PUBLIC ACCESS § 34-5 (6) A spacing of public access(es) further apart than as set forth in subsections (a)(1) through (a)(4) of this section or the determination of inaccessibility pursuant to subsection (a)(5) of this section shall be approved by resolution of the County council. (b) Mountain Access. (1) For all zone districts, the desired spacing shall be determined by the director so as to provide reasonable means to access public trail sections and public facilities, respectively, as the case may be. (2) Provided, no access shall be established: (A) To State-owned land which is not designated by rule pursuant to article 2, section 34-4(b) of this chapter; or (B) To State-owned land which is designated but has not been approved by the State department of land and natural resources. For mountain lands designated pursuant to article 2, section 34-4(b) of this chapter, the director may make a provisional determination of the necessity of public access and the alignment therefor, but such provisional determination shall expire and be void unless the director has made final determination, with the final approval of the State department of land and natural resources within one hundred eighty days thereafter. (c) The location of public access in the vicinity of the subdivision or development, whether existing committed under agreements between landowners and the County, or planned pursuant to an officially adopted plan of the County or State, shall be considered by the director or planning commission, as appropriate, when establishing the required location and alignment of public access(es). Provided, that notwithstanding any officially adopted plan to provide public access, no subdivision within an area lacking public access at the appropriate location or desired spacing shall be exempted from the requirements of this chapter. (d) The director shall implement these standards in a manner consistent with article 3, chapter 23. (1996, ord 96-17, sec 2.) Section 34-6. Multiple-family development. All applications for multiple-family development building permits shall be reviewed by the director, in consultation with the director of parks and recreation and the director of public works to determine the necessity of the public access requirement.
