Title

Public Hearing - Unified Development Ordinance Text Amendment, Expanding Housing Choices (TC1800007) (60min)

 

Body

Date of BOCC Meeting:  September 23, 2019

 

Request for Board Action:

Agenda Text

The Board is requested to conduct a public hearing and receive public comments on the Unified Development Ordinance Text Amendment, Expanding Housing Choices (TC1800007); and

 

First Motion: To adopt the appropriate Statement of Consistency pursuant to NCGS §153A-341; and

 

Second Motion: To adopt an ordinance amending the Unified Development Ordinance, incorporating revisions to Article 4, Zoning Districts; Article 5, Use Regulations; Article 6, District Intensity Standards; Article 7, Design Standards; Article 13, Additional Requirements for Subdivisions; Article 14, Nonconformities; and Article 17, Definitions; and

 

Third Motion: To adopt a resolution regarding the development and reporting of metrics for Expanding Housing Choices

 

Summary. Text amendment TC1800007 (Attachment B; B1-B6) includes amendments to the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) that would allow for more, and more varied, housing choices to be created in a context-sensitive manner predominantly within, but not completely limited to, the Urban Tier.  Proposed UDO revisions include expanding the allowance of duplexes, a new small lot option, aligning duplex and attached single-family housing types with detached single-family standards, increasing the opportunities for accessory dwelling units, modifications to residential infill standards, and modifications to other associated standards.

 

Alignment with Strategic Plan: The text amendment emphasizes Goal 4 (Community Prosperity) by offering fair and reasonable regulations for the citizens and business community of Durham while adhering to Goal 5 (Accountable, Efficient, and Visionary Government).

 

Resource Persons:  Michael Stock, AICP, Senior Planner, and Patrick Young, AICP, Planning Director

 

County Manager’s Recommendation:  The County Manager recommends that the Board conduct a public hearing on the proposed Unified Development Ordinance text amendment and, if appropriate based on the comments received during the hearing, adopt the appropriate Statement of Consistency and approve the amendment.
