3 <br />made a presentation to the Town on January 18. Written comments from municipalities were <br />requested by 5:00 p.m. on February 2, 2011. To date, no written comments have been <br />received. <br />A public outreach meeting was held on January 27, 2011 in the Lower Level Conference Room <br />of the Orange County West Campus Office Building. The meeting began at approximately 6:30 <br />p.m. and, although it was scheduled to end at 8:00 p.m., the meeting wrapped up closer to 8:30 <br />p.m. Approximately 30 people attended the meeting, including Commissioners Steve Yuhasz <br />and Earl McKee. Staff explained various aspects of the UDO, the process that has been <br />followed, current zoning and development processes, and the conditional districts which are <br />included in the draft UDO as a replacement to the existing Planned Development provisions in <br />the current Zoning Ordinance. <br />Continued Public Hearing <br />The public hearing on the UDO has been continued to February 28, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. The <br />continued public hearing will be held at the Department of Social Services meeting room (113 <br />Mayo Street in Hillsborough). Agenda packets for the February 28 public hearing will be <br />available on February 18, 2011. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact in receiving the report. Regarding the overall <br />project, the BOCC provided $32,600 in the 2009-2010 budget, Departmental Contract Services <br />Account, to complete this BOCC priority. The costs of consulting services, as outlined in the <br />executed contract, are not to exceed $30,000. The additional $2,600 was budgeted for <br />advertising, copying and printing expenses. Monies were not carried forward from the previous <br />budget, so staff is working with Financial Services to accommodate this multi-year BOCC <br />priority. Advertising, copying and printing expenses have exceeded $2,600 but in the interim <br />have been paid using general Planning Department budgeted funds for these types of activities. <br />Additionally, Planning staff time on the project has been significant. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board receive the report. <br />
