explanation
The above-referenced ordinance has been prepared pursuant to City Commission action requesting the City Attorney's Office to prepare the appropriate ordinance amending the City of Gainesville 2000-2010 Comprehensive Plan.
Florida Statutes set forth the procedure for adoption of an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. The second hearing will be held at the adoption stage of the ordinance and must be advertised approximately five (5) days after the day that the second advertisement is published.
The State of Florida Department of Community Affairs issued a letter dated March 29, 2004, stating that this amendment need not be formally reviewed for consistency with Chapter 163, F.S. The Department also waived preparing an Objections, Recommendations and Comments Report. A copy of their letter is attached to this memorandum. Therefore, the City may now proceed with the final adoption of this ordinance.
The Plan amendment will not become effective until the State Department of Community Affairs issues a final order determining the adopted amendment to be in compliance in accordance with the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, or until the Administration Commission (Governor and Cabinet) issues a final order determining the adopted amendment to be in compliance.
