FISCAL IMPACT <br />Modification of existing language will not require the outlay of additional funds by the <br />County.

The Orange County Fee Schedule will need to be amended to <br />incorporate these costs. <br />There will also be an increase in staff workload with respect to preparing, sending out <br />notices, and staffing the NIM potentially impacting Departmental budgetary outlays. <br /> <br />D. AMENDMENT IMPLICATIONS <br /> <br />The amendments are in response to concerns related to the processing of SUP <br />applications, specifically a lack of advance notification to local property owners/residents <br />of the project. These amendments are designed to promote additional notification of a <br />SUP project in advance of a scheduled public hearing and provide an opportunity for <br />local residents to comment on a project as well as receive an explanation on the SUP <br />review process. <br /> <br />As previously indicated the application submittal deadline will have to be increased to <br />accommodate a NIM being held 45 days prior to a public hearing. <br /> <br />E.
