BOOK 92 FLEE 913 rezoning request is denied, only the land use amendment request is forwarded to the Board, unless the denial to rezone is appealed. Following Planning and Zoning Commission action, the Board of County Commissioners conducts two public hearings. The first of these hearings is for a preliminary decision on the land use amendment request. At this hearing, the Board determines whether or not the land use amendment warrants transmittal to the State Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for further consideration. If the land use amendment is transmitted, DCA conducts a 60 day review which includes soliciting comments from the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (TCRPC) and neighboring local governments. A Board of County Commissioners decision not to transmit the land use amendment to DCA constitutes denial of both the land use amendment and rezoning requests. The second and final Board of County Commissioners public hearing is conducted after the receipt of comments from DCA. The Board takes final action to approve or deny the land use amendment and rezoning requests at that time. O DRI Review Procedures The DRI review is conducted by the TCRPC in conjunction with local and state agencies. The focus of this review is on the environmental, social, economic, and physical impact of the proposed development on the local and regional area. Following the TCRPC review, a Development Order is considered by the Board of County Commissioners. The Development Order constitutes an agreement between the county and the developer, and identifies the necessary improvements and conditions which will govern the development. These improvements and conditions 'can include factors such as type of buildings, general retail mix, buffers, parking, and off-site improvements. In this case, the proposed Development Order has been considered by the Planning and Zoning Commission which has forwarded a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. The Board will consider approving the proposed development order in a separate hearing to be held subsequent to the hearing on the Comprehensive Plan amendment. If the development order is approved then the development will undergo the standard site plan approval process. C Past Actions On November 16, 1989, the applicant submitted a similar Land Use Designation Amendment and rezoning request which the applicant withdrew at the November 13, 1990 Board of County Commissioners final public hearing. In the current application, the size of the area requested to be redesignated and rezoned has been reduced to exclude approximately 26.5 acres of wetlands and an access driveway. These areas are part of the DRI project area but will remain residentially zoned. On February 10, 1994, the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 6-1 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners transmit the proposed land use amendment to DCA for their review.
