What is the role of staff in the referral process?
The staff reviews each referral first for completeness and then for issues related to UCPB policies and adopted county plans. Staff interacts with the community, other approving agencies and the applicant in developing a report to the UCPB. Field visits are performed as needed. Staff reports are presented to the UCPB at the meeting an usually include specific recommendations for Board’s consideration. All referral recommendations require action by a majority of the full board membership. Once action is taken staff then issues the referral response for the Board.
