SUBJECT:
Title
PUBLIC HEARING to Consider Proposed Marion County Land Development Code Amendments as a Result of the Passing of Senate Bill 812 to Revise Section 2.18.4. Construction, Completion, and Close Out
Body
INITIATOR: DEPARTMENT:
Kenneth Weyrauch, Deputy Director Growth Services
DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
Attached is the proposed language to update the Land Development Code (LDC) related to Section 2.18.4, Improvement Plan, Construction, Completion, and Close Out. This change is necessary due to the passing of Senate Bill 812, “an act relating to expedited approval of residential building permits.” While Marion County already allowed building permits to be issued before final platting, the Senate Bill requires an increase in the number of units allowed and some changes in overall processes.
The proposed LDC amendments were considered by the Land Development Regulation Commission (LDRC) in a public hearing held on October 16, 2024, per LDC Section 1.4.3.A and B. The LDRC voted to recommend approval of the proposed LDC changes. The proposed Ordinance materials are scheduled to be considered by the Board of Commissioners in public hearings scheduled for November 19, 2024, and December 9, 2024.
Following consideration by the LDRC, staff found that some additional clarification was necessary. This information was discussed with the David Tillman, LDRC Chairman, but is being presented publicly for the first time during this meeting.
BUDGET/IMPACT:
None
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
Take public comment, provide direction to Growth Services Planning Staff, and confirm the second public hearing on December 9, 2024.
