3 <br /> PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT <br /> ORDINANCE: SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS <br /> REFERENCE: SECTION III-D-2-c/d PRELIMINARY PLAT <br /> REVIEW PROCEDURES <br /> ORIGIN OF AMENDMENT: Staff Planning Board <br /> BOCC Public <br /> X Other: County Attorney <br /> STAFF PRIORITY RECOMMENDATION: High Middle X Low <br /> Comment: <br /> EXPECTED PUBLIC HEARING DATE: November 27, 1989 <br /> PURPOSE OF AMENDMENT: <br /> To establish a minimum time period within which <br /> recommendations from the Planning Board will be transmitted <br /> to the Board of County Commissioners . <br /> IMPACTS/ISSUES: <br /> Once a preliminary plan application has been accepted as <br /> complete, the Planning and Inspections Department must submit <br /> its report to the Planning Board within 85 days, unless the <br /> applicant requests an extension of that deadline. The Plan- <br /> ning Board prepares its recommendations within 45 days of the <br /> meeting at which the Planning Staff presents its report. When <br /> the Board of Commissioners receives the Planning Board' s <br /> recommendation, it has 45 days to take action on the prelimi- <br /> nary plan. Currently there is no time limit on the period <br /> between the time the Planning Board makes its recommendation <br /> and when the Commissioners receive the recommendation. A time <br /> limit is necessary so that projects are not delayed <br /> indefinitely between meetings . <br /> EXISTING AND PROPOSED ORDINANCE PROVISIONS: <br /> III-D-2.
