However,as a <br /> result of comments made at the public hearing,the notification boundary is proposed to be expanded from 500 <br /> feet to 1,000 feet for other types of actions so staff is suggesting the increase in this section as well so that <br /> notification distances will be consistent. Mailing notices via first class mail rather than via certified mail is being <br /> suggested in order to keep costs lower. <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 2-37 <br />
