Attachment 4 <br />Because the UDO has been amended since these comments were made, referenced sections may be slightly off as some portions of the UDO have been <br />renumbered. <br />8 <br />Implementation Bridge - Future Phase Suggestions Planning Staff Comment <br />13.Rural Economic Development Area (REDA) regulations need to be <br />written. <br />A REDA conditional zoning district was adopted for the NC57/Speedway <br />area on June 5, 2012. Additional rural economic development areas are <br />not being contemplated at this time and are not supported by existing <br />small area plans. <br />14.Differentiate between urban and rural character -- applicable to <br />signage and subdivision impacts on transportation. <br />15. <br />Public notification requirements for public hearings and other <br />procedures that are more appropriate rural versus suburban <br />uses/districts (i.e., rural rezonings may require larger area of <br />notification). <br />Staff recommends that notification requirements remain as written as <br />rural rezonings do not have a greater area of immediate impact when <br />compared to suburban/urban rezonings. The County's notification <br />procedures comply with State statutes and include sign posting(s) and <br />newspaper advertisements in addition to mailed letters to property <br />owners within 500 feet of a parcel proposed for rezoning. <br />16.Cluster development standards for suburban versus rural <br />developments. <br />Users should keep in mind that it is difficult to cluster development that <br />is not located on public water and sewer systems (or community well and <br />package treatment systems; package treatment systems are not <br />currently permitted in rural areas of the county). <br />17.Need updated Airport Regulations. <br />18.Regulating adult entertainment uses and nuisance related events <br />at these uses. <br />19.Airport zoning, possibly as conditional zoning district. <br />20.Review telecommunications towers process.Staff considers this to be COMPLETED with the Telecom amendments <br />that were adopted on May 1, 2012. <br />21. <br />Section 2.5.3, No mention of lighting, natural areas inventory, solid <br />waste, or centralized recycling in requirements for information as <br />applications are submitted. Should be added. <br />22.Include hours of operation. Lighting comes to mind -- Section <br />5.14.2 (A) (1) <br />23.Add no fault well repair to requirements. <br />66
