BACKGROUND:

The above cases were initiated by the SRIA Staff (Paolo Ghio) and heard at the January 24, 2018, SRIA Quasi-Judicial hearing. Under the Land Development Code (LDC) Chapter 2, Article 7, “the Board of County Commissioners, at its scheduled hearing shall adopt, modify, or reject the recommendation of the SRIA Board or return the rezoning case to the board with instructions for additional facts or clarification. The staff of the recommending board shall inform the board of all formal actions taken by the BCC on the rezoning request.

To further the County’s policy of “decreasing response time from notification of citizen needs to ultimate resolution,” the Board is acting on both the approval of the SRIA Board recommended order and the LDC Map Amendment for this month’s rezoning cases. This report item addresses only the review and upholding of the SRIA’s recommendation. The next report item will address the Public Hearing for the LDC Zoning Map Amendment.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

N/A

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

The recommended order is the result of deliberations by the SRIA Board based on the SRIA staff’s (Paolo Ghio) presentation of competent substantial evidence for each of the approval conditions, on staff analysis, public testimony, and knowledge of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code as well as case law and Florida Statutes.

PERSONNEL:

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

The Chairman will need to sign the Orders of the Escambia County Board of County Commissioners either denying or approving the rezoning requests.

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

The cases under review was presented to the SRIA Board for collection of evidence. The SRIA Board conducts a quasi-judicial public hearing and issues a recommended order to the Board of County Commissioners.
