Mr. Stephens wishes to <br /> make permanent an office mobile home which was installed on a <br /> temporary basis to assist placement of tenants on the park . In <br /> addition, he wishes to use an existing foundation (not shown on <br /> the site plan) submitted to public hearing and approved to <br /> erect a storage facility composed of individual cubicles for <br /> each mobile home unit. Both requests would increase the floor <br /> area for the planned development. <br /> Section 8.7. 1 of the Orange Zoning Ordinance states that an <br /> increase in usable floor area constitutes a modification to an <br /> approved planned development. Section 8.7 further states that <br /> The Zoning officer "shall not have the power to approve changes <br /> that constitute a modification" of the planned development <br /> special use permit. Section 8.7.2 provides that " If it is <br /> determined that the proposed action is a modification, the <br /> Zoning officer shall require the applicant to submit a request <br /> for modification of the approval special use permit . . . shall <br /> submit the request to the Board which approved the original <br /> application (and) the Board shall set a public hearing to <br /> receive testimony concerning the modification request." The <br /> Board shall subsequently approve, approve with conditions or <br /> disapprove the application for modification. <br />
