BACKGROUND:

In the April 16, 2015, adoption of the Land Development Code the county did not adopt all of the proposed mainland zoning district consolidation, leaving many parcels zoned HC/LI within MU-S and most other existing instances of zoning district inconsistency with the applicable FLU.

The attached Ordinance has been reviewed and approved for legal sufficiency by Meredith Crawford, Assistant County Attorney. Any recommendations or legal sufficiency comments made in that review are also attached herein.

PERSONNEL:

No additional personnel are required for implementation of this Ordinance.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

Amendment of the LDC requires public hearing review and recommendation by the Board prior to action by the BCC. The proposed Ordinance is consistent with the Board’s goal “to increase citizen involvement in, access to, and approval of, County government activities.”

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

This Ordinance, amending the LDC, will be filed with the Department of State following adoption by the BCC.

Implementation of this Ordinance will consist of an amendment to the LDC and distribution of a copy of the adopted Ordinance to interested citizens and staff.

The proposed Ordinance was prepared by the Development Services Department, in cooperation with the County Attorney’s Office and all interested citizens. The Development Services Department will ensure proper advertisement.
