attributes for targeted research and development industry and applied light
manufacturing.
7. Rural Buffer Clustering: Address clustering in the Rural Buffer to allow smaller lot
sizes while maintaining a minimum density of 2 units per acre
8. Legislative Changes: Amend regulations as necessary in response to legislative
changes at the State level
9. Streamline Regulations: Continue to streamline regulations where possible
10. 2014 BOCC Retreat: Any priorities that emerge at the January 2014 BOCC retreat
Emerging Issues Identified by the Planning Board and Planning Staff for 2014:
1. Rural Enterprises: Continue to expand rural enterprises by completing work on
"Agricultural Support Enterprises" and Home Occupation standards. Determine
need to address water& sewage disposal issues in the Rural Activity Nodes to
encourage development in these nodes.
2. Streamlining: Streamline the project approval/public hearing process by revising
the existing quarterly public hearing process.
3. Emergency Access: Work with appropriate staff/departments to better ensure
properties can be reached by emergency personnel (e.g., driveway width and
clearance, bridge weight limit signage and sufficiency to allow a fire truck to pass,
gate width, curve radii sufficient for emergency vehicles).
4. Mass Gathering/Special Events: Revisions to UDO regarding mass gathering and
special events (must wait until after Emergency Services/Attorney's Office enacts a
Mass Gathering Ordinance)
5. Pre-zoning for Economic Development Projects: Continue to "prezone" areas
where possible to focus growth in appropriate areas with consistent land uses,
thereby improving the review and approval process.
6. Adult Entertainment: County should adopt an adult entertainment ordinance that is
consistent with State and Federal laws.
7. Nuisance Ordinance: Consider a nuisance ordinance for Economic Development,
Commercial, and Commercial-Industrial Transition Activity Nodes and areas
adjacent to these land use classifications to "protect" these areas slated for
economic development projects.
8. Transportation Issues: Need for better public transit in rural areas, including senior
citizen mobility, and "transit oriented development."
9. Affordable Housing: On-going need for affordable housing opportunities in the
county.
