237 interested in knowing where existing regulations are located within the new UDO format. Upon adoption, all text currently shown as proposed for deletion will be removed, thereby shortening the length of the document. More importantly, staff will develop user friendly brochures of different development processes so our customer interaction can be focused on their specific interest. Therefore, the customer will likely be relating to only a small section of the overall document. The UDO is available to the public on the Planning Department's UDO website and upon request, can be provided on CD. Implementation Bridge and Improvements to Adopted UDO The Consultant working with staff on this project will produce an "Implementation Bridge" document which will provide recommendations for future phase work. Additionally, once all of the text proposed for deletion is removed from the draft document by staff, the Consultant will produce an Index for the UDO. Staff is also discussing with the consultant the possibility of providing a variety of hyperlinks in the electronic version of the adopted document and an estimate of the cost for the next budget cycle. Economic Development Districts — Name Changes and Zoning District Name Changes The existing Economic Development District (EDD) Design Manual (which has been incorporated into the UDO) lists names that are no longer used for the EDDs. The table in Attachment 5 shows the name in the EDD Design Manual along with the proposed name. Additionally, the existing zoning district classifications are inconsistent with the numbering scheme used for other zoning districts and are proposed to be changed for consistency. These proposed changes are also shown in Attachment 5 along with maps depicting where these zoning districts are located. More specific work in these areas is proposed by staff for the next phase. FINANCIAL_ IMPACT: The BOCC provided $32,600 in the 2009 -2010 budget, Departmental Contract Services Account, to complete this BOCC priority. The costs of consulting services, as outlined in the executed contract, are not to exceed $30,000. The additional $2,600 was budgeted for advertising, copying and printing expenses. Monies were not carried forward from the previous budget, so staff is working with Financial Services to accommodate this multi -year BOCC priority. Advertising, copying and printing expenses have exceeded $2,600 but in the interim have been paid using general Planning Department budgeted funds for these types of activities. Additionally, Planning staff time on the project has been significant. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Director recommends the Board: 1. Receive the proposed Unified Development Ordinance. 2. Conduct the Public Hearing and accept public, BOCC, and Planning Board comment on the proposed Unified Development Ordinance. 3. Refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be returned to the Board of County Commissioners in time for the February 15, 2011 BOCC regular meeting. 4. Adjourn the public hearing until February 15, 2011 in order to receive and accept the Planning Board's recommendation and any written public comments submitted to the Planning Board at or prior to its December meeting.
