Application Submittal <br />DAC (Development Advisory <br />I Committee) <br />Review /Comments <br />Publish Legal Ad / Mail <br />Notifications for Public <br />Hearing <br />Public Hearing <br />(BOCC only) <br />Planning Board <br />Recommendation <br />BOCC Decision <br />Strongly recommended for all other projects <br />Staff Representatives of various County <br />departments and other agencies, as needed <br />The BOCC would not approve the legal ad in <br />this process. <br />(It should be noted that dropping the action <br />of having the BOCC approve the legal ad <br />could save approximately 3 weeks in the <br />existing process) <br />Each year during the process of creating <br />the BOCC meeting schedule for the <br />following year, the BOCC would designate <br />a minimum of 8 meetings where <br />Comprehensive Plan, UDO, Zoning Atlas, <br />and Class A SUP matters could be heard. <br />The rationale for a minimum of 8 per year would <br />be to designate a meeting in Feb, March, April, <br />May, Sep., Oct., Nov., and Dec. Doing so would <br />skip June which is when Budget matters are <br />dominant and would skip January and August <br />which tend to be busy agendas since they are <br />the first meetings back from breaks. Stipulating <br />8 as a minimum would also allow a future Board <br />to designate more meetings, if desired. <br />While the Planning Board would not be required <br />to attend the public hearing as an official board, <br />individual Planning Board members could <br />choose to attend the public hearing or could <br />view the public hearing on cable or over the <br />internet. <br />
