1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: November 1, 2016 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. 6-e <br /> SUBJECT: Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Amendment Outline Form and <br /> Schedule for Proposed Text Amendment — Tables of Permitted Uses <br /> DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> 1. Amendment Outline for Modifications to Michael Harvey, Planner III, (919) 245-2597 <br /> the Table of Permitted Uses Craig Benedict, Director, (919) 245-2585 <br /> (UDO/Zoning 2016-05) <br /> PURPOSE: To consider and approve revised process components and schedules for a <br /> Planning Director initiated Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) text amendment. <br /> BACKGROUND: At its May 5, 2016 regular meeting the BOCC approved an amendment <br /> outline schedule related to proposed revisions to the existing tables of permitted uses. The <br /> amendments are proposed in response to the Byrd v. Franklin County judicial decision. After <br /> recent conversations with the Attorney's office, as well as work on current text amendments, the <br /> components and schedule for this project need to be modified. <br /> Staff is resubmitting the amendment outline form for the BOCC to review and approve the <br /> revised scope and schedule. In response to comments by the Attorney's office, staff is now <br /> suggesting use of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) land use <br /> classification system throughout the Tables of Permitted Uses. Because of this, staff <br /> anticipates the need for work sessions with the BOCC and Planning Board to review the <br /> particulars of the NAICS code, discuss the expansion of various land use categories, and <br /> review options with respect to the `status' (i.e. permitted or prohibited) of various land uses. <br /> Please refer to Attachment 1 for more information. <br /> As with all text amendments there is an internal staff review/comment period of proposed <br /> language in accordance with the provisions of Section 1.9 Development Advisory Committee of <br /> the UDO, which includes multiple Departments (i.e. Environment, Agriculture, Parks & <br /> Recreation (DEAPR), Solid Waste, the County Attorney's office, etc.). <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Consideration and approval will not create the need for additional <br /> funding for the provision of County services. Costs for the required legal advertisement will be <br /> paid from FY2016-17 Departmental funds budgeted for this purpose. Existing Planning staff <br /> included in the Departmental staffing budget will accomplish the work required to process these <br /> amendments. <br />
