13 <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) establishing the effective date for the expansion of the West Fork on the Eno reservoir <br /> when determining required reservoir setbacks. <br /> The Planning Board hereby approves the proposed text amendment 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 4 - Land development regulations, guidelines, <br /> techniques and/or incentives that promote the integrated <br /> achievement of all. <br /> These amendments are consistent with this goal and <br /> objective by establishment of the effective date for the <br /> expansion of the West Fork on the Eno reservoir when <br /> determining required reservoir setbacks thereby ensuring <br /> consistent application of development regulations. <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 confusion with respect to the <br /> enforcement of setbacks from the West Fork on the Eno <br /> reservoir thereby ensuring transparency in the development <br /> review process. <br /> c. The amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it: <br /> 1. Ensures legal sufficiency by formally establishing what constitutes existing <br /> development and/or an existing parcel as it relates to the enforcement of <br /> reservoir setbacks associated with the expansion of the West Fork on the <br /> Eno reservoir. <br /> By establishing this reference date staff will be better suited to <br /> working with property owners abide by applicable regulations. <br /> The Planning Board hereby adopts this Statement of Approval and Consistency as well <br /> as the findings expressed herein. <br /> David Blankfard, Chair Date <br />
