What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

All right. County Attorney.
at your January 11th meeting, uh, the board directed that a moratorium around uh for development around airports be adopted so that incompatible development does not occur. during the time that airport zoning regulations will be drafted and adopted to protect the airports within the county from incompatible land uses. Um since that time Your the moratorium ordinance was drafted, it was advertised, it was
it was heard by the Planning commission on February third. Um, though at that meeting the staff requested that the public hearing be continued so that a few tweaks could be made. Uh at this point, the maps have been drawn for Um the airports, um, the moratorium areas are um there are
Or different classifications, height obstruction area maps. Part seventy seven surface areas, noise abatement areas. and the runway protection zones. Um, it would and since those maps are now available to the public, it would be my recommendation to the board. that when the ordinance is brought to you Um that
The moratorium applies to any development that has not been filed as of today's date when those maps are available. Um and if that's the wishes of the board, that's the way the ordinance will be drafted to be brought back to you. But under the pending underpending ordinance doctrine since the maps are now produced and people Have knowledge of where those areas are gonna be doesn't mean you can't couldn't bring pull back from
that at your final hearing. But if any applications are filed between now And when that's a good thing. and when the ordinance is adopted And you choose to use the pending ordinance doctrine, they would be on hold. they would not be able to go forward. They would be h on hold until your moratorium ends. Otherwise I'm I'm afraid that you're gonna ha start to have applications, which it was the whole reason that the
The moratori that the board asked for the moratorium.
We made that mistake when we did billboards. We let it wall the whole time in the moratorium we could accept applications. Right. We got hundreds. Think about it in
pre-app. Yeah, preaps on that one. Yeah, I would I would like a motion that that's the way that that's the way you want the ordinance to come back to you.
All right, so moved.
Second.
Okay, so we have first and a second to accept the attorney's recommendation. Where's Ron?
Went to yet another meeting. Okay.
Um all right, so any more discussion? All right, and we can always fix it if there's some somebody gets.
You can pull back from that position at the hearing, but at this point protects us a little bit. Yeah.
All in favor? Aye. Opposed? All right, four zero.
Thank you very much. That's all I have.
