ORANGE COUNTY <br /> BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br /> AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br /> Meeting Date: February 3, 2009 <br /> Action Agenda <br /> Item No. <br /> SUBJECT: Zoning Atlas Amendment (Rezoning): Hillsborough Area Economic <br /> Development District <br /> DEPARTMENT: Planning and Inspections PUBLIC HEARING: (YIN) Yes <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> Craig Benedict, Director 245-2592 <br /> Robert P. Davis, Planner III 245-2583 <br /> PURPOSE: To reschedule the public hearing concerning the review of a rezoning petition <br /> seeking to rezone several properties within the Hillsborough Economic Development District. <br /> BACKGROUND: This item was reviewed at the November 24, 2008 Quarterly Public Hearing <br /> where the Board adjourned the hearing until February 3, 2009 in order to allow for the Planning <br /> Board to review the request and make a recommendation to the BOCC. The Planning Board <br /> reviewed this item at its meeting on January 14, 2009 and voted to recommend approval of the <br /> rezoning petition. <br /> However, approved minutes of the Planning Board meeting will not be ready in sufficient time to <br /> allow the County Commissioners to re-convene the public hearing on February 3, 2009 to take <br /> action on the petition. <br /> The Zoning Officer recommends the Board re-convene and then adjourn the hearing until March <br /> 17, 2009. This will allow for the minutes to be completed and approved by the Planning Board <br /> for the County Commissioners to review. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact with re-convening the public hearing and <br /> adjourning it until March 17, 2009. The public hearing was previously advertised as part of the <br /> November 24, 2008 Quarterly Public Hearing advertisement and the Board may continue the <br /> hearing to a date and time certain without re-advertising the hearing. <br /> RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends the Board: <br /> 1. Re-convene the public hearing on this item, <br /> 2. Adjourn the hearing to March 17, 2009 to allow for the Planning Board to review and <br /> approve the minutes from its January 14, 2009 meeting. <br />
