11 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 51 new Subsection C of 6.14.5 which is Stormwater Management Applicability. So, this is literally the statute <br /> 52 language, I copied and pasted it into the Ordinance, and I think last time we talked about the word <br /> 53 "irrespective," but this is pulled directly from the General Statute and we haven't modified it. And I'll note, I'll <br /> 54 just jump ahead. You'll see in your Statement of Consistency that I do note that this is inconsistent with our <br /> 55 Comprehensive Plan and the Statement of Consistency says it's inconsistent with our adopted plans, but it is <br /> 56 consistent with state law and we're bringing our Ordinance into compliance with state law. <br /> 57 <br /> 58 Lamar Proctor: Thank you for being honest. <br /> 59 <br /> 60 Cy Stober: There's no way to honestly make a consistency statement otherwise, it's not consistent. <br /> 61 <br /> 62 Beth Bronson: I have a question about the general statute. They have exemptions for the regulation <br /> 63 relating to building design. So, structures located in areas designed as a local historic district... local <br /> 64 significance, landmark regulations and building requirements were... applicable safety codes... but they're also <br /> 65 talking about where regulations are applied to manufactured housing in a manner consistent with G.S. 160D- <br /> 66 908 and can you explain that? I mean, if it's irrelevant, I can go look it up, but does that mean that <br /> 67 manufactured homes are less protected? <br /> 68 <br /> 69 Cy Stober: So, what 160D did, if memory serves, is it updated and normalized statewide that mobile <br /> 70 homes or manufactured homes, it created the manufactured home language and definition that's consistent <br /> 71 with federal definitions, and as an aside, our Ordinance is not yet, we still refer to mobile homes in places we <br /> 72 need to correct that, our definitions are okay, but we got some work to do there. And I think that it <br /> 73 distinguished them from residential building and particularly for building code purposes, Perdita, what am 1 <br /> 74 missing? <br /> 75 <br /> 76 Adam Beeman: To meet HUD requirements, they don't have to meet local building codes. <br /> 77 <br /> 78 Cy Stober: Thank you, Chair. <br /> 79 <br /> 80 Beth Bronson: I just wanted to make sure I understood that like we are excluding how we would fall into <br /> 81 the residential code. <br /> 82 <br /> 83 Cy Stober: Oh yeah, so we have a mobile home park designation for primary use as a mobile homes, <br /> 84 it's a Conditional District and it has development standards and that was done as part of the update to bring <br /> 85 the Ordinance in conformance with 160D, it was modified at that time. I don't know, did the Mobile Home Park <br /> 86 Conditional District, did it pre-date 160D? <br /> 87 <br /> 88 Perdita Holtz: Oh yeah, it's been around for a long time. Orange County has always allowed <br /> 89 manufactured housing in all of the zoning districts. <br /> 90 <br /> 91 Beth Bronson: Absolutely, I just wanted to make sure that if we're going to... books like this is directed at <br /> 92 alleviating the regulatory, but also alleviated the requirement of property owners to safely manage the <br /> 93 stormwater for buildings that are on their property, not safely,just regulated. <br /> 94 <br /> 95 Cy Stober: What it does is it alleviates them of the treatment responsibility for any existing <br /> 96 development footprint. <br /> 97 <br /> 98 Beth Bronson: Existing, not new. <br /> 99 <br />
