Staff has continued the process of drafting amendments to existing <br />home occupation standards based on recommendations from the July Planning Board meeting <br />for further review. Attachment 2 contains a spreadsheet showing the existing standards and the <br />proposed revisions. After the September 4 Planning Board meeting, staff will write the <br />amendments into the UDO for Ordinance Review Committee (ORC) review on October 2. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Planning Staff recommends the Planning Board: <br />1. Receive the attached Comprehensive Plan and Unified Development Ordinance (UDO) <br />Amendment Outline Form and discuss if necessary. <br />2. Review and discuss the proposed amendments in Attachment 2 and provide further <br />direction to staff. <br />13
