Ordinance Amending Zoning Atlas <br /> PURPOSE: To hold a public hearing on Planning Director initiated amendments to the Zoning <br /> Atlas within the Bingham, Cheeks, and Cedar Grove Townships for a total of 15 properties. A <br /> breakdown of the properties, and the number of acres involved with this atlas amendment, as <br /> contained in Attachment 3. <br /> BACKGROUND: After a petition from BOCC members, staff began reviewing the zoning of <br /> several non-residentially zoned properties within the aforementioned townships and discovered <br /> existing designations do not fully encompass all required land area necessary to allow for the <br /> non-residential use of property. In many instances zoning district boundaries were drawn by <br /> former staff in a manner that encompassed only the building and parking area while excluding <br /> other required areas, most notably septic fields and required land use buffers. <br /> Many of these boundaries were designated when zoning was originally put into effect over 30 <br /> years ago. <br />
