F_ tiJ 2 1991 BOOK FA,E 6 ANALYSIS AND ALTERNATIVES: • BOARD ACTION Pursuant to recently enacted state legislation, the Board of County Commissioners is to hold two public hearings to consider the proposed LDR amendments. At its initial hearing, the Board is to consider the proposed amendments and receive public input. At its second hearing (scheduled for Wednesday, February 27, 1991 at 5:01 p.m.), the Board is to receive any additional public input and take final action. • PROPOSED AMENDMENTS A total of 34 separate amendments are proposed in sections 1-34 of the proposed ordinance (see attachment #2). Of the 34 sections, sections 1-32 are staff initiated changes; sections 33 and 34 are related to the Barkett petition. None of the 34 changes are considered by staff to be controversial or to be of such significance that special workshops are required. As indicated previously in this report, the Professional Services Advisory Committee has reviewed the changes, with the exception of section 32, and considered all of the changes as minor in nature. • Staff -Initiated Changes (Sections 1-33) The following is a description of each staff -initiated change, by section. The exact language of each section is contained in the proposed ordinance, attachment #2. 1. Section 1: The current "new" LDR definition of open space does not allow any open space credit for waterbodies, despite the fact that planned developments (Chapter 915) allow up to 30% open space credit for waterbodies. The proposed change amends the definition of open space to allow up to 30% open space credit for waterbodies, in keeping with the planned development treatment of open space. 2. Section 2: The wording of a subsection heading is corrected. 3. Section 3: A typographical error is corrected. 4. Section 4: The "Relationship of the Zoning Districts with Land Use Map" table is clarified to show that only the appropriate conservation zoning district (Con -1 or Con -2) is allowed in the appropriate conservation land use classification (C-1 and C-2). 5. Section 5: The "Uses" table for the agricultural and rural residential districts is changed to: a. Correct a use heading from "Small Animal Specialty Farms" to "Specialty Farms"; and b. To better specify the various transmission tower height categories as already reflected in Chapter 971, Specific Land Use Criteria. 6. Section 6: The "uses" text and table for the office and commercial districts are changed to: a. Require commercial uses and activities to be located only in an enclosed area unless specifically allowed otherwise. This corresponds to existing policy that has been implemented under both the old and new LDRs. 4 E _
