Jacobs, owners of a 9.8 acre parcel of property within Orange County, has initiated an <br />amendment to the Orange County Zoning Atlas, as established in Section 1.2 of the Orange <br />County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) to rezone property: <br /> <br />FROM: Economic Development Eno Lower Intensity (EDE-1), Economic <br />Development Eno Higher Intensity (EDE-2), Lower Eno Protected <br />Watershed Protection Overlay District, and Major Transportation Corridor <br />(MTC) Overlay District <br />TO: Economic Development Eno Higher Intensity (EDE-2), Lower Eno <br />Protected Watershed Protection Overlay District, and Major Transportation <br />Corridor (MTC) Overlay District <br />allowing for the continued development and expansion of an existing commercial facility known as <br />Jacobs Glass Company.

Objective LU-1.1: Coordinate the location of higher intensity / high density <br />residential and non-residential development with existing or planned locations of <br />public transportation, commercial and community services, and adequate <br />supporting infrastructure (i.e., water and sewer, high-speed internet access, <br />streets, and sidewalks), while avoiding areas with protected natural and cultural <br />resources. <br /> 16
