It is requested that the Board of County Commissioners conduct a public hearing to consider the proposed ordinance amending Brevard County Code of Ordinances, Chapter 98, Article IV, Port St. John Dependent Special District Board, Section 98-105.
End
Summary Explanation and Background:
On March 23, 2021, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) granted legislative intent and permission to advertise amendments to Section 98-105. The proposed change allows all zoning and Comprehensive Plan applications to proceed to the Planning & Zoning Board/Local Planning Agency for a recommendation to the BCC whether there is or is not quorum for the PSJ meeting, allowing requests to move expeditiously through the process.
The Port St. John Dependent Special District Board (PSJ Board) was created in 1996, per Ordinance 1996-30, for the purpose of providing the citizens of Port St. John a formal means of establishing an advisory board to review and provide the BCC with recommendations on matters affecting properties within the Port St. John Special District boundary. The PSJ Board also reviews and provides recommendations to the BCC on matters such as priority, location, maintenance, and the use of public improvements or infrastructure.
On April 14, 2021, the Building Construction Advisory Committee heard the proposed ordinance and unanimously recommended approval.
On July 14, 2021, the Port St. John Dependent Special District Board heard the proposed ordinance and unanimously recommended approval with the addition of paragraph 6 to allow for the appointment of two alternate members.
On July 26, 2021, the Local Planning Agency heard the proposed ordinance and unanimously recommended approval with an additional change to Section 98-104, to add the appointments of two alternate members to the Port St. John Dependent Special District Board. Please note, the addition of alternate member will require legislative intent and permission to advertise amendments to Section 98-104.
If approved by the Board, implementation will begin with the August 6th application submittal deadline for the October/November rezoning cycle.
Clerk to the Board Instructions:
Please return a copy of the ordinance to Planning and Development once filed with the State.
