INFORMATION:
BACKGROUND: In a joint work session to discuss the Rural Areas Implementation on June 3, 2009, staff was given
direction to proceed with two zoning ordinance text amendments containing criteria under which some churches / church
expansions and home occupations would be permitted as by -right uses in the Rural Areas, in order to allow staff to focus
on the upcoming Comprehensive Plan review. The Board stipulated that limitations on the size, scale, and intensity of
uses were important considerations.
STRATEGIC PLAN:
Goal One: Enhance the Quality of Life for all Citizens
Goal Two: Protect the County's Natural Resources
DISCUSSION_ Currently, churches, church expansions, and Home Occupation Class B uses are required to have
approval of a special use permit in the Rural Areas zoning district. Standard conditions for these uses have been routinely
employed to address anticipated impacts. With appropriate supplemental regulations to address the scale and intensity of
these uses, small -scale churches, church expansions and Home Occupations Class B uses could become by -right uses in
the Rural Areas.
BUDGET IMPACT: None
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Board adopt the attached Resolutions of Intent for Churches and Home Occupation Class B.
