All flood areas(i.e. <br /> SFHA)are required to be left undisturbed and protected by open space areas(i.e. primary open space in a <br /> subdivision). Further we require all applicable data for a project located on a property encumbered by SFHA. As a <br /> result providing some exemption from the requirement based on acreage/number of units is inconsistent with <br /> established regulations. <br /> 45 This section is recommended for deletion given staff's recommendation to prohibit development of <br /> solid/hazardous waste management facilities, salvage/junk yards, and chemical storage facilities within a SFHA. <br /> From our standpoint allowing for same is inconsistent with the overall purpose and intent of the County's <br /> floodplain management program. <br /> Orange County, North Carolina—Unified Development Ordinance Page 6-157 <br />
