ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: August 21, 2007 <br />Action Agen a <br />Item No. <br />SUBJECT: Land-Use Element Text Amendment - 10-Year Transition Areas <br />DEPARTMENT: Planning Department PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) NO <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />1. Proposed Land Use Element Text <br />Amendments <br />2. Map Depicting 10-Year Transition Areas in <br />the County <br />3. Excerpt of July 11, 2007 Planning Board <br />Minutes <br />4. Memo from Staff Regarding Effect of <br />Proposed Amendment on Areas Outside <br />of the Efland 10-Year Transition Area <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Craig Benedict, Director, (919) 245-2592 <br />Perdita Holtz, Special Projects Planner, <br />(919) 245-2611 <br />PURPOSE: To consider adoption of text amendments to the Land Use Element regarding 10- <br />YearTransition areas, as presented at the May 21, 2007 Quarterly Public Hearing. <br />BACKGROUND: The existing Land Use Element definition for 10-Year Transition areas does <br />not allow for non-residential uses in the transition areas (see attached map for location of the <br />10-Year Transition areas within Orange County).

These types of uses are not permitted under the existing land use definition. <br />The proposed text amendment would amend the definition of the "10-Year Transition" category <br />in Section 3.3 to potentially allow non-residential uses in designated 10-Year Transition areas in <br />accordance with adopted small area plans and/or zoning overlay districts. (See attachment for <br />the existing and proposed definitions). Additionally, the Land Use Element's "Zoning District <br />Matrix" in Section 4.0 would be amended to designate appropriate zoning districts for the 10- <br />YearTransition areas. <br />The proposed amendments are consistent with the recommendations contained in the adopted <br />EMSAP. The amended text would also apply to the 10-Year Transition Areas in the vicinity of <br />Hillsborough. However, the definition requires that non-residential uses would be permitted only <br />in accordance with adopted small areas plans and/or zoning overlay districts. Therefore, until <br />such time that these actions are completed for a specific 10-Year Transition area, applications <br />
