Russo, City Manager Lynn M. Dannheisser, City Attorney Jane A. Hines, City Clerk Memorandum TO: FROM: DATE: RE: The Honorable City Commission Lynn M. Dannheisser, City Attorney November 20,2003 Ordinance Providing for the City Manager's Interpretation of Land Development Regulations RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Ordinance providing for City Manager determinationslinterpretations of Land Development Regulations. REASON(S): As the new Land Development Regulations adopted by the City Commission are applied in specific cases, to either the development review process or the intent of specific land development regulations require a determination or interpretation, as the case may be. Inasmuch as the Mayor has directed the staff wherever possible, not to delay the development review process, I am recommending this ordinance, which will allow the City Manager or his designee to make a determination on the development review process or an interpretation of a zoning regulation, giving due consideration to the intent of the drafters. The ordinance provides an appeal by an aggrieved party directly to the City Commission from a direction by the City Manager and provides that the City or City staff ca initiate an ordinance to be adopted, if, without that legislation, public uncertainty and confusion would result. In any case, the City Manager's decision shall be binding on all parties until a final action by the City Commission or unless the Commission has reversed the City Manager's decision upon appeal.
