Quasi-judicial proceedings must be conducted with more formality than a legislative proceeding. In quasi-judicial proceedings, parties are entitled - as a matter of due process - to cross-examine witnesses, present evidence, demand that witnesses testify under oath, and demand a decision based on a correct application of the law and competent substantial evidence in the record.

 

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

 

RECOMMENDATION

1.                     Move that the Board receive and file the agenda item and its attachments including the staff report as Exhibit 1.

2.                     Move that the Board adopt the Resolution approving the final site plan and the Preserve Area Management Plan for The Preserve at Rio Marine Village project.
