F[4 <br /> 44 <br /> Describe this board/commission's activities/accomplishments in carrying out <br /> BOCC goal(s)/priorities, if applicable. <br /> The Comprehensive Plan suggests the development be processed in a fair <br /> and equitable manner. The Board of Adjustment operates in a strong quasi- <br /> judicial framework. <br /> The Board of Adjustment is not a direct creation of the BOCC but is a <br /> statutorily required body designed to serve a myriad of functions including <br /> the review, interpretation, and application of development regulations. <br /> While some of their actions are based on the wording of the adopted 2030 <br /> Comprehensive Plan they are required to review certain cases, such as <br /> variance and appeal applications, on a case by case basis. There is always <br /> the likelihood the Board may determine there are errors within staff <br /> decisions and development regulations potentially requiring action by the <br /> BOCC to address. <br /> The BOCC, like any aggrieved party, has the option of appealing the Board's <br /> decisions to Superior Court for judicial review. <br /> If your board/commission played the role of an Element Lead Advisory Board <br /> involved in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan preparation process, please indicate <br /> your board's activities/accomplishments as they may relate to the Comprehensive <br /> Plan's goals or objectives. <br /> (The Element Lead Advisory Boards include: Planning Board, EDC, OUTBoard, <br /> Commission for the Environment, Historic Preservation Commission, Agriculture <br /> Preservation Board, Affordable Housing Board, Recreation and Parks Advisory <br /> Council) <br /> This Board did not play the role as detailed herein. <br /> Identify any activities this board/commission expects to carry out in 2013 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 /> Continued professional and courteous processing of applications consistent <br /> with the requirements of the UDO and State law. <br /> What are the concerns or emerging issues your board has identified for the <br /> upcoming year that it plans to address, or wishes to bring to the Commissioners' <br /> attention? <br /> If permitted uses processed are being examined, then any thoughts towards <br /> a more expanded role of the Board of Adjustment should be mutually <br /> researched. <br />
