Board adopts UDO amendment to reflect Wake County reorganization and correct references
Summary
The board adopted ordinance amendment OA‑0126 to update the Unified Development Ordinance for county operational changes, correct statutory citations and modernize terminology; staff described the package as administrative and the Planning Board had unanimously recommended approval.
The Wake County Board of Commissioners adopted Ordinance Amendment OA‑0126 to align the Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) with a county reorganization of planning and development functions. Terry Nolan told the board the amendment is primarily administrative: it renames planning and development inspections to planning and development services, updates references to state statutes, modernizes terms (for example, changing "mobile home" to "manufactured home" where appropriate) and corrects other typographical items.
Nolan said the amendments do not alter land‑use regulations or permit requirements but ensure the UDO aligns with current county operations and referenced state agency names. Planning Board Chair Ted said the Planning Board reviewed the package and voted unanimously to recommend approval. Wayne Bostick offered public comment supporting the updates and noting clearer classifications would help residents navigate stormwater and other permitting questions.
Commissioner Thomas and the county attorney clarified procedure: two votes were required (a finding of consistency/statement of consistency with the comprehensive plan and then adoption of the ordinance amendment). The board adopted the statement of consistency and then adopted OA‑0126 by voice vote.
