The Planning Board will review this application at its regular <br /> meeting on August 7, 2024. <br /> • THIRD ACTION — The BOCC receives the Planning Board and staff recommendations <br /> at an advertised public hearing and makes a decision on the application. <br /> STAFF COMMENT: The public hearing will be scheduled following the issuance of <br /> a recommendation from the Planning Board. <br /> Public Notification: In accordance with Section 2.8.7 of the UDO, notices of the Planning Board <br /> meeting were mailed via first class mail to property owners within 1,000 ft. of the subject parcel. <br /> These notices were mailed on July 24, 2024, 14 days before the meeting.
