ACTION REQUESTED:

Consider recommending approval or denial of the proposed text amendments.

PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:

 

BACKGROUND:

These proposed text amendments are based on recommendations outlined in the Union County 2050 Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan outlines several strategies that will help implement the vision of the plan; one of which is helping to protect the rural character and open spaces of areas shown as “Rural Residential” in the Union County comprehensive plan. The Board of County Commissioners then established an implementation committee to make specific recommendations concerning all of the strategies. One specific recommendation concerning protecting the rural character and open spaces of Union County is to require major subdivisions in the “Rural Residential” areas to provide 30% open space. This effectively reduces the overall density of major subdivisions in the “Rural Residential” areas by 30%. These implementation strategies were approved by the Board of County Commissioners in January of 2024.

FINANCIAL IMPACT: 

None.
