Basic Services – Management of the Queue
At the last Chapter meeting, members decided to not pursue this issue for the time being. This issue may be taken up at a future time.
Chapter members had considered writing legislation that would have consolidated and adjusted the methods used to manage waiting lists under the county basic services map process. A rise in road, water and sewer deficiencies is expected in the next four to eight years. The process to manage development approvals and allocation of capacity was first written in the late 1970s and is cumbersome and inconsistent with other parts of the zoning regulations.
Vesting
HBAM members are working with the County Council to craft new vesting legislation. In 2006, the County Council passed a very late vesting rule in an effort to head off a number of controversial development applications that were based on a plan approved under what was considered inferior development regulations. The late vesting rules are now combining with slowing market activity to increase risk and cost to developers, builders and lot buyers.
