10.A.2. CONSIDERATION OF PROPOSED LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATION <br />(LDR) AMENDMENT TO SECTION 911.15(1) (D), WEST COUNTY <br />INDUSTRIAL PARK HEIGHT EXCEPTION (LEGISLATIVE) <br />PROOF OF PUBLICATION OF ADVERTISEMENT FOR HEARING IS ON FILE IN THE <br />OFFICE OF THE CLERK TO THE BOARD <br />Planning Director Stan Boling, through review of his memorandum of July 15, 2013, <br />provided background and analysis on the Board's proposed Economic Development Initiative to <br />amend the County's Land Development Regulations (LDRs), Section 911.15(1)(d), for the <br />purpose of accommodating taller distribution facilities or industrial buildings. He recalled that <br />the West County Industrial Park Height Exception was adopted in 2004 for the CVS Distribution <br />Center west of I-95 at the Indian River Park of Commerce, and reviewed the proposed changes <br />to the height exception regulations. He also pointed out that the sunset language in the current <br />LDR needs to be deleted. Director Boling confirmed that both the Planning & Zoning <br />Commission and staff recommend that the Board approve the amendments to the West County <br />Industrial Park Height Exception, through adoption of the proposed Ordinance. <br />Director Boling addressed the Board's questions about the proposed setbacks and the <br />areas where the height exceptions would be permitted. <br />Commissioner Zorc noted that the amendment will allow the County to accommodate <br />burgeoning technology, such as the automated storage systems that are used by businesses such <br />as CVS. <br />The Chairman opened the Public Hearing. <br />Daniel Lamson, Executive Director, 737 Timber Ridge Trail Apt. B, read a statement on <br />behalf of Indian River Neighborhood Association, supporting the height exceptions and the <br />expansion of the West County Industrial Park. <br />August 20, 2013 31 <br />BK 144 PG 209 <br />
