County Commissioners. The Planning Board may consider additional oral evidence only if it is for the purpose of presenting information also submitted in writing.11 (F) Interested persons may address the Planning Board at the Planning Board’s meeting and public comments may be taken into consideration by the Planning Board in making its recommendation. (G) The Planning Board’s action on an application shall be one of the following: (1) Make no recommendation, (2) Recommend approval, (3) Recommend denial, or (4) Recommend approval but with specified changes. 2.3.11 Action by Board of County Commissioners (A) The Board of County Commissioners shall not consider enactment of the a proposed amendment until the Planning Board either makes its recommendation or takes no action on the application as prescribed in this section Section 2.3.10. (B) In making its decision, the Board of Commissioners shall consider all relevant evidence presented at the public hearing and any submitted written evidence that was considered by the Planning Board in making its recommendation. (C) The Board of Commissioners, upon receipt of a recommended Comprehensive Plan or portion thereof from the Planning Board, shall consider such recommendations and adopt them by resolution, either unchanged or with modifications. (D) In making its decision, the Board of Commissioners shall consider comments made at the public hearing, the Planning Board’s recommendation, and the Planning Director’s recommendation. (E) The Board of County Commissioners is not bound by comments and recommendations and may make a decision different from comments and/or recommendations it receives. (F) Decisions shall normally be adopted by resolution except in cases where comprehensive plan amendments are also included with Unified Development Ordinance amendments, the comprehensive plan amendments may be incorporated into the ordinance approving the other amendments. SECTION 2.4: ZONING COMPLIANCE PERMITS 2.4.1 Applicability (A) As required by this Ordinance, a Zoning Compliance Permit must be issued before any new site development, building, structure, or vehicular use area may be erected, constructed or used. (B) Submittal and approval of a site plan (see Section 2.5) is required for issuance of a Zoning Compliance Permit except for: (1) Single-family detached dwellings and duplexes, and accessory structures to those residential uses shall require a plot plan as detailed within Section 2.4.3 of this Ordinance. In those instances, however, where the proposed level of land disturbance exceeds established thresholds as detailed within Section 6.14.5 of the 11 Staff is suggesting that oral comments on legislative items could be made at the Planning Board meeting and they would not also have to be submitted in writing. This will help alleviate the current awkward process of leaving the public hearing open in order to receive written comments which necessitates items being placed on the BOCC under the “public hearing” heading but with the note that no additional comments are accepted. 57
