82 <br /> Planning Director Recommendation <br /> Approve the Statement of Consistency and draft Ordinance as presented. <br /> The amendments remain unchanged from the Planning Board's May motion and the missing <br /> pages' relevance and impact were presented by the Director at that meeting — the amendment <br /> language was simply not included in the packet for review by the Board. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: None known. The proposed amendments will reduce staff administrative <br /> tasks currently associated with subdivision applications and are intended to encourage more open <br /> space protection through changes to administrative processes. This may result in more open <br /> space dedications that will need to be verified by staff on a regular schedule but open space <br /> maintenance and protection, in accordance with application approval, will ultimately be private <br /> financial responsibility. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Planning Director recommends the Board: <br /> 1. Review and discuss the proposed UDO text amendments to the one page that was omitted <br /> (Attachment 1); <br /> 2. Consider the Planning Director's recommendation; and <br /> 3. Make a recommendation to the BOCC to approve the Statement of Approval and Consistency <br /> (Attachment 3) and the draft Ordinance to amend the UDO (Attachment 2), consistent with <br /> the motion that was approved at the May 6 meeting, in time for the July 9, 2026, BOCC <br /> meeting. <br />
