Mr. Anon read the item into the record
Mr. Roth called on City staff for their presentation. Ms. Frazier reviewed that this item
was tabled at last month's meeting because the newspaper inadvertently did not publish
the notice. She explained that the Marine Resources Council of East Florida would like
their existing conservation property that they purchased in 2005 to meet the
requirements of their Florida Communities Trust grant that helped them purchase this
property by changing the land use to the appropriate conservation land use in the City.
Currently, it has a land use of Low Density Residential, and this property cannot be
used for that land use and must be changed. Mr. Qizilbash questioned the wording in
the amendment document, and Ms. Frazier stated the existing land use designation is
Low Density Residential Land Use (LDR), and they want to change it to Conservation
Land Use (CON).
Mr. Roth called for public input on this item. Seeing no one in chambers and hearing no
one on Zoom who wished to speak, Mr. Roth closed public input and called on the
Commissioners for questions/comments. There being no discussion by the
Commissioners, Mr. Roth called for a motion on this item. A motion recommending to
