Background:
With assistance from Kimley-Horn project consultants, Seminole County Development Services is implementing the Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) Based Amendments to the Seminole County Comprehensive Plan.
The Planning and Development Division and consultants have gathered data, reviewed policies, and incorporated feedback and input from pertinent Seminole County Departments for the EAR Based Amendments.
The Board of County Commissioners have had two work sessions on the EAR Based Amendments. The first work session occurred at the Board of County Commissioners Meeting on August 8, 2023. The second work session took place on September 12, 2023. A third worksession with the BCC is scheduled for October 10, 2023.
A Community Meeting was held on August 17, 2023. Approximately sixteen public members were in attendance, as well as staff and consultants. A PowerPoint presentation was given by the Planning Manager, who provided a detailed overview of the EAR Based Amendments along with the goals and objectives of the Seminole County Comprehensive Plan. The public then had time to ask questions in an open forum. Afterward, the public had the opportunity to break out to five different stations with visual displays detailing various aspects of the presentation. Staff and consultants were on hand to answer questions at each station. Staff encouraged attendees to fill out comment cards or e-mail the project manager any comments. Submitted comments by the public have been included as an attachment.
This work session will discuss the goals of the Future Land Use Element and seek recommendations from the Planning and Zoning Commission to bring forward to the Board of County Commissioners.
Attached is a draft of the proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan for your review and comment.
