Name

Description

2.A.1

 

ISBA

Palm Springs

This proposed housekeeping amendment will modify the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to add language to refer to the Interlocal Service Boundary Agreement adopted by the County and the Village of Palm Springs in 2008.  Chapter 171.203(9), F.S., requires each local government that is a party to the interlocal service boundary agreement to amend the intergovernmental coordination element of its comprehensive plan.

Staff Recommendation:  To transmit the proposed ISBA Amendment.

LPA Recommendation:  To recommend approval, motion by Judy Daversa, seconded by Sam Shannon, passed in a unanimous 12-0 vote at the March 25th Public Hearing.  There was minimal discussion.  One speaker representing the Village of Palm Springs spoke in support of the amendment citing the benefits planning and service delivery coordination achieved through the ISBA process.            

2.A.2

 

URA Revisions

This proposed amendment will modify the Future Land Use Element to revise the Urban Redevelopment Area policies in Sub-Objective 1.2.2 in order to clarify and add flexibility to the existing regulations, including but not limited to:

·         Allow an exception to the two story minimum height requirement in the Urban Infill future land use designation;

·         Eliminate Specialized Districts and replace with Alternative Standards; and

·         Delete regulations that will be relocated to the ULDC.

Staff Recommendation:  To transmit the proposed URA Revisions Amendment.

LPA Recommendation:  To recommend approval as modified at the hearing, motion by Judy Daversa, seconded by Thomas Dennis, passed in a unanimous 12-0 vote at the March 25th Public Hearing.  The motion included two changes to Policy 1.2.2-b on page E-2 as recommended by staff.  The motion also included direction to staff to continue to examine the one acre exemption to the two story height limitation to determine whether this threshold should be increased to a higher acreage.  One Commission member questioned the achievement of the URA provisions in light of the added flexibility established by the amendment, and suggested that staff revisit the provisions to limit the incentives to projects that comply with the form of development directed by the URA Master Plan & Addendum.  Several Commission members spoke in support of the overall URA effort, and the need to achieve the overall vision adopted by the BCC.   The Commission also discussed the need for employment centers in the area and emphasized the importance of the completion of the drainage study and improvements to foster the development and redevelopment of URA.  One member of the public representing an owner of property within the URA spoke in favor of the amendment, but cited that additional flexibility may be warranted. 

 

2.A.3

 

CRALLS Update

This proposed amendment will modify the Transportation Element to revise and to delete several Constrained Roadways at Lower Level of Service (CRALLS) facilities to account for changed conditions.  The TCEA and CRALLS Map, TE 15.1, will also be revised accordingly to eliminate the deleted CRALLS.

Staff Recommendation:  To transmit the proposed CRALLS Update Amendment.

LPA Recommendation:  To recommend approval, motion by Sandra Greenberg, seconded by Judy Daversa, passed in a unanimous 12-0 vote at the March 25th Public Hearing.  There was minimal discussion and no public comment.
