RESOLUTION CONCERNING
STATEMENT OF CONSISTENCY
OF A PROPOSED UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE (UDO) TEXT AMENDMENT
WITH THE ADOPTED
ORANGE COUNTY 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
WHEREAS, Orange County has initiated an amendment to the Unified Development
Ordinance (UDO) requiring a neighborhood information meeting prior to the review of Special
Use Permit applications at a public hearing; and,
WHEREAS, the amendment is intended to address a concern that local residents and
property owners are not being provided adequate time to understand, and prepare for, the
review of Special Use Permit applications; and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners finds:
a. The requirements of Section 2.8 of the LIDO have been deemed complete; and,
b. Pursuant to Sections 1.1.5, and 1.1.7 of the UDO and to Section 153A-341 of the
North Carolina General Statutes, the Board finds sufficient documentation within
the record denoting that the amendment is consistent with the adopted 2030
Comprehensive Plan, as amended, or part thereof including but not limited to, the
following:
Chapter 5 — Land Use Element— Section 5.6 Goals— Land Use Goal 6:
A land use planning process that is transparent, fair, open, efficient, and
responsive.
c. The amendment is consistent with applicable plans because it:
1. Increases the opportunity for the general public to become more aware of,
and directly involved in, the County's planning program.
d. The amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it:
1. Provides an opportunity for interested residents and property owners to
understand a project, obtain more understanding of the review process, and
provide comments in advance of the public hearing.
2. Promotes an open, transparent, and responsive permit review process.
BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Commissioners of Orange County that the proposed
