Status Report on the Unified Development Ordinance - Chairman Fennel Chairman Fennel stated he had asked for a report on the Unified Development Ordinance (lIDO), specifically its status in the City of Kannapolis.

Mr. Legg distributed the "Kannapolis UDO Summary" and highlighted the major adopted changes along with other changes discussed by the Kannapolis City Council. Those changes involved such issues as the Planning Board/Board of Adjustment, the Agriculture (AG) District, cluster developments, manufactured home parks, preparation of construction drawings by landscape architects, paved driveway requirements, sign regulations, rural home occupations and non-conforming uses. Finally, Mr. Legg advised that the City Council had temporarily removed the adequate public facilities section relative to school capacity along with the sedimentation and erosion control section. Mr. Marshall and Mr. Legg responded to questions by the Board concerning the UDO.
