VP i--- P Ali Christian County Planning & Development Department Staff Report Proposed Amendments to the Christian County Zoning Regulations and Subdivision Regulations HEARING DATE: January 9,2020 ENCLOSURES: Draft Amended Article 3 of the Zoning Regulations The purpose of the proposed amendments to the Zoning Regulations is to add clarity and detail with regard to how our regulations address overlay districts. This includes: • Better defining an overlay district • Delineating the process of adopting an overlay district • Description of specific overlay districts The Planning and Zoning Commission has already approved related amendments to the Subdivision Regulations which are similarly intended to add clarity and specificity to improve both staff's and the Board's ability to implement the requirements which may be associated with development occurring in an overlay district. In turn, this will aid the Board and staff in making logical decisions which are understandable to the public. The proposed amended version of this Article contains areas where verbiage is to be removed, identified by strikethrough and other areas where verbiage is added and highlighted in yellow. Staff has only included the Section of the Article where changes are proposed. CHRISTIAN COUNTY ZONING REGULATIONS Article 3 - Districts and District Boundaries In its present state, Section 9 of this Article mentions that there is a Floodplain Overlay district but provides no context of what an overlay is or how they work. The proposed amendment provides currently missing information on the topic. 1 1 1 .1 0 The amendment maintains a basic updated description for the Floodplain Overlay and also adds a reference and description of the Urban Service Area district and the same for Transportation Overlay districts. Transportation Overlay Districts are not currently listed in Section 1 of this Article but staff feels they should be. We have operated for several years incorporating the requirements of the OTO Major Thoroughfare Plan (MTP) in our land use decisions as the County has agreed to do so. Requested Action: The Planning and Zoning Commission is recommending that the County Commission vote to amend Article 3 of the Zoning Regulations as presented and to formally adopt the areas covered in the MTP as an overlay.
