11 <br /> UDO Amendment Packet Notes <br /> Planning staff was tasked with the following: <br /> Propose amendments to the UDO that will more strongly encourage <br /> quality, non-residential development in the EDDs while balancing any <br /> adverse impacts to adjacent properties and the environment. Ensure the <br /> amendments work within the overall framework of the UDO and how <br /> Orange County regulates development but do not propose changes to the <br /> Table of Permitted Uses (Section 5.2) at this time. <br /> The following amendment package seeks to achieve the stated task. Since the number <br /> of affected pages is rather extensive, staff has divided the proposed amendments into <br /> three basic, color-coded types: <br /> Green text: Clean-up or housekeeping types of amendments. Do not <br /> change existing regulations. <br /> Orange text: Minor amendments but more substantive than a <br /> "housekeeping" item. May change existing regulations slightly or may be <br /> a clai-ifying addition to the regulations. Some may have the potential to <br /> slightly change the way some people might interpret a regulation. <br /> Red text: Substantive change from existing regulations. <br /> With two exceptions, only pages of the UDO with a proposed change are included in the <br /> packet. One exception is where a page needed to be included in order to be clear <br /> about which section of the UDO was proposed for amendment. The other exception is <br /> the post-QPH addition of Section 6.5.1 in its entirety. Additionally, there is at least one <br /> instance where Word automatically broke a footnote across two pages, so if a footnote <br /> seems to end mid-sentence, please check the bottom of the next page. Please note <br /> that the page numbers in this amendment packet may or may not correspond to the <br /> page numbers in the adopted UDO because adding text may shift all of the text/sections <br /> downward. You are encouraged to review this amendment packet in the context of <br /> having your complete UDO available for referencing as needed. <br /> Every change has a footnote that provides a brief rationale or reason for the proposed <br /> change. <br />
