These changes are designed to clarify Code requirements, reflect current practices, add best practices, and provide additional flexibility for developers where appropriate. Notable changes include the following: • Acknowledgement of the role of the Staff Coordinator, a position intended to provide a single point of contact for developers. • Addition of provisions regarding digital plans and digital as -built plans, in order to make use of improved mapping and GIS technology. • Addition of procedures to allow phased development of subdivisions and mobile home parks so long as infrastructure is in place for the developed lots. • Relocation of a section on shade trees to a different Code chapter. This item was discussed at the Business and Economic Development Committee meeting on November 22, 2016, and the Planning Board on December 6, 2016. A few minor changes resulted from comments by the Planning Board, primarily clarifying the process for receiving temporary certificates of occupancy. The ordinance amendments are otherwise unchanged.
