These efforts were, ultimately, abandoned. <br />At that time staff and residents identified a need to revise existing regulations <br />governing the development • airports. Work • this issue was delayed while other <br />priority UDO amendments were pursued. <br />With this text amendment, staff is proposing to create a new Conditional Zoning District <br />allowing for the development of an airport. This would require the Board of Orange <br />County Commissioners (BOCC) to act on a petition to amend the zoning atlas to create <br />a new airport district. <br />VY' <br />tgrelrAris M. <br />Planning staff will hold two information sessions to solicit public comment on the <br />'oroperty. These sessions will be held at the West Campus Office building at 131 West <br />Margaret Lane in Hillsborough on the following dates: <br />* Thursday December 17, from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. <br />* Monday December 21, from 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. <br />For more information, please contact the Orange County Planning & Inspection5 <br />Department at 919.245.2575. <br />
