4 <br /> 2. Analysis <br /> As required under Section 2.8.5 of the UDO, the Planning Director is required to: <br /> `cause an analysis to be made of the application and, based upon that analysis, <br /> prepare a recommendation for consideration by the Planning Board and the Board of <br /> County Commissioners'. <br /> In order to bring the UDO into conformity with current state regulations concerning <br /> the water quality of stormwater within the Jordan Lake watershed, the Planning <br /> Director is proposing to initiate a text amendment to the stormwater management <br /> rules. The amendment proposes to: <br /> • Remove the Jordan Lake Watershed nutrient load rules and associated references. <br /> • Provide the Jordan Lake Watershed stormwater peak flow to trigger review for new <br /> development by pre-development and post-development peak flow analysis by the <br /> 10% Rule. <br /> Currently there are other nutrient rules in place in the UDO for other watersheds in <br /> Orange County (i.e. Falls Lake Watershed) which shall continue to be enforced in <br /> accordance with State regulations and recommendations. <br /> Additional analysis will be available as work on the proposed amendment <br /> commences. <br /> 3.
