UDO AMENDMENT PACKET NOTES: The following packet details staff's proposed modifications to existing regulations governing the review and development of solar arrays and utility facilities. These amendments are based on comments /direction received by BOCC, Planning Board, and Commission for the Environment members since the August 27, 2012 Quarterly Public Hearing. As the number of affected pages associated with this proposal is extensive, and substantial text is being modified, staff has divided the proposed amendments into the following color coded classifications: • Red Underlined Text: Denotes new, proposed text, that staff is suggesting be added to the UDO • Red Strikethrough Text: Denotes existing text that staff is proposing to delete • Green Strikethrough Text: Denotes existing text that staff is proposing to re- locate as part of the proposed re- organization of existing regulations. The anticipated benefit is the elimination of existing ambiguities and redundancies as well as grouping similar standards into central sections of the UDO to avoid confusion. • Green Text: Denotes existing text that has been re- located to a new /revised section of the UDO as well as modifications recommended by the Planning Board at their September S, 2012 regular meeting. Only those pages of the UDO impacted by the proposed modification(s) have been included within this packet. Staff has included footnotes within the amendment package to provide additional information /rationale concerning the proposed amendments to aid in your review. Please note that the page numbers in this amendment packet may or may not necessarily correspond to the page numbers in the adopted UDO because adding text may shift all of the text /sections downward.
