DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:
In January 1, 2023, Chapter 50 of the Florida Statutes, Legal and Official Advertisements, provided that a governmental agency may publish certain statutorily required legal advertisements, publications, or notices on the publicly accessible website of the county in which it lies if doing so would cost less than publishing legal notices in a newspaper. The County intends to publish statutorily required advertisements, publications, and notices on a publicly accessible website to the extent authorized by state law.
Staff has submitted Land Development Code (LDC) Amendment Applications to review and update to allow for use of the publicly accessible website:
• LDC Article 1, Division 2, Definitions
• LDC Article 2, Division 4, Land Development Code Amendment, Section 2.4.4 Completion and Close Out
• LDC Article 2, Division 7, Zoning Change, Section 2.7.1., Applicability
The proposed revisions are to be considered by the Land Development Regulation Commission (LDRC) in a public hearing to be held on August 20, 2025, at 5:30 p.m., consistent with LDC Section 2.4.3.
LDC Section 2.5.5.A(1) requires the Board to consider the adoption of the proposed amendments in two advertised public hearings. 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 the required public hearings and accommodate the required advertising to consider the proposed Amendments:
• Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at 5:30 p.m., or as soon thereafter as possible, in the McPherson Governmental Campus Auditorium.
• Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at 10:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter as possible, in the McPherson Governmental Campus Auditorium.
