Resolution of Intent re: Comprehensive Plan Boundary Adjustment
BODY
SUBJECT/PROPOSAL/REQUEST: Consideration of Draft Resolution of Intent re: Comprehensive Plan Boundary Adjustment
ITEM TYPE: Regular Action Item
STAFF CONTACT(S): Foley, Walker, Catlin, Davis, Cilimberg, McClintic
PRESENTER (S): Wayne Cilimberg
LEGAL REVIEW: Yes
REVIEWED BY: Thomas C. Foley
BACKGROUND: At the June 3 Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board discussed its prior decision to consider the possibility of expanding the County's designated growth area to include an 82-acre property near the interchange of Interstate 64 and U. S. 29 as was included in the legal advertisement for the June 10 public hearing on the comprehensive plan. This consideration has been based on the Board's recognition of the important strategic advantages of this particular location in the County and their concern regarding the availability of sufficient designated and zoned land to accommodate target industry enterprises.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Economic Prosperity: Foster an environment that stimulates diversified job creation, capital investments, and tax revenues that support community goals
DISCUSSION: Because consideration of an expansion to include this property was included in the legal advertisement, the Board will take comment on that option during its June 10 public hearing. However, Board members expressed interest in the possibility of separating the assessment of a potential expansion area south of the interchange area from the adoption of the Comprehensive Plan to allow for a more thorough review process. The Board directed staff to come back with a Resolution of Intent for consideration that would establish the intent and parameters of a review process. A draft Resolution of Intent is attached for the Board's consideration and further direction.
BUDGET IMPACT: No budget impact from this Resolution of Intent is anticipated.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board provide modifications to the draft resolution as desired and approve the Resolution of Intent for immediate action.
