Okay, great. This is our very short LPA meeting prior to our official commission meeting. Amy.

0:27 – 1:34Speaker 2

Good evening, Casey. Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, and Commissioners, members of the LPA. The ordinance on tonight's agenda is updating the platting procedures in Chapter 265 of the Land Development Regulations. This is to come into compliance with state legislation from last year, which requires all platting procedures now to be processed administratively. So the ordinance identifies the planning and zoning director as the administrative authority to complete the intake and processing of the plat application. And it identifies the city manager as the administrative authority to approve, approve with conditions or deny a plat application. Additionally, our current ordinance only contemplated subdivisions, which is when you divide one lot into three or more properties, but it did not contemplate if you just need to replant one lot or split one lot into two. So we mimicked the procedures that are established by Miami-Dade County, massaged them to fit our community, and that's what's before you in this ordinance. Great. Thank you. Do we have any public speakers?

1:36Speaker 3

Okay. Any questions or comments from the commission?

1:40Speaker 3

All right. I'll take a motion.

1:45Speaker 1

All in favor? Aye. Aye. Thank you. The resolution, excuse me, the recommendation will be made to the city commission.

1:54Speaker 3

All right. So with that, we will adjourn and reconvene in seven minutes. Thank you.
