OF A PROPOSED UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE TEXT AMENDMENT
WITH THE ADOPTED ORANGE COUNTY 2030 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
Orange County has initiated an amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance
(UDO) increasing the maximum allowable acreage for, and including additional permitted land
uses within, the Home Park Conditional Zoning District (HP -CZD).
The BOCC finds:
a. The requirements of Section 2.8 of the UDO 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.
1. The amendment is consistent with applicable plans because it supports the
following 2030 Comprehensive Plan goals and objectives:
• Objective Housing — 4.1: Continue to permit HUD code - compliant
manufactured housing as a form of affordable housing in the
County.
These amendments are consistent with this goal and
objective by increasing the maximum allowable acreage of
property that can be rezoned to HP -CZD thereby increasing
the number of individual manufactured housing units that
can be located within the district.
• Objective Land Use — 4.1: Support the use of individual
manufactured housing units as a useful housing resource in the
County by increasing the opportunities where these units can
locate by- right.
These amendments are consistent with this objective by
increasing the maximum allowable acreage of property that
can be rezoned to HP -CZD thereby increasing the number of
individual manufactured housing units that can be located
within the district. The amendment also expands permitted
uses within the district allowing for more opportunities for co-
location of home parks on County owned property where
there are existing facilities (i.e. offices, parks, etc.).
c. The amendment is reasonable and in the public interest because it:
1. Increases opportunities to develop affordable housing.
The amendment increases the land area that can be rezoned to
HP -CZD thereby allowing for the location of additional
manufactured housing units.
2. Allows for additional governmental land uses within the HP -CZD.
The proposed regulations allow for increased opportunities for the
County to partner with developers to locate HP -CZD on County
owned property where existing, or proposed, government land uses
are located (i.e. offices, parks, etc.).
The Board of County Commissioners hereby adopts this Statement of Consistency and
