INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA MEMORANDUM COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT TO: Joseph A Baird; County Administrator FROM: Stan Boling, AICommunity Development Director DATE: April 11, 2014 SUBJECT: Consideration of Meeting Dates for Land Development Regulation (LDR) Amendments to establish the West Gifford (WGIC) Special Overlay Regulations It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at its regular meeting of April 22, 2014. BACKGROUND At its meeting of February 18, 2014, after substantial public input, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) directed staff to initiate the formal process to amend the LDRs to establish the West Gifford (WGIC) special overlay regulations. Staff has initiated that process and on April 10, 2014 the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) conducted a public hearing on the proposed LDR amendments. To complete the LDR amendment process, the Board will need to conduct two hearings. Two hearings are required because the proposed amendments will change the actual list of permitted or conditional uses for West Gifford properties that lie within the IG (General Industrial) zoning district, and Florida Statutes Chapter 125.66 requires that the local governing board hold two hearings for such proposals. Under the statute, those hearings must be held at least 10 days apart. Florida Statutes also provide that one hearing be held after 5:00 p.m., while the other hearing may be held before 5:00 p.m. (e.g. regular Board meeting time). The statutes also state that, with 4 or 5 positive votes, the Board may vote to hold both LDR hearings before 5:00 p.m., such as at regular Tuesday morning Board meetings. To proceed with the review and approval process for the subject LDR amendments, the Board must now set dates and times for the required two public hearings.
