FEB 2 8 1989 Page 2 February 14, 1989 BOOK 76 fACE Following the Planning and Zoning Commission action, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) conducts two public hearings. The first of these two hearings is for a preliminary decision on the land use amendment and to consider the rezoning request. The Board may transmit the request to the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) if the request warrants further consideration. Once transmitted, the DCA conducts a 90 day review of the request including comments from the Regional Planning Council and neighboring local governments. Failure by the Board of County Commissioners to transmit the request constitutes denial. The second and final Board of County Commissioners public hearing is conducted after the receipt of comments from the DCA. It is at this time that the Board takes final action to approve or deny the request. 0 60 On T ., 1989, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5-0 to ecommend the enlargement of the node from 10 acres to 92 acres, and the rezoning of 82 acres from CL, Limited Commercial and RM -6, Multi -Family Residential (up to 6 units/acre) to CG, General Commercial for inclusion in the node.
