Public Hearing/Adoption—November 2013 ( last Council session) if extension is not required
The Committee suggested staff brief the Council prior to PZED (in early June) to prep them for PZED.
The Committee/staff needs to approach the congressional delegation. The committee representative for Congresswoman Edwards suggested this occur after March. Staff will draft a letter from the Chairman to the delegation next week as a “heads-up” and contact the legislative staff to brief them first. It was suggested that JBA and DOD also be there when the delegation is briefed. The JBA Wing Commander affirmed this meets their objective to show that they are working with us on policy and acquisition.
Staff directed the committee to a PowerPoint presentation explaining the legislative model for the MIOZ. The model will depend upon the focus of the regulations--staff is recommending a new section be added to the zoning ordinance which was later affirmed by some committee members. Staff presented some of the issues what will need to be addressed.
The Chairman reminded staff that the County Attorney needs to be involved since the changes will apply to numerous sections in the zoning ordinance and County Code.
Staff reviewed the JLUS and MIOZ recommendations.
The Chair suggested adopting the JLUS goals by reference; the Committee may want to include other goals.
A Committee member pointed out that the last two recommendations may not be consistent regarding “Allow existing uses to remain” and “Retail and additional residential development are not encouraged in APZ1.” It was suggested new language could be added (If not in conflict with…” to preclude conflicts in the goals. Staff will clarify the goals.
There was discussion and general agreement in the committee regarding the inclusion of economic development strategies in the MIOZ. The costs will need to be determined. JBA indicated they want compatible, vibrant development.
