Mr. Kotulla stated that the proposed revision is being drafted in conformance with the legal requirements of Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes. Mr. Kotulla further stated that the adoption of the Zoning Ordinance under Chapter 163, in conjunction with the

Subdivision Regulations, which are also being rewritten for adoption under Chapter 163, will give the County the unified authority and power to control development and implement the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Kotulla stated that the adoption under Chapter 163 will also enable the County to utilize existing Case Law should the Ordinance or parts thereof, be challenged.

Mr. Kotulla stated the following procedures to be complied

with for adopting the Zoning Ordinance under Chapter 163:

1. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall hold preliminary hearings and conferences, at such times and places, and upon such notice as it deems necessary, to inform itself and the public, in the preparation of a Tenative Report.

2. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall then make a Tentative Report to the Board of County Commissioners.

3. Within thirty (30) days, or other reasonable time agreed upon, the Board of County Commissioners shall consider the Tenative Report, and shall return it, along with any suggestions and recommendations, to the Planning and Zoning Commission, who shall then prepare a Final Report.

4. The Planning and Zoning Commission shall then make a Final Report to the Board of County Commissioners. Such Final Report, however, shall not be made until the suggestions and recommendations of the Board of County Commissioners have been considered, and until at least one (1) public hearing with due public notice has been held.

5. The Board of County Commissioners shall then hold a public hearing with due public notice, prior to adopting the Zoning Ordinance.

Mr. Kotulla stated that a lot of small revisions and a lot of language has been adopted as required under Chapter 163. Mr. Kotulla informed the Board that one of the major changes is that what were Conditional uses under the present Ordinance, are now Special Exceptions, and the Board of Adjustment make the final decision to approve or deny, rather than the Board of County Commissioners. Mr. Kotulla stated that one reason the final draft is taking longer is that for every Special Exception listed, Sandy Minkoff, County Attorney's Office, wants the Planning and Zoning Department to come up with the conditions that you would have to meet on a piece of property, such as lot size, minimum frontage, operating hours, etc.

Mr. Kotulla stated that another major change that the Planning and Zoning Board recommended was the minimum lot size for Agriculture be reduced from five (5) acres to four and one- half (4 l/2) acres.

Commr. Windram questioned whether the agricultural zone should be a subdivision zone. Commr. Windram stated that the development of agricultural lands, without really being bona fide for agricultural use, would be encourgaged.

Mr. Kotulla stated that another change was the creation of a new district referred to as a PFD, Public Facility District, which would consist of public facilities such as fire stations, airports, cemeteries, marinas, etc.

Discussion occurred regarding the creation of an RV Zoning District strictly for travel trailers.

Discussion occurred regarding the lenient or stringent wording of the stipulations and definitions in the proposed Zoning Ordinance.

Commr. Burhans questioned Section 25 Supplementary Regulations, of the proposed Ordinance regarding restrictions on convalescent homes and requested Chris Ford, County Attorney, to research.

Mr. Kotulla informed the Board of another major change being the reduction from the present ten members to seven on the Planning and Zoning Board.

Discussion occurred regarding Section 34, Complaints Regarding Violations, which establishes a procedure for processing complaints filed regarding violations of the Ordinance, and establishes violations as misdemeanors, punishable by fine, imprisonment, or both. Chris Ford, County Attorney, stated that the State Attorney's Office would make the primary determination of any criminal action.

Mr. Kotulla stated that the third draft should be completed within the next two or three weeks, but not later than one month. Mr. Kotulla further stated that the Planning and Zoning Board instructed him to send it to them for review after completed.

Commr. Carson stated that the permitted uses listed in the nineteen zones should be carefully considered. Commr. Carson further stated that he had attended the "2000 Growth Management Plan" meeting last week. Commr. Carson stated that the meeting was an overall growth management plan for the whole state, but based on a lot of the comments resulting from the meetings of the various groups in the conference, things are going to affect Chapter 163 as it is now written.

ORDINANCES

Jerry Sexton, Planning and Zoning Coordinator, appeared before the Board to discuss the creation of an Ordinance that would allow mobile homes in a zoning district on less than five acres, but on more than 5,000 feet. Mr. Sexton stated that today the discussion would consist of all of the mobile home zoning districts and all of the areas that are mixed.

Mr. Sexton informed the Board that in the existing Zoning Districts that allow mobile homes, there are 2,369 acres in RM (mobile home subdivisions), 4,940 acres in RMRP (rental parks), and 968 acres in R-l-5 (mixed zoning).

Mr. Sexton stated that the current Zoning Ordinance was adopted in 1971 with 65 subdivisions that would allow a conventional dwelling or a mobile home, and with the majority of the subdivisions being zoned in agriculture.

Mr. Sexton further stated that currently the County has 968.5 acres in R-l-5. Mr. Sexton stated that he feels there is a need for a l/2 acre or one acre lot only in the identified mixed areas. Mr. Sexton further stated that there is a problem with establishing the boundaries.

Commr. Smoak stated that it was his interpretation of the research not to expand mixed areas any place in the County.

Mr. Randy Goodman, owner of Randy's Mobile Homes Sales, Tavares, stated to the Board that he is on the Board of Directors with the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, Inc. Mr. Goodman stated that mobile homes are built to the Housing Urban Development Code whereas manufactured houses are built to the Southern Building Code. Mr. Goodman discussed the differences in construction standards, and the County not allowing HUD Code homes in residential areas.

Mr. Goodman stated that Mr. Dick Kuhn was the Community Planner of the Florida Manufactured Housing Association, Inc. Mr. Goodman suggested the Board allow Mr. Kuhn to appear before them and discuss the proposed Ordinance and the fine lines between HUD and the Southern Building Code.

Commr . Carson informed Mr. Goodman that there is about 8,000 acres of the County already zoned for mobile homes, and all it needs is development.

Mr. Charles Carlton, Manager of Baird Mobile Homes, Leesburg, stated that there was a need to look at places to put new homes that have less than five acres.

Ml-. Paul Lorentz, representing the Wekiva River Acres Property Owners Association, stated that there is a definite need in Lake County for proper zoning for one acre lots for mobile homes. Mr. Lorentz stated that owners of mobile homes should have the same opportunity as owners of conventional dwellings as to the construction of their homes. Mr. Lorentz further stated that there needs to be an MRR Zoning with exactly the same requirements as RR.

Mr. Goodman stated that there are problems with the mobile home parks because of limited spaces available. Mr. Goodman further stated that he has comparisons for the construction and for financing of mobile homes versus manufactured homes.

Commr . Smoak stated that he would like to see a feasible way to develop and build a program in the identified areas of the existing housing mix, keeping in mind that the County does not want to expand that housing mix today. Commr. Smoak further stated that the County should continue to look at new housing construction. Commr. Smoak stated that there is an existing problem in Lake County in the geographically known housing mixes where mobile homes exceed conventional built homes, and that if the County could determine a specific boundary and allow it to fill in those areas, we would not be doing anything more than resolving an existing problem which is going to continue to exist.

The Board requested Mr. Sexton to look at new zoning districts including all areas in the County where there is an existing mixed or non-conforming mixed.
