At its meeting of December 6, 2018, the Planning Council recommended approval, per the Combined Executive and Land Use/Trafficways Committee recommendation, to amend Article 1 of the Administrative Rules Document: BrowardNext, to align with the approved 2018 amendment to the Charter of Broward County, Florida (Vote of the Planning Council; Unanimous: 16-0; Blackwelder, Breslau, Brunson, Castillo, DiGiorgio, Ganz, Gomez, Good, Grosso, Hardin, Rich, Rosenof, Rosenzweig, Ryan, Williams and Stermer).
The full report and associated attachments are provided in Exhibit 2 of this Public Hearing item.
In summary, the Charter amendments provided that the "Broward County Zoning Glossary" be contained within the Broward County Land Use Plan and revised the Planning Council public hearing requirement from two (2) public hearings for amendments to the County Land Use Plan to "at least one (1) public hearing." The Council determined that no proposed Rule change is necessary to implement the zoning glossary reference, however, the proposed amendment to Article 1 will provide that the Planning Council shall hold a public hearing with due public notice on each proposed amendment to the Broward County Land Use Plan submitted in accordance with the requirements of Article 1.1(A) or (B) of this document and pursuant to Chapter 163.3174 Florida Statutes. The Planning Council shall make a recommendation on each proposal and submit its recommendation to the Broward County Commission. A second Planning Council public hearing will be required in the following circumstances:
(1) At its initial public hearing, the Planning Council takes an action to recommend denial of a proposed amendment; or
(2) At its initial public hearing, the Planning Council takes an action to recommend approval subject to meeting specific criteria or policy prior to a second Planning Council public hearing; or
(3) At its initial public hearing, the Planning Council votes by a majority of the members present with a minimum of six (6) affirmative votes for a second Planning Council public hearing; or
(4) If the County Commission requests by a vote of the majority of members present to request a second Planning Council public hearing; or
(5) If an objection or comment on adverse impacts to important state resources or facilities is issued during the State of Florida Chapter 163 review process; or
(6) If State of Florida Chapter 163 requires or is modified to require a second local planning agency public hearing.
