2Z DRAFT L4 <br />1 brought up in August. He stated that this amendment is for subdivisions that are 5 new <br />2 lots or more and there is also another item - if an applicant uses the lower more restrictive <br />3 pattern than they would not have to go through the PD rezoning process. He stated that if <br />4 the subdivision is large then they still have to go through the PD process. <br />Vice-Chair Schofield asked if there were any questions. <br />8 A motion was made by Commissioner Barry Jacobs, seconded by Commissioner <br />9 Carey to consider a motion to accept the Administration's recommendation to refer <br />10 the proposed amendments to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be <br />11 returned to the BOCC no later than January 26, 2004. <br />12 <br />13 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />14 <br />15 b, Amend Article 22 (Definitions), Article 4.1 (Establishment of Use Regulations), <br />16 Article 4.3 (Permitted Use Table), and Article 6.29.4 (Additional Requirements for <br />17 Certain Subdivisions) of the Zoning Ordinance; and Section II (Definitions) and <br />18 Section III-D-3 (Preliminary Plat Approval) of the Subdivision Regulations to <br />19 require subdivisions with more than 20 lots in rural designated areas to follow a <br />20 planned development/special use permit/zoning atlas amendment process. <br />21 <br />22 Craig Benedict said that at the November 5°i meeting the Board of County <br />23 Commissioners approved the Growth Management Standards with the condition that the <br />24 lot threshold be re-advertised and reconsidered with the 20-lot threshold for projects in the <br />25 rural designated areas. He stated that subdivisions have different impacts depending on <br />26 their location. The assumption for a rural road is that the average high speed is 55 mph <br />27 and there is the intent of enhanced rural character. He stated that a 20-lot threshold <br />28 would reduce the point at which projects would be brought forward for re-zoning and a <br />29 Class A Special Use Permit. <br />30 <br />31 Vice-Chair Schofield asked fog questions from Planning Board. <br />32 <br />:33 Vice-Chair Schofield any questions from audience. <br />34 <br />35 A motion was made by Commissioner Halkiotis, seconded by Commissioner Jacobs <br />36 to accept the Administration's recommendation to refer the proposed amendments <br />37 to the Planning Board for a recommendation to be returned to the BOCC no later <br />38 than December 9, 2003. <br />39 <br />40 VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />41 <br />42 3.
