There have been many changes between the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) discussed <br /> earlier this fall and the final document brought to the November 22 Quarterly Public Hearing. In <br /> addition, this document was not available to the public until less than two weeks before the <br /> hearing. Furthermore, the Chapel Hill Town Council and Carrboro Board of Aldermen need a <br /> chance to review the UDO to ascertain how it applies to the areas covered by the Joint Planning <br /> Agreement. <br /> C. ADDITIONAL TIME FOR REVIEW <br /> Because of the proposed addition of floating zoning districts (Conditional Districts) which is a <br /> significant change to Orange County's current zoning ordinance, and the number of changes <br /> that were incorporated into the extremely large UDO document brought to this public hearing, <br /> the Commissioners should allow more time for the public, the towns, the Planning Board, and <br /> the BOCC itself to assess how the changes will impact all of us. <br /> AMG 11/22/2010 <br /> Second document: <br /> UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE - KEY ARTICLES AND SECTIONS <br /> The Planning Board should review all articles in the UDO, and then vote on whether or not they <br /> recommend approval. <br /> I. KEY ARTICLES <br /> The following articles should be reviewed with special care. <br /> Articles 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and related definitions in Article 10. <br /> II. KEY SECTIONS <br /> In addition, there are some key sections to be reviewed. They include, but are not necessarily <br /> limited to, the following sections. <br /> A. CONDITIONAL DISTRICTS <br /> Here are the sections (that I have identified so far) that cover Conditional Districts. There are <br /> also definitions in Article 10. <br /> Conditional Districts, Sec 2.9, pp. 2-38 through 2-46 <br /> Conditional Districts, Sec. 3.7, pp. 3-62 through 3-72 <br /> Conditional Uses, Sec. 5.1.4, pp. 5-3 through 5-5 <br /> Table of Permitted Uses, Sec. 5.2, beginning on p. 5-6 <br /> Additional Standards for MPD-CZD, Sec. 6.7. pp. 6-54 through 6-63 <br />
