18 STAFF COMMENT: This request would be reviewed by the BOCC during a 1 previously advertised public hearing with a recommendation made by the 2 Planning Board. The Planning Board typically reviews the item anywhere from 30 3 to 40 days prior to the anticipated public hearing. 4 b. For Class B permit applications (i.e. 76ft to 199.9 ft.) a balloon test is held a minimum 5 of 6 weeks (42 days) prior to the public hearing. Staff attends the balloon test and 6 conducts the NIM on-site. 7 STAFF COMMENT: This request would be reviewed by the Board of 8 Adjustment during a previously advertised public hearing with no 9 recommendation/review required by the Planning Board. 10 11 3. Section 2.9.1 (D) Conditional Use District (CUD): NIM held a minimum of 45 days prior 12 to the public hearing. 13 14 4. Section 2.9.2 (D) Conditional Zoning District (CZD): NIM held a minimum of 14 days 15 prior to the public hearing. 16 17 5. 2.14.2 (B) Minor Subdivisions. For a minor subdivision utilizing the flexible development 18 option with more than 5 lots, a NIM is required once the concept application is accepted 19 for review (i.e. after determined to be complete) by staff. 20 STAFF COMMENT: Minor subdivisions utilizing the flexible development option 21 are acted upon by staff with no review made by either the Planning Board or 22 BOCC. 23 The UDO does not establish a specific timeline as to when this meeting is held. 24 Standard practice has been the NIM is held after the application is accepted but before 25 staff takes formal action on the application. 26 27 6. 2.15.2 (D) Major subdivision: NIM held a minimum of 14 days prior to the review of the 28 Concept Plan by the Planning Board. 29 30 7. Section 2.24.2 (A) Government Uses: Has to occur prior to the formal submittal of the 31 Zoning Compliance Permit/Site Plan application to the Planning Department for 32 processing. 33 34 Current regulations typically require a NIM to be held 45 days before a public hearing. For those 35 projects requiring review/recommendation by the Planning Board, this translates to a NIM being 36 held within a few days/a week before the Planning Board meeting where the project is slated for 37 review. Staff has heard from some members of the public, Planning Board members, and 38 elected officials that NIMs are typically occurring too close to the Planning Board meeting to be 39 of any real benefit. 40 41 To address these issues staff is recommending the following: 42 a. NIMS for: 43 • Non-telecommunication facility Class A Special Use Permits, 44 • CUD, and 45 • CZD applications 46 shall be required a minimum of 14 days prior to the Planning Board’s scheduled review of 47 the item. Per the UDO notices of the NIM shall be mailed a minimum of 14 days prior to the 48 date of the meeting. 49 50
