This item is currently going through staff peer review. Initial recommendation(s) for the Planning <br />Board to consider are as follows: <br />a. Current Planning staff is recommending we utilize the NAICS code and <br />incorporate it, by reference, within the UDO. This will avoid staff having to <br />incorporate the definitional framework into Article 10 Definitions for the various <br />land use categories. <br />As we continue with this project, there will undoubtedly be modifications to existing <br />land use definitions in the UDO to ensure consistency with NAICS. <br />b. For those land use categories where NAICS does not provide a comprehensive <br />land use list, most notably residential, Current Planning staff is recommending <br />incorporating the APA LBCS codes as detailed herein to develop an appropriate <br />list of land uses. <br />This same recommendation is being made to internal peer reviews. If agreed to, staff will begin <br />to finalize the new table (i.e. a single master table of permitted uses) for final peer review in the <br />coming months. This new table will be reviewed at a future ORC meeting. <br /> <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Consideration and approval will not create the need for additional funding <br />for the provision of County services. Existing staff, included in the Departmental staffing budget, <br />will accomplish the work required to process this amendment. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): Planning staff recommends the Ordinance Review Committee review <br />and comment upon the proposed amendments to the UDO. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> 5
