Staff recommends approval of CA18-0002 (Ordinance 23-176).

Summary:

As part of the on-going updates to the Zoning Ordinance, staff has prepared amendments to the Zoning Map Amendments (Rezonings) section of the Code. The majority of amendments are grammatical in nature, but there is one substantive amendment. This is the addition of (c) under Sec. 23-4.6.3, Proffer of Conditions. The purpose in adding this subsection is establish requirements related to the dedication of land to the County to ensure that the dedicated land is usable and fairly valued. This subsection was added in response to concerns being raised about the value attributed to land dedications during the rezoning process and whether the County was receiving land that can be used for its intended purpose.
