44 <br /> is not supported by Orange County Schools. <br /> Both school districts require CAPS issuance as part of the subdivision review and approval <br /> process, in compliance with the adopted 2003 SAPFO and its accompanying MOUs independent <br /> of the plat signature. The school districts staff (OCS and CHCCS) keep their respective elected <br /> boards apprised of CAPS issuance through regular staff reports; this will remain unchanged. <br /> Planning staff is recommending that the signature block be removed as a subdivision plat <br /> recordation requirement to remove an unnecessary and time-intensive step from subdivision plat <br /> approval. The approved CAPS will remain part of the subdivision application package and a <br /> criterion for Planning staff approval of the plat for recordation, and will be maintained by Planning <br /> staff with the subdivision request file. The recommended amendment does not have any impacts <br /> on the school districts' reporting of enrollment figures and will remove an unnecessary step from <br /> plat approvals in the unincorporated areas of Orange County. <br /> The Ordinance Review Committee (ORC) reviewed the UDO amendments at the October 5, <br /> 2022 ORC meeting (see meeting notes in Attachment 4). <br /> Planning Director's Recommendation: The Planning Director recommends approval of the: <br /> • Statement of Approval and Consistency indicating the text amendments are reasonable and <br /> in the public interest, as contained in Attachment 2. <br /> • The Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) text amendments, as contained in Attachment <br /> 3. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There are no costs associated with this project other than the <br /> use of staff time and the required legal advertisement for this amendment's public <br /> hearing. County staff has and will continue to accomplish the necessary tasks <br /> associated with amending the UDO and the legal advertisement will be paid from <br /> budgeted funds for this purpose. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Planning Director recommends the Board. <br /> 1. Review the proposed UDO text amendments and deliberate as desired, <br /> 2. Consider the Planning Director's recommendation, and <br /> 3. Make a recommendation to the BOCC on the Statement of Approval and <br /> Consistency (Attachment 2) and the proposed UDO text amendments <br /> (Attachment 3) in time for the January 17, 2023 BOCC meeting. <br />
