The property is generally located off of Roxboro Plant Rd. The subject property includes an Industrial future land use designation. This amendment request is to change the zoning designation on the tract listed above from R to G-I for future industrial development.

Zoning amendment review shall also follow specific criteria as listed in NCGS Article 7, § 160-701, as follows: Article 7. Zoning Regulation. § 160D-701. Purposes. Zoning regulations shall be made in accordance with a comprehensive plan and shall be designed to promote the public health, safety, and general welfare. To that end, the regulations may address, among other things, the following public purposes: to provide adequate light and air; to prevent the overcrowding of land; to avoid undue concentration of population; to lessen congestion in the streets; to secure safety from fire, panic, and dangers; to facilitate the efficient and adequate provision of transportation, water, sewerage, schools, parks, and other public requirements; and to promote the health, safety, morals, or general welfare of the community. The regulations shall be made with reasonable consideration, among other things, as to the character of the district and its peculiar suitability for particular uses and with a view to conserving the value of buildings and encouraging the most appropriate use of land throughout the local government's planning and development regulation jurisdiction. The regulations may not include, as a basis for denying a zoning or rezoning request from a school, the level of service of a road facility or facilities abutting the school or proximately located to the school (2019-111, s. 2.4; 2020-3, s. 4.33(a); 2020-25, s. 51(a), (b), & (d).) The Person County & City of Roxboro Joint Comprehensive Land Use Plan (Comp Plan) includes the following Guiding Principles, with relation to this rezoning request: 6 Guiding Principle No. 2 – Facilitating Sustainable Economic Growth • Guiding Principle No. 2.1 – Designate sufficient developable land and sites to support economic growth. • Guiding Principle No. 2.4 – Identify and recruit industry sectors that bring diversity to the economic/employment base. • Guiding Principle No. 2.7 – Provide utility infrastructure to support economic growth. Amending the zoning designation for the subject property to G-I will be consistent and compatible with the site’s Industrial future land use designation and Comp Plan that proposed future industrial development on the site. Upon review of Application CD-01-24, the Planning Board is to advise and comment on whether the proposed action is consistent or inconsistent with the County’s adopted Comp Plan. This “Statement of Reasonableness and Plan Consistency” may be approved in a single-statement for a motion. Specifically, the Planning Board shall provide a written recommendation to the Board of Commissioners from this single-statement addressing the Comp Plan consistency or inconsistency and any other matter, as deemed appropriate by the Planning Board. Any statement of inconsistency shall not preclude consideration or approval of the proposed amendment application by the Board of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners shall also adopt a statement describing whether their action is consistent or inconsistent with the Comp Plan and why that action is reasonable and in the public’s interest. Planning Staff Analysis & Recommendation Based on the above, Planning & Zoning Department staff recommends approval of Conditional District Rezoning Application, CD-01-24 and that the Planning Board provide a written Statement of Reasonableness and Plan Consistency to the Board of Commissioners in a single-statement potential motion, as follows: “I hereby move to approve Conditional District Rezoning Application, CD-01-24, for the Duke Energy Progress, LLC site to rezone the 297-acre vacant subject property from a R (Residential) to a G-I (General Industrial) zoning designation and find it is consistent with the adopted Person County & City of Roxboro Joint Comprehensive Land Use Plan.” Attachments: Exhibit A – Site Plan Exhibit B – Aerial Photo 7 8 9 10 11 E D C B A F C B A D E D C B A F C B A D 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 E D C B A F C B A DWG SIZE REVISION FOR DRAWING NO.

Information: Under the Mini-Brooks Act in North Carolina, a county can exempt a project from the formal Qualification-Based Selection (QBS) process if the estimated professional fees are below $50,000. To secure this exemption, the county must formally document its decision to bypass the QBS requirements for that specific project. This documentation involves: 1. Written Statement: The county must create a written statement declaring the project’s exemption status under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-64.32. The document should include basic details, such as the project name, and specify that it qualifies for exemption because the professional fee is under the $50,000 threshold. (See attached resolution.) 2. Approval Authority: Although not legally required, many counties choose to have the exemption approved by the governing board or another authorized official. This step, while optional, can enhance transparency and ensure the decision aligns with local policies. Financial Impact: Funding in the amount of $13,000 is available in the FY25 Adopted Bdget to cover the cost of the two projects. Recommended Action: Approve Resolution Exempting Various Projects from G.S. 143-64.31. Submitted By: Katherine M. Cathey, County Manager 45 Resolution Exempting Various Projects from G.S. 143-64.31 WHEREAS, G.S. 143-64.31 requires the initial solicitation and evaluation of firms to perform architectural, engineering, surveying, construction management-at-risk services, and design-build services (collectively “design services”) to be based on qualifications and without regard to fee; WHEREAS, the County proposes to enter into one or more contracts for design services for work on: 1. Building envelope engineering and consulting services on an as-needed basis, 2. Condition assessment (PCA) and moisture survey (MS) for the Person County Human Services Building roof and exterior walls, and WHEREAS, G.S. 143-64.32 authorizes units of local government to exempt contracts for design services from the qualifications-based selection requirements of G.S. 143-64.31 if the estimated fee is less than $50,000; and WHEREAS, the estimated fee for design services for each of the above-described projects is less than $50,000. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that: Section 1. The above-described projects are hereby made exempt from the provisions of G.S. 143-64.31. Section 2. This resolution shall be effective upon adoption. ADOPTED this _____ day of __________, 2025. ________________________________ Kyle Puryear, Chairman Person County Board of Commissioners Attest: [SEAL] _________________________________ Michele Solomon, Clerk to the Board Person County Board of Commissioners 46 Page 1 of 5 January 17, 2025 Person County General Services 304 South Morgan Street Roxboro, NC, 27573 Attention: Ray Foushee General Services Director Reference: Proposal for On-Call Open End Agreement REI Proposal No. P25RAL-019 Dear Mr. Foushee: In response to our recent discussions, we are pleased to submit this proposal for your consideration.

ARTICLE 2. CLIENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES: CLIENT or his authorized representative will: 2.1 Provide REI with a written scope of work clearly itemizing REI’s duties in connection with THE PROJECT. 2.2 REI shall indicate to the CLIENT the information needed for rendering of services hereunder. The CLIENT shall provide to REI such information as is available to the CLIENT and the CLIENT’s consultants and contractors, and REI shall be entitled to rely upon the accuracy and completeness thereof. The CLIENT recognizes that it is impossible for REI to assure the accuracy, completeness and sufficiency of such information, either because it is impossible to verify, or because of errors or omissions which may h ave occurred in assembling the information the CLIENT is providing. Accordingly, the CLIENT agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to indemnify and hold REI and REI’s sub-consultants harmless from any claim, liability or cost (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of defense) for injury or loss arising or allegedly arising from errors, omissions or inaccuracies in documents, or other information provided by the CLIENT to REI. 2.3 Furnish right of entry onto The PROJECT site for REI to make the necessary field studies.

PAYMENT: 6.1 CLIENT will pay REI for services and expenses in accordance with REI’s proposal. REI’s invoices will be presented at the completion of its work or monthly and will be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt by the CLIENT or his authorized representative. 6.2 Accounts beyond 30 days will be considered delinquent and shall be subject to service charge at a rate of 1.5% per month of delinquent amount. 6.3 REI shall be paid in full for all services under the Agreement, including any overruns of CLIENT'S contract or any unforeseen need for REI’s services exceeding original contract requirements. Payment for such services shall be made irrespective of any cla im by CLIENT for compensation for additional work conducted.

EXTENT OF AGREEMENT: The Agreement, including the proposal and these terms and conditions, represents the entire agreement between CLIENT and REI and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations or agreements, written or oral. The agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by CLIENT and REI. The parties to this Agreement may from time to time by mutual agreement seek to modify, extend or enlarge the services described in the Proposal. In the event the parties agree to a change to add additional servi ces, or to make other modifications to the services, REI’s compensation, the schedule and any other relevant terms and conditions of the Proposal shall be equitably adjusted prior to performance of such services.

ARTICLE 9. CERTIFICATE OF MERIT: The CLIENT shall make no claim for professional negligence, either directly or by way of a cross complaint against REI unless the CLIENT has first provided REI with a written certification executed by an independent consultant currently practicing in the same discipline as REI and licensed in the State where the work was performed. This certification shall: a) contain the name and license of the certifier; b) specify the acts or omissions that the certifier contends are not in conformance with the standard of care for a consultant performing professional services under similar circumstances; and c) state in detail the basis for the certifier's opinion th at such acts or omissions do not conform to the standard of care.

REI will, upon request, file certification of such insurance coverage with CLI ENT or his authorized representative. 4.2 No insurance of whatever kind or type, which may be carried by REI, is to be considered as in any way limiting the contractor's or subcontractor's responsibility for damages resulting from his operations or for furnishing work and materials to T he PROJECT. CLIENT agrees, therefore, to include, or cause to be included in The PROJECT'S construction contract, such requirements for insurance coverage and performance bonds to be secured and maintained by THE PROJECT contractor as CLIENT deems adequate to indemnify CLIENT, REI, and other concerned parties, against claims for damages and to insure compliance of work performance and materials with PROJECT requirements. ARTICLE 5. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY: 5.1 Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in this Agreement and to the fullest extent permitted by law: (i) REI shall not be liable, whether based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, indemnity, error and omission or any other cause whatsoever, for any consequential, special, incidental, indirect, punitive or exemplary damages of CLIENT, or damages of CLIENT arising from or in connection with loss of power, loss of use, loss of revenue or profit (actual or anticipated), loss by reason of shutdown or non-operation, increased cost of construction, cost of capital, cost of replacement power or customer claims, and CLIENT hereby releases REI from any such liability; and (ii) in no event shall the cumulative aggregate liability of REI, or its employees, officers or directors, to CLIENT resulting from, arising out of or in connection with the performance or nonperformance of the services o r other obligations under this Agreement, exceed the lesser of (i) the total compensation paid to REI pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) $10,000.00, regardless of the legal theory under which such liability is imposed. The remedies stated in this Agreement are CLIENT's sole and exclusive remedies for any failure by REI to comply with obligations to CLIENT. ARTICLE 6. PAYMENT: 6.1 CLIENT will pay REI for services and expenses in accordance with REI’s proposal. REI’s invoices will be presented at the completion of its work or monthly and will be paid within thirty (30) days of receipt by the CLIENT or his authorized representative. 6.2 Accounts beyond 30 days will be considered delinquent and shall be subject to service charge at a rate of 1.5% per month of delinquent amount. 6.3 REI shall be paid in full for all services under the Agreement, including any overruns of CLIENT'S contract or any unforeseen need for REI’s services exceeding original contract requirements. Payment for such services shall be made irrespective of any cla im by CLIENT for compensation for additional work conducted. Any such claim shall in no respect delay payment of fees for services performed by REI. ARTICLE 7. EXTENT OF AGREEMENT: The Agreement, including the proposal and these terms and conditions, represents the entire agreement between CLIENT and REI and supersedes all prior negotiations, representations or agreements, written or oral. The agreement may be amended only by written instrument signed by CLIENT and REI. The parties to this Agreement may from time to time by mutual agreement seek to modify, extend or enlarge the services described in the Proposal. In the event the parties agree to a change to add additional servi ces, or to make other modifications to the services, REI’s compensation, the schedule and any other relevant terms and conditions of the Proposal shall be equitably adjusted prior to performance of such services. ARTICLE 8. MEDIATION: 8.1 In an effort to resolve any conflicts that arise during the design or construction of the project or following the completion of the project, the Client and REI agree that all disputes between them arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be sub mitted to nonbinding mediation unless the parties mutually agree otherwise. The Client and REI further agree to include a similar medi ation provision in all agreements with independent contractors and consultants retained for the project and to require all independent contractors and consultants also to include a similar mediation provision in all agreements with subcontractors, subconsultan ts, suppliers or fabricators so retained, thereby providing for mediation as the primary method for dispute resolu tion between the parties to those agreements. ARTICLE 9. CERTIFICATE OF MERIT: The CLIENT shall make no claim for professional negligence, either directly or by way of a cross complaint against REI unless the CLIENT has first provided REI with a written certification executed by an independent consultant currently practicing in the same discipline as REI and licensed in the State where the work was performed. This certification shall: a) contain the name and license of the certifier; b) specify the acts or omissions that the certifier contends are not in conformance with the standard of care for a consultant performing professional services under similar circumstances; and c) state in detail the basis for the certifier's opinion th at such acts or omissions do not conform to the standard of care. This certificate shall be provided to REI not less than thirty (30) days prior to the presentation of any claim or the institution of any arbitration, mediation or judicial proceeding. This Certificate of Merit clause will take precedence over any existing state law in force at the time of the claim or demand for arbitration. ARTICLE 10, BIOLOGICAL GROWTH: CLIENT releases REI from any and all claims CLIENT and CLIENT's employees, tenants or any other building occupants may have as a result of biological growth and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold REI harmless from any and all penalties, actions, l iabilities, costs, expenses and damages arising from or relating to the presence of mold in CLIENT's Building. 57 Proposal No. P25RAL-017 Page 7 of 7 STANDARD FEE SCHEDULE A.
