RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Scheduling of Public Hearings

That the Board authorize the scheduling of the following Public Hearings:

September 3, 2020

A. 5:45 p.m. - A Public Hearing - An Ordinance amending the Land Development Code (LDC), Chapter 4, to expand the use of recreational vehicles as living quarters, establish related use standards, and modify related provisions

Summary: Although recreational vehicles are not dwelling units, they can provide useful temporary living quarters beyond their primary recreational, camping, and travel uses. However, any such use of recreational vehicles outside of duly licensed campgrounds, recreational vehicle parks, or mobile home parks requires land use standards to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare.

B. 5:46 p.m. - A Public Hearing - An Ordinance to the Land Development Code (LDC) Chapter 3, Section 3-1.3 “Zoning and Future Land Use,” Subsection (G) “Future Land Use Designations,” and Subsection (I) “Zoning Implementation of FLU,” to add the Future Land Use Category of Agriculture Residential; amending Sections 3-2.2 “Agricultural District (AGR),” and 3-2.3 “Rural Residential district (RR)” to provide for AGR and RR Zoning districts in the AR Future Land Use category

Summary: Escambia County Board of County Commissioners found that the current Comprehensive Plan Section FLU 3.1.5 restricted the ability of a person or entity to obtain approval of a comprehensive plan amendment to the Rural Community (RC) future land use category. The Board of County Commissioners determined that FLU 3.1.5 unduly limited the Board’s ability to manage growth and development within the County; the Board found that an amendment to its Comprehensive Plan was necessary and appropriate based on the Goals and Policies of the Escambia County Comprehensive Plan.

C. 5:47 p.m. - A Public Hearing - An Ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan: amending Chapter 3, Section 3.04, Definitions; amending OBJ FLU 1.3 Future Land Use Map designations; and amending OBJ FLU 3.1 Rural Development - CPA-2020-1 (first of two public hearings)

Summary: Escambia County Board of County Commissioners finds that the current Comprehensive Plan Section FLU 3.1.5 restricts the ability of a person or entity to obtain approval of a comprehensive plan amendment to the Rural Community (RC) future land use category; the Board has determined that FLU 3.1.5 unduly limits the Board’s ability to manage growth and development within the County and should be amended.
