When they are acting as a legislative body, you can talk to them all you want. People cannot talk to them in advance when they are considering a special exception. Therefore, any letters dealing with a special exception have been put in'a pile and have not been given to the Commissioners to read. The letters dealing with the general ordinance making procedures, which is when the Board is acting as a legislative body, were made available to the Commissioners. Tonight the Board is here to talk about the ordinance and people could have lobbied them on the ordinance, but the Commissioners have not been making themselves available to talk about special exceptions because that would be lobbying. The lower court ruling was only a few months ago and it has gone to the Supreme Court. The exact way this will play out and work into our County procedures has not been decided yet. The Supreme Court heard arguments on this complex issue in March and still has not issued a ruling. When we get that ruling, we will put it into our Code and explain it to everyone. Chairman Bird advised that staff will make their presentation, after which the Board will discuss any changes they would like staff to pursue to bring forward to the second and final public hearing on September 71 1993. Discussion will be limited to the land development regulations as presented by staff. Director of Community Development Robert Keating introduced himself and explained the LDR process. Planning Director Stan Boling introduced himself and explained that the proposed amendments will be covered under one ordinance.
