Citizens can legally <br /> 36 challenge the viability of an ordinance that has been in place for 20 years if they have just moved to an area and, <br /> 37 therefore, never had standing to challenge. If I am a new resident to Orange County I can now challenge adopted <br /> 38 regulations within the prescribed period of time referenced within the Statute because I now have standing to do so. <br /> 39 <br /> 40 MOTION made by Lary Wright to approve staffs recommendation on page 204.
