Mark McCormack, Director of Planning & Zoning: 

Proposed Text Amendments to Zoning & Subdivision Control Ordinances

Per McCormack- All these proposed below received  a favorable recommendation from the 7 members present at PC. These match the state law language more closely. Most of these have to do with access to roads. They will also reduce applicant costs and reduce the number of public hearings required. Common shared access points are to have agreements on maintenance. State maintained routes have to have both local and state approvals. 24 and 305D are similar in several points. Tech review will handle many of these cases. Conditional use criteria for approval were modified. Variances were modified to be similar to IN code. The section on unique conditions of the property was addressed. They defined practical difficulty. They have section on use variances now. Use variance runs with the land itself.  No public comment when PUBLC COMMENT was opened on either.

Ordinance to Amend Articles 3 and 24 of the Zoning Ordinance. Commissioners approved both.

Ordinance to Amend Articles 3, Section 305D of the Subdivision Control Ordinance. Commissioners Approved.
