CONTINUED DELIBERATION re: Moratorium Ordinance on Commercial Shooting Facilities — Continued from February 12, 2018: County Administrator Philip Morley stated that the Commissioners held a hearing on a Moratorium Ordinance on Commercial Shooting Facilities on February 5, 2018. After the hearing, the Commissioners extended the public comment period for written testimony through February 9, 2018 at 4:30 p.m. Last week, the Commissioners held deliberations on the moratorium, discussed refining language based on one piece of testimony provided during the hearing which requested a revision to the ordinance to allow for noise testing events. The Commissioners deliberated and discussed the draft clarifying amendment language on noise event testing. County Administrator Morley stated that this is about whether a land use of a certain type can be sited at a certain location, what the impacts will be, and how those impacts will be mitigated. He added that the County recognizes that regarding shooting, the state has preempted the noise, but this is about establishing the land use and intensity of land use in that location. For adherence on the intensity of the use, the County will need to take reasonable measures which include monitoring and measurement of the intensity use. Chief Civil Deputy Prosecuting Attorney (DPA) Philip Hunsucker stated there will be a permitting process for the land use. Commissioner Kler stated the moratorium is providing the Commissioners space for careful deliberation to speak about everyone's rights. Chief Civil DPA Hunsucker added that considering the public safety aspect of the ordinance is just as important as the process itself. Page 3 Commissioners Meeting Minutes of February 20, 2018 Commissioner Dean stated that she would like to see the Commissioners be involved in the review of what is being proposed for noise testing.
