Good Afternoon

 

One task underway is to introduce the Smart Growth Initiatives into the County Review Processes.  Here is a listing of the County Review forms required to be submitted by applicants that are going through review processes of the County.  Let me hasten to note, that it is not common for any one developer to do all of these, but the complete review process from the original request for a Comprehensive Plan change to someone moving into a house built on the ultimate site will likely have been through most of these processes.

 

1.  Comprehensive Plan Amendment application

2.  Mining

3.  Certificate of Use

4.  Single Family or Duplex Residents

5.  Surface Water Flows

6.  Planned Development Application which includes:

            Development of Regional Impact

            Development of Community Impact (Major and Minor, and amendments to them)

            Private Recreational Facility Planned Development (in Overlay areas)

7.  (Special) Application for Public Hearing for DRI

8.  Application for Public Hearing on Zoning Action

 

The Smart Growth recommendations should have as one outcome whatever reforms to these review processes as appropriate.  To expedite my review of these processes, I prepared a “Master List” of County policies relevant to reviews, and included the Smart Growth ones where they are completely new.  I also made whatever nuance changes that were appropriate to existing policies.  That master list is attached.  It will undergo EXHUASTIVE internal discussion.

 

I also requested Dan Moser to look into whatever checklists the Health Department uses.  Thanks to him, we have received a “Master Subject List” attached for your information.

 

The items are provided as back up for next Wednesday’s meeting, and Happy New Year.
