NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

The Cochise County Planning and Zoning Commission hereby gives notice that a Public Hearing will be held at or after 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 1415 Melody Lane, Building G, Bisbee, Arizona, to consider the following:

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 revisions replace the eligibility based on zoning district and designation to eligibility based on minimum setbacks of seventy-five (75) feet 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, 1415 Melody Lane, Bisbee, Arizona, Building E, and may be examined during office hours (Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.). The proposed Ordinance can be viewed on the County Website at www.cochise.az.gov; click on Departments and scroll down to Planning and Zoning; on the left side menu click on Proposed Updates and view the draft Ordinance. With comments or questions, please contact Zoning Administrator Rick Corley at 520.432-9240 or rhcorley@cochise.az.gov. All persons interested in said matter may appear at said public hearing at said time and place and show cause, if any they have, why said amendments should or should not be approved.

If the Commission makes a recommendation, the docket will be heard in a public hearing before the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday, February 2, 2010 at or after 10:00 a.m. at 1415 Melody Lane, Building G, in Bisbee, Arizona.
