2 18 considers this a necessary modification to existing district boundaries to ensure consistency with the UDO as well as the adopted Comprehensive Plan. For more information please refer to Attachment 1. Maps denoting the properties reviewed as part of this project are contained within Attachment 2 and broken down by township. A breakdown of recommended rezoning actions, including maps of all impacted properties, is contained in Attachment 3. Staff is moving forward with those properties where owners have indicated an interest and is still working to address questions from remaining owners who have not made a final decision. Work on these remaining properties will continue and staff will provide periodic updates as necessary. Planning Director's Recommendation: The Planning Director recommends approval of the Statement of Consistency, indicating the amendments are reasonable and in the public interest, contained in Attachment 6 and proposed zoning atlas amendment package contained in Attachment 7. Planning Board Recommendation: At its November 2, 2016 meeting, the Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the Statement of Consistency and the Zoning Atlas amendments. Michael Harvey, Current Planning Supervisor, made the following PowerPoint presentation: November 21, 2016 Agenda Items: D-1 BOCC QUARTERLY PUBLIC HEARING: ZONING ATLAS AMENDMENTS BACKGROUND • Over the years different methodologies have been employed related to the establishment of zoning district boundaries. • Old zoning atlas was maintained on paper tax maps. Over the years these maps were modified to a point where confusion was created as to where actual zoning boundaries were and what properties were zoned. • In many instances, zoning boundaries were drawn in a manner that encompassed only the building and parking areas while excluding other required areas, most notably land use buffers. • In some cases, maps for properties are missing altogether. EXAMPLE OF OLD ZONING ATLAS (photograph) BACKGROUND (continued) • After a petition from BOCC, staff began reviewing zoning in Bingham, Cheeks, and Cedar Grove Townships. — STAFF COMMENT: other townships will be reviewed at a later date. • Staff identified several instances where existing zoning did not fully encompass all required land area to allow for use of property.
