BACKGROUND: On October 17, 1989, the Board of Commissioners approved an amendment which allows the Zoning Officer is issue a Stop Work Order for activity which violates provisions of the Zoning Ordinance and could cause irreparable injury if allowed to continue. The amendment involved changes to several sections of the Ordinance. Article 2.4.2.1 was amended to expand the duties of the Development Advisory Committee to render advise to the Zoning Officer in the issuance of Stop Work Orders. The County Attorney has indicated that the Development Advisory Committee should have no role in the enforcement of the Ordinance. The proposed amendment would delete paragraph 2.4.2.1(e), which was inadvertently recommended for approval on October 17, 1989. The proposed amendment was presented for public hearing on December 11, 1990. There were no comments. The Planning Board considered the proposed amendment on January 28, 1991 and recommended approval. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of the proposed amendment.
