204 DRAFT 427 428 Tommy McNeill: I am comfortable with the UDO as it stands today. What fascinates me is the assistance that the planning 429 department agreed to provide for the citizens of Orange County who have questions about the document and the process. 430 431 Rachel Hawkins: I'm comfortable with it, I agree with Tommy, I think it will become a very uniform manual when all the changes 432 are incorporated. I like it, I especially like what you can and can't do in the districts. 433 434 Larry Wright: I do want the staff to give a brief response to the overall comments here before we bring this to a vote. 435 436 Craig Benedict: I think that the major effort was that organizational project. I think we have tools in the previous code that were 437 unclear. I think this rendition of Conditional Use, Conditional Zoning and our explanation of General Use, I think offers the 438 County some different rules to handle and condition growth for the future. We're not going to necessarily choose, this will be an 439 opportunity for the property owners to request a lot of these Conditional Zoning Districts. I think it is a good tool that hasn't been 440 used much in the past and could offer the Commissioners another mechanism to guide growth with agreed upon conditions. I do 441 see a lot of work in phase two but before you can ever get to phase two, you've got to finish phase one. My staff understands 442 very clearly this isn't a perfect document, that this is an honorable document that was put together and 9 out of 10 times they got 443 rid of the vagueness, the ambiguities, and conflicting areas. 444 445 Larry Wright: I would like to entertain a motion and in that motion you may want to consider wording that our understanding as 446 we know this section and these sections that under which this topic throughout this whole UDO is covered, our understanding 447 and with the presentations and documentations that were presented to us. You may want a condition or you may want to word 448 your motion in that measure because we have 842 pages here and a lot of it references these sections. I think that in 449 formulating a motion you may want to incorporate some of those caveats. 450 451 Mark Marcoplos: I'm ready to make a motion. 452 453 Larry Wright: Ok, go ahead. 454 455 MOTIONS: Mark Marcoplos made a motion that the Planning Board believes the UDO has reached a reasonable level of 456 perfection at this time and the Board is comfortable with the state of the UDO as it pertains to the zoning issues. 457 458 Pete Hallenbeck: I'm thinking you say at this time, I'd be a little more comfortable if you referenced the one and two phase. Say 459 comfortable with the document as it relates to phase one. Part of why I want to do that is to make it very clear that we do look 460 forward to coming back later in phase two and adjusting things. Instead of at this time, I'd say for phase one. 461 462 Larry Wright: I would like to make a friendly amendment to this motion. To add that we're comfortable with it, I think that you 463 used those words, as presented to us within the time limit we've had to study it. 464 465 Mark Marcoplos: I take a leave on that, it's all implied. 466 467 Larry Wright: I'm going to vote against it if it's not in there. 468 469 Mark Marcoplos: That's fine too, I'm okay with that, we're basically saying that. 470 471 Larry Wright: I want that in there. 472 473 Mark Marcoplos: Its in a pretty good state, we're at the end of phase one, were comfortable with moving it on down the line. 474 475 Alan Campbell: Are we just voting on the part that deals with conditional use, is there another vote later on for the whole thing? 476 477 Larry Wright: This is the January 5 meeting, its all that was in the January 5 meeting. Thank you for clarifying that. 478 479 MOTION: Mark Marcoplos made a motion to affirm that the zoning section of the LIDO as discussed is at a reasonable level of 480 perfection in phase one and the Board is comfortable with the state of that section of the UDO. Seconded Alan Campbell. 481 VOTE: 6 -2 (Wright, Becker opposed) 482 483 May Becker: I would like to voice my concerns regarding the Conditional Zoning as I talked about earlier in the meeting and also 484 concerns about not having as Larry pointed out, spent the time on some of these larger issues to really understand what the 485 effects are. I don't know if it's the appropriate time to bring this up but in terms of storm water and that whole section, I feel that 486 we haven't really addressed that and it's related to zoning, its also related to stream buffers, it's related to the whole thing and to 487 pass something quickly when I feel when we look at how much more we know now about Conditional Use and Conditional L
