Background:
Based on the structure of some land development regulations, there is some potential for property owners to split parcels and avoid certain regulation thresholds. The County currently uses a “Planning Parcel” concept to deter using these techniques to avoid certain environmental regulations. The County has not applied the Planning Parcel concept to other land development thresholds in the Comprehensive Plan or Land Development Code. Staff will review potential options for the Board to consider.
Some developers of TND projects have expressed a concern regarding the required non-residential portion of these developments. Staff will review options for the Board to consider including potentially allowing for some affordable housing to be provided in lieu of the non-residential development in TNDs.
