Commissioner Gordon moved the language as stated above, which was seconded by Commissioner Hemminger. Brian Crawford said that this is a matter for the Board of County Commissioners to discuss after public comments. Commissioner Gordon said that it is important that the public know that this is the established process. Commissioner Jacobs said that he spoke with one of the staff before the meeting and he asked staff to explain the difference in the staff's proposal regarding referral of the UDO and what Commissioner Gordon has proposed. Planning Director Craig Benedict said that on item C-1, what Commissioner Gordon proposed is consistent with the staff recommendation with one difference. The difference is when the Planning Board looked at the November 2010 draft and all of the comments made since then, the motion made in February was to accept the November draft and all of the comments made thereafter as approved by the Planning Board, and to have that as a baseline of the approval. The Planning Board wants to focus on any new information coming in from the public and any directives from the County Commissioners. Commissioner Gordon said that her motion includes more scope and it means that all public comments can be accepted without anything being precluded. Craig Benedict said that on December 14th, the County Commissioners approved a new process for the UDO adoption. This process approved outlined how information would be forthcoming up to the continued public hearing. This approved document by the County Commissioners said that all local governments should have all comments back by February 2na On February 2nd, when the Planning Board deliberated, it thought that it had the full breadth of knowledge. He said that this is consistent with the County Commissioners' outline of information. Brian Crawford said that the Planning Board has thoroughly vetted the comments and made recommendations. He said that they would like to take in new comments tonight and deliberate on those rather than revisiting the previous comments.
