Form Revised 09-29-16 <br /> <br /> <br />2. Analysis <br />As required under Section 2.8.5 of the UDO, the Planning Director is required to: <br />‘cause an analysis to be made of the application and, based upon that analysis, <br />prepare a recommendation for consideration by the Planning Board and the Board of <br />County Commissioners’. <br /> <br />In order to bring the UDO into conformity with current state regulations concerning <br />the water quality of stormwater within the Jordan Lake watershed, the Planning <br />Director is proposing to initiate a text amendment to the stormwater management <br />rules. The amendment proposes to: <br />• Remove the Jordan Lake Watershed nutrient load rules and associated references. <br />• Provide the Jordan Lake Watershed stormwater peak flow to trigger review for new <br />development by pre-development and post-development peak flow analysis by the <br />10% Rule. <br />Currently there are other nutrient rules in place in the UDO for other watersheds in <br />Orange County (i.e. Falls Lake Watershed) which shall continue to be enforced in <br />accordance with State regulations and recommendations. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />3.
