BACKGROUND: On November 6, 2019, the Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution of intent to consider amending the zoning ordinance regulations for fill and waste areas. Over the next year, staff worked on the ordinance revision with input from stakeholders. On September 16, 2020, the Board adopted ZTA201900007. At the time of adoption, the Board requested that the impact of the ordinance be evaluated in one year. However, due to a lack of applications the evaluation was not done. It has been approximately three years since Article 5.1.28 has been amended. During that time period, there have been two clearances submitted and 22 complaints investigated. The County began seeking feedback in September 27, 2023 regarding these regulations and the survey closed on October 20, 2023. The County received a total of 67 responses via the survey and emailed comments.
STRATEGIC PLAN: Safety & Well-Being - Nurture a safe and healthy community.
BUDGET IMPACT: At this time, the impact of activity related to the ordinance on current workload is minimal and is being absorbed by current staffing. Staff will continue to monitor the workload and budgetary impacts of this regulation.
RECOMMENDATION:
Recommendation
Staff recommends that the Board receive the program update. Staff will continue monitoring complaint numbers and budgetary impacts
