10.A.1. CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDRS) CHAPTERS 901, 911, AND 912 TO CHANGE THE LIMITATIONS FOR SIZE OF COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND RECREATIONAL VEHICLES PARKED OUTSIDE IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS Planning Director Stan Boling recalled the Board of County Commission meeting of March 18, 2013, when Mr. Heen, who is under Code Enforcement for multiple violations, made his request to the Board to consider changing the Land Development Regulations. Mr. Boling proposed amendments to the (LDRs) Chapter 901, 911 and 912 using a PowerPoint presentation, stating that this Ordinance would bring about changes to the size limitations of Commercial Vehicles up from 9 feet to 9 '/ feet; and delete limitation on the length of recreational vehicles outside in residential areas allowing an overall storage of 400 square feet. Mr Boling pointed out that at the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting, they had voted 3-1 to recommend the Board approve staff's recommendation, but they did not have the majority vote necessary to pass. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing. Jerry (inaudible), 1025 21st Court, who lives in Heritage Estates, currently zoned residential, said he is 100% against spot zoning. Mr. Heen is currently in Code Enforcement violations and he finds his trucks an aesthetic nuisance. He begged the Board not to change the height restrictions in a residential zone. Dennis Green, 1045 21st Court, Vero Beach, did not see dispensation from current zoning laws as beneficial to the County and said it should not be granted. He spoke on the noise and traffic as also an aesthetic value that needs to be considered, not only the size of vehicles. He felt their neighborhood is a test site for the rest of the County. He asked the Board not to change the zoning laws. He responded to questions from the Board. June 18, 2013 12 BI 43 PG 959
