Approved 7/20/11 2 • What is the meaning of the word “forms” in 6.9.1 regarding urban and rural forms. 56 57 • The Purpose & Intent is new language. What was the original Purpose & Intent statement? 58 59 • 6.9.1 Purpose of this Section, the word “welfare” should be changed to “well being” and they suggested adding 60 “including parking that promotes mass transit, ………….. with the character of the surrounding urban or rural area 61 and in harmony with the natural environment.” 62 63 • 6.9.2 Applicability, clarify off-street parking and loading requirements may be altered in certain incidences such as 64 conditional zoning applications. 65 66 • 6.9.3 Prohibited within Special Flood Hazard Areas, add language to define “Special flood Hazard Areas”. 67 68 • 6.9.4 Use of Required Parking and Loading Spaces, this section is too strict: wouldn’t existing development be 69 “grandfathered” with respect to parking requirements? This would prohibit activities like a temporary farmer’s market 70 or festival to be located in parking lots. The Board noted that this regulation should be more flexible. The Board also 71 asked how would staff would determine what development has been ‘grandfathered in’ with respect to required 72 parking, and how the situation would be reviewed. The Board determined that both a and b required further review. 73 74 • 6.9.7 Off-Street Parking Requirements, the table contains a lot of discrepancy. The number of employees is not a 75 desirable way to assign parking spaces needed. A suggestion would be by workstations/square footage/occupancy 76 rate. 77 78 • 6.9.8 Determination of Unlisted Uses; The OUTBoard noted that the BOCC, not the Planning Director should 79 determine the required parking for unlisted areas. 80 81 • 6.9.10 Off Street Parking Design Standards, Include bicycle, motorcycles, mopeds, and scooters. References to 82 state and / or federal standards should state specifically which state and/or federals standards are being referenced 83 (where documents are found). Drive Aisles should allow for dedicated bicycle lanes for safety. 84 85 The OUTBoard’s general consensus was that in general, bicycles and pedestrian were not thought of as part of the planning 86 document. 87 88 89 VI. Comprehensive Transportation Plan 90 91 Randy Marshall referred the members to the maps included with the agenda. He advised that the CTP Steering Committee 92 had completed analyzing the deficiencies and that information went to the County Commissioners and the Committee is now 93 in the process of developing alternatives for all modes of transportation. 94 95 Karen Lincoln invited the OUTBoard members to make suggestions and recommendations. Karen advised that she would 96 keep the group updated on development of the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) CTP. 97 98 Sam Lasris noted that the intersection at Carr Store Road and Efland Cedar Grove Road should be examined for 99 improvement. 100 101 Paul Guthrie thinks the impact in most of the major areas in the County has been underestimated. 102 103 Randy Marshall suggested that the OUTBoard members feel free to email him or Karen Lincoln if they have any further 104 suggestions/recommendations after further review of the maps. 105 106 The Board reviewed multiple maps. 107 108 Jeff Charles will make recommendation regarding bicycle lanes and send to Karen Lincoln. 109
