The plan emphasized retaining the area's <br /> rural character and protecting landowner's rights and also contained <br /> recommendations for implementation. The Board of County <br /> Commissioners adopted the small area plan on August 5, 1996. <br /> Following adoption,the 22 member citizen planning group worked with <br /> county staff to develop proposed ordinance amendments for plan <br /> implementation. The proposed amendments would: <br /> • Incorporate appropriate references to the Stoney Creek Basin Small <br /> Area Plan in the Comprehensive Plan(CP-1-97); <br /> • define the Overlay District boundaries on the Zoning Atlas (Z-2-97); <br /> • create a Stoney Creek Basin Overlay Zoning District; and <br /> • modify Flexible Development provisions in the Subdivision <br /> Regulations as applied to the District to provide consistency between <br /> the Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Regulations. <br />
