This hearing is not intended to solicit additional input from the public or the applicant. While the BOCC may ask staff questions related to the review of a given item, comments from the public shall not be solicited. BACKGROUND: This item was presented at the September 9, 2013 Quarterly Public Hearing where staff indicated the anticipated development of a volunteer fire department substation off of Neville Road has caused local residents to voice concern over a lack of notification or participation in the process. The proposed amendment will require a neighborhood information meeting be held for all land uses falling into the `governmental uses' land use category to allow the general public to be made aware of the project and offer comment.
