2 <br /> 3. Confusion. The County essentially has two UDOs, the UDO maintained by Municode, <br /> which, as mentioned above and through no fault of Municode, is often months behind the <br /> actual amended version, and the UDO maintained by the planning department, which is <br /> generally fully updated and available for public inspection within days of each <br /> amendment. Having two different versions of the same document available to the public <br /> can create substantial confusion for individuals who need to reference the ordinance, <br /> particularly when the unofficial version is more up-to-date. <br /> For these reasons it may be best to republish the UDO as the Code of Technical Ordinances of <br /> Orange County, North Carolina and return maintenance to the Planning Department. To avoid <br /> confusion the technical ordinances could and would still be called the UDO in general <br /> discussion. <br /> In an effort to conserve paper and prevent the unnecessary expenditure of tax dollars, the UDO <br /> is not included in this abstract. It may, however, be viewed at the Orange County Planning <br /> Department located at 131 West Margaret Lane, Suite 201 Hillsborough, NC and online at <br /> ht fordinances.php. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: A version of the UDO is currently maintained by Municode. Returning <br /> this maintenance solely to the County will result in direct cost savings of between $15,000 and <br /> $20,000 annually. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: There is no social justice goal associated with this item. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board adopt and authorize the Chair <br /> to sign the attached Resolution of republication and create the Code of Technical Ordinances of <br /> Orange County, North Carolina to be housed and maintained in the Orange County Planning <br /> Department and made available at <br /> http:ffwww.oranpecountync.pov/depggM,gntsfplanninp and inspection s/ordinances.php. <br />
