107 <br /> Transportation Goal 3: Integrated land use planning and transportation <br /> planning that serves existing development supports future development, <br /> and is consistent with the County's land use plans which include <br /> provisions for preserving the natural environment and community <br /> character. <br /> Identify any activities this board/commission expects to carry out in 2016 as they <br /> relate to established BOCC goals and priorities. <br /> If applicable, is there a fiscal impact (i.e., funding, staff time, other resources) <br /> associated with these proposed activities (please list). <br /> The Board will continue its work in partnership with staff to further <br /> implement recommendations contained within small area plans and the <br /> UDO Implementation Bridge and to implement existing and new BOCC <br /> priorities, some of which may emerge at the January 2016 BOCC retreat: <br /> 1. Airport Regulations: Work related to revising airport regulations began in <br /> late 2015 and is expected to be completed in 2016. <br /> 2. Sexually Oriented Businesses: Work related to adopting regulations for <br /> sexually oriented businesses is underway and is expected to be completed in <br /> the first half of 2016. <br /> 3. Affordable and Senior Housing, including Co-Housing: On-going need <br /> for affordable housing opportunities, including senior housing, in the county. <br /> The UDO amendments currently being worked on related to temporary <br /> healthcare structures and other custodial care options address a small portion <br /> of the larger affordable and senior housing topic. <br /> • 4. Emergency Access: Continue to work with appropriate staff/departments to <br /> better ensure properties can be reached by emergency personnel (e.g., <br /> driveway width and clearance, bridge weight limit signage and sufficiency to <br /> allow a fire truck to pass, gate width, curve radii sufficient for emergency <br /> vehicles). Amendments currently being worked on related to private road <br /> standards address a portion of this topic. <br /> 5. Clustering in Rural Areas: Consider rural village concepts. Examine <br /> innovative septic systems whether in individual or community settings. <br /> Clustering does not increase density in rural areas but creates a higher <br /> percentage of open space. <br /> 6. Population Projections: Analyze regional population and employment <br /> projections (including MPO 2040 and the development of the MPO 2045 <br /> MTP). Rationalize and offer `ground truth' (i.e. what can realistically be built) <br /> to the amount and location of new development noted from population <br /> modeling (i.e. Community VIZ). Work with municipalities to aggregate their <br /> projected ceiling density totals based on their densification efforts and create <br /> composite countywide total by adding unincorporated projections.
