NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING
The Cochise County Board of Supervisors hereby gives notice that a
Public Hearing will be held at or after 10:00 A.M. on Tuesday, February 23,
2010 at
Docket R-10-01: Consideration of adoption of revisions to the
existing Cochise County Building Safety Code Owner-Builder Amendment Options
and to Section 508 of the Cochise County Zoning Regulations. The existing County
Building Safety Code Owner-Builder Amendment limits eligibility to
Owner-Builders on properties located in the RU, SM, and SR categories zoned for
a minimum lot size of four acres and in Growth Category D Rural or Rural
Residential. The Planning and Zoning Commission at a public hearing held on
January 13, 2010 recommends to the Board of Supervisors that the revisions
replace the eligibility based on the RU, SM or SR zoning district categories and
"D" Growth Category designation to eligibility based on minimum four-acre
lot size and zoning designation, regardless of Growth Category designation. Setbacks would remain the same as they are
currently for the zoning district. Owner builders lying within zoning districts
with less than 4-acre minimum lot size requirements but with parcels of four
acres or more and who want to take advantage of the Owner-Builder Opt Out
Amendment could request a “downzoning” to a four acre minimum zoning district
at no cost for the rezoning process. On
February 23, 2010, the Board of Supervisors may also consider their original
proposed amendment of a minimum setback of seventy-five (75) feet from the
subject property line in all directions.
The amendment to Section 508 of the Zoning Regulations would complement
the County Building Safety Code Owner-Builder Amendment and would define what a
Rural zoning district is for the purposes of application of building codes and
ARS 11-861 et seq.
Details of the above docket are on file in the office of the Cochise
County Planning Department,
Dated this 20th Day of January
