…body
EXPLANATION: An update of Wellington’s Comprehensive Plan (Comp Plan) was adopted and is now in effect. There are a few modifications to Article 6 of Land Development Regulations (LDR) that need to be updated so that the LDR is consistent with the Comp Plan.
Article 6 establishes zoning districts in Wellington. It is being updated to include zoning regulations, specific to building height that were placed in the Comp Plan and should be located in the LDR. Additionally, there are minor clean ups that include typos, minor clarifications, and any found scrivener’s errors. The context of these changes has not changed.
The proposed article is consistent with Florida Statutes, Wellington’s Comp Plan, and the policies and procedures as set forth by Wellington.
