Amendments to Definitions and Cane Creek Watershed Overlay <br />Districts (CANE-CA and CANE-PW) <br />Changes are proposed to the Zoning Ordinance to implement new <br />watershed protection measures for Cane Creek watershed in <br />southwestern Orange County.

Three <br />alternative management options have been identified for consideration, <br />which would alter either the minimum lot size and the amount of open <br />space in new major subdivision developments; or keep the existing <br />minimum lot size and require new major subdivision developments to <br />set aside a percentage of land as open space.

The changes to the definitions <br />section would reflect special standards for Flexible Development in the <br />watershed, which vary depending on the option selected. The changes <br />to the overlay districts would apply a minimum lot size of five acres in <br />the watershed, and allow for up to five lots as small as two acres in size <br />for lots of record, if this management option is selected. <br />ORANGE COUNTY SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS AMENDMENTS <br />1.
