Background:
The Planning & Development Staff have been working with the County’s Code consultant, Canin Associates, developing revisions to the Seminole County Land Development Code (SCLDC). Staff and the County’s Consultant briefed the Board of County Commissioners on the proposed amendments on October 11, 2022. At that meeting staff discussed specific topics that needed further discussion and policy direction from the Board. The Board requested individual briefings on these topics.
These briefings have been held with each of the Commissioners and proposed amendments based on Commission input are attached to this agenda item for review and discussion.
The purpose of this work session is to provide the Board of County Commissioners an opportunity to re-review and discuss these specific topics: accessory structures; historic trees; the definition of kennel; backyard chickens; and wetlands as open space. Further direction is needed from the Board regarding several of the subjects: wetlands as open space, definition of kennel, backyard chickens and the size limitation for accessory structures.
In addition, the full draft of the proposed amendments is also being provided to the Board for its review and comment prior to bringing forth the agenda item with proposed Ordinances for public hearing. Concurrent Comprehensive Plan Amendments are also being proposed to implement some of the proposed Land Development Code Amendments. These are also being provided for your review and comment.
These draft amendments are subject to change based on feedback and direction from the Board of County Commissioners.
