Motion: Motion to approve update to UDO text amendment per North Carolina General Statute 160D. Mover: Cameron Sharpe For: 7 - Arianna Lavallee, Dr. Andre Knecht, Robert Reives, Cameron Sharpe, Kirk Smith, Bill Carver, Mark Lovick Motion Result: Passed V.E UDO Text Amendment for Mining and Quarries Planning Director Marshall Downey presented text amendments to the UDO that proposed to remove Section 4.16 Mining Special Use Overlay District and to update Table 4.6- 1 Permitted Use Matrix to add "Mining and Quarrying"as a permitted use, subject to supplemental development standards and approval of a Special Use Permit by the Board of Adjustment in the Residential Agriculture, Light Industrial, and Heavy Industrial zoning districts within the jurisdictions of the City of Sanford, Lee County and the Town of Broadway. This is a request that was brought from the Joint Planning Commission. A public hearing was held on May 19, 2021. Downey presented what the County currently does that was adopted in 2018. Currently under the UDO there is a two-step process 1. to apply for a mining overlay rezoning in either the green, blue and orange zones which is approved by the Board of Commissioners and 2. if approved, the applicant would also need to apply for a Special Use Permit which is approved by the Board of Adjustment. The Planning Board recommends Ordinance Option A as an alternative to what was adopted in 2018 which would remove the overlay zoning option and replace with allowing mining operations only in orange colored or heavy industrial areas or applicant would have to rezone to HI. Once zoned HI, the applicant would still need to apply for a special use permit which is the same as the current process. Ordinance Option B includes that the mining overlay would be removed so no zoning action would be required. The mining operations would be allowed in all the green, blue and orange zones with the issuance of a Special Use Permit Process, which is the same as the current process. 02A-UDO TA-Mining Quarries-MemoReco rev.pdf Motion: Motion to accept UDO Text Amendment Option A as recommended by the Planning board.
