2 <br /> Finance, Insurance and Real Estate <br /> Retail Trade <br /> Services <br /> Government <br /> The Design Manual includes various tables and text which specify the <br /> standards applicable to various land uses. However, the land uses listed in <br /> some of the tables do not correspond with the land uses listed in the <br /> Permitted Use Table. It can be difficult to determine the category into <br /> which a proposed use falls for the purpose of determining whether or not it <br /> is allowed in a specific EDD, and which standards should be applied. <br /> The proposed amendment renames the land uses listed in the following <br /> tables to correspond with the land uses listed in the Permitted Use Table: <br /> a) Minimum Required Site Volume Ratios (page 2.3.10) <br /> b) Off-Street Parking Requirements for Selected Land Uses (page <br /> 3.3.7) <br /> C) Schedule of Land Use Buffers (page 3.2.8) <br /> d) Maximum Permitted Sound Levels (page 2.4.3) <br /> The proposed amendment was presented for public hearing on May 27, <br /> 1997. Commissioner Gordon requested that the Tables be revised to make <br /> the proposed changes more clear. Revisions have been made in response <br /> to those comments. There were no citizen comments. <br /> The Planning Board considered the proposed amendment on July 2, 1997 <br /> and recommended approval. The vote was unanimous. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that the Board of Commissioners <br /> close the public hearing and approve the proposed amendment per <br /> the Planning Board recommendation. <br />
