[Durham INC] Fw: Notice for initial public review for UDO text amendments TC1500002, TC1500006, and TC1500007

[Pat Carstensen]

The state legislation one includes the rather Orwellian name changes as well as loss of the protest petition, loss of the ability to legislate appearance of residential development and some finangles of some kind about stream buffers and impervious surface.

The "omnibus" update is also going to the governing bodies soon.


Text Amendment TC1500001 – Omnibus UDO Amendments #9. A text amendment consisting of technical revisions and minor policy changes to various provisions of the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO), including Article 1, General; Article 2, Review Authority; Article 3, Applications and Permits; Article 4, Zoning Districts; Article 5, Use Regulations; Article 6, District Intensity Standards; Article 7, Design Standards; Article 8, Environmental Protection; Article 9, Landscaping and Buffering; Article 10, Parking and Loading; Article 11, Sign Standards; Article 12, Infrastructure and Public Improvements; Article 14, Nonconformities; Article 15, Enforcement; and Article 16, Definitions.



The amendments are grouped into five categories:

•         Amendments necessary to reflect a change to the name of the State Division of Water Quality;

•         Amendments to Section 2.5, Historic Preservation Commission, to remove duplicative standards with the rules of procedure or interlocal agreement as similarly done with the Board of Adjustment and Planning Commission, and Sec. 3.16, Historic District or Landmark Designation, to correct district initiation process and remove unnecessary plan requirements;

•         Amendments identified as necessary corrections, clarifications, re-organization, or other minor changes to more accurately comply with the intent of the regulations or codify interpretations of regulations;

•         Amendments that reflect minor policy changes and are not solely technical in nature; and

•         Additional changes to the standards for wireless communication facilities (WCFs) (paragraph 5.3.3N) as discussed through the adoption process of text amendment TC1200013.
