The agriculture/residential buffer issue is a priority item for the Board and has been expedited for review through the Agriculture Advisory Committee, Professional Services Advisory Committee, and the Planning and Zoning Commission. Additionally, the LDR amendments proposed in relation to the agriculture/residential buffer issue would require Board consideration at only one hearing that could be held as part of a normal Board meeting. Therefore, in staff's opinion, the Board should consider the agriculture/residential buffer LDR amendments separately, at the soonest available regular meeting. A meeting date which would satisfy advertising requirements for Board action on the agriculture/residential buffer issues is the May 20, 19-97 regular Board meeting. The other LDR amendments include issues that either require PSAC and Planning and Zoning Commission review or will require two public hearings. In staff's opinion, hearings for these amendments could be handled during regular Board meetings in June. If the Board, by a majority of 4 or more votes, decides to hold the hearings before 5:00 p.m., then hearings could be held during the June 10th and June 24th regular Board meetings. Since the proposal to allow banks within the PRO district requires 2 hearings, a final decision on that proposal would be rendered at the June 24th hearing. All other amendments could be finalized at the June 10th hearing. The Board may establish any other dates that meet state requirements. However, in regard to the PRO district proposal, the Board must approve dates for 2 public hearings that are at least 10 days apart and that accommodate advertising deadlines. Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: 1. Approve holding the public hearings before 5:00 p.m. -(requires at least 4 positive votes). 2. Set a May 20, 1997 hearing date to consider LDR amendments related to agriculture/residential buffers. 3. Set June 10, 1997 and June 24, 1997 hearing dates for the remaining LDR amendments. Commissioner Tippin left the meeting on private business. ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED by Commissioner Ginn, the Board, by a 4-0 vote (Commissioner Tippin being absent) approved holding the public hearings before 5:00 p.m.; set May 20, 1997 as the hearing date to consider LDR amendments related to agriculture/residential buffers; and set June 10, 1977 and June 24, 1997 as hearing dates for the remaining LDR amendments, as recommended by staff.
