Approved 3/14/2011 <br /> <br />OC Board of Adjustment – 11/8/2010 Page 23 of 43 <br />1 <br />Article 8.2.1 <br />3. The location and character of the <br />use, if developed according to the <br />plan submitted, will be in harmony <br />with the area in which it is to be <br />located and the use is in <br />compliance with the general plan <br />for the physical development of the <br />County as embodied in these <br />regulations or in the <br />Comprehensive Plan, or portion <br />thereof, adopted by the Board of <br />County Commissioners. <br /> To be determined by Board after <br />receiving evidence to be <br />submitted or heard at public <br />hearing. <br /> <br /> Is <br /> <br />___ Is Not <br /> 2 <br />3 <br />4 <br />5 <br />6 <br />7 <br />8 <br />9 <br />MOTION made by Larry Wright that this application and the site of this is in a location in character of its use. The <br />history that has been in testimony here has shown that this has been a ball field since the 60’s. It is just laying fallow <br />and now it will be rejuvenated. The applicant in a very detailed manner did list how it conforms to the 2030 <br />Comprehensive Plan and therefore I think this is in line with what the Commissioners would accept. I move that we <br />approve Article 8.2.1(3) on both the testimony and application. Seconded by David Blankfard. <br />VOTE: Unanimous <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION 10 <br />11 <br />12 <br />13 <br />14 <br />15 <br />16 <br />17 <br />18 <br />19 <br />20 <br />21 <br />22 <br />23 <br />24 <br />25 <br />26 <br />27 <br />28 <br />29 <br />30 <br />31 <br />32 <br />33 <br />34 <br />35 <br />36 <br />37 <br />The Planning Staff has not received any information that would establish grounds for making a negative finding on the <br />general standards.
