12 <br /> Attachment 3 <br /> STATEMENT OF APPROVAL AND CONSISTENCY <br /> OF A PROPOSED UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT <br /> WITH THE ADOPTED ORANGE COUNTY 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <br /> Orange County has initiated an amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance <br /> (UDO) eliminating existing regulations associated with the enforcement of nutrient/water <br /> quality regulations within the Jordan Lake Watershed as well as updating existing references <br /> to State agencies and regulations consistent with State law. <br /> The Board of County Commissioners hereby approves the proposed text amendment <br /> and finds: <br /> a. The requirements of Section 2.8 of the UDO have been deemed complete; and, <br /> b. Pursuant to Sections 1.1.5, and 1.1.7 of the UDO and to Section 153A-341 of the <br /> North Carolina General Statutes, the Board finds sufficient documentation within <br /> the record denoting that the amendment is consistent with the adopted 2030 <br /> Comprehensive Plan. <br /> 1. The amendment is consistent with applicable plans because it supports the <br /> following 2030 Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives: <br /> • Land Use Goal 6 — A land use planning process that is transparent, <br /> fair, open, efficient, and responsive. <br /> These amendments are consistent with this goal and <br /> objective by eliminating regulations the County is no longer <br /> able to enforce based on current State law. <br /> c. The amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it: <br /> 1. Ensures legal sufficiency by eliminating regulatory requirements that are <br /> unenforceable at this time. <br /> These amendments ensure uniformity by eliminating references to <br /> regulations the State has delayed the implementation of. <br /> 2. Ensures legal sufficiency by updating references to various State agencies <br /> and programs. <br /> This amendment updates existing references to State agencies and <br /> development requirements thereby eliminating confusion for the <br /> reader. <br /> The Board of County Commissioners hereby adopts this Statement of Consistency and <br /> findings expressed herein. <br /> Penny Rich, Chair Date <br />
