revised to reflect comments received from Board members at this time. Attachment 4 contains a spreadsheet summarizing proposed revisions to Sections 2.22, 5.3.4, and 5.5.3. Attachment 5 includes a spreadsheet summarizing Orange County’s home occupation standards and those of six other local jurisdictions. Attachments 4 and 5 were previously reviewed by the Board; they are included in this packet for informational purposes. At the Quarterly Public Hearing a BOCC member suggested staff send a letter to residents who currently have a home occupation permit in order to solicit feedback. A copy of the letter, which is scheduled to be mailed to 63 residents on November 27, is included as Attachment 6. Procedural Information: In accordance with Section 2.8.8 of the Unified Development Ordinance, any evidence not presented at the public hearing must be submitted in writing prior to the Planning Board’s recommendation. Additional oral evidence may be considered by the Planning Board only if it is for the purpose of presenting information also submitted in writing. The public hearing is held open to a date certain for the purpose of the BOCC receiving the Planning Board’s recommendation and any submitted written comments. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Consideration and approval will not create the need for additional funding for the provision of County services. Costs for the required legal advertisement will be paid from FY2013-14 Departmental funds budgeted for this purpose. Existing planning staff included in the Departmental staffing budget will accomplish the work required to process this amendment. RECOMMENDATION: The Planning Director recommends the Board: 1. Review and discuss Board and staff comments from the Quarterly Public Hearing. 2. Provide direction to staff whether changes should be made to the proposed text amendment presented at the Quarterly Public Hearing. 24
