AGENDA
1. Call to Order – 7:00 p.m.

 

REPORTS FROM COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
14. Update from Planning Commission on recommendations from the Joint Setback Study
Subcommittee

KM's comments:  Good evening all.

It will be interesting to hear what the county administrator will present regarding the planning commission's recommendations (which have not been recommended at all).  It will be a long meeting due to the Climax Rd. hearing and the fact that the setback committee issue is at the end of the agenda.  I hope you can attend to help monitor this situation.

Below is the entire zoning ordinance.  You can use your "find" prompt to search the ordinance using anything you like.  I used "60" and "planning commission."

 

Sec. 35-807 outlines procedure for requesting a zoning amendment. 

 

 An amendment is the only was of which I'm aware to change the zoning ordinance. Has anyone actually requested a zoning amendment from the setback committee?  If they had an application should have been submitted as specified in #1 below.   

 

Then, according to the ordinance, the planning commission after public notice and hearing would make recommendations to the BOS within 60 days as specified in #2 of Sec. 807 or the proposed amendment will be considered approved.

 

Next, after planning commission public notice, hearing and approval by action within 60 days or assumed approval after 60 days the BOS would have to go through public notice and public hearings before a decision is made.
