BUDGETARY IMPACT:

This action may increase the ad valorem tax base for Escambia County.

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF:

The recommended order is the result of deliberations by the Planning Board and is based on the applicants presentation of competent substantial evidence for each of the approval conditions, on staff analysis, public testimony, and knowledge of the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Code as well as case law and Florida Statutes.

POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION:
