RECOMMENDATION:

5:47 p.m. A Public Hearing Concerning the Review of an LDC Ordinance Amending Article 6 - Minimum Lot Size and Distance Standards for Stables

That the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) review an Ordinance to the Land Development Code (LDC) Article 6, amending the Conditional Use standards for minimum lot size and distance standards for stables to provide for consistency.

This hearing serves as the first of two required public hearings before the BCC as set forth in Section 2.08.04 (b) and F.S. 125.66 (4)(b).

At the May 6, 2014, Planning Board Meeting, the Board recommended approval to the BCC.

BACKGROUND:

The intent of this Ordinance is to remove the 100,000 square foot lot size requirement for stables as a conditional use and adopt the two acre requirement found everywhere else in the LDC. In addition, this Ordinance will provide for the same distance from dwelling standards found elsewhere in the LDC.

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 Ryan E. Ross, 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:

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