Approved 6.5.24 <br /> 1198 regard to responding to the stormwater and watershed language, we needed to correct the stormwater <br /> 1199 management, so this is the language about stormwater crediting. This is entirely new language. It fits into a new <br /> 1200 Subsection C of 6.14.5 which is Stormwater Management Applicability. So, this is literally the statute language, <br /> 1201 1 copied and pasted it into the Ordinance, and I think last time we talked about the word "irrespective," but this is <br /> 1202 pulled directly from the General Statute and we haven't modified it. And I'll note, I'll just jump ahead. You'll see <br /> 1203 in your Statement of Consistency that I do note that this is inconsistent with our Comprehensive Plan and the <br /> 1204 Statement of Consistency says it's inconsistent with our adopted plans, but it is consistent with state law and <br /> 1205 we're bringing our Ordinance into compliance with state law. <br /> 1206 <br /> 1207 Lamar Proctor: Thank you for being honest. <br /> 1208 <br /> 1209 Cy Stober: There's no way to honestly make a consistency statement otherwise, it's not consistent. <br /> 1210 <br /> 1211 Beth Bronson: I have a question about the general statute. They have exemptions for the regulation <br /> 1212 relating to building design. So, structures located in areas designed as a local historic district... local <br /> 1213 significance, landmark regulations and building requirements were... applicable safety codes... but they're also <br /> 1214 talking about where regulations are applied to manufactured housing in a manner consistent with G.S. 160D-908 <br /> 1215 and can you explain that? I mean, if it's irrelevant, I can go look it up, but does that mean that manufactured <br /> 1216 homes are less protected? <br /> 1217 <br /> 1218 Cy Stober: So, what 160D did, if memory serves, is it updated and normalized statewide that mobile <br /> 1219 homes or manufactured homes, it created the manufactured home language and definition that's consistent with <br /> 1220 federal definitions, and as an aside, our Ordinance is not yet,we still refer to mobile homes in places we need to <br /> 1221 correct that, our definitions are okay, but we got some work to do there. And I think that it distinguished them <br /> 1222 from residential building and particularly for building code purposes, Perdita, what am I missing? <br /> 1223 <br /> 1224 Adam Beeman: To meet HUD requirements, they don't have to meet local building codes. <br /> 1225 <br /> 1226 Cy Stober: Thank you, Chair. <br /> 1227 <br /> 1228 Beth Bronson: I just wanted to make sure I understood that like we are excluding how we would fall into <br /> 1229 the residential code. <br /> 1230 <br /> 1231 Cy Stober: Oh yeah, so we have a mobile home park designation for primary use as a mobile homes, <br /> 1232 it's a Conditional District and it has development standards and that was done as part of the update to bring the <br /> 1233 Ordinance in conformance with 160D, it was modified at that time. I don't know, did the Mobile Home Park <br /> 1234 Conditional District, did it pre-date 160D? <br /> 1235 <br /> 1236 Perdita Holtz: Oh yeah, it's been around for a long time. Orange County has always allowed <br /> 1237 manufactured housing in all of the zoning districts. <br /> 1238 <br /> 1239 Beth Bronson: Absolutely, I just wanted to make sure that if we're going to... books like this is directed at <br /> 1240 alleviating the regulatory, but also alleviated the requirement of property owners to safely manage the <br /> 1241 stormwater for buildings that are on their property, not safely,just regulated. <br /> 1242 <br /> 1243 Cy Stober: What it does is it alleviates them of the treatment responsibility for any existing development <br /> 1244 footprint. <br /> 1245 <br /> 1246 Beth Bronson: Existing, not new. <br /> 1247 <br />
