It'll AS° 5 !9,1-1 BOOK 09 PA,F 797 MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Commissioner Adams, to direct staff to proceed with the process of committee and public hearings to - consider all four proposed amendments to the Land Development Regulations. Under discussion, Chairman Bird stated that he could not support all four amendments. He also was concerned about the perception that a decision has been made. Since the residential resort ordinance was adopted, there has been one consequence and it is very good. He is not in favor of closing the door on any potential development. Commissioner Eggert was sure the public hearing process is the way for the public to be heard. She pointed out that the Disney project is compatible with the proposed changes. Commissioner Tippin agreed with Chairman Bird and added that the County's growth has been guided by leaders who made wise decisions to keep the County in its present beautiful shape. He was in favor of the LDR process because Indian River County has a history of being cautious. THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. It was voted on and carried unanimously (4-0, Commissioner Macht being absent). County Attorney Vitunac explained that the Board has the ability to invoke the pending ordinance doctrine. If the Board invokes that doctrine, we would not process applications for developments while the proposed amendments are being considered. This would not involve the Disney project because they meet all criteria of the possible amendments to the ordinance. Chairman Bird opposed it because it gives the impression that a decision has already been made. He contended that we must play the game under the rules that exist, not some pending changes that may or may not happen in the future. MOTION BY COMMISSIONER EGGERT TO INVOKE THE PENDING ORDINANCE DOCTRINE FAILED FOR LACK OF A SECOND. 106
