ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: December 15, 2009 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. ¢ - -F <br />SUBJECT: Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Table of Contents <br />DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />1. Draft Table of Contents <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Michael D. Harvey, Planner 245-2607 <br />Craig Benedict, Director 245-2592 <br />PURPOSE: To accept and approve the formatting and organizational structure of a draft <br />version of the table of contents for the proposed Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). <br />BACKGROUND: At the August 24, 2009 Quarterly Public Hearing, staff was authorized to <br />begin development of a UDO. As part of this project staff will also be developing a synopsis of <br />potential future amendments to address other identified issues for the Board's review and <br />comment. <br />Part of the approved work plan included the development of a draft table of contents to provide <br />the BOCC with an idea of how the UDO might look. It needs to be remembered that this is a <br />draft table of contents and that sections might be moved, renumbered, and re-titled before the <br />presentation of the draft UDO in August 2010. <br />The proposed methodology for numbering the sections, however, will likely remain the same. It <br />is staffs intention to place the adopted UDO into the County's existing Ordinance framework for <br />easier reference and for greater ease at codifying the UDO. Staff will also be coordinating how <br />this may be codified and the associated numbering scheme. The County Attorney's office will <br />be handling the codification of all County ordinances. <br />Staff is requesting that the Board approve the proposed formatting methodology (i.e. numbering, <br />general organizational structure, etc.) so that staff can proceed. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: This request has been reviewed by various County departments who <br />have determined the approval of the request will not create the need for additional funding for <br />the provision of County services. <br />RECOMMENDATION: The Manager recommends the Board: <br />1. Accept the update from staff regarding the UDO table of contents; and <br />2. Approve the proposed organizational framework. <br />
