L. Contract w/Solin & Assoc. for preparation of County Sign_Ord. <br />The Board reviewed analysis and recommendation of Planning <br />Director Keating: <br />TO: The Honorable Members DATE: June 24, 1985 FILE: <br />of the Board of <br />County Commissioners <br />AUTHORIZATION TO ENTER <br />SUBJECT: INTO A CONTRACT FOR <br />PREPARATION OF A COUNTY <br />SIGN ORDINANCE <br />FROM: Robert M. Keating, AICP'- REFERENCES: <br />Planning & Development Director <br />It is requested that the information presented herein be <br />given formal consideration by the Board of County Commission- <br />ers at their regular meeting of July 10, 1985. <br />DESCRIPTION & CONDITIONS <br />Last year, the Board of County Commissioners authorized the <br />staff to retain Solin & Associates to revise the County's <br />zoning code. Since that time, the consultant has prepared <br />drafts of the residential zoning districts section, the PRD <br />section, the regulations for specific land uses section, the <br />definitions section, the administrative and decisionmaking <br />bodies section, the general provisions section, the site plan <br />review and approval procedures section, and the nonresiden- <br />tial section of the new zoning code. All of these have been <br />reviewed by the staff and workshopped with the public. Other <br />than the nonresidential districts section, each of. the above <br />referenced parts of the zoning code has been formally adopted <br />by the Board of County Commissioners. <br />One part of the zoning code which has not yet been revised is <br />the sign ordinance section. Although the sign ordinance was <br />included among the elements proposed by the consultant, it <br />was not among the sections for which the County contracted. <br />For that reason, the staff is now requesting that the Board <br />of County Commissioners approve the proposed contractual <br />agreement with Solin & Associates. <br />As noted on the attached proposal letter, the cost of this <br />work would total $6,900.. Currently, the Planning Department <br />has an unencumbered balance of $14,500 in its Other Contrac- <br />tual Services budget account, funds which have been earmarked <br />for consultant services for zoning code preparation. There- <br />fore, the Planning Department has adequate funds in its <br />current budget to accommodate the project's cost. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANALYSIS <br />Like the preparation of other sections of the zoning code, <br />there are two principal alternatives for preparing a new sign <br />ordinance. One would be preparation by a consultant, while <br />23 <br />JUL 101985 BOOK. -L D':GE 4 <br />
