A. The proposed Ordinance was prepared by the Office of the County Attorney at the direction of the Board of County Commissioners at its meeting of May 8, 2018.

B. The Broward County Charter requires notice and a public hearing for adoption of amendments to the Broward County Administrative Code.

A. Amends the notice requirements in the Code for zoning actions related to dumps, sanitary landfills, incinerators, and resource recovery facilities.

B. Amends the notice requirements in the Administrative Code for environmental licenses and permits related to dumps, sanitary landfills, incinerators, and resource recovery facilities.

On May 8, 2018, the Office of the County Attorney was directed to draft an ordinance and a resolution increasing the notice requirements for applications for rezonings, variances, and environmental licenses and permits related to property used, or to be used, as a dump, sanitary landfill, incinerator, or resource recovery facility ("solid waste facility"). The proposed Ordinance and Resolution increase the notice requirements for property used, or to be used, as a solid waste facility to include notice to the Broward County Commissioner(s) whose district is within a four (4) mile radius of the solid waste facility; to the Mayor, City Manager, and City Commissioners of any municipality within Broward County and within a four (4) mile radius of the solid waste facility; to board members of condominium and homeowners' associations within Broward County and within a four (4) mile radius of the perimeter of the solid waste facility who sign up with Broward County to receive email notifications; and to any other person who owns property or lives within Broward County and within a four (4) mile radius of the solid waste facility who signs up with Broward County to receive email notifications.

The proposed Ordinance and Administrative Code Resolution provide that the email notifications to board members of condominiums and homeowners' associations and persons who sign up to receive email notifications are courtesy notifications and shall not affect the validity of any action taken relative to the application, license, or permit, and failure to receive such notification shall not give rise to a cause of action challenging any action taken by Broward County.

The proposed Ordinance and Administrative Code Resolution will be distributed as additional material.
