H. FIRST READING OF ORDINANCE
3. Ordinance Adopting a Proposed Amendment to the Ocoee Land Development
Code - Extension of Preliminary and Final Subdivision /Site Plan Approvals until
March 1, 2014. (Second Reading and Public Hearing scheduled for March 6, 2012, Regular
Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter). (City Planner Rumer)
Chapter 180 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Ocoee, Florida, also known as the Ocoee Land
Development Code, Article IV, sets forth certain time periods following approval of Preliminary
Subdivision & Preliminary Site Plan (collectively, "Preliminary Plans ") within which a Final Plan
approval must be obtained. Preliminary Plan approval by the City Commission shall be automatically
voided if the Final Site Plan (for either the entire project or the approved first phase) is not approved
within one (1) year (LDC, Article IV, Section 4 -3, A, (6), & Section 4 -3, C, & Section 4 -4.G, (1), (g)).
Additionally, the Ocoee Land Development Code, Article IV, also sets forth certain time periods
following approval of Final Subdivision & Final Site Plan (collectively, "Final Plans ") within which
construction must commence. The Ocoee Land Development Code provides for the automatic
termination of Preliminary Plans and Final Plans if the subsequent events required by the Land
Development Code do not occur (LDC, Article IV, Section 4- 4.G(3) & Section 4 -5.G).
During the 2011 legislative session, a law was passed providing for an additional two year extension
under Section 73 of Chapter 2011 -139 (House Bill 7202). Per Section 73 of Chapter 2011 -039 (House
Bill 7207), staff is proposing to amend Section 4 -12 of the City of Ocoee Land Development Code to
provide an additional two year extension. All approved Preliminary and Final Plans will have an
expiration date of March 1, 2014, dependent on special circumstances that may arise for individual
projects.
4. Ordinance Approving and Adopting the New Boundaries for the Commission
Districts of the City of Ocoee. (Second Reading and Public Hearing scheduled for March 6,
2012, Regular Commission Meeting at 7:15 p.m. or soon thereafter). (City Clerk Eikenberry)
The 2011 Redistricting Commission was appointed by the City Commission and held several meetings
between July — August, 2011, including an advertised Public Hearing on August 31, 2011. The
Districting Commission presented a report to City Commission on September 6, 2011, advising of its
preferred plan as well as two other options. On November 15, 2011, the Commission selected the Plan
known as Board Plan 6- Revised, and directed staff to bring back an ordinance adopting the new
boundaries set forth in this Plan.
