ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />AND <br />PLANNING BOARD <br />PUBLIC HEARING AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: November 20, 2006 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No, C.4 <br />SUBJECT• Proposed Stream Buffer Zoning :Text Amendments <br />DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: (YIN) Yes <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />1. Proposed Ordinance changes with <br />strike and delete highlights (pages A- <br />1 through A-14) <br />2. Graphic examples of existing <br />regulations and proposed <br />amendments. (pages B-1 through <br />B-6) <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Name Phone Number <br />Craig Benedict, Director 245-2592 <br />Robert P Davis, Planner III 245-2580 <br />Michael D. Harvey, Planner II 245-2607 <br />Ren Ivies, Erosion Control 245-0758 <br />PURPOSE: To consider staff initiated zoning text amendments to Section 6.23.7 through <br />Section 6.24.1 Stream Buffers of the Orange County Zoning Ordinance. <br />BACKGROUND: For the past few months, staff has. been reviewing the need to develop a <br />comprehensive planting standard to require individuals to re-establish a required buffer in the <br />event it has been disturbed. Staff has also been reviewing the need to. modify the types of uses <br />allowed within protected stream buffers, along with appropriate mitigation standards, that are <br />consistent with existing North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) standards.. <br />REQUEST: Staff recommends amending the existing Stream Buffer regulations to address the <br />following issues: <br />1. There is a lack of uniform, comprehensive, planting and mitigation standards for a <br />property owner to adhere to in situations where they either illegally disturb the required <br />stream buffer or propose to develop a parcel of property where required stream buffers <br />do not exist and need to be re-established, <br />2. There is currently a lack of appropriate mitigation standards designed to offset or <br />minimize the impact of encroachment into a required stream buffer, as currently <br />permitted under Section 6.23.7 (b), <br />3. There is currently no flexibility within the Ordinance allowing for minor encroachment into <br />the required stream buffer for noninvasive, passive, uses of property, and <br />4. There is currently no effective way to work with a property owner to address changes in <br />the location and size of a stream buffer resulting in a change in the FEMA Flood maps.' <br />CiCd.'ornpreheusir: C~I;~nuin; Dir;C~t;Nt':^4i~t: FnL•lir fla:arinf~s..N~;~ .':.0 QPIT'•l,rezx~u T4u12'er'Pi~xi. ~~u1t1C1.u:Ertcrir f'ublir. 7i~aring ~i},~~uact > N~~~ tlii.lJ~)C. <br />
