INC NEWS - Planning Board hearing on UDO changes

[Pat Carstensen]

There are two items up for the December 11 Planning Commission public hearing -- on on Conservation Subdivisions and one a long list of technical changes.  They are at:
www.durhamnc.gov/council/ord_changes/
Text Changes TC07-16 and TC07-13

What I see on the Conservation Subdivision is explicitly that the open space left has to meet purpose of conservation subdivision and open space standards (sewer and power line right of way not being on the list, I would guess this means that they can't be counted in the open space requirements (-:)


Technical changes1) Site plans in watershed protection critical areas that have more than low-impact run-off need major site plan review 


2) Dedicated open space can be transferred to a land trust 
3) Makes it more complicated (I think) to put parking in a flood plain4) Something about landscaping for vehicular use areas5) A bunch of other fiddly stuff
Regards, pat
