From:	T. Lloyd Kerr, AICP
Department:	Development Services

RECOMMENDATION:

5:49 p.m. - A Public Hearing Concerning the Review of an Ordinance Amending Comprehensive Plan Policy Mob 1.1.8 and OBJ CIE 1.2.

That the Board of County Commissioners review and adopt an Ordinance to amend Comprehensive Plan Policy Mob 1.1.8 and OBJ CIE 1.2. to allow certain documents incorporated by reference to be updated in the Code of Ordinances without amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.

On April 30, 2013 staff received a letter from the Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) saying that they identified no comment related to important state resources and facilities within the Agency's authorized scope of review that will be adversely impacted by the amendment if adopted.

BACKGROUND:

The two documents are part of the Capital Improvements Element and are updated continuously by the originating agencies outside of the jurisdiction of the Board of County Commissioners. Florida Statute 163.3177(3)(b) states that the capital improvements element must be reviewed by the local government on an annual basis. Modifications to update the 5-year capital improvement schedule may be accomplished by ordinance and may not be deemed to be amendments to the local comprehensive plan.

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 Stephen West, 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 Amendment is consistent with the Board’s goal “to increase citizen involvement in, access to, and approval of, County government activities.”

IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION:

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