- Permit Tracking Consultant <br />In order for the land development regulation process to function <br />efficiently and the concurrency process to be managed <br />effectively, the development review process will need to be more <br />fully automated. This will involve tracking all development <br />applications (site plans, subdivision, building permits, <br />rezonings, and all others) to constantly monitor facility capaci- <br />ty and demand for that capacity from new development proposals. <br />At present, there does not appear to be any usable off-the-shelf <br />computer software for this type of activity. While several <br />groups are in various stages of developing concurrency programs, <br />none has yet produced one, and any such program would require <br />substantial modification for use by any local government. The <br />. staff, therefore, proposes that the Board of County Commissioners <br />•;r, authorize staff to execute a request -for -proposals and proceed <br />with the consultant selection process for development of a <br />computerized permit tracking system. <br />- Public Participation <br />-Public participation is as important with land development <br />;;,regulation preparation as it was with development of the compre- <br />Ahensive plan. “For that reason it is necessary to establish a <br />process to ensure public participation in land development <br />{regulation preparation. <br />• - '•`+`?',°'' "'r"; -.a ...,•i- • .rte .a _ �•,r-....a �� .y_ <br />- In the past, the staff "has obtained t <br />• ..7 public input through <br />workshops when drafting ordinances and -regulations ej orksh <br />process has ::had ',the advantages of'tproviding a-sm 0.. <br />qdiscussing issues, .resolving technical problems, and identifying <br />It:ma'or policyconcerns.

These workshops could be held on a <br />weekly basis for the duration of the land development preparation <br />process. Since a numberof different ordinances will need to be <br />addressed through this process, each workshop can focus on one or <br />several components of the land development regulations. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />The staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: <br />1. approve the proposed format for the code of laws and <br />ordinances; and <br />2. approve a budget amendment adding $49,000 (state grant <br />funds) to the planning department budget and a budget <br />amendment transferring $49,000 from the salaries and <br />benefits line item to the other professional services <br />line item of the planning department budget; and <br />3. authorize the staff to negotiate a scope of services <br />and a contract (not exceeding $15,000) with Transporta- <br />tion Consulting Group, Inc. for the traffic component <br />of the land development regulations; and <br />DEC 9 <br />23 <br />MOO 78 pA,,c. 5Lu <br />
