Privileged and Confidential
2008 Ballot Question
Question No. 1
Shall Article II, Section 6 D.1. of the City Charter,
“Requirements for Adoption,” be amended to provide:
Effective upon passage of this amendment, any ordinance that
amends land use and development regulations in any manner to make them
less restrictive shall require five affirmative votes of the City
Commission?
I was told that a substantial number of the voters answered this
question in the affirmative.
So the question is what is a development regulation. If the
zoning map is a regulation, and I think that Mr. Brimo said it was, or
at some point it was defined by ordinance as part of the regulations,
then it would take 5 votes to change the map. Metro South applied to
change the map, as I remember their request. Check with Mr. Brimo as to
their request.
Thank you
Very truly yours,
