Draft 3 of the regulation update that will be reviewed during those hearings. Clean copies and Red-marked copies can be found in the online case folder (22-104558AM) The Red-marked copy of Draft 3 notes where there are modifications from Draft 2. You may still offer comments on Draft 3, however, they will not be addressed prior to the Planning Commission hearing.
Staff has also compiled a Comment-Response Log for Draft 2 containing the comments we received and how those were addressed.
The main focus of these changes has been on:
- Zoning Resolution Section 15 – Landscaping
- Zoning Resolution Section 39 – Wildfire Hazard Overlay District
- Transportation Design and Construction Manual – Chapter 3 Design and Technical Criteria
Staff has also done a review of the Zoning Resolution to change the title where the Wildfire Hazard Overlay District was referenced and other wording consistencies. Those changes are in the Table of Contents, Section 9 – Submittal Requirements, Section 11 – Board of Adjustment, and Section 42 – Drilling and Production of Oil and Gas.
