JAN 19 1988 BOOK 70 E 624 reassess the County's right-of-way dedication policies. In the beginning of 1987, the staff reviewed and analyzed current right-of-way dedication policies, held several workshops (including one with the Planning & Zoning Commission and another with the Indian River Farms Drainage District), drafted the proposed ordinance, and requested that the Board authorize advertisement of the proposed ordinance. Last May, the Board of County Commissioners authorized staff to draft and advertise for ordinance changes affecting right-of-way requirements. During the Summer and Fall, through several iterations affected by court cases, new right-of-way policies have evolved. These policies have been written into -the proposed ordinance amendments and address the issues of equity, compen- sation, and right-of-way corridor protection. At its regular meeting of December 10, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the attached proposed ordinance amendments. ANALYSIS: . Issues The amendments address several issues as follows: Issue Compensation Reservations Issue Equity Corridor Protection Existing Requirements Dedications may be partially or fully compensated for by impact fee credit or density transfer. Reservations may be used in lieu of dedi- cations for minor site plan applicants. Existing Requirements Some applicants (dev- elopers) are not fully compensated for dedi- cations. Single-family dwellings may be constructed within future rights-of-way and corresponding setback areas. 64 Proposed Requirements All dedications shall be fully compensated for by impact fee credit, density transfer, or cash payments. Reservations may be used in lieu of dedications in any situation where full com- pensation for needed r -o -w cannot be given at the time of development approval or development. Proposed Requirements All applicants are fully com- pensated for dedications, the same as property owners whose land the County condemns. Single-family dwellings on sites abutting corridors must conform to future rights- of-way; dedica- tions and/or reservations re- quired.
