RE: Allocation for the 2013 Commercial GMQS Competition for Employee Generation
Unit's (EGU's)
SUMMARY: Section 2-30-40(h)(2) of the 2006 Land Use Code ("Code") states, "The Board shall
receive the GMQS scoring from the Planning and Zoning Commission, and shall make allotments in
accordance with that scoring unless an appeal has been filed pursuant to 2-20-180, in which case the
Board shall hear and take action before making GMQS allotments pursuant to the scoring. If there is no
appeal on the scoring, the Board shall confirm the decision of the Planning and Zoning Commission in a
resolution recorded with the County Clerk and Recorder".
The following development application was submitted for the 2013 competition:
• Cameron: requesting an allotment of 3 EGU's for a 20,000 square feet commercial riding arena.
The property is located at 8276 Snowmass Creek Road and is commonly referred to as
"Moon Run Ranch".
43 EGU's are available on an annual basis for Commercial GMQS.
The Commission voted unanimously to accept Staffs scoring for the application which was 28 points.
The application met the minimum threshold score of 24 points.
In summary, the Commission recommends allocation of 3 EGU's for the Cameron application.
Pursuant to Section 2-20-180, any appeals of the scoring must be filed in writing within 15 days of the P
& Z Commission's public hearing. The P & Z Commission's meeting took place on January 14`h, 2014
and Staff forwarded the scores to the BOCC on January 22'1, 2014, within the appeal period. No appeals
were filed. A majority of at least a quorum of the BOCC may vote to rescore an application. Once the 15
day appeal period has expired, the BOCC shall by resolution allocate the allotments.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the Board adopt a motion to allocate the 2014
Commercial GMQS allotments to the Cameron commercial riding arena.
