8 <br /> 102 Lamar Proctor: The meeting process is there's a staff presentation on our items,the applicant presents, then there <br /> 103 are questions that will be entertained in sequential order from the Planning Board, and then we take public <br /> 104 comments,and then our deliberation and recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners following that <br /> 105 process. Since we have consolidated the items,we will, in essence, be discussing all three agenda items at once, so <br /> 106 we have to be very careful because, and I want to be clear, Mr. Stober,there's Agenda Item 7 is to review and make <br /> 107 recommendations to the BOCC on applicant-initiated amendments to the comprehensive plan to amend the FLUM, <br /> 108 the Future Land Use Map to expand a rural neighborhood activity node and to amend the text of Appendix F Land <br /> 109 Use and Zoning Matrix. That's the first item. Is that correct? <br /> 110 <br /> 111 Cy Stober: That is correct. <br /> 112 <br /> 113 Lamar Proctor: And so that would be to consider expanding, making conditional zoning that is under consideration <br /> 114 in this case applicable to the rural activity node. <br /> 115 <br /> 116 Cy Stober: So the staff presentation will detail our analysis,yes, at present the zoning application is <br /> 117 inconsistent with the Future Land Use Map as well as Appendix F, and we have a fairly thorough presentation on our <br /> 118 analysis on the existing inconsistency and the applicant's proposed remedy to it. <br /> 119 <br /> 120 Lamar Proctor: Okay, and the Agenda Item No. 8 is review and make recommendation to the BOCC on the <br /> 121 applicant-initiated amendments to the UDO pertaining to family care homes. And No. 9 is to review and make <br /> 122 recommendations to the BOCC on the zoning atlas amendment to rezone this particular parcel essentially from <br /> 123 Agricultural Residential to MPD-CD Master Plan Development Conditional District. <br /> 124 <br /> 125 Cy Stober: That's correct. On Item 8 there's a staff recommendation on this submitted application to resolve <br /> 126 some statutory inconsistencies or some inconsistencies of our LIDO with general statute that are independent of the <br /> 127 applicant's proposed amendments. <br /> 128 <br /> 129 Chris Johnston: Mr. Chairman, I would request that,you know,just looking at our meeting process,we have the <br /> 130 applicant presentation that's going to take place, `we're going to have the questions from the board and the public <br /> 131 comments, I would say if we can keep the questions from the board concise and not repeat each other and then for <br /> 132 the public comment request that the public listen to what everyone's saying and if someone is about to repeat what <br /> 133 'you've already said, in the interests of everyone here, if you have signed up to speak and that item has already been <br /> 134 covered, please state that you are reiterating what someone has already said,that will help us understand and gauge <br /> 135 where we are that will help move the process along and make sure that everyone can be heard. I would ask that we <br /> 136 not necessarily limit people to a lesser amount of time, but as long as we can all understand and work towards that, 1 <br /> 137 think that'll move this process along. <br /> 138 <br /> 139 Lamar Proctor: Okay,thank you. Any other comments? <br /> 140 <br /> 141 Marilyn Carter: Mr. Chair, I would also recommend following the process that the Board of County Commissioners <br /> 142 uses for public comment', I believe it's 1 hours in a given meeting. They typically do it up front at the beginning of <br /> 143 their meetings, but we're allowed 1 hour to tonight and if we find that as we may that we're going to reach our 10 p.m. <br /> 144 time limit for the meeting that we follow into the next meeting with continued public comment and our deliberations. <br /> 145 <br /> 146 Cy Stober: So, Ms. Carter and the board,that is for general public comments that are addressed to the board <br /> 147 on unspecified agenda items or topics. For agenda items, and particularly for those going to public hearing,which <br /> 148 this would, there's no limit on the number of comments or the duration of the comment period. <br /> 149 <br /> 150 Marilyn Carter: Okay, in that case, in keeping with the policy then, I would agree. <br /> 151 <br />
