NUMBER OF MEETINGS HELD SINCE JULY
(1998-1999) 8
ACTIVITY:
The Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial board that hears variance cases and appeals from
administrative decisions. After hearing the applicant and/or a representative present their
case, and after hearing anyone from the public wishing to speak on a matter, the Board
members vote for approval or denial of the application. A super majority of 4 votes is needed
to approve all matters.
FUTURE ACTIVITIES:
To continue hearing variance and appeal cases.
Note: The Board of Adjustment also sits as The Flood Plain Management Board.
BOARD AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT FORM - PAGE 2 OF 2
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
The Board has heard 54 new variance and appeal cases (including requests for modifications
and extensions of time) as of its August meeting (there was no meeting in July). They have
also heard 19 Progress Reports on existing cases, which are heard on an ongoing basis --
approximately every 3 or 6 months, or on a yearly basis, depending on the case.
Note: From July of 1998 to March, 1999 the Board heard approximately 114 cases, including
ongoing Progress Reports.
The Board's accomplishments up until now have been limited to adoption and amended
by-laws and holding monthly hearings during its monthly meetings. In those cases where
variances have been granted, stringent conditions have generally been imposed on the
property in an effort to minimize and/or eliminate any detrimental effect the variance(s) might
otherwise have on neighbors and the community in general.
This Board, acting as the Flood Plain Management Board, has heard 3 cases since July, 1998.

NUMBER OF MEETINGS HELD SINCE JULY:
6 regular and 2 workshop meetings
ACTIVITY.
.
The Planning Board reviewed thirteen (13) conditional use applications and two (2) lot split
applications during the second half of 1998. Twelve (12) proposed amendments to the Land
Development Regulations of the City Code were reviewed, including ordinances regarding
maximum building heights, floor area ratios (F ARs) and changes to the City's zoning map.
In addition to six regular monthly meetings, two workshop meetings were held by the Board,
one on alcoholic beverage regulations and nightclub definitions, and one on the City's
Municipal Mobility Plan (MMP). The procedures for permitting special events in the City
were also examined by the Board, and a resolution making recommendations and supporting
revisions to the City's special events guidelines was put forward.
FUTURE ACTIVITIES:
Proposed amendments to the Land Development Regulations that the Planning Board expects
to review in the first half of 1999 include allowing bed & breakfasts and religious
institutions in certain specified single-family zoning districts, ordinances regulating tattoo
parlors, body piercing establishments and commercial fortunetellers, the designation of the
Palm View neighborhood as a historic district, regulations regarding parking garages, and
the finalization of the zoning map changes and concurrent future land use map changes
which were begun last year. As always, the Board will review applications for conditional use
permits and lot splits, and will address other proposals of the Commission as they are referred.
BOARD AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT FORM - PAGE 2 OF 2
ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
Since July 1998, the Planning Board has achieved major accomplishments in the
comprehensive review of the City's zoning regulations. The Board continued and completed
the changes to maximum building heights, floor area ratios, and the City's zoning map,
which were then adopted by the Commission last fall. As a result of this initiative, the City
has been awarded the 1999 Florida Successful Community of the Year award by 1000 Friends
of Florida, a statewide growth management organization.
Other items which the Planning Board was involved in reviewing and making
recommendations on were proposed ordinances regarding the disclosure of payments to
individuals in exchange for support for projects undergoing review by the land development
boards, requiring the review of public improvement projects in historic districts, regulating
balloon signs, creating a new definition for historic district suites hotels, and various proposals
regarding the procedures of the historic preservation and design review boards.
