Michael Harvey said he would not go that far. He said the rationalization could no longer be used to justify the imposition of the condition. Tony Blake asked if this state law applies to existing matters. Michael Harvey said thankfully there are no cases before the Board that pre-date this. He said if there were, this rule would apply. He said there is no grandfathering with this session law. Commissioner Price asked if a person could reapply if they had been previously been denied a special use permit on a 2-3 vote. Michael Harvey said the person would have to wait one calendar year. He said there have been no denials in the past year. Commissioner Dorosin asked what the anticipated impact of this will be. Michael Harvey said he foresees no major impact; it just changes the nature of the game. John Roberts said it is not going to have a substantial impact on Orange County, though it does substantially change the ordinance and the statute. Tony Blake asked if this is about the Hwy 751 development. Michael Harvey said he will not speculate on this. He thinks the changes with respect to voting were intended to bring this in line with what the County Commissioners are already doing.
