127 PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT ORDINANCE: Subdivision Regulations REFERENCE: Section VIII -B Amendment Procedure ORIGIN OF AMENDMENT: x,Staff Planning Boerd_x__BOCC Public Other: STAFF PRIORITY RECOMMENDATION: ��—High x_._Middle Low Comment : EXPECTED PUBLIC HEARING DATE: May 25, 1987 PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT: To revise Section VIII -8-2 of the Subdivision Regulations making public notification procedures for ordinance amendments uniform among ordinances. IMPACTS/ ISSUES: The general public has been somewhat confused by different public notification procedures , used to amend different County Ordinances. A review of amendment procedures used by the Planning Department has identified several minor inconsistencies in notification procedures. This amendment will eliminate one such inconsistency. Notification procedures for amendments to the Subdivision Regulations are contained in Section Vlil of the Regulations. The time frame specified in this Section for publish- ing notices of public hearing in newspapers Is not the same as similar requirements for amendments to the Zoning Ordinance contained in Article 20 of that ordinance. Section VIII -B-2 specifies that the notice should appear not less than 15 days prior to each hearing. Article 20.6 specifies not less than 10 days nor more than 25 days before the public hearing. Since the Subdivision Regulations Is an ordinance adopted by the Board of Commis- sioners, it is recommended that the Sub- division Regulations Amendment Section be amended to be made consistent with the requirements of GS i53A-323 and specify that the notice of public hearing appear not than 10 days and not more than 410 leys before the 25 days public hearing.
