Charlotte County considers changing rules for development of nonconforming lots
Summary
A draft replacement for §11‑3‑2 would allow lots of record as of Nov. 5, 2002 that do not meet minimum area or width to be used for permitted uses if all other requirements are met, including Health Department approvals. The joint hearing recorded no public comment and no vote.
At a May 28, 2020 joint public hearing, the Charlotte County Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission reviewed a proposed revision to Section 11‑3‑2 of the county zoning ordinance addressing development of nonconforming lots.
Under the proposed language, a lot of record as of Nov. 5, 2002, that does not meet district minimum area or width could still be used for permitted uses in that district provided all other requirements (other than lot area or width) can be satisfied. The proposal explicitly requires approval by the local Health Department for individual water supply and/or private sewage disposal systems prior to development.
The draft also notes that a nonconforming lot may be increased in size by abandonment of a lot line or by boundary line adjustment; where a boundary line adjustment results in sufficient land to satisfy minimum size and width, the resulting lot must comply with district requirements. The transcript records no public comment on this item; the public comment period was closed and the joint hearing adjourned. No vote or final action is recorded in the transcript.
