The purpose of the rules is to amend the City of Apalachicola’s land use regulations and zoning code; and establish a planning pause for preparation of amendments to comprehensive plan and land development regulations. The City of Apalachicola adopted Ordinances for this purpose to include: Ordinance 2005-05 amends Section J of the City of Apalachicola land development code relating to the land use category description for C-1 Commercial Zone District. Ordinance 2006-01 amends the City of Apalachicola land use category description for the C-4 Commercial Zoning District to reflect what is allowed under the provisions of the comprehensive plan. Ordinance 2005-08 provides additional clarity regarding the permitting of transient lodging facilities and establishes minimum criteria to ensure that transient lodging facilities do not become permanent living accommodations. Ordinance 2005-09 provides a pause in permitting while staff prepares amendments to the comprehensive plan and land development regulations in order to bring consistency between the two documents and to further address impacts to the environment and community character. Ordinance 2006-02 amends 2005-09 concerning a temporary moratoria on the issuance of multi-family and hotel/motel units building permits. The moratoria was intended to last six months, but can be extended for finding of “good cause.” The modification involves clarification of Section 4 to identify that development within the C-1 General Commercial District and C-4 the Commercial District is exempt from the conditions of the moratoria.
