Planning Commission to review changes this Friday
By Stan Matthews
County Communications Program Manager
The San Juan County Council will hear its first formal staff presentation on a set of proposed amendments to the appeal provisions of the Unified Development Code at its August 24, 2010 meeting.
The purpose of these amendments is to improve consistency between the UDC and the County Charter. These amendments were carried over from 2009, and will be a part of the first set of UDC amendments to be considered by the Council in 2010.
Other changes that will be considered in the year’s first set of UDC amendments include proposed changes to SJCC Chapter 18.30 concerning regulations for Land Use Districts; amending SJCC Chapter 18.90 to consider requests related to legislative actions and site-specific redesignations; and amending SJCC Chapter 18.20, to update the definitions associated with the proposed changes.
A copy of the work plan which summarizes all proposed UDC amendments can be viewed at https://www.sanjuanco.com./cdp/default.aspx.
The proposed amendments to Chapter 18.90 will be heard by the Planning Commission on August 20 in the Council Chambers. Hearings for other items have not been scheduled.
Notice of each hearing will be published in the legal section of the Journal and Sounder and can be provided electronically on request.
The August 24th Council meeting will take place in the Council Hearing Room in the Legislative building, at 55 Second Street in Friday Harbor.
