Body
Strategic Plan:
Ensure Public Health, Safety, and Welfare
2.1 Provide planning, coordination, prevention, and protective services to ensure a safe and secure community
Practice Superior Environmental Stewardship
3.3 Protect and improve the quality of our water, air, and other natural resources
Summary:
As a result of a proposed overhaul of the Land Development Code, the above three mentioned sections are proposed to be moved to Chapter 58 of the County Code where they are better aligned. Minor changes are being proposed to these sections which are being realigned largely intact, with mostly numbering and terminology modifications to achieve consistency with the Land Development Code should it be amended as proposed. The only other change included is the consolidation of the assessment dredging language currently within the Water and Navigation regulations into Chapter 110 of the Pinellas County Code with the other special assessments. There are no substantive changes to programs or practices with this amendment.
Background Information:
This amendment is solely related to moving certain sections of the code to the appropriate location. There are no changes to the Board’s existing policies or staff practices.
