This is déjà vu all over again. We <br />did this last year. We have to do this again. County Council initiated amendment to Chapter 25, <br />concurrency. Maija. <br />COTTLE: Okay, this is a County Council initiated amendment to the Zoning Code; <br />and it is changing concurrency requirements on rezoning actions. This would be to add <br />additional concurrency requirements for parks and recreation facilities as well as police facilities, <br />and we have quite, I’m sorry, not police, fire facilities. We have quite a long write-up of a <br />recommendation on this. The Director is recommending that the Commission send an <br />unfavorable recommendation to the County Council. And I think she’s going to explain her <br />reasons in more detail. <br />WOODWARD: Planning Director. <br />1 <br /> EXHIBIT D <br /> <br />
