Public testimony will be taken – Action requested SUMMARY The Land Use Code is a living document. While some amendments are large in scope (such as the recently completed Agricultural amendments), other amendments are more discrete. County staff, members of the public, and decision makers will occasionally identify areas in the Code that are ripe for amendment but not in need of urgent change. We like to package these possible changes into one docket in order to achieve a higher level of efficiency in reviewing and approving these proposals. IDENTIFIED AMENDMENTS Staff has identified nine topics which could be included in an upcoming clarification and “clean-up” docket. Italicized words indicate Land Use Code language – if words are stricken, staff is proposing to delete these words from the Code; if words are underlined, it means staff is proposing to add these words to the Code.
