| Item Title: | Ordinance 99-18, Amending Sections 2 and 3. Adding Sections 3.1.5 and 3.1.6 | | Date: | 6/12/2017 | | Department: | Planning and Economic Opportunity |
|
| | | | | | | | | Background: | On January 23, 2017, after an extensive public hearing process, Nassau County executed a significant overhaul to the local regulations governing the subdividing of lands for the purpose creating new building sites. During those initial efforts it was decided by the Planning and Zoning Board to bifurcate the amendment process and address the transfer of land between family members subsequent to the adoption of the greater Code revisions. After several months of public workshops and the required Public Hearing, the Planning and Zoning Board have prepared a series of amendments to the Land Development Code (Ord. 97-19) and the Subdivision and Development Review Regulations (Ord. 99-18).
The amendment to Ordinance 99-18 creates new definitions, provides for an Open Rural Homestead Land Split Exemption, and provides for a petition for relief from family hardship.
| | Request: | Consider an Ordinance of the Board of County Commissioners of Nassau County, Florida, amending Ordinance No. 99-18, as amended, known as the Nassau County Development Review Regulations Ordinance; specifically amending Section 2, Definitions; amending Section 3, Development That Does Not Require Platting; adding Section 3.1.5, Open Rural Homestead Land Split Exemption; adding Section 3.1.6, Petition for Relief From Family Hardship; providing severability; and providing an effective date.
| | Financial/Economic Impact to Future Years Budgeting Process or Effect on Citizens: | Net Positive. The application of subdivision rules will limit liability to the county for road maintenance/construction. The rules will also inhibit sprawl into areas of the county that later require other services (such as school, fire stations, etc) while at the same time making a provision for family hardships and clarifying the appeal process.
| | Action Requested and Recommendation: | Consider the proposed amendment to the Subdivision and Development Review Regulations (Ord. 99-18). Staff recommends the Board consider favorably the proposed amendments to Ordinance 99-18 and the sister amendments to the Land Development Code (Ord. 97-19).
| | Is this action consistent with the Nassau County Comprehensive Land Use Plan? | | Yes | | Funding Source: | | N/A |
