B. RURAL BUFFER AND JOINT PLANNING AGREEMENT <br /> Here are the sections (that I have identified so far) that are related to the Rural Buffer and Joint <br /> Planning Agreement. Also related are the sections listed above for Conditional Districts. <br /> Applications for Amendment- Joint Planning Area - Sec. 2.8.4 - pp. <br /> 2-35 and 2-36 <br /> Residential Districts, Rural Buffer, pp. 3-2 and 3-3 <br /> Conditional Uses, Sec. 5.1.4, pp. 5-3 through 5-5 <br /> Table of Permitted Uses, Sec. 5.2, beginning on p. 5-6 <br /> Additional Standards for MPD-CZD, Sec. 6.7. pp. 6-54 through 6-63 <br /> Cluster Developments, Application Criteria for the Rural Buffer Zoning <br /> District, Sec. 7.12, pp. 7-48 and 7-49 <br /> C. OTHER COMMENTS <br /> Here are other sections that need review. Note that there is some overlap with sections <br /> described above. <br /> Review all sections shown in green type. Also, all sections that are new, and not simply related <br /> to consolidation of the county's ordinances, should be reviewed. <br /> Review all sections and definitions related to Site Plan, Site Specific Development Plan, and <br /> Plot Plan. (For example, look at Sec. 2.4.1, 2.4.2, 2.4.3, pp. 2-10 through 2-12). Also note that <br /> there is no definition of "Plot Plan" in Article 10. <br /> Review the changes related to Special Use Permits. For example, look at Sec. 2.7, starting on <br /> p. 2-24. <br /> Review the requirements for public hearings. For example, Sec. 2.8.6, p. 3-36 deletes the dates <br /> for the quarterly public hearings (February, May, August, November). These dates were <br /> specified so the public would be able to keep track of when these important hearings were to be <br /> held. <br /> Clarify where "institutional uses" and "professional services" can be found in the Table of <br /> Permitted Uses. It appears that there are no categories (e.g. "commercial uses") corresponding <br /> to these uses. <br /> Review the significance of the requirements and changes related to "wastewater treatment <br /> facility." For example, see page 3-3, bullet 6. Also note that in this bullet "Conditional Use <br /> (CU) District" is not in red type, even though these words are new. <br /> Review the significance of the requirements related to "minimum usable area for lots that utilize <br /> ground absorption wastewater systems." For example, see page 3-7, bullet 5. <br /> There are surely other sections that need further review, but these are the ones I have identified <br />
