TO: Honorable Mayor & Members of the North Port Commission
FROM: A. Jerome Fletcher II, ICMA-CM, MPA, City Manager
TITLE: Ordinance No. 2023-02 Amendment to Unified Land Development Code Regarding Unified Control Requirements and Related Definitions (TXT-22-187)
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Commission continue Ordinance No. 2023-02 to second reading.
Recommended Action on Second Reading
Approve and adopt Ordinance 2023-02 on second reading.
Background Information
In July 2022, it became known that some existing internal procedures and processes conflict with certain definitions within the Unified Land Development Code related to applications currently subject to the provision for "unified control," and it is necessary to amend or delete those definitions in order to timely and consistently process development applications. The proposed amendments are necessary to provide for consistency with F.S. 163.3161(10), the City's Property Rights and Economic Development Elements, and the Strategic Plan. This amendment eliminates the definition of unified control in Section 61-3 and removes references to unified control in other definitions, and in Sections 37-6, 37-7, 53-117, 53-205, 53-220, 53-240, and 54-3, which will simplify and clarify the documentation required by applicants for certain land uses.
Information for Second Reading
At its Regular Meeting on December 16, 222, the City Commission continued Ordinance No. 2023-02 as presented to second reading on January 24, 2023.
