AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a Resolution to allow sixteen thousand square feet of
commercial floor area to be made available, in two allocations, for Year 14 Non-Residential Rate of
Growth (NROGO) Annual Allocation.
ITEM BACKGROUND: The "maximum annual allocation" and the distribution between the first and
second allocation dates are determined by the Board of County Commissioners, upon the
recommendation of the Planning Director and the Planning Commission. NROGO does not require the
second allocation (semi-annual) to be made. This provides flexibility in assuring that the goals of the
ordinance are being accomplished. On September 14, 2005 the Planning Commission adopted the
Planning Director's recommendation that ] 6,000 square feet of commercial floor area be made
available for Year 14 NROGO allocation.
