<br />June 6, 2005 (Work Session) <br /> <br />Page <br /> <br />212 <br /> <br />developers object to the one-acre lot size as they feel it will require more <br />road length to each house and add to the cost of development. <br /> <br />Mr. Lentz presented two maps identified as a proposed zoning map <br />(formerly labeled commissioners' option) and a committee recommended map that <br />was a result of a steering committee meeting on Friday. He reported the <br />steering committee had recommended that areas with water and sewer service <br />should be zoned LDR to allow up to two houses to the acre. Mr. Lentz pointed <br />out the recommended changes in various areas of the county, including the <br />designation of the Odell community as LDR. He stated the proposed map does <br />not open any new areas to development. <br /> <br />There was discussion regarding the committee recommended map and the <br />proposed density in certain areas of the county, including the Odell <br />Community and the area around the reservoir. Issues addressed during the <br />discussion included the following: growth management implications of zoning; <br />the ability to rezone property to a higher density when utility services and <br />other infrastructure are in place to handle development; availability of <br />affordable housing; and the preservation of rural areas, including the pros <br />and cons of conventional subdivisions consisting of one acre lots versus open <br />space and/or amenity subdivisions that have smaller lots and required open <br />space. <br /> <br />A work session will be held on June 16 to further review the proposed <br />changes in the zoning and subdivision ordinances. <br /> <br />Commissioner Juba left the meeting at 8:08 p.m. <br /> <br />Consent Agreements <br /> <br />Chairman Carpenter reported she had received a telephone call from a <br />builder regarding the Consent Agreements that are currently pending for <br />subdivisions located within the City of Concord and approved by the City. <br /> <br />Mr. Day said the Board had tabled the Consent Agreements for <br />advancement of school adequacy until the new methodology is developed to <br />address school adequacy issues. He explained this action was consistent with <br />the Board 1 s earlier decision not to allow a developer to advance school <br />adequacy. Mr. Day stated the current methodology shows school inadequacies <br />but suggested the new methodology, when developed, could show that schools <br />for the next few years are adequate. <br /> <br />Rodger Lentz, Planning and Zoning Manager, briefly reviewed the <br />following school adequacy issues: current practice of reserving school <br />capacity for an entire subdivision; the phasing component associated with the <br />construction and build-out of a subdivision over a number of years; and the <br />new school space that is planned and/or constructed during the time homes in <br />a subdivision are being built. <br /> <br />The Board took no action regarding the pending Consent Agreements. <br /> <br />Adjournment <br /> <br />There being no further business to come before the Board, Chairman <br />Carpenter adjourned the meeting at 8:35 p.m. <br /> <br />J-~..';, :J-,~ <br /> <br />Clerk to the Board <br />
