CRA - ALTERNATIVE COMPLIANCE
end
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:executive summary
The proposed ordinance revises the standards, criteria and process to obtain alternative compliance in Community Redevelopment Areas (CRA).
body
BACKGROUND/RELATED STRATEGIC GOAL:
Alternative Compliance is a request to deviate from the requirements of Article 12, Community Redevelopment Code, Land Developments Regulations, Martin County Code. Currently, to obtain alternative compliance, an applicant submits an application to the Growth Management Department. The application is analyzed and may be approved by the Growth Management Director upon a finding that the alternative plan fulfills the purpose of Article 12 better than strict adherence to the requirements of Article 12 and/or would help carry out the specific goals or objectives outlined in a particular CRA Community Redevelopment Plan. The revisions change the criteria and the method of approval for requests for alternative compliance. The revisions are in the best interests of the public because they revise the criteria for consistency with Florida law and provide notice and an opportunity to be heard for the neighbors surrounding the property subject to the request.
The ordinance would not require any additional compliance costs for businesses or residents. Currently, the application fee for alternative compliance is $240 and that fee is not being changed by the ordinance.
