Open Space Element, Solid Waste Sub-element, and the Economic Development Element of the Indian River County Comprehensive Plan to the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs. 9.A.4. PUBLIC HEARING - RESOLUTION 2005-053 – COUNTY INITIATED REQUEST TO AMEND THE TEXT OF THE CONSERVATION ELEMENT AND COASTAL MANAGEMENT ELEMENT OF THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (LEGISLATIVE) PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD Environmental Planning Chief Roland DeBlois used a PowerPoint presentation to present this proposal. The purpose of this amendment is to revise the Conservation Element Analysis Section and Policy 6.12, relating to the native upland set-aside requirements, to clarify that a fee-in-lieu of native upland preservation will be accepted only as a last alternative when on-site upland preservation is not feasible. Also, the proposed text amendment will revise the basis of calculating the fee-in-lieu from tax-assessed value to current fair market value. The revision to the Coastal Management Element analysis section, objectives and policies reflect objectives and policies adopted in the Indian River County Manatee Protection and Boating Safety Comprehensive Management Plan (MPP). Community Development Director Robert Keating reviewed the Comp Plan amendment process, advising that this is the first public hearing before the Board of County Commissioners on this amendment request. If the Board approves the transmittal of this application to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) in Tallahassee for their 60-day review, a second and final public hearing will be scheduled to consider any comments made by the DCA and whether to adopt an ordinance amending the Comp Plan. If the Board denies the transmittal of an application to the DCA, the application process will come to an end. May 10, 2005 14
