BOCC Authorization to Proceed: In general and consistent with the Agreement, following Town adoption, the BOCC is to consider endorsing the Plan or arranging for negotiation and agreement on any changes. At the June 18, 2013 BOCC meeting, the Board authorized staff to proceed with the development and adoption of the COCA Land Use Plan according to the outline and schedule provided in Attachment 1.

Public Hearing: The proposed draft Future Land Use Plan was heard at the September 9, 2013 joint public hearing. No members of the public spoke on the proposed draft. However, the Board requested additional information on "immediate and future steps contemplated to make the maps and land use visions of the Town and County coincide" (See Immediate and Next Steps Section).

This change, which is referenced in the attached Resolution, is deemed necessary so as not to inadvertently prohibit the clustering of residential lots as an acceptable and in some cases preferable means of meeting maximum density requirements. Staff notes that it is the only reference to minimum lot size among all of the various Future Land Use Classification definitions as proposed. "Rural Living. These areas reflect existing very -low density residential uses with densities below 0.5 dwelling units per acre (at least a a 2 aGFe m434mum lot °iW that occurs in areas without public water and sewer service, in locations where continued low- intensity use without public water and sewer is desirable for the foreseeable future."
