5. Sign regulations (staff -initiated) 6. Mini -storage parking (staff -initiated) 7. Affordable housing changes to match new comprehensive plan policies (staff -initiated) 8.

Recreational vehicle park occupancy time period and allowance for attaching carports and porches (Sunshine Travel Park/Bruce Barkett, attorney). The Planning and Zoning Commission (PZC) and the Professional Services Advisory Committee (PSAC) 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 its required public hearings. 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: 1. Amendments which change the actual list of permitted, conditional, or prohibited uses within a zoning category (district); and 2. All other types of amendments. One of the proposed amendments would change the list of uses allowed in certain zoning districts. That amendment requires two hearings. Florida statutes provides that one hearing be held after 5:00 p.m., while the other hearing may 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 meeting. Even though only one of the ten proposed LDR amendments requires two hearings, 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 should be held after 5:00 p.m. to better accommodate public input, 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 advertising requirements and would allow for two hearings for all proposed amendments is as follows: Holing D.= U= Meeting #1 Special meeting Monday, May 4, 1998 5:01 P.M. Meeting #2 Regular meeting Tuesday, May 19, 1998 9:05 am. Staff has tentatively reserved use of the Commission Chambers for these proposed dates. The Board may establish any other dates that meet state requirements and during which the Chambers may be used. Staff recommends that the Board concur with the proposed hearing dates or set other hearing dates to consider the proposed LDR amendments. APRIL 21, 1998 #& 0
