A Planning Board member asked for a more detailed breakdown of anticipated <br />farm activities that would be allowed on the property. <br />STAFF COMMENT: Please refer to Attachment 3 of the abstract for the <br />applicant’s response. <br />d. The Planning Director asked the applicant to provide additional information on the <br />promotion of ‘crime prevention through environmental design’. <br />STAFF COMMENT: Please refer to Attachment 3 of the abstract for the <br />applicant’s response. <br />Planning Director’s Analysis: The Planning Director recommends approval of proposed Zoning <br />Atlas Amendment application and further recommends approval of the: <br />i.

Deliberate on the application as necessary, <br />2. Consider the Planning Director’s recommendation, and <br />3. Take action on the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 4) and make a <br />recommendation on the ordinance of approval (Attachment 5) in time for the November <br />5, 2015 BOCC meeting. <br /> <br />15
