The Staff Report in Attachment 2 contains <br /> additional information, maps, and analysis. <br /> Basic Review Process: A conditional district rezoning application requires submission of a site <br /> plan and other documents, in accordance with Section 2.9.1(C) of the Unified Development <br /> Ordinance (UDO). The typical cadence for the review is as follows: <br /> • FIRST ACTION —Applicant holds a Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM). <br /> STAFF COMMENT: The Neighborhood Information Meeting was held on February <br /> 22, 2023 at 5:30 p.m. at the Orange County Public Library. <br /> • SECOND ACTION —The Planning Board reviews the application at a regular meeting <br /> and makes a recommendation to the BOCC. <br /> STAFF COMMENT. The Planning Board reviewed this application at its regular <br /> meeting on March 8, 2023. <br /> • THIRD ACTION—The BOCC receives the Planning Board and staff recommendations <br /> at an advertised public hearing and makes a decision on the application. <br /> STAFF COMMENT.
