110 <br /> Community Outreach: As part of the outreach program, two open house meetings were held on <br /> July 20, 2016 to solicit public input/comment on potential subdivision modifications. The <br /> meetings were: <br /> • From 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. with local land surveyors, developers, and property owners who <br /> had gone through the existing subdivision review process. Approximately five people <br /> were in attendance; and <br /> • From 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. with local property owners. Approximately five people were in <br /> attendance. <br /> As a result of comments received during these various meetings, staff crafted an amendment <br /> that: <br /> i. Eliminates the "outdated" Cluster Development subdivision type as currently <br /> contained in Section 7.12 of the UDO, and replaces it with a Flexible Design process. <br /> ii. Allows for residential lots to be clustered smaller than the 40,000 sq. ft. limit as <br /> detailed in Section 7.13.4 (B) (6) of the UDO with the preservation of additional <br /> common open space area(s) within the subdivision. <br /> iii. Allows for a maximum of 12 lots (vs. the current maximum of 5 lots with a <br /> conventional design) to be allowed through the Minor Subdivision process if the <br /> property owner/applicant chooses to go through the Flexible Design subdivision <br /> process. <br /> iv. Maintains current density limits, but allows for added lots via more flexible design <br /> requirements. <br /> v. Mimics Flexible Designed provisions already permitted with Major Subdivisions within <br /> County. <br /> vi. Allows development to cluster in logical land use patterns that complement the <br /> transition from urban to rural areas of the County. <br /> The goal is to revise existing development standards in an effort to encourage purposeful <br /> growth and development within the County in a cost efficient manner (e.g. shorted roads and <br /> area cleared for residential lots), while promoting the perpetual maintenance/preservation of <br /> common open space areas. <br /> Planning Director's Recommendation: The Planning Director recommends approval of the <br /> Statement of Consistency, indicating the amendments are reasonable and in the public interest, <br /> contained in Attachment 2 and proposed UDO text amendment package contained in <br /> Attachment 3. <br />
