Amendment of the Master Telecommunication Plan Map (MTP) The Board held a public hearing, receive comment, and consider action on a request to modify the Master Telecommunication Plan Map (MTP) in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.10.2 Master Telecommunication Plan of the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance (UDO). Specifically, the BOCC is considering a request to add 7203 Union Grove Church Road to the MTP. Michael Harvey, Current Planning and Zoning Supervisor, presented the item: BACKGROUND: There are portions of the County that are either not served, or are underserved, by telecommunication services. This has become an impediment to essential County communications for several departments (i.e. Emergency Management, Sheriff, Information Technologies, Building Inspections, Health Department, etc.) and has negatively impacted local residents. In an attempt to address these issues, the County created the MTP. The MTP is, ultimately, a marketing tool identifying properties where owners have expressed an interest in allowing the development of telecommunication facilities. Staff encourages providers to develop facilities on these properties in an effort to promote the efficient distribution of telecommunication facilities serving the public at large as well as public safety telecommunication networks. Requests to include/remove properties from the MTP are processed consistent with the provisions of Section 5.10.2 of the LIDO. Such requests must be submitted to the Planning Department by December 1 of each year and are reviewed annually, as warranted, by the BOCC at the first public hearing of the calendar year. The MTP was originally approved by the BOCC on February 28, 2011. Minutes from that meeting can be accessed at: http://server3.co.orange.nc.us:8088/WebLink/0/doc/22420/Page1.aspx.
