DRAFT 122 Larry Wright: I would like to start on this agenda, this is the one I modified and that you have. One of the things I would like to 123 impress upon you is the importance of your opinions on this Board. The Commissioners do read the minutes and while the votes 124 are extremely important showing overall Board approval, Commissioners do take a look at specific opinions of the members and 125 sometimes these opinions may be in the minority and they weigh heavily in debates among the Commissioners so one of the 126 things I would like to do during this meeting is to make sure that each of you has an opportunity to express your opinion. What 127 I'd like to do is deal with the first item here. One of the things I'd like to do here is to point out that at the end of February, 128 February 28th, we have a quarterly public hearing. Two days later we have our March meeting. One of the things I would like the 129 members of this Board to consider is how we might handle those recommendations within two days after the Quarterly Public 130 Hearing and I ask you to consider this, do we need an additional meeting in March to handle that, remembering that we are to 131 hand in a final report on April 5. Is that right? 132 133 Perdita Holtz: Well it needs to be long before April 5m because of agenda deadlines, it is more like no later than the 11 th of 134 March. 135 136 Larry Wright: Ok, so one of the things we need to consider while we are going through this meeting, and I will entertain a motion 137 here if you want to bring it up, but at least this has to be handled in the March 2 meeting on how we are going to dispatch with 138 request from the Commissioners after the February 28 meeting. 139 140 Mark Marcoplos: I think we are probably not going to get any huge surprises and we can deal with the March 2nd meeting and if 141 we feel like we need another meeting, we can schedule another meeting. I think we have been through this and been around the 142 track a couple of times and I think we'll probably be able to deal with it on March 2nd, if we don't we can schedule another 143 meeting. 144 145 Larry Wright: Think about it and we can make that decision then but it's something we really need to consider. Especially as we 146 go to the Quarterly Public Hearing and we hear what transpires. 147 148 149 AGENDA ITEM 7: UNIFIED DEVELOPMENT ORDINANCE (UDO): 150 To discuss the Planning Board's recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners regarding 151 adoption of the entire UDO and to make said recommendation. 152 Presenter: Planning Staff 153 154 Larry Wright: Ok, so now we'll handle the first item which is review of Conditional District, Conditional Zoning, General Use 155 Zoning Permitted Uses, and General Use Zoning. I want to take this first because it does address some storm water issues in 156 this topic. It's the reverse of what the first agenda was. Could staff give us a brief overview of what we reviewed here and a brief 157 overview addressing the modifications resulting from Planning Board suggestions. 158 159 Craig Benedict: Perdita will certainly go through that and the changes that were made based on your comments in January. 160 161 Perdita Holtz: As a result of the January 5th meeting, the Planning Board requested specific changes and those are listed in the 162 abstract. One was to add a definition for Conditional Districts, another had to do with providing a clearer explanation regarding 163 the exclusions listed from Conditional Use District and then the last request was to modify the Table of Permitted Uses in some 164 way to more clearly differentiate the Conditional Zoning Districts. In attachment two of your packets, if you look on page 45, we 165 do have a suggested term for Conditional Districts, a definition, it's down at the bottom of the sheet and hopefully you've had a 166 chance to review that. As far as the exclusions from Conditional Use District consideration, if you look at the Table of Permitted 167 Uses, on pages 47 through 51, you'll see that we added a symbol behind each use that cannot be used for a Conditional Use 168 District, a lambda. The lambda is footnoted on each page indicating that use is not permitted as a Conditional Use District. In 169 addition to the list of exclusions, it is still going to remain in Section 5.1.4. Lastly, we modified the Table of Permitted Uses, you 170 may recall that the former Table had three additional columns at the end for Conditional Zoning Districts and we decided to have 171 a separate Permitted Use Table for Conditional Zoning Districts since we are anticipating that there will be additional Conditional 172 Zoning Districts in the future such as for ag services or airport. There is a whole different chart now that is on page 53 through 173 56 and we hope it is clearer now that Conditional Zoning Districts are different from the General Use Zoning Districts and we also 174 added the note up at the top of page 53 that says, Note: Applications for Conditional Zoning Districts must list specific uses for 175 consideration/approval. This is for it to be a bit clearer when people are looking at the chart and they haven't read the 176 procedures in Article 2 that you can't have all these starred items, you have to request certain uses you are applying for. That 177 certainly is clear in the procedure section for Conditional Zoning Districts but we heard that there might have been some 178 confusion about what exactly it meant if you were just looking at the Table of Permitted Uses. Those were the changes we were 179 requested by the Board that we incorporated. 180 181 Larry Wright: Any discussion or questions? 182 3 199
