Land Development Regulations—The Case of the Missing Back-up Material

Would suggest reading the information below prior to watching the video.

Yesterday, I took a few minutes in front of the camera to talk about a situation that happened last week. It springs from last Tuesday's Lake Worth City Commission meeting (6/16) during a discussion about changes to the City's land development regulations (LDRs). It turns out that part of the back-up material the City Commission saw was different than what was seen by the Planning and Zoning Board (P & Z) and the Historic Resource Preservation Board (HRPB). Both advisory boards made recommendations to the City Commission without seeing a key portion of the proposed revisions to the code. I thought doing a video was the best way to explain the situation in an attempt to correct misleading information being spread around the city.

I reference the videos below during my talk. This first video is from the P&Z meeting of June 3, 2015.

And this is the HRPB meeting of June 10,  2015:

Aside from this glaring omission, below is an example of the blurry back-up material that was included in the City Commission's back-up material:
