i ' 3 PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ORDINANCE: SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS REFERENCE: SECTION II - DEFINITIONS SECTION III - APPLICATION AND APPROVAL PROCEDURES ORIGIN OF AMENDMENT: _x_ Staff Planning Board BOCC Public Other: STAFF PRIORITY RECOMMENDATION: High _x_ Middle Low Comment: EXPECTED PUBLIC HEARING DATE: May 23, 1994 PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT: To allow subdivisions of five or fewer lots to be approved through the minor subdivision process if public road dedication or improvement is required. IMPACTS/ISSUES: In some cases, private road justification criteria are not met in a subdivision of five or fewer lots that would otherwise be eligible for the Minor Subdivision review process. Any subdivision which includes a proposed public road must be processed as a Major Subdivision, regardless of the number of lots, so that the Board of Commissioners can accept the dedication of the road right- of-way on behalf of the public. The proposed amendment would allow for the subdivision approval to remain administrative through the Minor Subdivision process, even if public road dedication were required. After approval of the subdivision, the offer of right-of-way dedication would be presented to the Board of Commissioners for acceptance, as an administrative matter.
