See Attachment 2. <br />BACKGROUND: The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) was adopted by the BOCC April 5, <br />2011.

These proposed <br />amendments include only modifications to the uses permitted in the existing EDB -1 zoning district <br />and an abbreviated list of uses specifically excluded for consideration as a Conditional Use District <br />when proposed for those land use classifications in the County targeted for non - residential <br />development. <br />Please see analysis in Attachment 1 for more information. <br />Attachment 2 includes the proposed amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance shown in <br />red -line /strike- through format. <br />Ordinance Review Committee (ORC) Review <br />The Planning Board ORC reviewed the proposed Unified Development Ordinance amendments at <br />the January 4, 2012 meeting. The proposed text in Attachment 2 includes modifications made <br />based on comments received at the ORC. <br />Notification Procedural Requirements <br />Legal ads for the public hearing were placed in a newspaper of general circulation in the County <br />in accordance with Section 2.8.7 of the Unified Development Ordinance. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: See Attachment 1. <br />
