The Planning Board voted unanimously to <br />recommend approval of the rezoning request. <br />Planning Director's Recommendation <br />The Planning Director recommends approval of this rezoning request based on the following: <br />A. The rezoning is consistent with the adopted JPA land use plan which intends higher <br />density and intensity than the "base zoning" of R -1. <br />Attachment 4 contains the proposed Ordinance approving the rezoning. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Other than advertising costs and staff time which have been paid using <br />budgeted FY2011 -12 funds, there is no direct cost to the County. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board: <br />1.
