rezoning public hearing procedures and oath
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.

Public hearing items and uh Mr. County Attorney would you please uh do go over procedures?
I'd be happy to, Mr. Chairman. There are two rezoning agendas, regular and consent. Staff will present each application to the Board of County Commissioners. If staff for planning commissioners have recommended approval and there's no opposition, the application will be considered by the board without further presentation. If staff or planning commission has recommended denial or if there is opposition to the application. The applicant will be given five minutes for presentation. The opposition will be given three minutes for each individual or five minutes for a group representative. and the
applicant will be given three minutes for rebuttal. Any individual
Imagine that. Okay, we'll try that again. There are two rezoning agendas regularing consent. Staff will present each application to the Board of County Commissioners. If staff or planning commission has recommended approval and there's no opposition, the application will be considered by the Board without further presentation. If staff or planning commission has recommended denial or if there is opposition to the application, The applicant will be given five minutes for presentation, the opposition will be given three minutes for each individual or five minutes for a
group representative, and the applicant will be given three minutes for rebuttal. Any individual disagreeing with staff or planning commission recommendation or anyone wishing to object to any condition of the rezoning may at this time request the petition be pulled from the consent agenda. in which case that application will be heard under the regular agenda later on during the meeting. Otherwise, all rezoning applications on the consent agenda will be approved by a single motion and vote. If you wish to speak to any petition, please give your name and address and whether
or not you've been sworn for the record. These are quasi judicial public hearings. The law in Florida is that mere public support or opposition of an application is insufficient for the Board to take action. Please limit your comments to those criteria found within the Board's Land Development Code.
Okay. Thank you. That felt twice as long as it normally does. Well that um you know you did it twice and you should understand it. So but uh with that uh would you swear in folks that wanna speak during public hearing?
Yes, Mr.
Chair.
If you're here to speak on any of the items this afternoon, please stand so that I could swear you in. And raise your right hands. Do you solemnly swear or affirm that the testimony you're about to give is the truth? So help you, God. Thank you.
