The <br /> discussion focused on two major policy questions: <br /> 1. Location of Commercial,Commercial-Industrial,Economic Development, <br /> and similar non-residential activity nodes; and <br /> 2. Board of Commissioners review of economic development proposals. <br /> The Board of Commissioners approved a recommendation that proposals <br /> suggested by Commissioners Gordon and Insko be referred to the Planning Board <br /> for review with the understanding that: <br /> 1. The Planning Board's recommendation to the Commissioners will be <br /> made in time for the amendments to be heard at the May 23 quarterly <br /> public hearing; and <br /> 2. The Planning Board will consider a variety of approval options; i.e., <br /> Staff, Planning Board, and Commissioners. <br /> At its March 21, 1994 meeting, the Planning Board referred proposed <br /> amendments to the adopted Economic Development Districts to the Ordinance <br /> Review Committee with instructions to provide a recommendation to the Planning <br /> Board by its April 18 meeting. <br /> Proposed amendments were provided to the Ordinance Review Committee for <br /> review/discussion on March 29, 1994. Subsequent to that meeting, the report of <br /> the Ordinance Review Committee was presented to the Planning Board at its <br /> April 12 meeting. Although the Planning Board recommended that the options <br /> be presented at the May 23 public hearing, the Board of Commissioners, at its <br /> May 2 meeting, decided to withhold the proposals for further discussion. <br /> The proposals are presented below, including all options considered by the <br /> Ordinance Review Committee. <br />
