Title
LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE AMENDMENT - LDCA-18-005882 Proposed Land Development Code Amendment to Conditionally Allow for Cut-ins on certain lots.
Body
BACKGROUND:
Mr. Craig Woodward, on behalf of Mr. Judd and Ms. Cienkus, has submitted an application to change the Land Development Code to conditionally allow for cut-ins in seawalls for certain lots at the end of a canal. Below, we have copied a portion of the application (the entire application package is attached to this report) addressing the Comprehensive Plan and proposed language to be added.
FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT: N / A
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the Planning Board deny LDCA 18-005882 based on the below findings:
1. The proposed amendment does not further the goals, objectives and policies of our Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed amendment does not support or further the goals of our existing codes, such as the Flood Plain, Land Development Code or protecting water quality.
3. There is no need or justification for the proposed amendment due to the lack of variances applied for seawall cut-ins.
4. There has been no comprehensive study on the potential impact to Marco Island as a whole, subject properties, adjacent properties to a seawall cut-in, flood plain designations, storm surge, wave actions, etc.
5. The proposed amendment is narrow in scope and will grant special privilege on just a few single-family lots not available to other single-family lots.
6. The proposed amendment will not benefit the whole of the community.
POTENTIAL MOTION: As deemed appropriate.
