Item #7 Public Hearing on Consideration of Text Amendment to Article IV of the Lillington Unified Development Ordinance Mayor Glenn McFadden opened the Public Hearing at 6:25 p.m. Mayor McFadden recognized Landon Chandler, Planning Director. Mr. Chandler explained the request to amend Article 4.10.6 – Industrial Standards and Article 4.09.7 – Vehicular Use Area Screening & Landscaping. Article 4.10.6 Industrial Standards Industrial development serves a different purpose than commercial or office uses. The challenge is setting standards that: •Preserve design quality along visible corridors and gateways, and •Remain economically feasible for industrial investors who prioritize functionality overarchitectural appearance.When standards are too strict (e.g., requiring brick façades or detailed articulation on buildings not visible to the public), they can discourage site selection or increase project costs unnecessarily. Many towns use a tiered approach: •Tier 1 (Gateway / Major Road Frontage): Maintain full architectural standards — façadematerials (e.g., masonry, EIFS, metal panels with articulation), enhanced landscaping, and screening. •Tier 2 (Interior Industrial Areas): Simplify standards — allow pre-engineered metal buildings,less façade modulation, but still require screening of loading docks, neutral color palettes, and quality landscaping. •Tier 3 (Hidden / Rear Parcels): Minimal design requirements beyond basic screening and siteorganization. • Article 4.09.7 Vehicular Use Area Screening & Landscaping This amendment replaces rigid continuous linear planting strip requirements with a performance-based approach that maintains shade/canopy and streetscape quality while improving site design flexibility, circulation, and stormwater integration. •Developer and maintenance feedback indicates interior linear strips reduce parking efficiency,complicate grading, and increase costs with limited visual benefit when robust perimeterlandscaping is provided. •Equivalent canopy coverage can be achieved with clustered islands and enhanced perimeters. •The amendment remains consistent with the UDO’s goals to mitigate heat-island effects, screenvehicular areas, and enhance town character. Lillington Board of Commissioners January 13, 2026 Benefit Description Improves parking efficiency Fewer internal islands allow better circulation, ADA compliance, andfewer conflict points. Supports stormwater integration Perimeter or clustered tree plantings can double as biofiltration areas. Reduces maintenance costs Easier mowing, irrigation, and plowing. Retains aesthetic intent Trees still required per 10 spaces, with perimeter emphasis maintaining streetscape quality. Encourages flexibility Allows creative site design rather than formulaic striping. With no additional comments, Mayor McFadden closed the Public Hearing at 6:32 p.m. Item #7A Consideration of Approval of the Text Amendment to Article IV-Section 4.10.6 and Article IV Section 4.09.7 of the Lillington Unified Development Ordinance Commissioner Langdon made a motion to approve the Text Amendment to Article IV-Section 4.10.6 and Article 4.09.7 of the Lillington Unified Development Ordinance. Commissioner Page seconded the motion that passed unanimously. Non-Agenda Items: Mayor Glenn McFadden inquired as to whether there were any non-agenda items that should be addressed by Town Board members or staff. Adjournment: The meeting adjourned following the unanimous approval of a motion by Commissioner Langdon and a second by Commissioner Page.
