Ac ti ' ies that <br /> do not constitute a subdivision are found in Section 7.2 1. <br /> 10 Simple majority vote is now all that is necessary to approve a SUP or act on an appeal. <br /> 11 State law now allows for individuals to petition the Board of Adjustment requesting notification of any decision. <br /> We are incorporating this allowance with the proposed modification. <br /> 12 Staff sends out notice of decisions via certified mail. State law was modified to allow for first-class mail to be <br /> utilized. We are not recommending changing our current procedure as we believe sending decisions via certified <br /> mail ensures we have a record of our actions. <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 2-39 <br />
