i Memo to Board of County Commissioners Commercial Event Ordinance September 14, 2015 3 1 Page Current Contracts. The Planning and Zoning Commission and staff heard from concerned event planners about events that are currently booked for the upcoming season. If the proposed ordinance is approved at the September 22nd meeting, it would take effect upon filing with the Secretary of State, unless the ordinance specifies a later date. Staff did not intend for the proposed ordinance to impair any existing contracts for event type gatherings or cause the cancelation of weddings or other celebrations already "booked". Thus, staff decided to add a provision allowing contracted events scheduled to occur within one year of the effective date of the ordinance (September 30, 2016). This provision is found on pages 2 and 3 of the ordinance as §911.15(8)(c) and §912.18(3)(b). Funding. Costs of codification of $98.00 and advertising in the amount of $230.00 are budgeted and available from General Fund/County Attorney/Other Professional Services- Acct # 00110214- 033190 Recommendations. Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: • Discuss the proposed ordinance • Consider a provision permitting events to be held at larger agriculturally zoned parcels with an approved temporary use permit • Consider a provision allowing events that are already scheduled (contracted) to occur within one year of the effective date of this ordinance (September 30, 2016) • Conduct the public hearing • Take testimony from interested parties and • Approve the proposed ordinance with or without modification Attachments: Minutes of Planning and Zoning Meeting of August 13, 2015 Proposed Ordinance 216
