At the public hearing the <br />following comments were made: <br />1. A Planning Board member expressed concern there needs to be additional <br />thought on what constitutes ‘governmental uses’ and the expense and <br />logistical issues that might arise for various uses having to hold a <br />neighborhood information meeting. <br />Staff Comment: The direction from the BOCC has been that the <br />development of any governmental use, including office buildings, trails, <br />parks, etc., should have to go through a public notification process. <br />Staff included language in the proposal eliminating the requirement for a <br />neighborhood information meeting in those instances where a public <br />participation component is involved with respect to the planning of the use. <br />While staff understands the potential concern we do not share it. It should <br />be noted State and Federal uses are exempt from this requirement as they <br />are not subject to local land use regulations. <br />2. A BOCC member expressed concern over the imposition of additional cost <br />on applicants to advertise and hold the neighborhood information meeting. <br />November 5, 2013 - Receive Planning Board recommendation. <br /> <br />d.
