendment is in response to (1) the Council Blue Hill Petition dated March 14, 2018 and (2) to legislation recently enacted by the NC General Assembly (Session Law 2018-145). The attached Resolution A for Section 3.11 would call the necessary public hearing for May 22, 2019.

 

2.                     To amend the Special Use Permits Modifications Section 4.5.4 of the Land Use Management Ordinance to allow projects on sites encumbered by a Special Use Permit to address documented health, safety, or environmental issues through an administrative approval process. This amendment is in response to Town Council’s request to create an alternative process for specific project types. The attached Resolution B for Section 4.5.4, would call the necessary public hearing for May 22, 2019.
