521 <br /> <br />ordinances. These differences involved the following: Supplemental use <br />regulations; parking regulations; landscaping requirements; sign ordinances; <br />Overlay Districts; and adequate public facilities provisions. Also, Mr. <br />Marshall stated there would be a change in zoning districts to reflect new <br />zoning categories. However, he explained there would not be a change in the <br />overall concept and the zoning changes would be as close a change from <br />existing districts to districts under the new ordinance. Mr. Marshall <br />reiterated that the UDO would be continually under review and outlined the <br />process that the County and the local municipalities would follow in amending <br />the ordinance after its adoption. Finally, Mr. Marshall pointed out the <br />proposed UDO includes not only the Zoning Ordinance but also the Subdivision <br />Regulations, Mobile Home Park Ordinance and the Sedimentation and Erosion <br />Control Ordinance. <br /> <br /> Chairman Fennel arrived at 8:05 p.m. and presided over the remainder of <br />the meeting.
