Motion to approve the staff-recommended version of the amendment, as the Board of
Commissioners finds that this request for a zoning ordinance amendment as described is:
1. Consistent with the purposes and intent of Policy 5.2 of the 2006 CAMA Land Use Plan
because the amendment provides more design criteria that results in more efficient land use
and impervious surface reduction.

parking requirements while offering more flexible design criteria and lowering impervious
surface coverage for multi-family residential projects.
