Please slow it down! The onerously long <br /> document includes some significant changes in the County zoning process that merit more <br /> opportunities for citizen education and input. Of particular concern to me are changes to the <br /> Rural Buffer Zone and extraterritorial districts since I live in an unincorporated part of the county. <br /> Thanks for your consideration. <br /> Regards, <br /> Lorraine Belden McBride <br /> 1418 Gray Bluff Trail <br /> Chapel Hill, NC 27517 <br /> From: Linda Finch <fotofrieze @nc.rr.com> <br /> Date: Sun, 21 Nov 2010 22:40:47 -0500 <br /> Subject: Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) <br /> To: Barry Jacobs <bjacobs @co.orange.nc.us>, Bernadette Pelissier <br /> <bpelissier @co.orange.nc.us>, Alice Gordon <gordon.alice @gmail.com>, Mike Nelson <br /> <mikenelsonnc @aol.com>, Pam Hemminger<phemminger @bellsouth.net>, Steve Yuhasz <br /> <syuhasz @co.orange.nc.us>, Valerie Foushee <Vfoushee @co.orange.nc.us> <br /> Cc: Haw River Assembly <info @hawriver.org>, info @preserveruralorange.org <br /> Dear Members of the County Board of Commissioners: <br /> Only this evening have I become aware of some of the content of the proposed Unified <br /> Development Ordinance (UDO), that you will be discussing during your meeting tomorrow, <br /> November 22, 2010. As a member of Preserve Rural Orange, Citizens for Responsible Growth <br /> and the Haw River Assembly, I am extremely concerned that this document is not just <br /> "organizing" land use development regulations but could be fundamentally changing the way <br /> development is conducted in this County. <br /> I don't believe the general public nor architects like myself, have been made aware that this <br /> document introduces "conditional zoning districts" and "conditional uses." There is no public <br /> understanding that the Planning Board intends to eliminate the Special Use Permit which <br />
