Aversion of these amendments were reviewed at the November 25, <br />2002 Quarterly Public Hearing and since that time the concept has been enhanced as noted <br />below. <br />ORANGE COUNTY ZONING AND SUBDIVISION ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENTS <br />1. In May of last year the Planning Board in a letter to the Board of County Commissioners <br />(BOCC) noted their concern about the impact of subdivisions in the county. <br />On November 25, 2002, a Public Hearing was held for Zoning and Subdivision Text <br />Amendments to: (1) establish a Class A Special Use Permit requirement and process <br />when creating 20 or more lots or involving 20 or more acres, and (2) this would be required <br />in addition to Preliminary Plat Approval for Major Subdivisions. However, these <br />amendments were not approved. <br />
