EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
executive summary
Amendment of Section 3.201.C, Accessory Uses by Zoning Districts, Land Development Regulations is proposed to address a need recognized within Emergency Order 20-14 (Hobe Heights Flooding).

The proposed amendment is necessary in order to provide a solution which extends beyond the time permitted under Florida law for this emergency order and others in the future.
