1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: October 2, 2012 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 5-e <br /> SUBJECT: Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance Amendment <br /> Outline/Schedule for UDO Text Amendments Suggested by MuniCode <br /> DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Perdita Holtz, Planning Systems Coordinator, <br /> Ordinance Amendment Outline Form 245-2578 <br /> (UDO/Zoning-2012-15) Craig Benedict, Director, 245-2592 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider and approve the process components and schedule for minor <br /> "housekeeping" amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) text, currently <br /> scheduled for the November 19, 2012 Quarterly Public Hearing. <br /> BACKGROUND: As part of the codification process, MuniCode, a corporation retained by <br /> Orange County to codify the County's ordinances, has completed a legal review of the UDO. As <br /> a result, MuniCode has suggested a number of corrections/updates to State statute/rule <br /> references. The changes are not substantive, but the text amendments must go through the <br /> normal amendment process since the UDO does not allow for manifest errors to be corrected <br /> without a formal amendment. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Please refer to Section C.3 of Attachment. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board approve the attached <br /> Amendment Outline form and direct staff to proceed accordingly. <br />
