Environmental Impact Ordinance which would be free-standing as part of,the <br /> County Code. Our review and comment is being solicited by the County as required <br /> under Section 2.6 B of the Joint Planning Agreement between the Towns and the <br /> County. That portion of the Agreement requires that all proposed changes to the <br /> County's ordinances that are applicable within the Rural Buffer areas that are part <br /> of the Joint Planning Area shall be referred to Carrboro and Chapel Hill for review, <br /> and that the towns shall have thirty (30) days in which to comment. <br /> We received notification of the proposed changes on January 25, and the County has <br /> scheduled its public hearing on the ordinance amendments for February 27, 1989. <br /> As of today,the Environmental Impact Ordinance is still being revised by the <br /> County's Ordinance Review Committee,so the draft included here is not the final <br /> draft, but is the only version we have to make our comments from. <br /> Aside from the EIS Ordinance, the County is proposing four text amendments to its <br /> • Zoning Ordinance and one text amendment to its Subdivision Ordinance. Briefly, the <br /> changes include: , <br /> Orange County Zoning Ordinance <br /> • <br /> 1) Changes to the County's Public Interest District (P ID)zone to enable the County <br /> to rezone portions of Duke Forest in accordance with Dv.ke-University's Report and <br /> Recommendations of the Land Resources Committee; <br /> 2) Changes to the size limits for Mobile Home Planned Developments; <br /> 3) Changes to the Permitted Use Table and Definitions to permit breeding kennels <br /> • and wildlife rehabilitation centers in zoned areas of the County; <br /> 4) Changes to the Permitted Use Table categories dealing with retail trade. <br /> • • <br /> 1 • <br /> • <br />
