2 • Fourth Action — The BOCC reviews and takes action on the Preliminary Plat application. • Fifth Action — Per UDO Section 2.15.4, once all construction activities are completed, or appropriate performance guarantees are approved, the Planning Director shall take action on an application solely to affirm conformity with all applicable regulations and any established conditions, and approve the recordation of a Final Plat, allowing for the individual lots to be created. The Preliminary Plat application was provided to the State Clearinghouse for courtesy review on February 8, 2024. Planning staff reviewed the State Clearinghouse comments, as they pertain to the Major Subdivision project area, and did not identify areas of significant concern. Proposal: The applicant has submitted a Preliminary Plat (Attachment 1) to develop 15 single-family residential lots with approximately 35% (+/-9.95 acres) of dedicated open space, consistent with the open space requirements for a flexible development subdivision. The plat is compliant with all Orange County UDO's subdivision standards, and no objection or comment was identified by the DAC to the Preliminary Plat's approval (Attachment 4). Additional information and staff analysis regarding the proposal is contained in Attachment 2. Planning Board Recommendation: The Planning Board received and reviewed the Preliminary Plat application at its April 3, 2024, meeting and voted 8-1 to recommend approval of the preliminary plat (Attachment 1). Excerpts of the minutes from the meeting are included in Attachment 5.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: This request has been reviewed by various County departments which have determined that the approval of the request would not create the need for additional funding for the provision of County services. SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goal is applicable to this item: • GOAL: ESTABLISH SUSTAINABLE AND EQUITABLE LAND-USE AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of people of all races, cultures, incomes and educational levels with respect to the development and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, policies, and decisions.
