The board may, upon proper application, upon recommendation of the planning commission, or upon its own motion, and after public hearing and referral to and report from the planning commission, change by resolution the district boundary lines or zone classification as shown on the zoning map; provided, such change is duly considered in relationship to a comprehensive plan as required by the laws of the state.

(Res. 13678 (Vol. 29, page 346)(part): Ord. 62678 (Vol. 29, page 419) § 7.1, 1978).

The board may, upon recommendation of the planning commission, or upon its own motion, after public hearing and referral to and report from the planning commission, amend, delete, supplement, or change by resolution the regulations herein established; provided, such revision conforms to the laws of the state.

(Res. 13678 (Vol. 29, page 346)(part): Ord. 62678 (Vol. 29, page 419) § 7.2, 1978).

An application for a change of zone classification or district boundary lines submitted by the property owner, or his authorized representative, shall be filed with the director of planning at least twenty-one days before a regularly scheduled meeting of the planning commission. The petition shall be accompanied by a check made payable to the county in the sum set by ordinance by the board of county commissioners which shall be non-refundable and used to cover costs incurred in processing such application.

(Ord. 32982 (Vol. 35, page 384)(part), 1982: Res. 13678 (Vol. 29, page 346)(part): Ord. 62678 (Vol. 29, page 419) § 7.3, 1978).

It is the purpose and intent of Sections 19.62.050 through 19.62.090 to provide additional procedures in the manner of zoning reclassification so that the health, safety and general welfare and environmental amenities of the citizens of the county are insured as certain development occurs, and further, to prevent speculative holding of real property after rezoning.

(Res. 13678 (Vol. 29, page 346)(part): Ord. 62678 (vol. 29, page 400) § 2.23:1, 1978).

If, from the facts presented and finding in the report and recommendation of the planning commission, the board determines that the public health, safety, welfare and convenience will be best served by this reclassification or any portion thereof, the board may indicate its general approval in principle of the reclassification by the adoption of a "resolution of intent to rezone" said property. This resolution shall include any conditions, stipulations or limitations which the board may feel necessary to require in the public interest as a prerequisite to final action, including those provisions which the board may feel necessary to prevent speculative holding of the property after reclassification.

(Res. 13678 (Vol. 29, page 346)(part): Ord. 62678 (Vol. 29, page 400) § 2.23:2, 1978).

A site plan approved by the planning commission may be required and, if such requirement is made in the resolution of intent, the same shall be binding upon the property. Upon reclassification, the property having an approved site plan under these provisions shall be plainly marked as "subject to approved site plan" on the official zoning map, part of the comprehensive plan for the county. Any approved site plan may be released from the restrictions of such site plan by action of the board on recommendation from the planning commission. No other changes shall be made constituting a departure from the approved site plan except by amendment or variance as provided in this title unless the same has been released from the site plan.

(Res. 13678 (Vol. 29, page 346)(part) Ord. 62678 (Vol. 29, page 400) § 2.23:3, 1978).

Where a site plan is required pursuant of Section 19.62.060, it shall include:

A.

Location of existing and proposed buildings, structures, accesses, off-street parking and loading spaces and landscaping;

B.

Topography, existing and proposed;

C.

Mechanical roof facilities if subject property is so oriented as to become part of the view from adjacent properties;

D.

Architectural perspective, layout and all elevations drawn without exaggeration except where noted including locations, area and design of signs and all landscaping.

(Res. 13678 (Vol. 29, page 346)(part): Ord. 62678 (Vol. 29, page 400) § 2.23:4, 1978).

The fulfillment of all conditions, stipulations and limitations contained in the resolutions of intent to rezone on the part of the applicant, shall make this resolution a binding commitment on the board.

(Res. 13678 (Vol. 29, page 346)(part) Ord. 62678 (Vol. 29, page 401) § 2.23:5, 1978).

Upon completion of compliance action by the applicant, the board shall by ordinance effect such reclassification. The failure of the applicant to substantially meet any or all conditions, stipulations or limitations contained in a resolution of intent to rezone, including the time limit placed in the resolution, shall render said resolution null and void, unless an extension is granted by the board upon recommendation of the planning commission. In the event a reclassification is approved by the board but not on the basis of a resolution of intent to rezone, the board shall by ordinance effect such reclassification.

(Res. 13678 (Vol. 29, page 346)(part): Ord. 62678 (Vol. 29, page 401) § 2.23:6, 1978).
