OF THE SITE PLAN ORDINANCE THROUGH: Stan Boling :4.15, Chief, Current Developmen FROM: Robert E. Wiegers/� Staff Planner REFERENCES: subdivision BWIEG2 It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their regular meeting of February 16, 1988. DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS: At the direction of the Board of County Commissioners, staff has been reviewing over the last several months existing regulations concerning sidewalk placements adjacent to and within new sub- divisions. The proposed changes address the Board's expressed concern regarding the need for having more intense sidewalk development along major roads with less intense development along minor roads, and the need to better specify current county standards with regards to sidewalk provisions. The proposed changes are intended to implement and coordinate with the County's future sidewalk and bikeway plan. ANALYSIS: Section 1 This section concerns the future provision of sidewalks adjacent to and within new subdivision developments. Sub- section (1) of the proposed amendment requires that sidewalk improvements coincide with the adopted sidewalk and bikeway plan as well as all applicable zoning district regulations. Subsection (2) of the proposed amendment expands the current County subdivision regulations concerning the provision of sidewalks along Thoroughfare Plan roads, school access routes and the location of sidewalks on interior local streets. Provisions are also made in this amendment for situations where sidewalks are not required. Subsection (3) and (4) relate to existing regulations which have not been changed by this ordinance. 2. Section 2 This section revises the existing County Site Plan Ordinance to require that sidewalk improvements conform to the adopted sidewalk and bikeway plan as well as all applicable zoning district regulations.
