COMMITTEE GROUND RULES

  • Meetings will begin and end on time.
  • Meeting Preparation: Committee members will receive meeting agendas and the

materials that will be discussed in advance of each meeting whenever possible. Members are responsible for reviewing these materials prior to the meeting, and for coming prepared for substantive discussions.

  • Everyone’s opinion is important. We want to hear from everyone equally. Please do not

monopolize the conversation or just sit back quietly and listen.

  • Stick to the agenda. It will be tempting to discuss issues other than those that are within

the scope of committee work. Please save these conversations for later.

  • Don’t be afraid to ask questions.
  • Be courteous and polite. Please don’t interrupt others and limit side conversations.
  • Our goal is general consensus. Please come to each meeting with an open mind and

be prepared to work towards agreement. When consensus cannot be reached, decisions will be made by a majority of the voting members of the committee who are

  • present. The vote and related discussions will be included in the record that goes

forward to the Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners.

A-5 Agricultural Zone Purpose and Intent The purpose and intent of the agriculture (A-5) zone is to provide for an area where various agricultural activities and low density residential developments co-exist

impose further restrictions on continued agricultural activities therein.
