S1 ALTERNATIVE 1 8/30/90 Hearing PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO JPA LAND USE PLAN AND JOINT PLANNING AGREEMENT The following are amendments to the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan and ,joint Planninc Aczreement that represent changes reflecting the Conceptual Guidelines for the Rural Buffer, adopted in final form by the Rural Character Study Committee on May 24, 1990. The specific changes to the text of the JPA Plan are shown below in chronological order as they would occur in the plan. These amendments can be categorized as-dealing with one or more of the following three issues: 1) Extension of water and sewer into a defined corridor for planned "Rural Villages ". 2) Development standards for lots in the Rural Buffer. Currently, a minimum lot size of two -acres is required. The proposed standards would retain that standard as one of five permitted development options, adding others that provide for larger lots and /or environmentally - sensitive site design through clustered or planned developments. 3) Creation of "Rural Villages ", with a small -scale commercial core designed to serve the village only. In regard to the Joint Planning Agreement, the strategies are consistent with the provisions of the Agreement, requiring only a change to the "Definition of the Rural Buffer" found in Article I, Section 1.2(g). Specifically, this amendment would add language which refers to the creation of five permitted development options with a range of lot sizes and open space set- asides. Language would also be added to qualify the prohibition on public water and sewer service extension to allow an exception for extensions into a predefined service corridor only for the development of planned "Rural Villages ". No other changes to the Agreement are necessary. Where text changes are proposed, the paragraph in question has been provided, with proposed new text shown in boldface. Words or phrases deleted from existing text are indicated by the <DELETE> symbol. Provided as an attachment to this document are the actual pages from the Joint Planning Area Land Use Plan that would be amended, in their current form.
