The amendment will require the NIM <br />to be held a minimum of 14 days prior to the Planning Board meeting where the project is going to be discussed. <br />This will, hopefully, allow for sufficient time for all concerned parties to prepare to discuss the project at the <br />Planning Board meeting. <br />3 As a reminder Class B Special Use Permits are reviewed /acted upon by the Board of Adjustment with no <br />review /recommendation by the Planning Board. <br />Orange County, North Carolina o Unified Development Ordinance Page 2 -21 <br />
