[Durham INC] FYI: Proposed Text Amendment to the UDO regarding Tree Ordinance

[Mimi Kessler]

>From the Planning Public Notification service:

*Text Amendment Regarding Phased Development and Tree Preservation
(TC2200004): *This text amendment proposes revisions to the Tree Protection
and Tree Coverage standards (Section 8.3), Project Boundary Buffer
standards (Section 9.4), and Article 13, Additional Requirements for
Subdivisions (new Sec. 13.9, Phased Development) within the *Unified
Development Ordinance* (UDO) in order to:

   - Address ongoing concerns regarding soil erosion during the development
   of larger sites,
   - Incentivize better management and encourage more deliberate design in
   regards to grading and topography, and
   - Amend tree coverage and preservation standards to prioritize preservation
   of existing tree coverage instead of tree replacement, where possible.
