- Re
- Text Amendment - Chapters 5, 11.5, and 22 - Amending the Board of Adjustment
SUBJECT:
Legislative Hearing - Ordinance 19-044 Amending Chapters 5, 11.5 and 22 specific to modifying the Board of Adjustment. FIRST READING
SUMMARY:
The proposed Text Amendment seeks to modify multiple sections of the Code of Ordinances in reference to the Board of Adjustment. To this end, the following text amendment modifies existing language regarding the structure and standards of the review process. More specifically, the text amendment proposes the Board be comprised of five members appointed by the Mayor and each City Commissioner, subsequently eliminating the two additional “alternate” positions currently in place. The text amendment would also enable aggrieved parties to appeal decisions of the Board of Adjustment to the City Commission rather than the current process which dictates that an unsuccessful party must file an appeal with the appellate court to have the decision reviewed. Additionally, a concurring vote of a majority of the Board or Commission members will be needed to approve a Variance.
