39 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br /> AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: May 22, 1989 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item #1)-2-b <br /> SUBJECT: LUP-8-89 TEXT AMENDMENTS TO LAND USE ELEMENT <br /> DEPARTMENT: Planning PUBLIC HEARING: _X_Yes No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S) : INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> David Stancil - Extension 566 <br /> - Executive Summary of proposed <br /> text amendments <br /> - Proposed Text Changes TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br /> (Separate enclosure) Hillsborough - 732-8181 <br /> Durham - 688-7331 <br /> Mebane - 227-2031 <br /> Chapel Hill - 967-9251 <br /> PURPOSE: To receive public comment on proposed text amendments <br /> to the Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan was <br /> adopted by the Orange County Board of Commissioners on <br /> September 2, 1981. Since that time, a number of <br /> amendments have been approved to both the Land Use <br /> Plan Maps and the text of the individual Township <br /> Components of the Land Use Element. <br /> However, a number of sections in the document dealing <br /> with the County as a whole have not been updated <br /> during the past eight years. This amendment is geared <br /> specifically to rectify this situation. The updates to <br /> the text proposed by staff do not deal with policy or <br /> procedural changes. <br /> Specifically, the sections of the Land Use Element <br /> that this amendment would update are as follows: <br /> Section 2.0, County-Wide Profile. This section <br /> contains subsections dealing with issues such as <br /> natural environment, water resources, and population <br /> projections that have changed considerably since the <br /> 1981 writing. <br /> Section 3.0-3.5, Land Use Plan. Only those <br /> sections that are in need of revision due to changed <br /> conditions will be dealt with here. <br />
