Lee County commissioners hold first of two hearings on proposed land development code changes
Summary
The Lee County Board of County Commissioners on June 3 held the first of two public hearings on proposed amendments to the county’s land development code that would more broadly allow uses including food truck parks, microbreweries and public safety facilities, and voted unanimously to approve a motion related to the proposal.
The Lee County Board of County Commissioners on June 3 held the first of two public hearings on proposed amendments to the county’s land development code that would more broadly allow uses including food truck parks, microbreweries and public safety facilities, and voted unanimously to approve a motion related to the proposal.
Joe Adams, of the county attorney’s office, told commissioners the public hearing had been properly advertised and that “[t]his is going to be your first of 2 hearings to amend the land development code to more broadly permit several uses, including food truck parks, microbreweries, and public safety facilities.” He also said the affidavit of publication was on file with the clerk.
The board set the second public hearing for June 17 at 9:30 a.m. and received no public comment at the June 3 session. Following a brief staff presentation, Adams said, “Mister chairman, I move approval of the requested motion.” The chairman seconded the motion, public comment was opened and then closed, and the chairman announced, “Motion carries unanimously.”
The action taken at the June 3 meeting was a board vote to approve the motion as recorded in the meeting; the transcript does not state the exact text of the motion beyond the phrase “approval of the requested motion,” nor does it provide a vote tally or the names of individual commissioners who voted. The county attorney’s office and staff were listed as available to answer questions before the next hearing.
The proposed amendments, as described by staff during the session, would change allowable uses in the land development code to explicitly include food truck parks, microbreweries and public safety facilities; the transcript does not include ordinance or section numbers for the code changes, nor does it record final adoption. The board’s procedural steps on June 3 advance the proposal toward a second hearing on June 17, where further public input and a subsequent vote are expected.
