COMMISSION MEMORANDUM |
| | | |
| | | | | | | | | TO: | Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission | | | FROM: | Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager | | | DATE: | May 17, 2017 | | | |
| | SUBJECT: | REFERRAL TO THE LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE AND THE PLANNING BOARD - LAND USE BOARD RENEWABLE ENERGY FEE WAIVER. |
| | | |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
| | Refer the item to the Land Use and Development Committee and Planning Board for consideration and recommendation. |
| | | |
| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| On April 19, 2017, the Sustainability and Resiliency Committee (SRC) discussed incentives for renewable forms of energy, such as solar panels. Under certain circumstances, some renewable energy projects may be required to go to the Design Review Board and Historic Preservation Board, and there are fees associated with these land use board review processes.
The SRC recommended that an ordinance amendment, to further incentivize the installation of solar panels and renewable forms of energy, by waiving the fees relating to any required land use board review, be referred to the next available Land Use and Development Committee meeting. Since this proposal would amend the fee schedule (Appendix) of the Land Development Regulations, Planning Board review of the draft ordinance would also be required.

| | | |
| | | | | | | | CONCLUSION
| | Pursuant to the recommendation of the Sustainability and Resiliency Committee, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission refer the item to the Land Use and Development Committee, as well as the Planning Board. |
