JUL - 6 093 BOOK <br />BACKGROUND: <br />89 �,��Iu 980 -7 <br />Since October 1, 1990, the Florida Statutes has required two <br />evening meetings of the Board of County Commissioners whenever <br />amendments to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) are to be <br />considered and adopted. To minimize the number of required evening <br />meetings, staff has limited the number of times the LDR's are <br />amended. This has been done by holding proposed LDR amendments <br />until a sufficient number of amendments exist. <br />At this time,. there are several proposed LDR amendments which now <br />require consideration and action by the Board of County <br />Commissioners. These LDR changes have been initiated by <br />applicants, county staff, the Affordable Housing Advisory Committee <br />(AHAC), and the Board of County Commissioners. This set of LDR <br />amendments relates to many issues, including but not limited to the <br />following: <br />- Residential resort uses and projects <br />- Limited automotive repair uses'in the CL district <br />- Farmworker and migrant housing <br />- Affordable Housing density bonus provisions <br />- Authority of staff to approve site plan projects and <br />expansions of special exception uses <br />- Planned development project "internal" buffering requirements <br />- Bikeway and sidewalk construction and bonding -out provisions <br />- Appeals of decisions on development project requests <br />The PSAC has reviewed the proposed amendments. The Planning and <br />Zoning Commission is in the process of considering and making <br />recommendations to the Board regarding the proposed LDR amendments. <br />To proceed with the review and approval process for the amendments, <br />the Board must now set dates and times for the required two evening <br />public hearings. <br />ANALYSIS AND ALTERNATIVES: <br />The proposed amendments were considered by the PSAC at its March, <br />April, May, and June 1993 meetings. The Planning and Zoning <br />Commission considered most of the proposed amendments at its June <br />24, 1993 meeting, and is scheduled to consider the remaining <br />amendments at its July 8, 1993 meeting. The Board of County <br />Commissioners must hold its meetings after receiving the Planning <br />and Zoning Commission's recommendations. While most of the <br />proposed amendments are non -controversial, some items will require <br />significant discussion, most notably the residential resort <br />proposed amendments. <br />State requirements mandate seven day ' notice (newspaper <br />advertisement) prior to the first meeting, five day notice prior to <br />the second meeting, and at least two weeks between the two <br />meetings. The meetings must be held after 5:00 p.m. Planning <br />staff has coordinated with the Board office staff regarding <br />potential hearing dates in August and early September. One set of <br />hearing dates'which would comply with all the state requirements <br />and appears to accommodate Commissioners' schedules is as follows: <br />MEETING,* DATE TIME <br />1. Monday, August 23, 1993 5:01 P.M. <br />2. Tuesday, September 7, 1993 5:01 P.M. <br />Staff has tentatively reserved use of the Commission Chambers for <br />these proposed dates - The Board may establish any other dates that <br />meet state requirements and during which the Chambers may be used. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Staff recommends that the Board establish meeting dates for the two <br />evening public hearings required to consider and adopt the proposed <br />LDR amendments. <br />24 <br />
