7 <br /> BOCC agenda under this new heading. <br /> As has been discussed in the past, the bases for some of the proposed revisions are <br /> as follows: <br /> 1. Allow the public to make comments at the end of the process. <br /> 2. Do not require a quorum of Planning Board members in order to hold a public <br /> hearing. <br /> 3. Streamline and speed up the review/decision process when possible. <br /> The proposed revisions are expected to achieve these objectives. When the BOCC <br /> discussed this topic at its May 12, 2015 work session members indicated that if the <br /> process were revised it should be evaluated after one year to ensure it was working <br /> as intended and satisfactorily. If the proposed revisions are adopted, an evaluation <br /> can be scheduled for a year later. Any future revisions to the UDO would need to be <br /> brought forward to a future public hearing. <br /> 3. Comprehensive Plan Linkage (i.e. Principles, Goals and Objectives) <br /> Land Use Goal 6: A land use planning process that is transparent, fair, open <br /> efficient, and responsive. <br /> 4.
