233 <br />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 />
