3 Conditional Zoning (CZ) Process: The process involves the approval of a rezoning petition and a site plan allowing for the development of a specific land use on a parcel of property. Applications are processed in a legislative manner (i.e. does not require sworn testimony or evidence) and decisions are based on the BOCC's determination that the project is consistent with the purpose and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. Development Process, Schedule, and Action: The typical cadence for the review of a CZ application is: • First Action — Planning staff schedules a Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM). Staff Comment — DONE. This meeting was held on April 8, 2015. A synopsis of comments from this meeting is contained within Attachment 4. • Second Action — The BOCC and Planning Board review the application at 1 of 4 joint Quarterly Public Hearings. Staff Comment — The public hearing is scheduled for May 26, 2015. Supporting documentation was not ready for the project to be presented at the February 19, 2015 Quarterly Public Hearing, which was cancelled due to weather. • Third Action — The Planning Board makes a recommendation on the proposal. Staff Comment — The Planning Board is slated to review this item at its July 2015 regular meeting. • Fourth Action — The BOCC receives the Planning Board recommendation and makes a decision. Staff Comment — Staff anticipates the BOCC receiving this item at its September 1, 2015 regular meeting for final action. Per Section 2.9.2 (F) (3) of the UDO, mutually agreed upon conditions can be imposed as part this process only if they address: 1. The compatibility of the proposed development with surrounding property, 2. Proposed support facilities (i.e. roadways and access points, parking, pedestrian and vehicular circulation systems, screening and buffer areas, etc.) and /or 3. All other matters the County may find appropriate or the petitioner may propose. If approved, the Zoning Atlas will be amended and the zoning designation of the property shall be changed to MPD -CZ. It should be noted this change will not exempt the property from complying with applicable overlay district standards (i.e. watershed or flood hazard). Development of the property, specifically allowable land uses, will be in accordance with the newly created zoning district in accordance with the approved site plan and any imposed conditions. The applicant shall be required to submit a final site plan in accordance within Section 2.5 of the UDO. This is so staff can verify all imposed conditions are adhered to and allow for final peer review by members of the Development Advisory Committee (DAC) as detailed within Section 1.9 of the UDO. There is no additional site plan review fee assessed to the applicant.
