Description:

During the first study session, the Commissioners discussed land use approval expiration dates and whether the expiration of the business license as the hard date on which land use approval expires is satisfactory. Community Development Director Keith Gardner informed the meeting that the land use approval expiration date currently falls on the date the business license expires and that is the only notice. The commissioners agreed that the land use approval expiration date should continue to fall on the date the relevant business license expires.

Another study session followed, examining whether some zoning districts which are very similar in size or development standards should be consolidated. Notably the Rural Living 2.5 acre RL zoning was compared to the Residential Family 2.5 acre minimum RS-E zoning as they are very similar in most ways. It was soon noted, however, that the color coding used on the maps was confusing and needed to be amended.

Vice-Chair Alex Garcia agreed with Commissioner Jim Krushat that the colors used to illustrate the zoning areas need to be more contrasting. Community Development Director Keith Gardner was asked to address a future meeting with a more concrete plan as to which zones could be consolidated.

The question of consolidating zoning districts will be further discussed at a future meeting.
