127 Attachment 2 Amendment Package for "Agricultural Support Enterprises" Outside of the Rural Buffer Notes The pages that follow contain the amendments necessary to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) text and Comprehensive Plan text to adopt changes related to "Agricultural Support Enterprises," as it is applicable outside of the Rural Buffer land use classification. The changes are consistent with the general program that has been in development since 2001. A separate text amendment is available for Agricultural Support Enterprises (ASE) within the Rural Buffer. The text amendments are being proposed separately because an amendment is necessary to the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan and Agreement in order to apply the ASE program within the Rural Buffer land use classification. The required amendment is anticipated to occur during 2014 but County staff thought it would be prudent to separate the Rural Buffer information from the remainder of the county since the Rural Buffer portion is expected to be on a longer timeframe of review. The purpose of the ASE project is to augment allowable uses farmers throughout Orange County's planning jurisdiction can pursue in order to generate additional farm - related income and to potentially allow farming support /related uses in rural areas while minimizing any adverse impacts on adjoining property by applying special standards for specific uses and the development requirements in the County's LIDO for all projects. By better enabling farmers to stay in the business of farming, the rural, farming heritage of Orange County will continue to be preserved. Proposed additions /changes to existing text are depicted in red. Some of the proposed changes utilize footnotes to provide a brief explanation as to rationale. Users are reminded that these excerpts are part of a much larger document (the UDO) that regulates land use and development in Orange County. The full LIDO is available online at: http: / /orangecountync.gov /planning /Ordinances.asp Please note that the page numbers in this amendment packet may or may not necessarily correspond to the page numbers in the adopted LIDO because adding text may shift all of the text /sections downward. Some text on the following pages has a large "X" through it to denote that these sections are not part of the amendments under consideration. The text is shown only because in the full UDO it is on the same page as text proposed for amendment. Text with a large "X" is not proposed for deletion; proposed deletions are shown in striketh„=ough text.
