One of the topics <br /> 184 of discussion is should the BOCC round out the various boards to have multiple interests so that boards do not get overly <br /> 185 weighed, to try to keep it diverse whether it's the Economic Development Advisory Board or Commission for the <br /> 186 Environment or Planning Board to try to round out the applicants. It will be a general discussion at that Work Session. <br /> 187 <br /> 188 Alexandra Allman: How does that work? Do they go to you and then you give them to us and we choose or does the <br /> 189 BOCC choose them, how does it work? <br /> 190 <br /> 191 Craig Benedict: They have never come to Planning Staff or the Planning Board. They have always been advertised by <br /> 192 the County Clerk's office and then decided by the BOCC. The Planning Board can,off line, take a look at the applications <br /> 193 that are always available through the Clerk's office and speak with one of your Commissioners if you think it viable. We <br /> 194 may formalize that. Some boards actually do review applications and make recommendations. <br /> 195 <br /> 196 Gio Mollinedo Arrived <br /> 197 <br /> 198 <br /> 199 AGENDA ITEM 9: PLANNING BOARD ANNUAL REPORT AND WORK PLAN: To discuss annual input form which informs the <br /> 200 BOCC of the past year's activities of advisory boards/commissions and assists in overall County work <br /> 201 planning. <br /> 202 PRESENTER: Craig Benedict, Planning Director <br /> 203 <br /> 204 Craig Benedict presented a PowerPoint presentation to the Planning Board members <br /> 205 <br /> 206 Kim Piracci: I'd like to go back to something you said. I don't see it written down but I think you said something about the <br /> 207 Board would have to agree on suggestions before we submit them to a developer? Can you tell me what that is and what <br /> 208 that means? <br /> 209 <br /> 210 Craig Benedict:We have used this process already with the Planning Board, so when we review conditions that have been <br /> 211 suggested to be imposed on a conditional zoning proposal, if one of those modification or conditions is to be amended,we <br /> 212 look for the Board to deliberate amongst themselves on what the amendment may be and vote internally on it. We don't <br /> 213 want to go to the developer and ask for conditions until we know that the Board wants to collectively say they want that <br /> 214 condition. This is a process we have used to try to get some sort of concensus from the Board and then ask either at that <br /> 215 meeting or at the next meeting if that is a condition that is agreeable by the applicant. <br /> 216 <br /> 217 Kim Piracci: Would that exclude one of us from making a suggestion on the spot? <br /> 218 <br /> 219 Craig Benedict: No, if for example you said Buc-ee's should have 50 EV electric charging stations instead of 50 gas <br /> 220 pumps,we would want to see if the rest of the Board thought that was a viable condition/amendment before we ask the <br /> 221 applicant if they would agree to something like that. It's up to you to present your rationale for your amended condition or <br /> 222 new condition and then if there is consensus amongst the Board that it can be one of your recommendations. <br /> 223 <br /> 224 Kim Piracci: Is that the sort of thing that happens before we meet with the developers or during? <br />
