4. Specifying that the county's coastal management ordinance sections 932.06 and 932.09 (e.g.: seawall permitting) apply to oceanfront properties in the City of Vero Beach. 5. Establishing setback standards for spreading fruit (e.g. citrus) on agricultural properties (Chapters 911 and 917). 6. Specifying standards for uses that consist primarily of office uses but have other accessory uses (Chapters 911 and 917). 7. Increasing and clarifying landscaping requirements countywide for new developments and redevelopment (Chapters 911 and 926). The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) and the Professional Services Advisory Committee (PSAQ have reviewed or are scheduled to review each proposed amendment. To proceed with the review and approval process for the amendments, the Board must now set dates and times for the required public hearings. ANALYSIS AND ALTERNATIVES: Planning staff has coordinated closely with the county attorney's office concerning state requirements for LDR amendment hearings. The new legislation divides LDR amendments into two types: Amendments which change the actual list of permitted, conditional, or prohibited uses within a zoning category (district); and 2. All other types of amendments. Some of the proposed amendments would change the list of uses allowed in certain zoning districts. Those amendments require two hearings. Florida statutes provides that one hearing be held after 5:00 p.m. and the other hearing be held before 5:00 p.m. (e.g. regular Board meeting time). However, the statutes also state that, with 4 or 5 positive votes, the Board could vote to hold both LDR hearings before 5:00 p.m., such as at a regular Tuesday morning Board meetings. Two hearings will be required to be held in regard to some of the proposed amendments. In addition, staff notes that the Board may desire some changes to the other proposed amendments. To accommodate the legal requirements of some of the proposed amendments and to accommodate any changes the Board may feel are needed for any of the other amendments, it is staffs opinion that all of the LDR amendments should be considered at two hearings. It is also staffs opinion that the first hearing could be held either before or after 5:00 p.m., and that the second hearing, which is generally shorter and more of a "wrap-up" meeting, should be held during a regular Tuesday morning Board meeting. One set of hearing dates which would comply with state hearing and advertizing requirements and would allow for two hearings for all proposed amendments, is as follows: Hearing Meeting #1 Special meeting Date Monday, December 1, 1997 OR Time 5:01 P.M. Regular meeting* Tuesday, December 2, 1997 9:05 a.m. *would require 4 votes to hold first hearing before 5:00 p.m. Meeting #2 Regular meeting NOVEMBER 18, 1997 Tuesday, December 16, 1997 ,• 9:05 a.m. BOOK !,03 P,iGE 491
