Planning Board Minutes - 7/11/07 2. Courtesy Review Abstract & Attachments from 7/11/07 Planning Board Agenda INFORMATION CONTACT: Craig Benedict, Planning Director, 245- 2592 Jay Bryan, Planning Board Chair Gene Bell, Planning Systems Coordinator 245-2589 PURPOSE: To apprise the BOCC of recent Planning Board discussions on courtesy review and seek BOCC direction and possible concurrence concerning the future direction of courtesy review activities. BACKGROUND: Early this year, the Planning Board had questions about its degree of involvement in Joint Planning Area (JPA) and Hillsborough area development project activity. The Board members were concerned that their level of involvement was less than sufficient. Therein, the members directed staff to explain the specifics of the various agreements and how the involvement is written. At its March 7, 2007 meeting, the Planning Board received a staff presentation on current courtesy review practices and procedures. A document titled "Points for Courtesy Review" was distributed by the Planning Board Chair and it served as the focus of a follow-up report to the Planning Board on July 11, 2007. Staff recommended that courtesy review be an item for discussion at the November 13 (rescheduled to November 19) BOCC and Planning Board Work Session as several of the "points" would require BOCC direction/action. FINANCIAL IMPACT: None at this time. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board receive as information and provide direction to staff concerning possible enhancements to courtesy review activities.
