20 • Class B (i.e. 76ft to 199.9 ft.) balloon test/NIM held 6 weeks (42 days) prior to a public hearing. – Conditional Use District (CUD): 45 days prior to a public hearing. – Conditional Zoning District (CZD): 14 days prior to a public hearing. – Minor Subdivisions (flexible development more than 5 lots) before staff action on request. – Major subdivision: 14 days prior to Concept Plan review by Planning Board. – Government Uses: Has to occur prior to the formal submittal of the Zoning Compliance Permit/Site Plan application. Issue: • NIM typically 45 days before a public hearing. • Projects requiring review/recommendation by Planning Board, NIMs being held within a few days/a week before meeting. • Members of the public, Planning Board members, and elected officials have expressed concerns NIMs are occurring too close to the Planning Board meeting to be of benefit. Proposal: To address these issues staff is recommending: • NIMS for: – Class A Special Use Permits (Non-telecom facility), – CUD, and – CZD applications be held a minimum of 14 days prior to the Planning Board’s scheduled review of the item. – STAFF COMMENT: Notices of NIM required to be mailed a minimum of 14 days prior to the date of the meeting. • Subdivision stays as is (already 14 days prior to Planning Board) • Balloon test/NIM for Telecommunication Class B Special Use Permits occur 45 days prior to the public hearing (rather than the current 42 days). – STAFF COMMENT: Ensure consistency with established practice that NIM is held minimum 45 days before a public hearing. Amendments address concerns about time between NIMs and Planning Board meetings, and works to establish desired uniformity. Recommendation: The Manager recommends the Board: 1. Receive the proposed amendments; 2. Conduct the public hearing and accept comment; 3. Close the public hearing. (Note that, because this is a legislative decision, additional comments at a later date are permitted); and 4. Decide on one of the following options: a. Adopt the proposed amendments by approving the Statement of Consistency (Attachment 3) and Ordinance (Attachment 4). b. Defer a decision to a later BOCC regular meeting date. c. Refer the item back to the Planning Board for a specific purpose. Commissioner Jacobs referred to the purpose statement on page 3, which states, “shall be mailed a minimum of 14 days prior to the date of the meeting.” He said this language was not as clear as it might be, and he wondered to which meeting the language referred.
