After a recent review of the plan, staff determined that several elements need to be revised. The affected elements are the Future Land Use Element. the Sanitary Sewer Sub -Element. the Potable Water Sub -Element, and the Coastal Management Element. The proposed amendments are related to Agricultural Planned Developments (PDs ). Caribbean Fruit Fly host plants. the Future Land Use Map, utility service for agricultural businesses located outside the urban service area. and post - disaster recovery and redevelopment. As originally submitted, the proposed amendment also contained revisions to the Recreation and Open Space Element relating to arts and cultural activities. At the transmittal public hearing however. the Board of County Commissioners decided to consider that portion of the proposed amendment separately and at a later date. For that reason. the arts and culture related re%isions to the Recreation and Open Space Element are no longer part of this proposed amendment. Those revisions will be considered with the plan amendments submitted during the January 2001 comprehensive plan amendment submittal window. The proposed additions and deletions to the plan are shown on Attachment 2. In this attachment. deletions are indicated by atLik‘. tin uu_ i3. while additions are shown as double underlined. The Board of County Commissioners is now to decide whether or not to adopt the requested amendment. PAST ACTIONS On September 28, 2000. the Planning and Zoning Commission voted 5 to 1 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendments as shown on Attachment 2. On October 19. 2000. the Professional Services Advisory Committee voted 4 to 2 to recommend that the Board of County Commissioners approve the proposed amendments as shown on Attachment 2. On November 7. 2000. the Board of County Commissioners voted 5 to 0 transmit the proposed amendment to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for their review. ORC REPORT Consistent with state regulations. DCA reviewed the proposed amendment and prepared an Objections. Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report (dated February 9, 2001), which planning staff received on February 12. 2001. The DCA ORC Report Attachment 6 at the end of this staff report. does not contain any objections relating to the proposed amendment. The ORC Report did, however. contain two recommendations pertaining to the proposed amendment. In contrast to objections, recommendations cannot be used as a basis for finding an adopted amendment not in compliance. The first recommendation is that the county keep those portions of Coastal Management Element Policy 7.4 that pertain to post -disaster redevelopment. DCA's other recommendation is related to the proposed changes to Agricultural Planned Developments. DCA recommends that the county consider keeping the existing clustering and Planned Development requirement, but make it mandatory only for larger parcels such as 40 acres or more. Each of those recommendations will be discussed in the analysis section of this staff report under the applicable category. March 20, 2001
