STAFF REPORT
DATE: December 4, 2002
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners,`
FROM: Jennifer Willman, Senior Planner ?A j
THROUGH: Russell B. Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning
SUBJECT: Amendment to Land Development Code(Ordinance 2003-01)
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners adopt Ordinance 2003-01 amending the Land
Development Code to: 1) change Development Review Fees definitions, 2) add a School Board
representative to the Planning and Zoning Commission as a non-voting member, and 3) add
"Auto Body Repair Shop" as a permitted use in the I-1 zoning district?
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION:
Ordinance 2003-01 would amend the Ocoee Land Development Code in three places. These
changes relate to:
1. Development Review Fees.
• Subsection A (4) and A (8) of Section 1-12 of Article 1 would be amended to
remove advertising costs from the definition "Flat Fee" and include advertising
costs in the definition "Review Costs" paid by the applicant.
• This amendment is consistent with recent changes in fees. Since advertising
costs are variable, it is appropriate that the applicant pay for advertising separate
from the "Flat Fee."
2. Planning and Zoning Commission.
• Subsection A of Section 3-2 of Article 3 would be amended to add a
representative of the Orange County School Board to the Planning and Zoning
Commission (P&Z) as a non-voting member.
• This non-voting member appointed by the School Board would attend meetings
at which the P&Z considers comprehensive plan amendments and rezonings that
would, if approved, increase residential density on the property that is the subject
of the application. This is a new State requirement to improve public school
facility planning.
3. Permitted Uses in Zoning District I-1.
• Table 5-1 "Use Regulations" of Article 5 would be amended to add "Auto Body
Repair Shop" as a permitted use in Zoning District I-1. (See Attachment 'A'.)
• This use was previously allowed in I-1, but was removed a few years ago and
recently it was requested that the use be added back to Table 5-1. This use is
typically permitted in the I-1 Zoning District.

Planning&Zoning Commission
December 4, 2002
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
At their meeting on December 3, 2002, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public
Hearing regarding the proposed changes to the Land Development Code. There was no one
from the public present to speak on this issue. The P&Z had a few questions concerning the
School Board representative that would serve as a non-voting member of their Board. They
encouraged Staff to solicit someone from Ocoee or the surrounding area to best represent our
interests with the School Board. At the end of the discussion, the P&Z voted unanimously to
recommend approval of Ordinance 2003-01.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Based upon the recommendation of the Planning and Zoning Commission, staff recommends
that the Mayor and City Commissioners adopt Ordinance 2003-01 to amend the Land
Development Code.
