B.Creating Section 8.02.02(L), Special Public Events Sites Presentation by Assistant County Attorney III Katherine Barbieri. Request creating a new section to land development code. On 12‐4‐2018 the BOCC Planning & Zoning Commission Meeting Thursday, July 16, 2020 6:00 PM 3 | P a g e adopted ordinance 18.013 which amended the land development code temporary uses by many requirements are paragraph J authorizing special vehicles, recreational vehicles, motor and boat sales events on site that was in response to a complaint about sales and the effects they had on the neighbors, the properties etc.. It also caused where the Community Development Director now the P&Z Director could not approve special public events on properties like the Fair Grounds. This has prevented special events expositions from taking place in St. Lucie County such as outdoor shows, trade shows etc. Like if you had an event for an outdoor show they would have boats, RV sales and all the things needed for that, we could not have that at the Fairgrounds right now because of the amendment. So we are proposing a new section 8.02.02(L) that would allow special events on properties that have enough room for it, that can accommodate to solve the complaints for outdoor restrooms. One of them would be the Fairgrounds and instead of providing all the parameters, this time what we are proposing is that we would allow it and then by resolution to the BOCC we would create the parameters for it. We have been looking into the Palm Beach County that allows it, they require a permit and have parameters set. No opposition at the time. We are proposing that you forward the recommendation of approval to the BOCC. Chairman O'Dell requested comments from fellow chair members. There were none.
