PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT PROGRAM <br />Mission/Scope: Public Hearing process consistent with NC State Statutes and <br />Orange County ordinance requirements <br /> <br />Commissioners has initiated a text amendment that would revise the existing public <br />hearing process. As a result of discussion at the September 7, 2017 Board of <br />County Commissioners (BOCC) Work Session, an text amendment to consider <br />revisions to the existing public hearing process is currently being prepared by County <br />staff for the November Quarterly Public Hearing. The proposed amendment will allow <br />land use hearings to occur at any regular BOCC meeting instead of current <br />standards which allow these items to be presented on a quarterly basis. No other <br />changes to the public hearing processes are being proposed. In addition, all items <br />requiring a public hearing will still allow for review by the Ordinance Review <br />Committee and recommendation from the Planning Board prior to the public hearing. <br />September 21, 2017 <br />September 12, 2017 <br />N/A <br /> 334
