Meeting recap
What happened, drawn from the records published after the meeting. Minutes Recording
The board approved its agenda and its October 20 minutes, with a correction to a vote count. No one had signed up for public comment. A board member employed by McAdams Company, the petitioner's firm, disclosed the connection before the item but was not asked to recuse himself. Planning Director Randy Cahoon-Tingle presented PB-25-596, a request from McAdams Company to amend the Turkey Creek conditional zoning district, PB-23-289. It would add two uses, office/medical/dental and office park medical/dental, to the M1 conditional zoning areas — the only change proposed. After brief questions, the board voted unanimously to recommend approval. Planning Director Cahoon-Tingle introduced Maie Armstrong, the town's new development services director, who previously worked in land development in Durham. The meeting adjourned with no further business.

Good evening.
For us,
we have a really really short presentation because we have a really really short item. So Kate Murdoch, who is sitting behind me, McAdams Company has submitted a petition requesting an amendment to a previously approved conditional zoning. Uh wants to add to the list of permitted uses in the M1, which is the two blue areas up there. um the addition of office slashmed I mean comma slashmed dental and office park medical dentl those are two uses that were not in the list and uh otherwise
you go into the packet and go to the next last page on this um basically it's on this in blue can you pull up this two two terms and conditions. It's It's lit. All right. Now, it's literally it's in here in blue. Okay. One more page, I think. There you go. If you go scroll down just a little bit, [clears throat] it's at the bottom where it's in blue. Yeah, there you go. See where it says office medical office part medical dentl. So it's all those uses plus that and uh the request of course I'm sorry but when you go to change an existing conditional zoning and you add something you have to go through the process again. So we're here today. Does anybody have any questions for the petitioner [clears throat]
or me? Why did I just drop it sound like lead? I I just have a question about this page that ends in the middle of the sentence. Is there something missing?
There was about seven more pages. This is the only change being made to that list of conditions. That's why I didn't include all of them. They're not all up for grabs. It's just adding one minor phrase.
Okay.
Yes, ma'am.
Anyone have any questions? Seems like a very reasonable ask um to me. But all right, [clears throat] hearing none. I'll uh hear a motion to recommend approval.
I'll move to approve.
