DESCRIPTION
This is a County-initiated request for a LDC Text amendment to amend multiple sections of Chapter 9 to conform procedures and time frames for reviewing development applications with state requirements; clarifying terminology regarding extending the time frame for setting De Novo hearings; clarifying that a tie vote during a public hearing result in a denial; providing attendance standards for Planning Commission members; and allowing for legal advertising for land development applications on a County-approved website. State law requires one Planning Commission hearing, which will be held on July 10, 2024, with a recommendation of approval.
Section 163.3202, Florida Statutes (F.S.) requires the Board to adopt Land Development Code (LDC) regulations consistent with the implementation of the Polk County Comprehensive Plan. Amendments to the LDC require two public hearings before the Board to be adopted. This is the first of the two hearings. The adoption hearing is set for August 6, 2024.
