Council opens quasi-judicial hearing on zoning map correction for 0.89 acres (Ordinance 1536)
Summary
City staff opened a quasi-judicial hearing and began presenting a rezoning/land-use map correction affecting about 0.89 acre that staff said was omitted during a 2001 annexation. The item was introduced and staff presentation began; no final council action was recorded in the provided transcript excerpt.
The City of Live Oak City Council opened a quasi-judicial public hearing and began a staff presentation on Ordinance 1536, a proposed zoning map amendment to change the assigned zoning district for roughly 0.89 acre previously shown outside the city on older maps. George Curtis, development manager, described the matter as similar to the annexation just approved, saying the omission occurred during an earlier annexation process in 2001.
Before the public hearing, councilors were briefed on quasi-judicial hearing procedures, including that decisions must be based on evidence in the record and that ex parte communications must be disclosed under Florida law. Curtis was placed under oath and began the staff presentation for the rezoning request; the transcript excerpt ends during the staff overview and does not include a council vote or public testimony for this item.
Discussion versus decision: at the time of the transcript excerpt, the item was in the staff-presentation stage of a quasi-judicial hearing. No formal action or final-reading vote appears in the provided record.
Next steps: the council is following the quasi-judicial hearing procedure (staff presentation, applicant presentation, public testimony, deliberation) and will make a final decision based on the evidence entered into the hearing record.
