1:30 P.M. - FILE #AM88-05 - ORDINANCE AMENDMENT - TITLE 12 - PUBLIC SERVICES - BONNER COUNTY is initiating an amendment to its land use codes, Title 12, Bonner County Revised Code, Chapters 9, 11, 12, 13 and 14, to establish two and one-half (2-1/2) acre site area minimums in the Suburban, Commercial, Rural Service Center District, Industrial and Recreation zoning districts where neither "urban" water nor "urban" sewer services, as defined by current ordinance, is available and one (1)-acre minimums where either an urban water or urban sewer service is available. The proposed ordinance would also set site area minimums varying from one (1) to five (5) acres for duplexes, depending on service availability and zoning districts. An interim ordinance setting these standards was adopted by Bonner County in 2005. If adopted, this ordinance would make permanent the standards established by the interim ordinance.
