BACKGROUND: Procedures for public notification for amendments to various County ordinances vary from ordinance to ordinance. To reduce confusion by the general public and to insure consistency, the public notification procedures for amendments to ordinances have been reviewed to identify inconsistencies. To eliminate the inconsistencies and make the procedures uniform for all ordinances, two amendments have been developed: ( 1 ) An amendment to Article 2.3.3 of the Zoning Ordinance ( Separate public hearing item. ) ; and (2) an amendment to Section VIII B of the Subdivision Regulations . The proposed amendment to Section VIII-B would require that the first advertisement of a notice of public hearing regarding a proposed ordinance amendment appear in a newspaper not less than ten ( 10) and not more than twenty- five (25) days prior to the hearing . The amendment would provide uniformity between advertisement requirements in the . Zoning Ordinance and the Subdivision Regulations . Currently, the first advertisement must appear in a newspaper not less than fifteen ( 15 ) days prior to the hearing. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Staff recommends approval of the proposed amendment.
