Orange County adopted ASE uses for <br /> the Rural Buffer on May 5, 2015. <br /> To date, there have been no applications for the conditional zoning district (ASE-CZ) <br /> anywhere in the county, including in the Rural Buffer. Additionally, although there have <br /> been inquiries (only for parcels outside of the Rural Buffer), no applications for by-right <br /> ASE-related uses have been submitted. <br /> Orange County staff will provide the next update on this topic for the 2017 Assembly of <br /> Governments meeting. <br />
