11:00 a.m. The Commissioner held an Open Record Public Hearing to consider a Unified
Development Code Amendment as proposed by Grant County Development Services for
changes to allow government offices in various zones, revise the Performance and Use standards
for Mini Storage developments in order to clarify ambiguous language and provide greater
clarity for developers/owners, revises "minor modification" language for Wireless
Communication Facilities to better facilitate tower upgrade projects, and revise language
regarding size limitations for uses in the AG zone. File # P 20-0133 and P 20-0134.
Tyler Lawrence, Assistant Director, discussed the project. He stated that the Planning
Commission is forwarding the amendment for approval with one modification to #8 of their
Findings of Fact. They wish to add additional language as follows: "Visual screening shall only
apply when a residence is present within 100 feet of any property line, excluding road frontages,
and excluding any residences owned or controlled by the mini storage operator and/or property
owner." This language will only apply to the rural and rural activity center zones.

public comment portion of the hearing. The motion passed unanimously.
Commissioner Taylor moved to approve the recommendation of the Planning Commission and
the amendment by the PC the UDC Amendment as presented. Commissioner Carter seconded
and the motion passed unanimously. The hearing adjourned.
