4 <br /> including 7-a, 7-b and 7-c) which includes the language within Section(s) 2.10.3, 2.11.3, and <br /> 5.3.2 establishing a `burden of persuasion'. Staff is recommending keeping language, as <br /> recommended by the County Attorney, concerning the `burden of persuasion' in Section(s) <br /> 2.10.3, 2.11.3, and 5.3.2. <br /> The Director believes the language is necessary to ensure the legal sufficiency of the UDO, as <br /> indicated by the County Attorney, by spelling out an applicant's obligations when applying for a <br /> variance, interpretation, and special use permit. <br /> It should be noted that Attachment 7 consists of three parts, with Attachments 7-a and 7-b <br /> attached to this abstract and also available electronically at: <br /> http://www.orangecountync.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7012. <br /> Attachment 7-c containing the Strikethrough/Delete/Underlined/ Highlighted Text <br /> Amendments pages from the UDO is only available electronically at <br /> http://www.orangecountvnc.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7012. <br /> In addition, as noted in the Public Hearing Notice (Attachment 1), the full text of the <br /> amendments pages and other information has been available from the Orange County Planning <br /> Department. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to <br /> this item: <br /> • GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES <br /> The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes <br /> and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of <br /> environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions. Fair treatment means that no <br /> group of people should bear a disproportionate share of the negative environmental <br /> consequences resulting from industrial, governmental and commercial operations or <br /> policies. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Consideration and approval will not create the need for additional funding <br /> for the provision of County services. Costs for the required legal advertisement for the text <br /> amendment were paid from FY2018-19 Departmental funds budgeted for this purpose. Existing <br /> Planning staff included in the Departmental staffing budget will accomplish the work required to <br /> process these amendments. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br /> 1. Receive the proposed amendments to the UDO as detailed in this abstract and <br /> attachments; <br /> 2. Conduct the public hearing and accept comment on the proposed amendments; <br /> 3. Close the public hearing. (Note that, because this is a legislative decision, additional <br /> comments at a later date are permitted); <br /> 4. Approve the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 6); <br /> 5. Adopt the Ordinance as recommended by the Planning Director (Attachment 7 <br /> including 7-a, 7-b and 7-c — <br /> http://www.orangecountvnc.gov/DocumentCenter/View/7012), keeping language <br /> within Section(s) 2.10.3, 2.11.3, and 5.3.2 establishing the `burden of persuasion' <br /> consistent with the recommendation of the County Attorney. <br />
