Permission to advertise an ordinance amending Brevard County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 98, Article V, North Merritt Island Dependent Special District, Section 98-145.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
Section 98-145, Brevard County Code of Ordinances enumerates the powers and duties of the governing board of the North Merritt Island Dependent Special District (“NMI Special District”). The NMI Special District hears requests for rezoning and comprehensive plan amendments in the North Merritt Island area.
Currently, the Port St. John Dependent Special District and the NMI Special District have identical powers and duties. As an amendment to the Port St. John Dependent Special District’s powers and duties has been proposed, this proposal would keep these districts in parallel.
The proposed change provides all rezoning and comprehensive plan changes will be reviewed by the NMI Special District and the Planning and Zoning Board prior to County Commission review. However, if no recommendation is provided by the NMI Special District, for any reason, the item may proceed to the Planning and Zoning Board for a recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners. The proposed amendment to Section 98-145, Brevard County Code of Ordinances allows planning and zoning requests to move expeditiously through the review process.
