Martin County Updates Land Development Regulations to Align with State Statute Changes
- Meeting Overview:
In a recent meeting, the Martin County Local Planning Agency unanimously approved an amendment to the county’s land development regulations, aligning them with changes to Florida’s chapter 177 platting regulations. This adjustment shifts the plat approval process from requiring public hearings to a staff-level approval, as mandated by the updated state statute.
County Engineer Michael Gresilka explained that the amendments were necessary to ensure consistency with the new state regulations. The modifications include adjustments to the subdivision regulations and revisions to signature blocks. During the discussion, it was noted that section 4.911E was initially proposed to be included in the regulations but was ultimately removed. This decision was made to avoid potential challenges under House Bill 180, which could be triggered if the provision was deemed more than state requirements.
