Public Hearing Summary A joint public hearing on the zoning request was held by the Board of County Commissioners and the Planning Board on November 24, 1997. Commissioner Halkiotis inquired about an area where a dam is located and it was described by staff. The Planning Board Chair and a neighbor of the subject property inquired about the planned use of the property if it were rezoned. Staff stated that any of the uses list by right, or allowed after receiving a Special Use Permit, in the I -1 zoning district would be possible. This list of uses is an attachment to these minutes on pages Since the public hearing, written comments have been received and were distributed to Board members. (copies attached to these minutes on pages ). Cameron stated that the concerns in the four letters speak to drainage, traffic and other impacts to adjacent properties. There is no use proposed at this time. Using a map, Cameron indicated the drainage pattern, noting that it drains to the east and there is a larger creek 300 feet east of this property. There is also drainage flowing in a swale to the south of the property that joins the larger creek to the east, but neither of those affects this property. Cameron noted that when a site plan is presented, erosion control, and buffer requirements will be applied to insure that all impacts will be addressed. Planning Staff recommends approval of the rezoning request for the Chang property to I -1, as delineated on the map (attachment on page ) and the findings (attachment to these minutes on pages ). Barrows asked about the performance standards. Cameron responded that buffers, screening, and noise levels will be determined and applied when a use is proposed. Searles expressed concern that once buffers were applied, there would not be sufficient area for use. Cameron responded that the Zoning Ordinance includes waiver provisions for the reduction of buffers under certain conditions. Katz noted that one of the letters referred to adverse impacts from a green house and it was not listed as a permitted use. Cameron responded that it is considered an agricultural use and is permitted in an AR district. Katz asked about the drainage concerns mentioned in one of the letters in reference to storage of petroleum products. Cameron responded that the Fire Code requires containment structures in case of accidental spills.
