If approved, all 30 land uses permitted <br /> within the R-1 (Rural Residential) district could be developed on the property accordingly, consistent <br /> with applicable regulations. Conventional district rezoning applications are processed in a legislative <br /> manner (i.e., does not require sworn testimony or evidence) and decisions are based on the Board of <br /> County Commissioners determination the request is consistent with the purpose and intent of the <br /> Comprehensive Plan. <br /> A formal site plan, reviewed and approved by staff in accordance with Section 2.5 of the UDO and <br /> conforming with the development standards of Article 6, must be submitted and approved prior to any <br /> development activity on the parcel. <br /> Review Milestones <br /> Application Submittal Date Submitted on April 19, 2024, and <br /> deemed complete by staff on April 25, <br /> 2024 <br /> Orange County Development May 16, 2024 <br /> Advisory Committee (DAC) Review <br /> Note: the DAC is a staff/agency committee, established in Section 1.9 of the Unified <br /> Development Ordinance. <br /> Courtesy Review <br /> Jurisdiction Date Sent Comments Received (Y/N) <br /> State Clearing House 5/6/24 Yes <br /> 3 <br />
