Unified Development Ordinance Text Amendment— Public Hearinq Process Chanqes — Interim Report and Closure of Hearinq The Board opened the public hearing, received the information contained in this abstract and attachments, and closed the public hearing on a Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) text amendment that proposed changes to the public hearing process (presented at the September 8, 2014 Quarterly Public Hearing). Perdita Holtz said this item was heard at the September 8th quarterly public hearing and was referred to the Planning Board. She said this has been discussed extensively, and the flowchart in attachment 2 outlines a new process for legislative items. She said this process captures what the Planning Board discussed in October. Perdita Holtz said last night the Planning Board discussed a potential new process for quasi-judicial items, and although there is no flowchart, this would generally follow the cadence of the attachment 2 flowchart. She said the reason for the recommended closure of the public hearing is because the proposed public hearing is likely to change enough to necessitate re-advertising it for a new presentation at a future public hearing date. Commissioner Rich asked if any members of the public were in attendance while the Planning Board discussed this. Perdita Holtz said no.
