body
EXPLANATION: The Ordinance eliminates reference to the Code Enforcement Board (since none has existed for over 10 years), changes references to the Special Master to Special Magistrate to reflect the language used in Chapter 162 FS, and changes references to the Planning, Zoning and Building Department to the Planning and Development Services Department. It also eliminates Section 14.4.2 because those provisions are already contained in the Florida Building Code. The provisions currently in the LDR were originally taken from the Palm Beach County Code. The County's Growth Management Department is the Planning, Zoning and Building Department and Wellington's Growth Management Agency is the Planning and Development Services Department. Due to the extensive revisions to the Ordinance, staff recommends that the ordinance be re-advertised for a second reading at Council's first meeting in August.
