§ 21-502. Public hearing for a plan amendment.

As outlined in section 163.3184, F.S., a public hearing is required when proposing to adopt an ordinance to amend the comprehensive plan, and to transmit a proposed amendment by resolution to DCA. According to State law, the following sections (a) and (b) must be adhered to:

(a)

This public hearing shall be held on a weekday at least seven (7) days after the day that the first advertisement is published. The intention to advertise and hold a second public hearing when the amendment comments are returned from DCA, shall be announced at the first public hearing.

(b)

The advertisement must state the title of the ordinance, rather than specify that the local government proposes to change the use of land, as was required by the 1994 Growth Management Act.

(c)

Except for amendments which change the text of the comprehensive plan, the advertisement shall contain a geographic location map which clearly indicates the area covered by the proposal. The map shall include major street names as a means of identification of the area.
