Z Plannin Board Review The Planning Board reviewed various information at its March 2, 2011 meeting, including a fax received from Commissioner Alice Gordan shortly before the meeting began, and information provided by staff see Attachment 6}. As is shown in Attachment 6, the major themes for additional consideration were as follows: 1. Rezoning Considerations a. Stronger link to the Comprehensive Plan, and b. Guidance language in the UDD 2. Conditional Districts Focus Master Planned Developments MPD-CZ} in certain land use categories 3. vUatershed and '~Uastewater Treatment Systems 4. Focused Additions from the existing Planned Development section of the current Zoning Ordinance. After review and consideration, the Planning Board voted to recommend two revisions to the UDO related to #2 in the above list and to the Public Interest District (PID). The Planning Board voted specifically to reject the possible additions provided by staff to address #1 (a and b) and #4 in the list above since the Board thought proposed UDO language adequately covered these points. The two revisions recommended by the Planning Board are as follows: • Add the following text to Section 3.l -MPD-CZ Chart: MPD-CZ districts shall be limited to Transition Land Use Categories within the Grange County Planning Jurisdiction and Rural Community Nodes, as defined in the Grange County Comprehensive Plan. • Restore PID zoning district as a general use district as originally in the Grange County Zoning Ordinance, and modify language in the UDn that identifies the PID district as a conditional zoning district. As Hated in Attachment 6, staff has suggested that the PID zoning district become Section 3.6 of the UDG which necessitates re-numbering existing 3.6 and 3.7 to 3.7 and 3.8, respectively. This also requires changing section references throughout the UDU and pages where such section references will be made are included in Attachment ~. Plannin Board Recommendation At its March 2, 2011 regular meeting, the Planning Board voted to recommend adoption of Phase l of the UDG with the amendments contained in Attachment 2. The vote was 8-1. As contained in the Draft Minutes included in Attachment 4, there was extensive discussion among Planning Board members to convey to the BUCC that the Planning Board feels the Board has given Phase I its best effort, has spent much time an Phase I, and believes the BGCC should not send the Phase l document back to the Planning Board for additional review or edits because the Planning Board has recommended that the document with aforementioned revisions} be adopted by the BQCC. The Planning Board member who voted against approving the motion stated she felt the B4CC should be able to send the document back to the Planning Board for further review if the BCC chooses to do so.
