6 <br /> <br />impervious surface. He said this is a step forward in addressing some overly onerous <br />regulations on some subdivision lots. He pulled this item to petition the Board to direct staff to <br />bring back an abstract item in the fall that will take a more comprehensive look at impervious <br />surface standards and percentages, as applied to small lots in Orange County. <br />Commissioner Jacobs asked Michael Harvey, Current Planning, if the Board is to <br />assume that the statement about the ability to transfer impervious surface from one adjacent <br />parcel to another is the sum total of the regulation, or if there will be more detail in the future. <br />Michael Harvey said staff is in the process of writing the ordinance, and it is staff’s <br />position that this ordinance seeks to do two things: 1.) Clarify processes for subdivisions that <br />were platted and developed prior to the County adopting countywide watershed management <br />strategies and policies; and 2.) There is an existing allowance that permits the transfer of <br />impervious surface from parcels that are adjacent to one another, which staff believes to be <br />unnecessarily limiting, and transfer should be allowed between parcels in the same watershed. <br />He said staff will be proposing caps on how much impervious surface can be transferred, <br />because staff does not want to make property undevelopable, because it has transferred too <br />much impervious surface to another parcel; and to avoid a parcel having more impervious <br />surface than it can handle from a storm water management standpoint. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner McKee, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs to <br />approve the process components and schedule for proposed amendments to the Orange <br />County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). <br /> <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> <br />8-e: Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance – Approval and Certification of 2018 <br />Report <br />The Board considered approving and certifying the 2018 Schools Adequate Public <br />Facilities Ordinance Technical Advisory Committee (SAPFOTAC) Report and certifying portions <br />of the Report. <br /> <br />Commissioner Rich said it looks like no one pulled this item, and she mistakenly pulled it <br />out. <br /> <br />A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Burroughs to <br />approve and certify the 2018 Schools Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance Technical Advisory <br />Committee (SAPFOTAC) Report and certify portions of the Report. <br /> <br />VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> <br />a.
