A new item involving substantive matters of potential public interest may be added to the agenda only for the purposes of referring it to the staff or a committee or scheduling it for consideration at a later meeting.]
3. Land Use Plan Amendments -
[These are proposals to amend the County's Land Use Plan, to revise its text and/or the general and/or land use classifications it applies to land.

Rezonings -
[These are petitions to amend the County's Zoning Map to reclassify land from one zoning district to another, thus subjecting the site to a different set of zoning regulations. The Planning Board reviews these petitions in an advisory capacity, recommending that the Board of Commissioners either approve or deny the petition. The Board must base its recommendation on whether or not the proposed rezoning is consistent with the County's Land Use Plan and otherwise advances the public health, safety, and general welfare.]
a. [ZP-797-00] US 64 Bypass:
Proposal to amend Conditional Use-Residential 20 zoning on 182.1 acres by changing the dwelling unit cap.

5. Preliminary Subdivision Plans (including associated variances) -
[These are applications for approval of preliminary plans for the division of land into lots, which are reviewed for compliance with standards set forth in the County's Subdivision Ordinance. If the plan complies with all applicable standards, the Board must approve it; if not, the Board must either deny it or approve it with conditions specifying actions that will ensure such compliance. These applications may be accompanied by applications for hardship variances from the Subdivision Ordinance's standards, which must be decided before review of the preliminary subdivision plan. The Planning Board may grant a variance only after it hears evidence as to hardships due to the land or parcel, makes findings of fact supported by the presented evidence, and, based on those findings of fact, concludes that: (a) strict application of the relevant standard would prohibit subdivision of the parcel in accord with the spirit and intent of the Subdivision Ordinance because of extraordinary circumstances peculiar to the parcel; (b) the variance is necessary to avoid extraordinary and unnecessary hardship; and (c) the variance will not result in detriment to the public interest or violate the intent and purpose of the Subdivision Ordinance. The applicant bears the burden of presenting sufficient evidence to allow the Board to make findings of fact and reach the required conclusions.]
