7 <br /> �1 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY <br /> NORTH CAROLINA <br /> PLANNING and INSPECTIONS <br /> Cy Stober,AICP,Director I cstober@orangecountync.gov 1131 W.Margaret Lane,Hillsborough,NC 27278 919.24S.2S75 <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> Date: March 1, 2023 <br /> To: Orange County Planning Board <br /> From: Cy Stober, AICP, Planning Director <br /> Perdita Holtz, AICP, Deputy Director for Long-Range Planning and <br /> Administration <br /> Subject: Planning Board Request for Information Regarding Notification Distances for <br /> Neighborhood Information Meetings <br /> At the December 7, 2022 Planning Board meeting, the Board requested information on <br /> notification distances for Neighborhood Information Meetings (NIMs). Staff has <br /> gathered information from peer counties and compiled the information into the table <br /> below. <br /> In summary, Orange County currently administers the most robust notifications, in terms <br /> of both the types of actions for which a NIM is required to be held and the mailed <br /> notification distance. In addition to mailed notifications, the property is posted with a <br /> sign that informs interested passerby that an action is proposed on the property. This <br /> allows people who may not own property within the 1,000-foot mailed notification <br /> boundary to seek out more information if they desire. <br /> The Planning Department also coordinates with the County's Community Relations <br /> Department to send out information to an e-mail newsletter list and/or post on the <br /> County's social media accounts. Interested persons can sign up for various <br /> "sunshine"/newsletter lists at: https://www.orangecountVnc.gov/1561/Electronic- <br /> Newsletters. The County's Facebook and Twitter names are OCNCGov. <br />
