Staff response: This language is being deleted from all zoning district charts that contain it and new specific development standard language is proposed to be added to direct users to Sections 6.2.5 and 6.2.6 if more than one principal use or principal structure is being proposed on a non- residential zoning lot. The reason is that changes are being proposed for Section 6.2.5 and 6.2.6 that will apply requirements differently depending on Land Use categories, so it is impractical to reiterate the text of the two Sections in the zoning district charts. Directing users to the Sections if the situation applies to them is more practical. 6. The definition for "Research Facility" could be more clear. Staff response: The proposed definition has been revised and is included in Attachment 2. 7. There was a question about the language in Section 4.2.5 regarding impervious surface limits which staff answered at the hearing. 8. There was a question about the "collapsed" Land Use Buffer Schedule (Table 6.8.12.C) which staff answered at the hearing. Draft minutes of the November 21, 2011 Quarterly Public Hearing are included in Attachment 3.

The public hearing is held open to a date certain for the purpose of the BOCC receiving the Planning Board's recommendation and any submitted written comments.
