4. PUBLIC HEARING 4.A. CPALDRC911T ONSIDERATION OF ROPOSED MENDMENTS TO THE HAPTER ABLE UID OF SES FOR NDUSTRIAL ISTRICTS PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD Planning Director Stan Boling announced that there would be an additional Public Hearing (the final one) on July 24, 2007 for this item, which had been initiated by the Board in March 2007. Director Boling explained that the Amendment would address the County’s two industrial districts, Light Industrial (IL), which is for limited manufacturing and industrial uses, and General Industrial (IG), which allows for a broad range of activities. He advised that the industrial types of activities allowed in IL are all allowed in IG, but heavier industrial uses are only allowed in IG. Through a PowerPoint presentation (copy on file), Director Boling briefed the Board and the Citizens on the locations in the County currently zoned for IL and IG designations. He declared that, although all of the existing concrete plants in the County are in the unincorporated area, this would not preclude them from being located in municipalities. He pointed out that the county has concrete batch plants, not cement factories, and noted that there are five existing concrete plants, most of which are located adjacent to the Florida East Coast (FEC) railroad and zoned IG. Director Boling conveyed that the industrial uses are classified according to the North American Industrial Classification System (NAICS). He detailed how the Table of Uses is set up, and discussed the land uses that would be permitted only in the IG, and not in the IL, districts, if the Amendment were approved. Director Boling presented some of the reasons for the proposed Amendment, as outlined in staff’s report (pages 6 & 7 of the backup), and provided an analysis of industrial districts in July 11, 2007 2 Special Call Meeting LDR Chapter 911
