4 Approval of the MTP Map only pre-identifies potential telecommunication sites. It does not formally approve a specific application for the shown properties allowing for the development of telecommunication towers nor does it exempt providers from obtaining all required permit approvals consistent with the Orange County Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance mayor may not require the issuance of a special use permit. For towers 150 feet in height or less on County property irrespective of being included on the MTP Map means that the towers are approved administratively rather than requiring a Class B Special Use Permit, as per section 6.18.1. Private sites, to be eligible for administrative approval, must be less than 150 feet in height and either lease the tower to the public for public safety purposes or allow the public to collocate antennas on the tower at no charge No formal applications proposing the development of telecommunication facilities have been received or will be approved through this scheduled public hearing. Purpose: To review the item and receive citizen comment on the Master Telecommunications Plan Map. 3. Zoning Ordinance or Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendment: In accordance with Article Twenty (20) of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance (Section 2.8 of the proposed UDO), Mr. Ben Lloyd has submitted a zoning text amendment petition to amend Section 4.3 Table of Permitted Uses of the Zoning Ordinance (Section 5.2 of the UDO) modifying the Motor Vehicle Sales & Rental (New and Used) use category to allow the sale and rental of motor vehicles in the Neighborhood Commercial Two (NC-2) zoning district as a permitted use. Within his application, Mr. Lloyd is proposing to cap the allowable number of automobiles displayed/stored on NC-2 zoned property to twelve (12). If approved, the proposed text amendment will be incorporated into either Section 4.3 Table of Permitted Uses of the Zoning Ordinance or Section 5.2 Table of Permitted Uses of the UDO (whichever document is in effect at the time of approval).
