NEW ZONING ORDINANCE -- BOARD OF ZONING APPEALS

The League of Women Vot'ers o.f C~llier County presented acomprehensive statement during the proceedings of the Board ofCounty Commissioners t December 22, 198~, 'public hearing concerning:the proposect new Zoning Ordinance.. This statement, in part, was·supportive toward the establishment of a separate Board of ZoningAppeals and included the following facts and suggestions:

1. That The Laegue of Women Voters of the state of F'loridaestablished in 1975 the following position: "We supportprovision for an appeals board to arbitrate conflictsbetween governrnenta1 bodies and between citizens andgovernmental bodies.:.• It

2. That a~though there are no provisions within the FloridaStatutes., per se·, for the establishment oX a Board. 0'£Zoning Appeals, there are provisions within Section 28-13of the CO'llier County Code of Law and Ordinances for theestablishment of such a body. These include compositionand numJ)ers of Board members:" terms of office., vacanciesand quorum requirements.

3. That this quasi-judicial body conduct its business throughthe procedure oX sworn testimony, and that all Board. membersbe without conflicts' of interest as a position (1975) ofthe National L.eague of Women Voters states: -- that "indecisions about land use ••• the federa:L government shouldexert~eadership to. minimize conflict of interest on thepart of those who make dec::isions about land resources;"

At ii:s final hearing on J-anu'ary---'S-, 1.981, the B-oar-d-of---Geanty--­Commissioners -~ after some confusion during. the proceedings re .motions, et aI, to this subject -- eventually decided to continuethe status quo· and not to .establish a separate B.oard of Zoning Appeals.This means that the Commissioners will continue to hear all cases,which concern a Board of Zoning Appeals, during its regular sessions.

During the December 22, ~981, hearing, Mr. Pickworth expressed'his concern as to whether a separate Board of Zoning Appeals couldhear petitions for provisional uses.. S.ubsequently he found that it.cou1d and prepared a memorandum to this point -- to the Board ofCounty Commissioners -- just prior to the fina~ hearing of January5, 1982. He suggested that section ll.le of the proposed Zoning'Ordinance draft be changed to include five paragraphs at Ue" underProvisional Uses.. The last of these five re.ads as fo~l.ows:·:

"The Planning Commission shall hear all requests forprovisional. uses prior to hearing by the Board of ZoningAppeals. The. report and recommendations' of the PlanninqCommission shall be advisory only to the Board of ZoningAppeals."

His memorandum addressed itsel£ further to suggestions thatthe Board of County Commissioners be the final authority on thematter of provisianal uses, following hearinqs of the PlanninaCommission and the Board of Zoning Appeals. Under this.arrang~~ent,

'tllen the Board of Zoning p~P1Jeals 'would not be the final authority asDrODosed in 11.le above. Input fraIn the Naples J\rea Board of Real tors,Inc;·, appeared to fa.vor the status quo.

THE LEAGUE WILL CONTINUE WORKING TOWARD A SEPARATE BOARD.
