Road Classification <br /> The proposed amendment is an update of Orange County functional road <br /> classifications. The amendments are needed for the following reasons: the <br /> maps in the Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Pan depict <br /> planned roads that are not planned anymore; some of the current functional <br /> classifications are not referenced by other adopted plans and ordinances; the <br /> existing classifications have been applied to every road in the County, <br /> making it difficult to identify the most important roads; and the Board of <br /> Commissioners has directed that all references to the planned NC 751 <br /> Connector Road be deleted from all adopted plans in Orange County. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the attached advertisement for <br /> the November 24, 1997 quarterly public hearing. <br />
