6 6-g: Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) Text Amendments - Subdivision Regulations and Processes The Board considered action on Planning Director initiated text amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) modifying subdivision regulations, including modifications made to address BOCC comments made at the November 21, 2016 Quarterly Public Hearing. Commissioner Price referred to Item 7, on digital page 180, and asked for clarification of the time period for approval in "5 above." She also asked if section 7 relates to approvals for all applications. Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor, said there is a shelf life for plan approvals, and if filing is not completed within allotted time period then the approval expires. He said there is an option to apply for an extension. Commissioner Price said the agenda item references under item 7 "the time period in 5 above" and she cannot locate 5 above. Commissioner Price said the paperwork references a section that is not there. She asked if section 7 relates to approval for all applications. Michael Harvey said yes, it relates to concept plan approval for minor subdivisions, and a different section covers major subdivisions. Commissioner Price referred to the rural buffer, and changes in the lot sizes, and she asked if the Town of Chapel Hill has seen and approved these changes. Michael Harvey said it is consistent with the joint planning/land use planning land agreement. He said the Town has seen these changes, and the minimum lot being quoted here is memorialized in the 1986 document, which has been enforced since that time, and adopted by the Towns of Chapel Hill and Carrboro, as well Orange County. Chair Dorosin asked if the reference to "5 above" is a typo. Michael Harvey said to the motion could be to approve modifying section 2.14.2, subsection c, number 7 to read "any plan or portion thereof not receiving final plat approval within the time period as allotted herein shall be null and void except under the following conditions". A motion was made by Commissioner Price, seconded by Commissioner Burroughs to approve the amended language change.
