RECOMMENDATION:

5:47 p.m. - A Public Hearing Concerning Review of an Ordinance Amending LDC Chapter 3 Regarding HC/LI Zoning Uses Within MU-S Future Land Use

That the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) review and adopt an Ordinance amending the Land Development Code (LDC) Chapter 3, to identify those uses of the Heavy Commercial and Light Industrial (HC/LI) zoning district that are allowed within the Mixed-Use Suburban (MU-S) future land use (FLU) category.

BACKGROUND:

At the April 6, 2017, BCC Meeting, the Commissioners directed staff to amend the MU-S FLU designation and/or the HC/LI zoning district to delineate that the HC/LI zoning category is consistent with MU-S designation with regards to heavy commercial uses allowed by the HC/LI zoning. They also directed staff to clarify that the light industrial uses are not consistent and do not cause de facto inconsistency between MU-S FLU and HC/LI zoning.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

No budgetary impact is anticipated by the adoption of this Ordinance.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

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 Planning 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.
