Meeting Date:	06/21/2018
Issue: 5:46 p.m. - A Public Hearing Concerning the Review of an Ordinance Amending OBJ CIE 1.2.5 and FLU 1.5.2 in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan
From:	Horace Jones
Department:	Development Services

RECOMMENDATION:

5:46 p.m. - A Public Hearing Concerning the Review of an Ordinance Amending OBJ CIE 1.2.5 and FLU 1.5.2 in the 2030 Comprehensive Plan

That the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) review and adopt an Ordinance amending the 2030 Comprehensive Plan, to remove the fiscal year and adoption specific dates from the Florida-Alabama Transportation Improvement Program, under section OBJ CIE 1.2.5., and to delete in its entirety, section FLU 1.5.2, Compact Development and Maximum Densities and Intensities.

This hearing serves as the second of two public hearings before the BCC.

BACKGROUND:

Pursuant to Section 125.68(1)(b), Florida Statutes, the BCC has determined that due to the frequency of the updates incorporation of the Florida-Alabama Transportation Planning Organization 5-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) codification and publication of the updates is not reasonable. Adoption of the TIP and School District Work Plan documents occurs annually. Removing the adoption and date specific information of the document from the Comprehensive Plan, will continue to fulfill the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, and the intent of the Land Development Code, and will negate the requirement for an annual Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to update that specific data.

The Board of County Commissioners had previously adopted Ordinance 2015-45, on October 15, 2015, removing the minimum residential densities from all Future Land Use categories. Once the ordinance was adopted, the intent of FLU 1.5.2, no longer applies, as the FLU categories of MU-S and MU-U have the same density allowances.

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 D. Crawford, Assistant County Attorney. Any recommended legal comments are attached herein.

PERSONNEL:

No additional personnel are required for implementation of this Ordinance.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:

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 Comprehensive Plan, will be filed with the Department of State following adoption by the board.

Implementation of this Ordinance will consist of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan 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.
