01/19/2006: "PC To Hold 2nd Hearing On ADUs This Friday, 9 am"

The Planning Commission (PC) will hold a second workshop this Friday (Jan 20th, 9 a.m., in the Court House) to take public testimony on a proposed ordinance that was worked out between the former BOCC and The Friends of the San Juans. The agreement was made without public participation, so for it to take effect, public hearings have to be held.

At the first hearing by the PC it became clear that things were not clear, and in an attempt to try and move forward, the PC asked the Planning Department to present a report to the Planning Commission members at the next (this Friday) meeting. Previous Story The report from staff will be in addition to the public input, and a discussion by the Commissioners as to what, if any, action should be taken on the proposed ordinance.

The Planning Commission can accept the proposed ordinance as is, they can suggest changes to it, or they can simply take no action -which would mean the ordinance would simply move forward to the County Council without any changes, additions or deletions. They could also recommend that the ordinance not be adopted, and that the current regulations remain as they are.
