§ 102-160. Amendments in Progress.

(a)

When revisions are being considered concerning the Land Development Code or the Comprehensive Plan, or any portions thereof, the County may take legislative action to delay the approval of applications that include the potential revisions' subject matter. The delay shall be for such time as deemed necessary by the BOCC, not to exceed 365 days or until the Land Development Code or Comprehensive Plan change is fully effectuated.

(1)

Upon request of the BOCC, a Resolution shall be brought before the BOCC to direct County staff to process an Ordinance to defer potential approval of the subject applications. If the Resolution is approved by the BOCC, County staff will then draft and present to the BOCC a relevant Ordinance. The Ordinance shall require at least one public hearing and if called for by statute or other Ordinance, two public hearings.

(2)

County staff may accept applications prior to the Ordinance being formally adopted; however, such applications will not be processed for approval until such time as set forth in the relevant Resolution or Ordinance. The adoption of any such Resolution or Ordinance is not to be considered a denial or refusal of an application, but rather a deferral of consideration until such time as set forth in the Resolution and Ordinance.
