SUBJECT
ITEM No.
An Ordinance amending the City of South Miami Land Development Code, Section 20 -6.1
(B)(2)(d) and (e), concerning meeting schedules for the Planning Board.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
This item came up for discussion at the February 12, 2013 Planning Board meeting. Staff
requested that the Planning Board consider a reduction in the number of regular meetings from
two to one, with the provision that a special meeting could be called by the Chairman or the
Planning & Zoning Director if a second, special meeting was necessary to conduct City business.
The primary reason for the request is a reduction in the number of cases currently going before
the Board for review and recommendation. Rather than post a meeting cancellation when there is
no business to be addressed, administratively it is simpler to reduce the required number of
meetings with the option to call a special meeting if necessary. The proposed amendment will
not have a negative impact on the timeline for getting the items before the City Commission for
approval. The Planning Board had no objection to the proposed reduction in monthly meetings,
from two to one.
The proposal is as follows:
20 -6.1 - Administrative entities
(B) Planning Board.
(2) Organization.
(a) The board organization, procedures, meeting notice and meeting
conduct shall be in accordance with bylaws adopted by the board.
