El It should also be noted that the County's existing development process includes pre - development meetings whereby applicants meet with various County staff to learn more about the regulatory requirements of the project they are proposing. Residents and developers have never been required to navigate through the various regulations on their own. Draft UDO /Comprehensive Plan Amendments The draft UDO and Comprehensive Plan amendments are included as Attachment 4. Staff does not intend to present these amendments at the work session on September 9. They are included for informational purposes so the BOCC and public can be apprised of the work that has been done to date and how the amendments would fit into the UDO. The amendments follow the spirit and intent of the pre -2010 work, with some minor adjustments to reflect changes in state laws and to have the amendments follow the cadence of the UDO. Depending on direction /input received at the work session, additional changes may be made. If any BOCC members have questions or comments on the draft amendments, staff can address them at the work session. A chart depicting the basic zoning program for ASE uses is contained in Attachment 3. This chart shows which uses are allowed in which zoning districts and directs users to the section of the UDO that contains any specific use standards. Next Steps The "Amendment Outline Form" for these amendments is expected to be approved by the BOCC at its September 5, 2013 regular meeting. The basic steps included in the amendment outline form are as follows: October 2, 2013 — Planning Board ORC (Ordinance Review Committee) meeting October 16, 2013 — Agricultural Preservation Board meeting for review /comment, additional meetings as necessary (the APB does not meet in September) November 21, 2013 — Assembly of Governments meeting to discuss these amendments and their applicability in the Rural Buffer February 2014 — Public Information Meeting (generally held the week before the quarterly public hearing so advertising can be included in the QPH legal ad) February 2014 — Quarterly Public Hearing on UDO /Comprehensive Plan amendments FINANCIAL IMPACT: Existing Staff has accomplished the work completed thus far on this project and will complete the necessary work required for this project. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board provide staff with input /direction on the review process, as detailed under the bolded headings above.
