or- [ i FUTURE LAND USE AMENDMENTS FOR LARGE TRACTS PROCEDURE: For Amendment of the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehen- sive Plan which involves 5% or more of the total area of the County. PURPOSE: The following steps outline the procedural requirements which are to be followed by the Indian River County Planning Depart- ment when the County's Com rehensive Plan is amended. These administrative procedures are to be followed when the future land use element of the Comprehensive Plan is amended and more than 5% of the County's total land area is involved. As written, these procedures comply with the requirements of the Florida Statutes Chapter 163.3187. STEP 1: STAFF PLANNER: As the planning department begins its process of formulating plan amendments, notice should be published in a local paper, requesting that all persons wishing to propose amendments which would involve 5% or more of the total land area of the County submit an application to the County's Planning Department (See Attachments B & C for forms.) This should occur every January 1st. The time period during which amendment applications will be taken should be included in the advertisement (See Attachment A for sample Notice). STEP 2: PLANNING SECRETARY: Accepts application, starts a file and logs in application for land use amendments. Cross-referenced cards corresponding to the file should be typed and placed in the card catalog boxes. STEP 3: STAFF PLANNER: The staff planner who is responsible for evaluating land use amendment requests should check the application for adequacy. An application will not be considered complete until the following items have been submitted: a) Letter of authorization (if applicant is other than the owner). b) Verified statement naming every individual having legal or equitable ownership of the subject property. c) Warranty deed. d) Title insurance or Attorney's opinion of title. e) Sealed survey of property which also shows the surrounding and adjacent land uses within 300' of the property. The adjacent properties need not be surveyed. Rather, their boundaries should be shown and uses or homes recorded. f) Proposed land use. g) Existing zoning of parcel. h) Fee STEP 4: STAFF PLANNER: The planner should review the application to see if the proposed land use conforms to the existing zoning. If it does not, the planner should forward a rezoning application to the applicant, so that the rezoning and land use amendment requests can be processed concurrently. -10-
