9 <br />The draft MTP Map is available on the Planning Department's web site at <br />http://www.co.orange.nc.us/planning/index.asp. There are currently ten proposed <br />properties located on the MTP Map. Current owners may make a request to have <br />their properties added to the map by submitting a formal application to the Planning <br />Department. All applications require apre-application meeting. Submittal of requisite <br />technical design plans is necessary before an application is found to be complete. <br />The proposed MTP Map identifies potential location(s) for telecommunications <br />facilities including locations that serve, or may be required to serve, the public safety <br />and information technology telecommunications network. <br />Approval of the MTP Map only pre-identifies potential telecommunication sites. It <br />does not formally approve a specific application for the shown properties allowing for <br />the development of telecommunication towers nor does it exempt providers from <br />obtaining all required permit approvals consistent with the Orange County Zoning <br />Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance may or may not require the issuance of a special <br />use permit. Towers 150 feet in height or less on County property, irrespective of <br />being included on the MTP Map, are approved administratively rather than requiring <br />a Class B Special Use Permit, as per section 6.18.1. Private sites, to be eligible for <br />administrative approval, must be less than 150 feet in height and either lease the <br />tower to the public for public safety purposes or allow the public to collocate antennas <br />on the tower at no charge. <br />No formal applications proposing the development of telecommunication facilities <br />have been received or will be approved through this scheduled public hearing. <br />Purpose:- To review the item and receive citizen comment on the Master <br />Telecommunications Plan Map. <br />3. Zoning Ordinance or Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text <br />Amendment: In accordance with Article Twenty (20) of the Orange County <br />Zoning Ordinance (Section 2.8 of the proposed UDO), Mr. Ben Lloyd has <br />submitted a zoning text amendment petition to amend Section 4.3 Table of <br />Permitted Uses of the Zoning Ordinance (Section 5.2 of the UDO) modifying the <br />Motor Vehicle Sales & Rental (New and Used) use category to allow the sale and <br />rental of motor vehicles in the Neighborhood Commercial Two (NC-2) zoning <br />district as a permitted use. <br />Within his application, Mr. Lloyd is proposing to cap the allowable number of <br />automobiles displayed/stored on NC-2 zoned property to twelve (12). <br />If approved, the proposed text amendment will be incorporated into either <br />Section 4.3 Table of Permitted Uses of the Zoning Ordinance or Section 5.2 <br />Table of Permitted Uses of the UDO (whichever document is in effect at the time <br />of approval). <br />Purpose: To review the item and receive citizen comment on the proposed text <br />amendment. <br />Accommodations for individuals with physical disabilities can be provided if the request <br />is made to the Director of Planning at least 48 hours prior to the Public Hearing by <br />calling the one of the phone numbers below. The full text of the public hearing items <br />may be obtained after February 18, 2011 from the Planning Department (Note: the <br />2 <br />
