Because the UDO has been amended since these comments were made, referenced sections may be slightly off as some portions of the UDO have been <br />renumbered. <br />19 <br />Implementation Bridge - Future Phase Suggestions Planning Staff Comment <br />78. <br />Change to require a to Class "A" Special Use Permit, which would <br />require BOCC approval rather than Board of Adjustment -- Section <br />5.9.5 <br />This is in reference to Electric, Gas and Liquid Fuel Transmission Lines <br />which currently require a Class B SUP (approved by the Board of <br />Adjustment). A Class A SUP would have to be approved by the BOCC <br />(with a recommendation made by the Planning Board). The Class A <br />process is usually longer since it requires review at a quarterly public <br />hearing and then a meeting of the Planning Board whereas a public <br />hearing by the Board of Adjustment can be scheduled can occur any <br />month. The BOCC would have to make a decision on whether it would <br />like to change the approval process for this type of use froma Class B SUP <br />to a Class A SUP. Staff's opinion is, given the findings of fact are the <br />same, if an applicant demonstrates compliance with the provisions of the <br />UDO a permit must be issued, regardless of which decision-making body <br />issues the permit. <br />79. <br />Mention Water and Sewer Management and Planning Boundary <br />Agreement. Any system should be designed, planned, constructed <br />and maintained by the responsible entity as assigned through the <br />Agreement -- Section 7.13.4 (C) (1) (b) <br />80. <br />[Staff note: the comments in sage-colored boxes were made by <br />Animal Services staff] As I suspect you know, the <br />County’s Animal Control Ordinance includes kennel definitions and <br />a permitting process for Class I and Class II Kennels. The County’s <br />Zoning Ordinance also includes kennel definitions and process for <br />a kennel (or stable) to obtain a special use permit (which requires <br />one or possibly both of the permits issued Animal Control). <br />Planning staff believes the processes have been 'better coordinated' with <br />the approval of a UDO text amendment package in January of 2012. A <br />kennel is now a separate land use category from a stable. <br /> 98
