Applications are <br /> processed in a legislative manner (i.e., does not require sworn testimony or evidence) and <br /> decisions are based on the BOCC's determination that the project is consistent with the purpose <br /> and intent of the Comprehensive Plan. <br /> As this is a MPD-CZ proposal, a formal site plan is not required to be submitted. Applicants are <br /> required to produce a concept plan consistent with the provisions of Section 6.7 of the Unified <br /> Development Ordinance (UDO). The typical cadence for review is as follows: <br /> • First Action — Planning staff schedules a Neighborhood Information Meeting (NIM). <br /> Staff Comment — DONE. This meeting was held in an on-line format on <br /> September 15, 2020. Notes from this meeting are contained within Attachment 5. <br /> Please note, staff held a follow-up information meeting on October 28, 2020 to <br /> review modifications to the application package (i.e. name change, land use <br /> buffer/access management changes, etc.). <br /> • Second Action — The Planning Board reviews the application at a regular meeting and <br /> makes a recommendation to the BOCC. <br /> Staff Comment. The Planning Board completed its review of the Project at its <br /> November 4, 2020 regular meeting, voting unanimously to recommend approval. <br /> • Third Action — The BOCC receives the Planning Board recommendation and makes a <br /> decision at a previously advertised public hearing. <br /> Staff Comment— If the public hearing is held remotely, there is a 24-hour waiting <br /> period required before a decision can be effective per State legislation regarding <br /> virtual/remote meetings. The purpose of the 24-hour waiting period is to allow for <br /> submission of written comments. <br /> Per Section 2.9.2 (F) (3) of the UDO, mutually agreed upon conditions can be imposed as part <br /> this process only if they address: <br /> 1. The compatibility of the proposed development with surrounding property, <br /> 2. Proposed support facilities (i.e. roadways and access points, parking, pedestrian and <br /> vehicular circulation systems, screening and buffer areas, etc.) and/or <br /> 3. All other matters the County may find appropriate or the petitioner may propose. <br />
