INC NEWS - UDO and impervious surfaces

[Barry Ragin]

I've been told by Planning Dep't. and Inspections Dep't. staffers that 
the Durham UDO does not address the issue of impervious surfaces on 
existing residential lots. In other words, there is no ordinance that 
would prevent you from turning your entire back yard into a paved 
parking lot.

I know there are people on this list much more conversant with the UDO 
than I am. Can anyone confirm this for me?

Thanks,
Barry Ragin
