Code Amendment Recommendations
The Department is
recommending a series of code amendments to the Planning Commission for
consideration. Most amendments are minor in nature and can be classified
as ‘housekeeping’ that are necessary to address such things
as typographical errors, inadvertent additions or omissions, and to provide
clarity or consistency.
The following list
highlights some of the more substantive proposed changes:
- Addition of definitions
for remodel, repair and replacement.
- Modification of
‘substantial improvement’ as it relates to the Flood Damage
Prevention provisions as well as amendments to the Flood Damage Prevention
provisions themselves relating to limits on construction, reconstruction
or repair within the designated floodway.
- Inclusion of process
and approval criteria for UGA boundary modification proposals.
- Clarification
of County Commissioner options relating to legislative proposals.
- Codification of
Alger Community Plan provisions relating to development, landscaping,
etc.
- Clarification
of Rural Business expansion potential, requirements, and formula for
calculation.
- Addition of requirements
necessary to comply with State law which requires the County to assume
jurisdiction of conversion permits.
