Chairman Eggert read aloud the title of Chapter 800 - Comprehensive Plan. Chairman Eggert questioned the cross -outs on pages 13, 14, 15 in this chapter, and Attorney Vitunac explained that the theory behind this was how much we should put in the County Code which exactly copies State law. Chairman Eggert has raised a good point that the people who read our Comp Plan law may not have a copy of the Florida law and may want to know the entire procedure by reading one volume. The feeling of staff was that perhaps we could copy the relevant portions of State law and how the process works and include a chart in our local ordinance, and then just reference the people to Chapter 163 and other State .laws because there should be something of State law copied in here. Every time we rewrite this chapter we will update it 'annually so that it keeps us as close as possible to State law. The other issue concerned whether our Code should have the adopted portions of the Comp Plan in the Code or be a reference manual which you could refer to. He felt the consensus of the group that met yesterday was that it should be in the Code. The implications are that there will be a higher copying expense and potentially a third volume of the Code. On the brighter side, however, you will have the entire portions relevant to our Zoning Code in front of you without having to refer to some other document. Attorney Vitunac-advised that Director Keating felt that out of the,1700 pages, he could get it down to 400 pages, but Chairman*Eggert noted that is only the adopted portions, and not the entire Comp Plan. Attorney Vitunac felt that we could get it all into two volumes at the beginning and Title I would be in with Title VIII. Discussion ensued on how to include the land use maps in the Code, but Commissioner Scurl'ock was reluctant to.have the maps included -since they are constantly changing and aren't the actual working documents. 53 PUO PAGE 4_1 SES 18
