- 2019 Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Review
SUBJECT:
Legislative Hearing - Ordinance 19-033 - An Ordinance amending the City’s Comprehensive Plan pursuant to the Evaluation and Appraisal Review based amendments. FIRST READING
SUMMARY:
- In 2018, the City of Fort Pierce was tasked with performing an EAR Report to the State by February 1, 2018, per Rule Chapter 73C-49, Florida Administrative Code, where the City was responsible for determining whether the need existed for the City to amend its Comprehensive Plan to reflect changes in State requirements since the last time the Comprehensive Plan was updated. In 2018, Staff reported to the State that indeed the City needed to amend its Comprehensive Plan and the City then had one year to prepare and transmit the proposed amendment.
- If any local government fails to timely submit a proposed amendment within one year of reporting, that local government may not amend its Comprehensive Plan until it complies with the requirements of the State. Because the City missed its deadline of January 31, 2019, that is in fact what happened. The City has now contracted with a Planning consultant, S&ME, to draft the needed EAR amendment, so that the City may process it according to its review procedures (i.e TRC, Planning Board, and City Commission).
- The Planning Board at their meeting on July 9, 2019 voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the request as presented.
