PAST ACTIONS <br />Besides the Clontz Amendment request, the Board of County Commissioners has considered <br />residential development projects on agriculturally designated land near the urban service area several <br />other times. Depicted in Figure 2, the urban service area is the portion of the countyl urban <br />development is directed and where public services are provided at a level sufficient to support urban <br />development. <br />Figure 2 <br />When the Comprehensive Plan was found in compliance in 1991, the county added a policy calling <br />for the study and mapping of all existing and planned utility lines located in road rights-of-way that <br />served as urban service area boundaries. The recommendations of that study called for expansion <br />of the urban service area and redesignation of land from AG -1, Agricultural (up to 1 unit/5 acres), <br />to R, Rural Residential (up to 1 unit/acre), in many areas of the county, including the west side of <br />58 Avenue. The 1993 county initiated land use amendment to implement those recommendations <br />was rejected by the Board of County Commissioners at the Transmittal Public Hearing. <br />livalnation and Appm& t RqHor <br />In late 1995, the county began a major evaluation and appraisal of the comprehensive plan. As a <br />result of that process, the county adopted an Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) on December <br />17, 1996. That report determined that no changes to the urban service area boundaries were needed <br />at that time. On March 17, 1998, the county adopted plan amendments based on the EAR <br />recommendations (including retaining the existing urban service area boundaries). <br />October 9, 2000 <br />4 <br />
