DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Staff has submitted a Land Development Code (LDC) Amendment Application proposing revisions to LDC Section 8.6 - Technical Standards and Requirements, Table 6.8-2 Land Use Categories for Buffers (the buffer table) to improve consistency and efficiency with identifying and implementing buffer requirements as necessary.
Staff has also submitted an LDC Amendment Application proposing revisions to LDC Section 2.18.4. Construction, Completion, and Close Out due to the passing of 2024 Senate Bill 812, an act relating to expedited approval of residential building permits. While Marion County already had much of this language in our LDC, amendments are necessary to match the new statutory requirements.
The proposed revisions are to be considered by the Land Development Regulation Commission (LDRC) in a public hearing being held on October 16, 2024 at 5:30 p.m. consistent with LDC Section 2.4.3.
LDC Section 2.5.5.A(1) requires the Board consider the adoption of the proposed amendments in two advertised public hearings for each revision to the LDC. At least one hearing is to be held after 5:00 p.m. on a weekday, unless the Board, by a majority plus one vote elects to conduct that hearing at another time of day. Further, the second public hearing shall be held at least ten days after the first hearing. The following dates and times are being requested to conduct each of the required public hearings and accommodate the required advertising to consider the proposed Amendments:
• Tuesday, November 19, 2024 at 10:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as possible, in the McPherson Governmental Campus Auditorium and
• Monday, December 9, 2024 at 5:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as possible, in the McPherson Governmental Campus Auditorium.
