2. Where feasible combine land uses into single categories. For example it was suggested multiple references to: a. Hotel/Motel, b. Lodging Units, and c. Rural Guest Establishment(s) (i.e. bed and breakfast, bed and breakfast inn, country inn) Be collapsed into a central land use category versus 3 separate categories. 3. Review existing definitions to eliminate the reliance on including ‘example land uses’ with respect to outlining what constitutes a permitted land use within that category. 4. Consolidate and eliminate duplicative references to regulations within the UDO. For example under Section 5.8.4 Schools: Elementary, Middle, and Secondary there are numerous references to ‘what information’ has to be submitted for the processing of the Class A Special Use Permit application. This information is already contained in Section 2.7 and does not need to be repeated multiple times throughout the UDO. Based on previous comments/recommendations, as well as direction from the BOCC, staff has completed the following: a. Collapsing existing tables as contained in Section(s) 5.2.1 (general use zoning districts), 5.2.2 (EDD general use zoning districts), and 5.2.3 (Conditional Zoning districts) into a centralized permitted use table. b. Collapse similar land uses into single categories. c. Eliminate the ‘exhaustive’ list of land uses, relying on definitions to outline what constitutes an acceptable land use. Please note if there is a specific land use staff is recommending not be permitted, same is listed with no corresponding designation denoting which general use zoning district it can be developed within. d. Modification of Article 5 Uses of the UDO to incorporate development standards and evaluation criteria for various land uses. e. Modification of Article 10 Definitions of the UDO to incorporate new and/or revised definitions of various land uses consistent with the proposed new table. f. Incorporate modifications to the Economic Development Hillsborough (EDH) districts as recommended by the BOCC late in 2016. This included expanded allowable land uses within the various EDH general use zoning districts. Staff will provide examples of the new formatting at the ORC meeting illustrating the new methodology. ORC review will continue at the July 11, 2018 meeting. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Consideration and approval will not create the need for additional funding for the provision of County services. Existing staff, included in the Departmental staffing budget, will accomplish the work required to process this amendment. RECOMMENDATION(S): The Planning Director recommends the Planning Board receive the update and provide additional feedback to staff on the proposed amendment(s) and revised review schedule. 3
