16 26 wS e s s As instructed , staff reported to the Board at the December 12 , 2000 , Board of County Commissioners Meeting . At that meeting , staff presented several alternatives to the Board. After much discussion , the Board directed staff to process a county initiated text amendment and a county initiated future land use map amendment for the January 2001 Plan Amendment Submittal Window . Additionally , the Board told staff that those amendments were to implement Mr . O ' Haire7s proposal . The Board, however, stated that it did not wish to preclude the Planning and Zoning Commission from considering any alternatives , and that the Board would consider any alternatives recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission . PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION ACTION On April 5 , 2001 , the Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC ) considered this item at a public hearing .At that meeting , several alternatives were presented to the PZC .Although all seven members of the Commission were present, two members filed Conflict of Interest forms because those members have interests in property affected by the item. As a result of the conflicts , the two affected members could participate in the discussion , but could not vote on this item . Regarding this item, two motions were made at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting . The first motion was to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the O ' Haire Proposal , with the following three additions : prohibition of Caribbean Fruit Fly host plants ; required notification of the Florida Right to Farm Act ; and 150 foot wide buffers . That motion failed on a 2 to 3 vote . The second motion was to recommend that the Board of County Cominissioners delay any decision on this , while continuing to study other alternatives , including the alternative of concentrating development around rural villages . The Planning and Zoning Commission voted 3 to 2 to in favor of the second motion . Although a majority of Planning and Zoning Commissioners eligible to vote voted in favor of the motion , Section 103 . 02 . 12 of the County Code of Laws and Ordinances states that any matter or application considered by a board or commission with more than five members must receive four or more votes for passage . Since the Planning and Zoning Commission has seven members and the subject motion received only three affirmative votes , the favorable recommendation technically failed. PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ADVISORY COMMITTEE ACTION On May 17 , 2001 , the Professional Services Advisory Committee (PS AC) considered the proposed amendment and several other alternatives . At that meeting the PSAC voted 9 to 0 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners choose one of the other alternatives . TRANSMITTAL HEARING On June 5 , 2001 , the Board of County Commissioners considered several alternatives for transmittal to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for their review . Eventually , the Board voted 3 to 2 to transmit the subject amendment ( drawn primarily from Mr. O ' Haire ' s proposal , although incorporating portions of a staff developed proposal ) .
