RECOMMENDATION:

5:47 p.m. - A Public Hearing Concerning the Review of an Ordinance Amending Comprehensive Plan Chapter 7, CPA-2015-08

That the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) review and adopt an Ordinance amending the Comprehensive Plan Chapter 7, "Future Land Use Element", Policy FLU 1.3.1. "Future Land Use Categories," CPA-2015-08, to remove the residential development limitation for lodging units in the Future Land Use category Mixed-Use Pensacola Beach (MU-PB).

This hearing serves as the second of two required public hearings before the BCC as set forth in Section 2-7.2(a) and F.S. 125.66(4)(b).

BACKGROUND:

This proposed change will remove a lodging unit cap imposed in error for the Mixed-Use Pensacola Beach (MU-PB) Future Land Use category. The current language in this policy reflects the existing dwelling unit cap, but also includes a lodging unit cap of 726 units. The 726 units number came from an ordinance adopted in 2007 (2007-38 Condotels), and was intended to limit future large room (greater than 850 sq. feet) units, not total lodging units.

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 Kerra Smith, 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 proposed 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.
