42 1 Perdita Holtz said yes, that is one that has been discussed. She said there are some 2 uses where you have to be located on a major road, but that standard can be modified if you go 3 through the re-zoning process for the conditional zoning district. 4 Commissioner Gordon asked for the reason why R1 does not have agricultural support 5 enterprises. 6 Perdita Holtz said, in the permitted use table, there is a footnote under the R1 zoning 7 that says no uses are being added here. She said the reason for this is because the R1 zoning 8 district purpose statement says that this is a zoning district for rural residential non-farm uses. 9 She said staff did not feel that farm uses should be added as permitted uses, as it would be 10 contrary to this purpose statement. She said, if you are currently zoned rural residential and 11 operating a farm, there are other avenues for approval, such as re-zoning to AR or applying to 12 the ASE-CZ zoning district. She said the R1 purpose statement could be modified, but that was 13 not the purpose of this effort. 14 Perdita Holtz presented the following final two slides: 15 16 Final Note 17 Some uses the farming community might be interested in applying for may be 18 permissible as a "Home Occupation" 19 Home Occupation standards are currently in the amendment approval process 20 Heard at November 2013 quarterly public hearing 21 Planning staff can help people determine which review/approval process would be the 22 most advantageous to apply for 23 24 Recommendation 25 Receive the proposal to amend the Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development 26 Ordinance. 27 Conduct the Public Hearing and accept public, BOCC, and Planning Board comment on 28 the proposed amendment. 29 Refer the matter to the Planning Board with a request that a recommendation be 30 returned to the Board of County Commissioners in time for the April 15, 2014 BOCC 31 regular meeting. 32 Adjourn the public hearing until April 15, 2014 in order to receive and accept the 33 Planning Board's recommendation and any submitted written comments. 34 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 35 Perdita Holtz noted an error in attachment 3, on page 206. She said the sawmill use 36 category should be listed as being allowed in the ASE-CZ zoning district. She said this has 37 been corrected on the internet materials. 38 Commissioner McKee said it seems there is a problem between legal and the planning 39 staff. He asked how to proceed. 40 Michael Talbert said this is a large item with many moving parts, and the area in conflict 41 is fairly small. He feels it would be appropriate to proceed with the staff recommendation, and 42 this can come back on April 15th with revised definitions that meet the requirements of both 43 departments. 44 Perdita Holtz said this was scheduled to go to the planning board next week. She 45 suggested it would be good to have this language turned around in time to put together these 46 agenda materials. She said if this is not possible, it should be continued to a later date. 47 Chair Jacobs suggested it be continued to a later date. 48 Commissioner Price asked if the attorney is comfortable with the rezoning districts on a 49 case by case basis. She said it seems like it is getting close to spot zoning. 50 James Bryan said he has reviewed all of this and he only found the three definitions to 51 be legally insufficient.
