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 with the county attorney's office concerning state requirements for LDR amendment hearings. State requirements divide 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 requites 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 bohm 5:00 p.m., such as at a regular Tuesday morning Board meeting. Even though only one of the 12 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: Hearing D= Time Meeting #1 Special meeting Monday, April 19,1999 5:01 p.m. Meeting #2 Regular meeting Tuesday, May 4,1999 9:05 a.m 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 69 1999 ON MOTION by Commissioner Adams, SECONDED by Commissioner Grin, the Board ,unanimously set LDR Meeting #1 for Monday, April 195, 1999 at 5:01 p.m. and LDR Meeting #2 for Tuesday, May 4,1999 at 9:05 a.m., as recommended by staff. -89- • BOOK 103
