169 <br /> PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT <br /> ORDINANCE: SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS <br /> REFERENCE: SECTION III-B CLASSIFICATION OF SUBDIVISIONS <br /> SECTION IV-B-10 CLUSTER SUBDIVISIONS <br /> ORIGIN OF AMENDMENT: x Staff planning Board <br /> BOCC Public <br /> Other: <br /> STAFF PRIORITY RECOMMENDATION: High Middle _c_LOW <br /> Comment: <br /> EXPECTED PUBLIC HEARING DATE: May 22, 1989 <br /> PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT: <br /> To revise the current definition of "minor subdivision" , and <br /> provide consistency in requirements for major and minor <br /> subdivision approvals. <br /> IMPACTS/ISSUES: <br /> The proposed amendment would allow the creation of four new <br /> lots within a two year period through the minor subdivision <br /> process. This would allow a greater number of very small <br /> subdivisions to be processed in a simplified manner. <br /> In addition, the Subdivision Regulations were reviewed for <br /> consistency of design standards, and application requirements <br /> between major and minor subdivision. Consistency is needed <br /> to assure that the minor subdivision process will not be used <br /> to avoid compliance with design standards for major <br /> subdivisions. <br /> Two areas of inconsistency were found. <br /> 1. Requirements for dedication of parkland, or <br /> payment in lieu of dedication, and <br /> 2. Application submittal requirements for cluster <br /> subdivisions. <br /> Inconsistencies regarding parkland dedication were addressed <br /> in a proposal presented for public hearing on February 28. <br /> Inconsistencies in submittal requirements for cluster <br /> subdivisions are largely of a technical nature, and are <br /> included in the proposed amendment (attached) . <br /> Kt <br />
