1. Section 1: [Amend 901.03] This proposed change is the result of discussion occurring at a PSAC meeting. By deleting the last sentence of the current definition of "Breakaway Wall or Frangible Wall", the definition will be made to better fit the actual county stormwater management regulations. The sentence to be deleted does not apply to all breakaway wall regulations and thus, makes the current definition too narrow. The proposed change will correct this problem. 2. Section 2: [Amend 902.12] Several changes are proposed throughout this section so that the section more specifically addresses both types of amendments that the section is intended to cover: amendments to the zoning atlas and to the LDRs. The proposed changes are intended to make the necessary distinctions between these two types of amendments in terms of review criteria, and notice requirements. 3. Section 3: [Amend 904.05(3)] This change clarifies that additions to non -conformities specifically include development and redevelopment of a site having site -related non - conformities. 4. Section 4: [Amend 910.07(1)(a) and (b)] These changes are the result of a recommendation by the PSAC, with which staff concurs, to amend the way in which concurrency requirements are presently applied to various steps in the subdivision development and review process. The proposed changes would treat preliminary plats as "conceptual" types of plans that would only require a conditional concurrency review. Land development permits, which actually allow subdivision improvements (such as roads and utilities) to be constructed, would not be issued until an initial concurrency certificate is issued. No concurrency review would be applied to final plat applications because, according to the County Attorney's Office, final plat approval is a "rubber stamp" type of legal review and does not require any concurrency review over and above the initial concurrency review performed previously in the review process. In addition, "change of use" requests are specifically addressed as requiring an initial concurrency certificate (present policy applied by staff). 5. Section 5: [Amend 911.11(4)] This change would specifically address the "packing house" use which was inadvertently omitted from this section during the September 1990 LDR adoption. The proposed change conforms to the old LDR IL (Industrial, Light) and IG (Industrial, General) zoning district requirements and the new LDR Chapter 971 specific land use criteria regulations pertaining to packing houses in the IL district. With this change, packing houses would again be allowed as administrative permit uses in the IL district, and would again be permitted uses in the IG district. 6. Section 6: {Amend 913.07(6)(F)] This change, proposed by the County Attorney's Office, would implement existing County policy to have conservation easement language appear on plats of projects where conservation easements are required. 7. Section 7: [Amend 913.09(5)(D)] This change has not been considered by the PSAC or Planning and Zoning Commission. However, in staff's opinion, the change is minor and is in harmony with Board policy regarding extensions of contracts for required improvements and corresponding security instruments. The present wording of this section allows a 2 year extension for sidewalk construction but requires Board approval of an extension request. The proposed change would allow staff (the public works and community development directors) to approve extensions without having to schedule such routine business for Board consideration and action. It should be noted that staff is already authorized to extend contracts and security instruments for more Major improvements such as roads. 5 PUOa�� F',,.�E 8, CIL
