Mr. Marshall presented an overview of the proposed UDO and outlined the process that began in 1997 by the County and the local municipalities to develop the proposed ordinance. Mr. Marshall explained the purpose of the UDO is to unify all land development ordinances among the jurisdictions. However, he pointed out that the UDO would continue to be administered and reviewed individually by each of the jurisdictions. Also, Mr. Marshall stated the existing zoning classification for all parcels would be changed to the most similar category under the UDO. Finally, he advised that staff would prepare a document that specifically references Cabarrus County and related General Statute citations. The model draft was prepared using the City of Concord as a model. Chairman Fennel announced those persons with questions about the current and proposed zoning classifications for their property should contact the Planning Services Department. Those persons owning property within the city limits of Concord or Kannapolis should call the planning department for the municipality in which their property is located. Mr. Marshall responded to a number of questions by Board members regarding recent changes to the draft UDO, the changes in zoning classifications, the public hearing process and the process for future amendments to the LIDO and Zoning Maps. Also, at the Board's request, he addressed a number of items listed in an advertisement published in the local newspapers on September 17, 2000. These included issues related to the following: non-conforming uses; sexually oriented businesses, including supplemental regulations, related constitutional rulings and court cases; dwelling units on agriculturally zoned land; the process for splitting off building lots; home businesses and the use of detached buildings; animal units; the cutting of trees; bona fide farms; the use of cul de sacs and connectivity requirements; conditional uses; and landscaping requirements. At 7:38 p.m., Chairman Fennel opened the public hearing concerning the proposed UDO and Zoning Maps. The Notice of the Public Hearing for the UDO and Zoning maps was published in THE INDEPENDENT TRIBUNE and THE CHARLOTTE OBSERVER (Cabarrus Neighbors) on August 27, September 3, September 10 and September 17, 2000. In addition to those advertisements, Mr. Marshall stated that mailings were sent on September 6, 2000 to those property owners who live outside the circulation area for the newspapers. Mr. John Morro, resident of 254 Central Heights Drive, Concord, asked the Board to postpone the final vote on the UDO until after further review.
