7 <br /> BOCC Work Session <br /> 8/29/02 <br /> Growth Control Recommendations <br /> I. Develop an outline for a special use permit(SUP)process for the subdivision of land <br /> creating 20 or more lots to be presented at 9/17/2002 BOCC meeting <br /> 11. Notify every applicant for residential subdivision approval: <br /> (1) whose application or proposed application is not also for a planned development <br /> special use permit; or <br /> (2) whose application or plarmed application involves the subdivision of land into <br /> 20 or more lots <br /> that the Board of Commissioners will consider amending the Orange County Zoning <br /> Ordinance, on or before December 2, 2002,to provide that any subdivision of land <br /> creating 20 or more lots is a special use requiring a special use permit. <br /> • The amendments that will be considered may include other procedural and <br /> substantive requirements. These requirements may include: <br /> (a) greater detail, coverage and confirmation of the"yield plan"required in <br /> the evaluation of whether the project may be approved as a conventional plan or a <br /> flexible plan; <br /> (b) professionally prepared groundwater analysis if the residential lots are <br /> proposed to be served by wells; <br /> (c) public water supply availability if the residential lots are proposed to be <br /> served by a public water system. <br /> • The notification shall advise the applicant that the applicant will not be considered to <br /> have acted in good faith if the applicant proceeds, after the notification, with an <br /> application while the amendments are under consideration. <br /> • An application that has received special use permit approval,preliminary plan <br /> approval or that has been scheduled for Board of Commissioner preliminary plan <br /> action',will not be so notified and may proceed according to its special use permit or <br /> preliminary plan approval and the Orange County Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision <br /> Regulations in effect on the date of approval. <br /> • Begin the notification process as soon as possible. <br /> ' Only one residential subdivision that has not received either a special use permit or preliminary <br /> plan approval would likely qualify for consideration by the Board of Commissioners under the <br /> zoning and subdivision rules in place now. That subdivision is Eno Ridge which is scheduled for <br /> Board consideration on September 17, 2002. <br />
