certain modifications to be made by staff as directed at the <br />January 14th meeting. The second ordinance attached to this report <br />(see attachment #10) is the revised ordinance recommended by the <br />Planning and Zoning Commission, with some subsequent grammatical <br />and minor changes made by staff. <br />•Board Consideration <br />The Board is now to conduct the first of two public hearings to <br />consider adoption of the two proposed ordinances. [The second <br />public hearing is scheduled for 5:01 p.m. on Thursday, March 18, <br />1993.] At this first hearing, the Board is to consider the <br />proposed ordinances and direct staff to make any changes to the <br />ordinances which the Board feels should be made prior to final <br />action. <br />ANALYSIS <br />•Airport Zoning Ordinance <br />eImpetus for the Airport Zoning Ordinance <br />Florida Statutes Chapter 333 (see attachment #4) requires local <br />governments in the state to adopt special airport zoning <br />regulations that address land use and land development issues for <br />properties that surround publicly licensed airports. Chapter 333 <br />sets -out various requirements for the content and substance of such <br />zoning regulations, procedural requirements for their consideration <br />and legal requirements for their adoption. The regulations are <br />required to address noise and nuisance impacts, height and <br />obstruction limitations, and operational safety issues - all in the <br />context of compatibility between what is developed around an <br />airport and normal airport operations. In addition to the FS 333 <br />mandates, policies of the Comprehensive Plan's "Ports, Aviation and <br />Related Facilities" element require adoption of an airport zoning <br />ordinance (see attachment #5). <br />The state's purpose in requiring local governments to adopt airport <br />zoning ordinances is to ensure that local LDRs and development <br />procedures require compliance with state and federal procedures and <br />regulations related to airports and aviation. The state and <br />federal government's method of enforcing the ordinance adoption <br />requirement includes the threat of cutting -off funding and <br />participation in government programs, and even restricting or <br />shutting -down airport operations. Therefore, adoption of an <br />airport zoning ordinance is necessary in order to ensure the <br />continued operation of the county's publicly licensed airports. <br />The state requirement for the adoption of a local airport zoning <br />ordinance applies to the City of Sebastian and the City of Vero <br />Beach, as well as to the county. The City of Sebastian adopted its <br />airport zoning ordinance in 1992. City of Vero Beach staff have <br />indicated that they will initiate consideration of a city ordinance <br />after the county's ordinance is adopted. In addition to adopting <br />airport zoning ordinances, the County, Vero Beach, and Sebastian <br />will need to enter into an inter -local agreement in order to <br />satisfy FS 333 requirements. The county attorney's office is <br />handling the development and execution of an inter -local agreement <br />which will satisfy FS 333 requirements. <br />*Geographic Scope <br />The proposed ordinance would <br />area of the county and to new <br />publicly licensed airports. <br />county: Vero Beach Municipal <br />and the New Hibiscus Airport. <br />show the general location and <br />apply only within the unincorporated <br />development on properties surrounding <br />There are three such airports in the <br />Airport, Sebastian Municipal Airport, <br />The maps included in attachment #6 <br />vicinity around these three airports. <br />3 <br />.BAR - 2 1993 �coK <br />
