Because the UDO has a specific section relating to the Planning Board’s Rules of <br />Procedure, the section needs to be updated in order to be consistent with current County <br />processes and procedures. <br />A similar change will be necessary for the Board of Adjustment (Section 1.8.4) after the BOCC <br />adopts policies and procedures for the Board of Adjustment. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />Please refer to Section C.3 of Attachment. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): <br />The Manager recommends the Board approve the attached <br />Amendment Outline form and direct staff to proceed accordingly. <br /> <br />
