Update on Revised Zoning Ordinance:
Mr. Powers stated that the Planning Commission had their public hearing last fall and sent their recommendation of approval to the Board of Supervisors in November, 1998. He stated that the Board of Supervisors asked Planning Department staff to make presentations on May 24th.
Mr. Powers stated that at their July 12th meeting, the Board of Supervisors held a work session to discuss the County's revised zoning ordinance. The Board requested the Planning Commission to further review the following:
- Look into possibility of a large animal veterinarian use in Agriculture (A-1);
- Livestock-does not include horses, oxen, emu, livestock, beasts of burden, pets, etc. needs better definition, i.e. pets-farm, pets-household;
- Ordinance does not designate areas for libraries:
- Prefer 100' road frontage vs. 200';
- Final Revised Zoning Ordinance-add tabs to make it more user friendly; and
- Next version of the Revised Zoning Ordinance-look at option of sending just revised page changes, instead of a new draft of the entire ordinance.
- Review lot size. The Board of Supervisors discussed 1 to 2-acre minimum lot size.
Members discussed each of the above seven items.
On motion by Ed Green, seconded by Don Linkous and carried by a vote of 7 - 2, (Jim Martin, Harry Neumann, opposing) recommend that the 1.5 acre minimum lot size for A-1 and RR remain in the proposed revised Zoning Ordinance as recommended by the Planning Commission.
