Tan, Urbanizing Area <br />Any project above 40 lots in a `green' Rural Area (see map) and above 79 lots in a `tan' <br />Urbanizing Area would have the option to pursue rezoning. Rezoning would not necessarily, <br />and in most cases would not, include any change in land use density. Projects would normally <br />be filed for planned development in the rural areas based on design (reduction in lot size and <br />increased open space, type of units, etc.) and whether or not the project as proposed by the <br />developer advances the County's goals in housing and environmental related areas. <br />There are currently no projects `in the pipeline' (i.e. at Preliminary Plan submittal stage) that <br />would be required to follow. eith~r.of the proposed processes. Additionally, no project has been <br />submitted for concept approval that would be required, by these proposed amendments, to <br />follow either process. - <br />The attached amendments should be reviewed by the Board members prior to the August 25, <br />2003 public hearing so that pertinent questions may be asked and reflected in the official <br />minutes of the meeting. This will allow staff to perform research prior to the return of the <br />amendments to the Planning Board for a recommendation back to the BOCC. <br />The proposed Growth Management System amendments above were discussed at the August <br />6, 2003 Planning Board Meeting. <br />Subdivision Regulation Changes: <br />A. Sets the new criteria for determining whether a proposed Preliminary subdivision is to be <br />processed as a Planned Development or a Major Subdivision Class A Special Use or under <br />existing ordinance provisions. The determining factors are location (whether inside or <br />outside of Primary Service Area of Water and Sewer Boundary Agreement) and the number <br />of lots proposed. <br />Zoning Ordinance Changes <br />A. Amends the Permitted Use Table by adding new uses to be identified as either a Planned <br />Development or Major Subdivision Class A Special Uses under both the H and S categories <br />B. Amends Table of Contents Article VIII to create a new Special Use identified as 8.8.29 with <br />corresponding subheadings and nomenclature identified in the proposed amendment. <br />C.
