STAFF COMMENTS: These amendments were reviewed at the October
Planning Board meeting after being referred back to the Board by the Board of
Commissioners with a couple of changes. The Planning Board found a few errors and
requested that changes be made. The subcommittee charged with reviewing these
amendments did so, and the changes were being brought back to the Planning Board.
The proposed changes can be seen in red and underline text. The changes requested by
the Board of Commissioners can be seen as blue text. In Article IV, Section 4.4 (B 3), the
Board of Commissioners recommended that the process for expansion of non -conforming
uses remain at the discretion of the Planning Board and Board of Commissioners rather
than allowing the Board of Adjustment to handle such requests. In Article LY, Section
11.22 (D), the Board of Commissioners recommended a change concerning the number
of estimates required for replacement of damaged non -conforming signs.

11.22 (D) which limits the number of required estimates to two (2).

approving expansions of non -conforming uses.
