Fort Walton Beach Council agenda — 06-08-2010 Regular — reading text

to the Future Land Use Map Series: The Future Land Use Maps may be amended 1910 by following the process specified for making land use map amendments in the LDC. It is not 1911 necessary to amend the Future Land Use Maps when a rezoning occurs within the same land use 1912 category or when a down -zoning occurs to lessen density or intensity of development within the 1913 same land use category. 1914 1915 Zoning Maps: The LDC will contain the Zoning Code of the Code of Ordinances4 for the City of 1916 Fort Walton Beach, as well as, the Official Zoning map. The Zoning Code and Official Zoning 1917 Maps are designed to implement the Future Land Use Maps. Thus, within any given future land 1918 use category there may be one or more zoning districts considered consistent with a particular 1919 future land use designation. For example, the future land use designation " MEDIUM DENSITY 1920 RESIDENTIAL" category includes several zoning districts, R -2 and R -2A, the uses in which are 1921 permitted on lands within that future land use designation. 1922 1923 Implementation of the Future Land Series: The Future Land Use Map Series will be 1924 implemented through inclusion within the LDC of the necessary implementation techniques 1925 required to promote, control and regulate -land uses. Those techniques include a zoning 1926 ordinance, subdivision regulations, urban design standards and any other- land management 1927 devices necessary to implement FLUE Policy A. 1- 2 as well as other ordinances controlling land 1928 development or construction practices. 1929 1930 Section 3. Conflicting Provisions 1931 To the extent of any conflict between other City ordinances and this ordinance, this 1932 ordinance shall be deemed to be controlling. 1933 1934 Section 4. Severability 1935 If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phrase or portion of this ordinance is, for any 1936 reason, held to be invalid or unconstitutional by the decisions of any court of competent 1937 jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portions thereof. 1938 1939 Section 5. Effective Date 1940 This Ordinance shall become effective when the state land planning agency issues a final 1941 order determining that the adopted amendment is in compliance, or, if applicable, when the 1942 Administration Commission issues a final order determining the adopted amendment to be in 1943 compliance. 1944 1945 12009. 1946 Adopted Mike Anderson, Mayor 1947 1948 Attest: Approved for form and legal sufficiency. 1949 1950 FWB 2010 -2020 Comprehensive Plan I The Future Land Use Element EAR Based Amendment I STRIKE -THRU VERSION 166 1951 Helen Spencer, City Clerk Toni L.
