ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ORDINANCE <br />ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION COMMENTS <br />March 22, 1989 <br />Genes 1 Points . <br />1. Pur ose. The overriding consideration is this question: <br />What does this proposed ordinance protect against that our <br />existing local ordinances and State laws do not cover? or <br />cannot cover? If certain minor amendments are necessary to <br />our local development ordinances, then those should be made <br />on their merit. <br />2. Costs. Implementing the ordinance will impose costs on <br />the County.for professional staff and costs on property <br />owners (which will be passed on to citizens) both for <br />preparing the statements and because of the delays built into <br />the process. The time delays as spelled out in the ordinance <br />only serve to prolong an already long and tedious process and <br />delays cost money. <br />Need for Timetable. Each step in the process requires a <br />3. <br />clear timetable for action by County Staff and /or elected <br />officials. <br />4. Is reall a "moor Lgj -ects ordinance "? The <br />this <br />
