The workshop is also intended to review best practices and techniques toward providing various types of open space and <br /> natural areas. <br /> The workshop will be held on Wednesday, July 20, 2016 starting at 5:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. at the West Campus Office Building, <br /> 131 W Margaret Lane(Room 004-Basement Level) in Hillsborough. <br /> The Orange County Boar of Commissioners(BOCC) directed Planning staff to review the possible modification of existing <br /> subdivision development requirements and review processes in an effort to provide additional opportunities for the clustering of <br /> subdivision lots and preservation of open space. <br /> Current regulations categorize subdivision projects into 3 distinct types: <br /> 1. Standard Subdivision: Proposed lots comply with established minimum lot requirements with no common open space or <br /> grouping of lots. <br /> 2. Cluster Subdivision: Required lot sizes, area,and setbacks can be reduced if at least 20% of the gross land area of the subject <br /> property is designated as common open space; and <br /> 3. Flexible Development: Required lot sizes,area, and setbacks can be varied to accommodate on-site features, project design <br /> elements, and open space. Required lot sizes vary based on the amount of comMon open space. <br /> The goal of this project is to review and revise existing development standards in an effort to encourage purposeful growth and <br /> development within the County in a cost efficient manner, while promoting the perpetual maintenance/preservation of open space <br /> areas and allow for additional flexibility with respect to addressing required minimum lot sizes and wastewater collection/disposal. <br /> Planning staff intends to present the revisions to the BOCC for approval in late November 2016.
