Land use amendment hearing set |
|
October 12, 2016 |
The Boundary County Planning and Zoning
Commission will meet in special session to
review Application 16-111, which proposes
changes to the Boundary County Land Use
Ordinance 2015-2. The Boundary County Land Use
Ordinance applies to all lands in Boundary
County which lie outside the incorporated city
limits of Moyie Springs and Bonners Ferry.
The hearing, scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Thursday,
October 27, will specifically address proposed
updates to Section 2 - Definitions, Section 7 -
Conditional Use Permits, Section 11 -
Subdivisions, Section 12 - Variances, Section 18
- Amendments, and Section 20 - Parcel Divisions.
The proposed updates are both typographical
(correcting formatting and spelling/numbering
errors), and substantive.
Substantive changes are changes to actual
content which add or delete verbiage thus
altering the potential interpretation of an
ordinance. An example might be the addition to
an ordinance section to state "No dogs allowed."
Not hard to interpret, but if the words did not
exist before, the addition of these words (or
removal of them) would be considered a
substantive change.
Prior to the hearing the public is invited to
review these proposed changes online at http://www.boundarycountyid.org/node/66
or to get a summary of the proposed changes
visit the Planning & Zoning Administrator in
Room 16 at the County Courthouse.
Public participation in establishing Land Use
guidelines is vital to maintaining the intent of
the Comprehensive Plan established for Boundary
County. You are invited to attend the Public
Hearing and to share your views.
The special session will take place in the Main
Courtroom at the County Courthouse, 6452
Kootenai Street, Bonners Ferry. |
