McGuire <br />Cc: Craig Benedict; Ashley E.. Moncado; Christina Moon; ( gpoveromo (abtownofchapelhill.ora) <br />Subject: UDO Text Amendment that Applies to the Rural Buffer - Home Occupation Standards <br />Hello JB and Trish, <br />Pursuant to the JPA Agreement, we are sending the attached proposed UDO text amendment to you <br />for review and comment. We are proposing to change the existing standards for Home Occupations <br />allowed in the residential zoning districts, including the RB (Rural Buffer) zoning district. We-are also <br />proposing to have a category of "Minor Home Occupation" and "Major Home Occupation" (we <br />currently do not have two classes of Home Occupations). Major Home Occupations will not be <br />allowed in the Rural Buffer; only Minor Home Occupations would be allowed in the RB. <br />I have also attached a chart you may find helpful that depicts the existing and proposed standards. <br />This chart is not part of the actual amendments; it's just used for informational purposes. <br />These text changes are on the November 25 quarterly public hearing agenda. It would be great if <br />you could forward any comments to us before the 25th. If you need more time than that to review <br />this item, please let me know. The JPA Agreement stipulates that the County will not adopt an <br />amendment affecting the RB until the Towns have had 30 days to review and comment on the <br />amendment. This amendment is scheduled for adoption consideration in January. <br />Thanks and please let me know if you have any questions. <br />Perdita <br />Perdita Holtz, AICP <br />Planning Systems Coordinator <br />Orange County (NC) Planning Department <br />131 W.
