2 <br />2. Analysis <br />Changes to the LIDO are required to meet stormwater standards as dictated by the <br />state mandated Falls Lake and Jordan Lake rules. The state required that draft <br />ordinance changes to meet the rules be submitted for their review and approval. <br />Orange County's proposed changes were submitted to the state on August 4, 2011 <br />for Falls Lake and September 7, 2011 for Jordan Lake rules. The state approved <br />Orange County's Falls Lake new development program on January 12, 2012. The <br />Jordan Lake new development program is expected to be approved in March, 2012. <br />However, since the programs are essentially the same and Orange County is <br />addressing both in the UDO, staff is moving forward with adoption to meet the Falls <br />Lake Rules required timeline saving time and resources by not conducting the <br />process twice. <br />3.
