- A. Second Public Hearing (Two of Two)
- A.1. LDC 25-1224, Administrative Plat Approval This proposed amendment to the Land Development Code (LDC) will modify the process to receive, review, process and approve plats in accordance with Section 177.071, Florida Statutes. Prior to July 1, 2025, Florida law required plats to be approved by the jurisdiction’s governing body. Section 177.071, Florida Statutes, was recently amended to provide that plats or replats must be administratively approved and no further action or approval of a county’s governing body is required if the plat or replat complies with the requirements of Section. 177.091, Florida Statutes. This LDC text amendment will designate an administrative County official with the authority to approve plats.
- A.2. LDC 25-1225, Live Local Act Project Criteria and Zoning Requirements Update This proposed amendment to the Land Development Code (LDC) will update the Live Local Act (LLA) provisions recently adopted in the LDC. The intent of this amendment is to modify the Live Local Act requirements and standards for projects to qualify under the LLA in the County, specifically, updating the zoning requirements due to recent changes to Section 125.01055, Florida Statutes, (LLA Statue). Land to be developed under the LLA is limited to parcels with the following standard zoning districts: BPO, OR, CN, CG, CI or M. This LDC Amendment will specify that any other zoning district that is deemed eligible by the LLA Statue will also qualify for Live Local Act projects.
- A.3. LDC 25-1435 - Pickleball Courts Distance Separation Requirements from Residential Uses. This proposed amendment to the Land Development Code (LDC) will regulate new Pickleball Courts in the County.

This Text Amendment has been directed by the Board of County Commissioners.
