§ 38-5. Exemption from zoning ordinances and regulations.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in chapter 38, Orange County is exempt from and is therefore not subject to or bound by its zoning ordinances and regulations when developing or using property it owns or leases for any governmental purpose for the health, safety or general welfare of the public as determined by the board of county commissioners. However, any such proposed project added to the county capital improvement program after April 29, 1997, shall be reviewed and evaluated by the county chairman and the district commissioner in whose district the proposed project is situated. The county chairman or the district commissioner shall furnish to the office of management and budget by October 1 of each year a list of any such proposed projects for which either or both desires a public meeting to be noticed and conducted in accordance with the county administrative regulations.
