THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS THEREUPON RECESSED AT 12:05 O'CLOCK P.M. FOR LUNCH AND RECONVENED AT 1:45 O'CLOCK P.M. WITH THE SAME MEMBERS PRESENT. DEPUTY CLERK VIRGINIA HARGREAVES TOOK OVER FOR DEPUTY CLERK JANICE CALDWELL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE MEETING. DISCUSSION RE MORATORIUM ON FURTHER REZONING REQUESTS AND EXTENSION OF COMPLETION DATE FOR COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AS REQUESTED BY VERO BEACH CIVIC ASSOCIATION NORMAN BADENHOP, PRESIDENT OF THE VERO BEACH CIVIC ASSOCIA— TION CAME BEFORE THE BOARD IN REGARD TO THEIR REQUEST FOR A MORATORIUM ON REZONING AND EXTENSION OF THE COMPLETION DATE FOR THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN AND READ ALOUD THE FOLLOWING DATA SUPPORTING THEIR REQUEST: SUPPORTIVE DATA RELATING TO REASONS FOR THE IMPOSITION OF A REZONING MORATORIUM AND THE EXTENSION OF THE TIME FRAME FOR ADOPTION OF THE INDIAN RIVER COUNTY COMPREHENSIVE MASTER LAND USE PLAN. The Vero Beach Civic Association, hereinafter referred to as the Association, hereby urges and requests the Indian River County Commission to institute a moratorium upon the consideration of all land rezoning applications until after the completion and adoption of the County's Comprehensive Master Land Use Plan. The Association also further urges and requests the extension of the time period for completion and adoption of the above land use plan from November 1, 1980 to at least April 1, 1981. The reasons for these requests are as follows: The Association has monitored all workshop and regular meetings of the Indian River County Planning and Zoning Commission it had knowledge of, which involved consideration of input from the County planning staff relating to the development of the Comprehensive Master Land Use Plan. It was noted that during this period, time had to be given to consider and act upon rezoning applications. These interruptions in the important work of shaping the future direction of the County's land use appeared only to place undue disruptive pressure upon the Planning and Zoning Commission as well as the planning staff. The continuity of the prime effort at hand was broken. Contradictions and confusion were added to muddy the picture not to mention the valuable loss of time. No doubt there will always be rezoning applications. However, it would seem much more logical to consider the same in the light of an enlightened and realistic master plan adopted by representatives of public, the County Commission, predicated upon the exhaustive study of all pertinent supportive material as well as the weighing of the expressed desires of the community's citizens through public hearings.
