7 The Planning Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment, including revisions to update information concerning the Hillsborough water storage tank. MOTION: Brooks moved approval as recommended by the Planning Staff. Seconded by Andrews. VOTE: Unanimous. e) Article 2.3 Land Use Intensity Article 3.2 Landscape Design Article 3.3 Circulation and Parking Article 2.4 Environmental Factors(Noise) Presentation by Mary Willis. This item is to consider a proposed amendment to replace land use categories referenced in various text and tables in the Design Manual to match those found in the Permitted Use Table. The Permitted Use Table in the EDD Design Manual categorizes permitted land uses according to the Standard Industrial Classification Manual(SIC)prepared by the Federal Office of Budget and Management. Using the SIC allows staff to more clearly determine the land use category into which a specific proposed use would fall to determine whether or not that use is allowed. The SIC categories used in the EDD Design Manual are: Residential Agricultural,Forestry and Fishing Construction Manufacturing,Assembly and Processing Transportation,Communication and Utilities Finance,Insurance and Real Estate Retail Trade 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)
