REMNIAIFNDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners: <br />► Conduct a public workshop as part of the consideration of this item whereby the public ma, <br />provide input regarding the county's participation in Florida's Expedited Permitting Process: <br />and <br />► Adopt the attached resolution indicating Indian River County's desire to participate to <br />Florida's Expedited Permitting Process. <br />Community Development Director Bob Keating commented that he hoped to answer <br />some of the questions raised at the December 14 meeting regarding the Memorandum of <br />Agreement (MOA) form. One of the conditions of the grant for hardware and software for <br />the County's proposed web site is that the County consider participating in the Expedited <br />Permitting Review Process. There is no requirement for the County to actually agree to <br />participate. The purpose of the Process is to expeditiously review and approve projects of <br />significant or large economic development and coordinate the permitting requirements among <br />the various agencies. The Process requires the state agencies to agree to meet specific <br />deadlines and not every project is qualified to participate. The state makes the determination <br />as to whether or not the projects qualify and there are a number of benefits to the process. <br />The state and local governments get their economic development needs met and the applicant <br />gets expedited permitting approval.
