On <br /> September 3, 1997 the draft Functional Road Classifications and Map were <br /> presented to the Planning Board for the first time. On September 24, 1997 the <br /> Ordinance Review Committee reviewed the draft amendments related to the <br /> functional classifications for the Subdivision Regulations and the Zoning <br /> Ordinance. <br /> Comments made by the Ordinance Review Committee were incorporated into the <br /> draft plan and ordinance amendments. Then on October 14, 1997 the revised <br /> amendments were presented to the Planning Board again. The Planning Board <br /> unanamously recommended that the Comprehensive Plan and ordinance <br /> amendments be scheduled for public hearing on November 24, 1997. <br /> The Board of Commissioners approved the Public Hearing Notice with the <br /> Functional Road Classifications for publication on November 3, 1997. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: Article 20 of the Zoning Ordinance requires that the Zoning Officer's <br /> recommendation be presented to the Planning Board within 30 days of receipt of an <br /> application. However, Article 20.4 exempts any application for amendments to the <br /> Zoning Ordinance and Comprehensive Plan by either the public or the County from <br /> the provisions of Article 20.3. In either case, though, the public hearing is the time <br /> scheduled for presentation of the Zoning Officer's Recommendation. <br /> Zoning Officer Recommendation <br /> Provided that the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners find in the <br /> affirmative, the Zoning Officer recommends approval of the proposed text <br /> amendments. <br /> Administration Recommendation <br /> The Administration recommends that the proposed amendments be referred to the <br /> Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the Board of <br /> Commissioners no sooner than January 20, 1998. <br />
