From:	HORACE JONES
Department:	Development Services

RECOMMENDATION:

A Public Hearing Concerning the Review of an Ordinance Amending Chapter 6, Definitions, Section 6-0.3 Terms Defined

That the Board review and recommend to the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) for adoption, an Ordinance to the Land Development Code (LDC) amending the following section to change the effective date for a lot of record from February 8, 1996 to April 16, 2015: Chapter 6, Definitions, Section 6-0.3 Terms Defined.

BACKGROUND:

In 2007, the BCC adopted an ordinance bringing the Lot of Record date to February 8, 1996, the date the original LDC became effective with the State. In 2015, the current LDC was adopted with new, consolidated zoning districts, and the Property Appraiser’s office began requiring zoning sign off to split or join existing parcels. These changes have effectively ended the creation of nonconforming parcels but those created from 1996-2015 still exist.

Updating the Lot of Record date will remedy most of these nonconforming parcels and allow for analysis of data, something the current static Lot of Record maps cannot.

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 Kia M. Johnson, 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 LDC, will be filed with the Department of State following adoption by the board.

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.
