MAR o 2 00.1 BOOK 88 FAGE 990 in a reasonable amount of time. The amendment format and language are patterned after the existing subdivision ordinance "bonding - out" section. SECTION 23: This amendment has not been formally reviewed by the PSAC but has been initiated by staff to ensure that any proposed sludge spreading use is approved by the Solid Waste Disposal District (SWDD) board, in accordance with SWDD requirements and policies. It should be noted that the Board of County Commissioners sits as the SWDD board. SECTION 24: This change was initiated by staff in response to concerns raised in the past by the Planning and Zoning Commission regarding the need for buffering between high density multi -family projects and single family residential areas. The proposed amendment would require new multi -family projects in the RM -8 or RM -10 zoning districts to provide a buffer when abutting property within a single family zoning district. SECTION 25: This amendment has not been formally reviewed by the PSAC or the Planning and Zoning Commission but is initiated by staff to be consistent with the recent elimination of other structural setbacks from easement (as opposed to property) boundaries. SECTION 26: This amendment has not been formally reviewed by the PSAC but has been initiated by staff to reduce current parking requirements for automotive repair uses. Staff's examination of current requirements in relation to requirements of other Jurisdictions indicates that a reduction is warranted. SECTION 27: This change has not been formally reviewed by the PSAC but has been initiated by staff to reduce current parking requirements for miniature golf/amusement uses. The reduction will bring the LDRs in line with the results of a special miniature golf/amusement use parking study, performed in the county. The referenced study was approved by the county traffic engineer several months.ago. SECTION 28: This amendment has not been formally reviewed by the PSAC but has been initiated by staff to recognize. reduced side, front, and rear yard setback requirements for legal nonconforming lots of record located in the RS -3 zoning district. SECTION 29: This amendment has not been formally reviewed by the PSAC but has been initiated by staff to expand a setback exemption for legal nonconforming lots of record, whereby setback requirements for any such lot would not reduce the buildable width of the lot to less than 301. Without this amendment, the exemption applies only to nonconforming corner lots. SECTION 30: This change was initiated by staff to insert into the nonconformities chapter (904) a helpful cross-reference to a setback regulation contained in the Zoning chapter (911). This cross-reference is an informational item only. SECTION 31: This amendment was not formally reviewed by the PSAC but has been initiated by staff to update current handicap parking regulations to reflect specific state and federal requirements. The existing parking LDRs contain mostly general references to state and federal handicap parking requirements. The proposed amendment is intended to provide more specifics within the county's LDRs which should provide more useful, easy to find handicap parking requirements for staff and the public. SECTION 32 (A & B): This pair of amendments has not been formally reviewed by the PSAC but has been initiated by staff to clarify the definition of a front yard and a side yard in relation to corner lots. The changes are consistent with current LDR wording and long-standing county application of yard designations for corner 10
