Professional survey work completed in March 2024 revealed a discrepancy with <br /> Orange County's mapped watershed boundary lines, which are based upon the <br /> State's delineation of water supply watershed boundaries. As a matter of policy, <br /> the State advises delegated programs such as Orange County to notify the <br /> elected body of the watershed boundary change for formal recognition. Orange <br /> County Planning staff informed the Orange County Board of Commissioners <br /> (BOCC) of the watershed boundary change at their May 21, 2024 meeting. At that <br /> time, the Board approved an amendment to the Back Creek Protected Watershed <br /> Protection Overlay District and Upper Eno Protected Watershed Protection <br /> Overlay District boundary line and authorized the Planning Director to initiate a <br /> Zoning Atlas Amendment. <br />
