AN ORDINANCE AMENDING
THE ORANGE COUNTY UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE
Whereas, the County determined existing language in the Unified Development Ordinance
(UDO) limited mixed-use development potential in districts intended for economic
development, and

support and accommodate innovative and diverse economic development opportunities in
the future, and

to allow certain principal uses to include a small component of other specific uses in the
O/RM zoning district in order to serve the needs of a specific principal use without
overpowering the intended purpose of the zoning district, and
Whereas, the requirements of Section 2.8 of the Unified Development Ordinance have
been deemed complete, and
Whereas, the County has held the required public hearing and has found the proposed
text amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the adopted Comprehensive
Plan.

Unified Development Ordinance is hereby amended as depicted in the attached pages.

UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE AMENDMENT PACKET NOTES:
The following packet details the proposed text amendment regarding the modification of
existing use standards. The amendment package will modify Sections 5.14 and 5.17 of the
Unified Development Ordinance (UDO).
As the number of affected pages/sections of the existing UDO are being modified with this
proposal, staff has divided the proposed amendments into the following color coded
classifications:
• Red Text: Denotes new, proposed text, that staff is suggesting be added to the UDO.
rd
• Red Highlighted Text: Denotes revisions made after the August 3 Planning Board
9 9
meeting.
Only those pages of the UDO impacted by the proposed modification(s) have been included
within this packet. Some text on the following pages has a large "X"through it to denote that
these sections are not part of the amendments under consideration. The text is shown only
because in the full UDO it is on the same page as text proposed for amendment or footnotes
from previous sections 'spill over' onto the included page. Text with a large "X" is not proposed
for modification.
Please note that the page numbers in this amendment packet may or may not
necessarily correspond to the page numbers in the adopted UDO because adding text
may shift all of the text/sections downward.
Users are reminded that these excerpts are part of a much larger document that regulates land
use and development in Orange County. The full UDO is available online at:
