C. PUBLIC HEARING ITEMS- Planning Board Chair Brian Crawford chaired these <br /> items. <br /> 1. Unified Development Ordinance Text Amendment - To review a government-initiated <br /> text amendment to Section 2.5.3 (Plan Specifications) of the Unified Development <br /> Ordinance which will add language requiring development projects subject to site plan <br /> approval to demonstrate compliance with adopted County access management and <br /> connectivity plans. <br /> Michael Harvey presented this item. He went over Attachment 1. He read some amended <br /> language, as follows: "Compliance with County adopted access management, transportation, or <br /> connectivity plans and denote the location of future roadways and access easements, whether public <br /> or private, to ensure and encourage future connectivity." <br /> Andrea Rohrbacher arrived at 7:09 P.M. <br /> There was no public comment. <br /> Brian Crawford noted that there is a Planning Board quorum. <br /> Commissioner McKee asked Michael Harvey about a project when he was on the Planning <br /> Board that there was a road that was stubbed out and there was opposition in the community. Also, <br /> recently with the Habitat for Humanity, there was another stub-out to the property behind it. He <br /> asked if this addressed the issue of going in with a stub-out to another piece of property and then <br /> opposition to the further development in it to stop it. <br /> Michael Harvey said that this amendment attempts to identify stub-outs and to ensure that <br /> landlocked parcels are guaranteed access to a public road. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner Yuhasz to <br /> approve the Manager's recommendation: <br /> 1. Receive the UDO text amendment request; <br /> 2. Conduct the public hearing on the petition; <br /> 3. Refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be <br /> retumed to the Board of County Commissioners in time for the October 18, 2011 <br /> BOCC regular meeting; and <br /> 4. Adjourn the public hearing until October 18, 2011 in order to receive the Planning <br /> Board's recommendation and any submitted written comments. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br /> 2.
