[Durham INC] Text Amendment TC1200004 City Council Public Hearing

[Pat Carstensen]

Here is what it says about what the annual report should contain


A. Annually, the Planning staff will prepare conduct a public hearing before each governing body for the purpose of addressing and possibly rectifying any differences between the adopted plans of the City and County. There shall be public notification of the hearing in accordance with paragraph 3.2.5B.1, Published Notice, and public participation shall be allowed. an Evaluation and Assessment Report (EAR) for review and approval by the governing bodies. The EAR will include, at a minimum, the following: 


1. A rectification of any differences between the adopted Future Land Use Map of the City and County; 
2. A report on the progress of policies within the Durham Comprehensive Plan; 
3. Proposed changes to the policies of the Durham Comprehensive Plan that are primarily technical in nature, if any; 
4. A summary of land use trends and issues that developed over the previous year; and 
5. Technical updates to the Future Land Use Map: a. Amendments to the Recreation and Open Space layer, if needed, to conform to the most recent Special Flood Hazard Area designation by the Federal Emergency Management Agency; 
b. Amendments to the Recreation and Open Space layer to include those properties for which a conservation easement has been recorded with the Register of Deeds; and 
c. Amendments to the Agricultural layer to include those properties for which an agricultural easement has been recorded with the Register of Deeds. 


B. The governing bodies shall hold public hearings for the approval of the EAR. Notification of the public hearings shall be pursuant to paragraph 3.2.5, Notice and Public Hearings. 

I think this is generally good, but we need to be ready to make comments as a lot of progress and mischief can happen -- e.g. the summary of land use trends can say we are running out of places to put things we didn't want anyhow....
