Approved 9/6/17 6 265 Lydia Wegman asked if the “etcetera” will be eliminated since all terms will be defined. 266 267 Michael Harvey confirmed this and said that “Government Protective Services” will be handled in the same way in 268 that there will be a definition of Government Protective Services that includes in it police and fire stations, rescue 269 squads, volunteer fire departments, and the like. 270 271 David Blankfard noticed that one of the examples under “Governmental Facilities & Office Buildings” that was 272 removed from the category is “Libraries,” but “Library” is also a category under “Adult and Child Care & Educational 273 Facilities.” He asked if there would be a conflict. 274 275 Michael Harvey answered that the government can develop a government facility in any and all zoning districts, so 276 if the government develops a library, it can be in any zoning district where it is allowed. In the “Adult and Child Care 277 & Educational Facilities category, “Library” is defined as private. 278 279 Lydia Wegman asked about state and federal uses in the “Government Facilities & Office Buildings” category. 280 281 Michael Harvey said that state and federal have been deleted because the County cannot distinguish these uses 282 and that they are likely preempted by the state and federal government from following county zoning. 283 284 Lydia Wegman followed-up to ask if there will be elsewhere in the Table where state and federal facilities and 285 buildings will be addressed. 286 287 Michael Harvey answered no, and that said that the same logic is applied to “Military Installations” in that certain 288 categories and examples will be removed from the Table and explained under Definitions. 289 290 Lydia Wegman asked if Planning Staff would share these definitions with the Board. 291 292 Michael Harvey responded that once the definitions are finalized and to everyone’s satisfaction, Staff will share 293 them with the Board. 294 295 Michael Harvey continued the presentation (page 142). He drew the Board’s attention to an update in the 296 “Manufacturing, Assembly, and Processing” category. The County Attorney recommended that this category be 297 more consolidated by changing this category to “Manufacturing, Assembly, and Processing – Food,” so all food-298 related activities will be listed under this category, and other uses listed under “Manufacturing, Assembly, and 299 Processing – Other” (page 144). 300 301 Lydia Wegman asked if “other” is further defined. 302 303 Michael Harvey said that “Manufacturing, Assembly, and Processing – Other” lists out all uses related to this 304 category exclusive of food preparation or food manufacturing. 305 306 Lydia Wegman asked if all other uses related to this category will be listed under Other. 307 308 Michael Harvey affirmed this and went over some of the uses under Other and showed where certain uses had 309 been consolidated, based on Staff and County Attorney recommendations. For example, “Electronic Equipment” 310 used to have several subcategories, but now this category has been reconfigured and called “Electronic Equipment 311 Manufacturing, Assembly, and Processing.” The independent uses previously listed are now defined under 312 Definitions. 313 314 Lydia Wegman commented that Definitions are going to play a major role. 315 316 Michael Harvey responded that the County Attorney’s Office prefers to have the structure handled in this way. 317
