a , 084 Finance, Insurance and Real Estate Services Government The Design Manual includes various tables and text which specify the standards applicable to various land uses. However, the land uses listed in some of the tables do not correspond with the land uses listed in the Permitted Use Table. It can be difficult to determine the category into which a proposed use falls for the purpose of determining whether or not it is allowed in a specific EDD, and which standards should be applied. The proposed amendment renames the land uses listed in the following tables to correspond with the land uses listed in the Permitted Use Table: a) Minimum Required Site Volume Ratios (page 2.3.10) b) Off-Street Parking Requirements for Selected Land Uses (page 3.3.7) C) Schedule of Land Use Buffers (page 3.2.8) d) Maximum Permitted Sound Levels (page 2.4.3) RECOMMENDATION: Article 20 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that the Zoning Officer's recommendation be presented to the Planning Board within 30 days of receipt of an application. However,Article 20.4 exempts any application for amendments to the Zoning Ordinance by either the public or the County from the provisions of Article 20.3. In either case,though,the public hearing is the time scheduled for presentation of the Zoning Officer's Recommendation. Zoning OfTicer Recommendation Provided that the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners find in the affirmative, the Zoning Offlcer recommends approval of the proposed text amendment. Administration Recommendation The Administration recommends that the proposed amendment be referred to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of Commissioners no sooner than August 4, 1997.
