• Option 1: The consultant will provide a full rewrite of the County’s existing LDC and associated zoning map. o This includes creating a new document for the LDC, as the existing Word Document’s formatting is no longer optimal for regular use. The program in which the new document is created is up for discussion, but during the drafting process, it is imperative that the consultant provide a cloud version of the document that can be “live” edited by Planning staff for efficiency and timesaving. o The consultant will review every article within Chapter 42 and provide expertise and current case studies to inform the rewrite process. o Any graphics or illustrations the consultant wants to add to the LDC for demonstration purposes, etc., will be the responsibility of the consultant. Third-party contracts will not be accepted unless explicitly authorized by Henderson County. o The consultant will be responsible for analyzing the existing land use layer in conjunction with the future land use map to create the new county-wide zoning map. o All edits must comply with NC General Statutes 160D and any other applicable state law. o The consultant should be prepared to present at up to four (4) in-person meetings with the Planning Board and/or Board of Commissioners during the rewrite process and adoption.
