What the county recorded
This item is not from the published agenda
It is a stretch of the recording that this archive identified as a separate matter — a call to order, a recess, or something taken up that the agenda does not list. There is no official title, no staff recommendation and no disposition, because the county never recorded one. Everything below is inferred.

Item P57 was published in the Tampe Times on January 19, 2022.
Item P57 is PDD 220233. This is, as uh Commissioner Oakley stated, uh, the moratorium on development around airports. Uh the last Board of County Commissioners meeting, you um requested a continuance for the adoption. This is actually a continuance for the the uh first reading. So the request is to continue the first reading to April 19th, 2022, at 1:30 in Newport Ritchie, which is a suggestion.
I would like to do that. Yeah discussion. Um So We're gonna take this time to do the uh moratorium, to set up the moratorium. At the same time we could do the ordinance in the same amount of time. Is that correct?
We can work on an ordinance, Commissioner, if that's what you're asking, instead of like moving forward with the moratorium that I will defer to
our
county attorney.
Forget about the moratorium, go on to an ordinance and work out a good ordinance for it. It's the same amount of time basically you're using staff for.
Well it's not really Commissioner. It's so you it's the same amount of advertising time. Right. But an ordinance hasn't been crafted yet. for the actual regulations, which means That That lead time now is going to be built into getting you that before you So The moratorium. is to be in place only until the ordinance can get before you and get it get
adopted. So That's finished. The moratorium was crafted. That ordinance is done. All it has to be is advertised and and completed and you know, advertised and acted on by this board. Um but I think you'll find that if you If you direct staff to bring forward the changes, that's gonna be a longer process than Adopting the moratorium.
Madam Chair. Uh
Commissioner
Weightman. Thank you. What was it okay? What was the date we said you wanted to continue to first
first reading is four nineteen of twenty-two at one thirty in Newport Ritchie and the adoption is um May third, which is what the board asked the last time we were before the board.
How long is the more drawing four hours? It goes until we get uh
it's it's for 180 days. or until you adopt the ordinance, at which point the the moratorium would sunset.
'Cause you got till May third. That's uh sixty day thirty counting counting my head here. Um six sixty so no no it'd be This would be half of that.
And if any development comes in in those areas during during the time you're working on the ordinance, it's gonna go m it's gonna move forward and you're not gonna be able to
Right, but I I don't think the ordinance actually would change um We really go by uh
F I A or whatever FAA We go by their rules when we look at things being built around the airport anyway. So
right
now you
right now you are not. That's why F D O T is insisting that we adopt these ordinances, because the stuff that It should be looked at during the lent. The only thing we're looking at is is obviously if it's a height issue Right. But anything else that is that is Mm. in the footprint, so to speak. is not i if it's if it meets zoning requirements right
now It's it's being processed.
No, I I I think I disagree with that. We don't have a Tampa International Airport. Or a Sarasota airport. We have small private airports and we're following the rules for those.
I understand it. We're following the rules.
So um we don't have airport zoning regulations in place. Um not sure what's meant by following the rules around those. So there isn't a um
We don't
have rules in place.
Well, setbacks, we're following the sound, right?
No, and the height? That's not in the code. Code.
You have you have no airport zoning regulations. So there's there's nothing that we can impose other than a federal requirement. Madam Clerk.
What's what's wrong with the federal requirements?
This this has been something that's been we're supposed to do this a long time ago. They're working on it now. We've got the right people involved. They're recommending the stakeholders themselves. that you put the moratorium in place until the ordinance can be drafted. We'll get a lot of input to make sure we draft it, but we need to protect ourselves For the future. And by putting the ordinance. By putting the moratorium in place, now you get time to set the ordinance up how you want it to be.
We technically are not in compliance with Chapter three thirty three of the Florida statutes. Yes.
So the only way we'd be in compliance at this point in time is to do the moratorium?
The moratorium preserves the status quo for you to adopt the regulations, yes.
It would prevent any unauthorized development prior to the moratorium starting. And only until the ordinance was set up in place. Especially with the runway protection plan. And I believe the stakeholders are on definitely on board with the runway protection plan. Area. Which is the in front of the runway.
Well I don't see our board Doing anything From now to when we get an ordinance in that. What a fact. That unless we don't have the Waited. stop height or s something like that. But that's That's aviation rules, so
I have to do that. That's what I'm telling you, Commissioner, is you have no regulations in place currently.
I think what Commissioner Oakley is saying is that whatever that height is that you're going to put in the ordinance is that number that we would follow when looking at a development.
Yeah. Height is only one of the s one of the many things that you're supposed to look at at the end of the year.
Hype
and sound.
Height, sound, and is it also sight? Okay. And I d I don't know what site has to do with Maybe it has something to do with the rooftops or something, what you put on the rooftop.
An example would be of roof. It was if it was a metal roof it would have a glare. Or if it was a solar farm, then it would have a glare when the pilots are coming into a land.
For the site.
I think we're a stalemate here. I know what you're asking for.
Take the time and draft the ordinance now versus moving down and doing the moratorium and going out hundred and eighty days. I got that.
He does that's we don't he does not have enough time in his staff does not have enough time to get the ordinance drafted in the in that in that amount of time.
So what you're saying is uh if we if we don't do the ordinance, I mean don't do the moratorium now, to protect us to the point That we have the ordinance drafted.
Is that the right-of-way? The the whole purpose of the moratorium is so that you don't have new development moving into those protection areas. while you're developing regulations. And so that and and there is development even in the moratorium that is allowed. that staff has looked at and said, okay, if this moves in, it w it can safely be accommodated. But The But yeah,
the the the i the issue is that's the whole that's why we Why a moratorium was asked for And why it had been advertised and drafted was Take it. To pause. that stuff until the regulations were adopted Um frankly that that that th this is one of those since it's a land development regulation, it's a joint effort between the County Attorney's Office and the Planning
Department. Um but no, I d you're not gonna have an adopted ordinance by May third. for airport zoning regulations. Okay.
Go ahead.
Sorry.
So the continuous la the suggestion for the continuous last time was to give the opportunity for staff and or the and or the county attorney's office to meet with stakeholders. There was a lot of concerns that some of us on this dais had as well as some of the stakeholders had in that community. We continued it. Here here's I I think just go ahead.
Move let's let's
move forward to continuous for now because if what's brought to us on the next meeting we don't like it, we can say no.
That's correct. You don't have to adopt the moratorium.
So give everybody give it the opportunity, everybody put their heads together, stakeholders meet, county attorney's office, staff. We're still at a stalemate. You can deny it.
I move continuance.
Second. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Opposed? None. Okay. Now we are on to Um P fifty eight. P fifty eight. These are roll call votes, right? Mr. Ma'am?
Yes.
Okay.
