The requirements of Section 2.8 Zoning Atlas and Unified Development Ordinance <br />Amendments of the UDO have been reviewed and determined to be unacceptable due <br />to either the potential impacts upon surrounding properties or a lack of final conditions <br />on the site plan, as required by Sections 2.5 and 2.9.1(C)(1)(a) of the Orange County <br />UDO: <br />- Placement of wood chips, stumps and logs, branches and similar wood by- <br />products within 100 feet of the residentially-zoned property boundaries; <br /> <br />- Allowance for changes in the exact placement of features and structures within <br />the limits if disturbance and designated “activity area” on the site plan, subject to <br />staff review and approval; <br /> <br />- Allowance for lighting plan to be altered from what is submitted, provided that all <br />outdoor pole lights not to exceed 14’ and not be located outside the proposed <br />“activity area” on the site plan, subject to staff review and approval; and, <br /> <br />b. Pursuant to Sections 1.1.5 Statement of Intent - Amendments, and 1.1.7 Conformance <br />with Adopted Plans of the UDO and to Section 160D-604(d) Planning Board review and <br />comment – Plan Consistency and 160D-605(a) Governing Board Statement – Plan <br />Consistency of the North Carolina General Statutes, the Board finds that the <br />amendment is inconsistent with the “Rural Buffer” classification, as defined in the 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan: Land adjacent to an urban or transition area which is rural in <br />character and which should remain rural, contain very low-density residential uses, and <br />not require urban services during the plan period. <br />Attachment 7 147
