themselves.
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONR
Mr. Hukill distributec~ the attached packet and reviewed the material covering the Land
Development Regulations from June 24 through December 23, 1996, including Code Section 7,
Article II. He also referred to meeting with the City Commission in workshop session to discuss
these amendments prior to the preparation of the proposed Ordinances in November.
Surety Requirement
Mr. Rosensteck referred to encountering problems with the surety provision with developers not
completing required landscaping. He explained how certain requirements should be included in
the surety at the time of development rather than being connected with the issuances of the CO.
Discussion ensued about the infrastructure improvements being covered with a Letter of Credit,
but private mprovements were not covered. There were comments made about the actual
completion probably not being undertaken by the City upon default by the developer. After further
discussion, Mr. Hukill clarified that it was the consensus to make a change with respect to
landscaping and have the staff prepare a recommendation and come back.
Mr. Hukill then referred to Mr. Aguila's comments and explainec~ how the Comp Plan must be
taken into consideration as well as other laws from other agencies. Mr. Aguila replied that he
believes strongly in local laws and agreea that he had not checked the Comp Plan, but did not
like holding people back with outside agencies.

Paqes 2-85, 2-86, and 2-88
Mr. Aguila referred to the Hurricane Evacuation Zone and Mr. Hukill pointed out that the.subjects
referred to were stated this way in the Comp Plan. Mr. Aguila continued that a developer should
not be held back if the Cityis at fault, such as the water supply not being sufficient. He stressed
that the City must keep up with projected development.
Tree Survey
Ms. Heyden questioned why the tree survey requirement was being removed, and Mr. Aguita
explained that it was covered in another section. Mr. Hukill added that inconsistencies were
being removed from the Code and this requirement should be left in Chapter 3 with the index
being corrected.
Paqe 6-2
Mr. Aguila referred to how a developer may not have any control over future development on
adjacent properties, and Mr. Hukill explained how this followed the original Comp Plan and the
purpose was to g~ve consideration to adjacent properties.
Paqe 21-14 - Non-conforminq Si.qns
Mr. Aguila asked if the date of December 31, 1999, applied to every non-conforming sign, and
Mr. Hukill explained that he inserted this date as it kept changing with each amendment to the
Code. He furtt~er explained that signs approved as part of a development order become a
development condition which is part of a negotiated zoning approval and are not covered by this
date. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz expressed discontent with it changing with each amendment and
agreed that December, 1999 should be adhered to. Mr. Aguila added that the sign code is
weakened with exceptions being granted.
Paqe 22-1 - Sidewalks
Mr. Aguila stated the section means every property owner in the City must build a sidewalk
whether being developed or not. Discussion followed how this was not required on cider lots,
infill ors or in certain circumstances. Mr. Hukill added that it is already in the Code and could be
enforced. Mr Reed pointed out that the reference to Article 4, Section 10, should be Article
3, Section 11 Mr. Hukill agreed to try to revise this paragraph so that it would not read that
sidewalks are required on properties with no activity.
Paqe 23-7 - Curb Stops

JANUARY 9, 1997
Mr. Aguila expressed opposition to not requiring either wheel stops or raised curbs with
landscaping in parking lots. Pros and cons were expressed by several participants. It was
agreed to give this sub_eot further thought.
Appeals Processes
Mr. Hukitl referred to appeals processes being scattered throughout various chapters of the Code
and he read how he had organized them in the first chapter.
Conceptual Review
Mr. Hukill told how developers request conceptual review by the City Commission and then
believe they have received approval. He stressed the importance [o clarify that what they have
received is an opinion with no rights and the developers must go through the entire process.
Development Orders
Mr. Hukill stated that the development orders have been very helpful and told how the City
Commission acts on the composite document with all the conditions and it becomes a matter of
record. Mayor Taylor referred to complaints being received from developers not getting the
conditions back prior to the meeting, and Mr. Hukill replied that this has accelerated the
procedure, but changes have been made different from what staff has reviewed.
Major Drivewav
Ms. Heyden asked if the threshold of 1,000 vehicles per day could be applied to public streets
and private streets, and Mr. Hukill agreed it could simply state "streets".
Monument Siqn
It was agreed to include a definition for monument/ground sign.
Development Review
Commissioner Bradley referred to the C.R.A.B. reviewing projects in the C.B.D. area and Mr.
Hukill pointed out that it states the C.R.A.B. assumes the Planning & Development Board
responsibilities in this area. Mayor Taylor expressed concern about the qualifications of the
members of the C.R.A.B. for this purpose, and Mr. Hukill stated that this was changed by
Ordinance.

Ms. Heyden stated that a definition of building height is desperately needed and Mr. Hukill told
about this being included in the departmental policy, but he will put this on the list for
consideration.
Site Plan Process
Ms. Heyden referred to this orocess allowing multiple opportunities to amend plans and
questioned whether the T.R.C. should be given this authority. After discussion about the potential
of this, Mr. Hukill agreed to review this process.
Commissioner Titcomb referred to upgrading partial areas and how additional things were
required, and Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz addedthat properties in decrepit condition should be made
to come into compliance. Discussion ensued about the extent of improvements and not
restraining people or requiring too much. After a long discussion, Ms. Heyden suggested taking
this out now and using it as a development incentive. Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz continued with
stressing that attractive landscaping was more important than parking spaces. It was agreed to
have the consultant look at this further.
OUTLINING THE CITY'S HUD ENTITLEMENT PROGRAMS AND REVIEW THE ASSOCIATED
CONSOLIDATED PLAN PROJECT
Mr. Hawkins announcea that the City will be receiving $561,000 from the Federal government,
and he will cover the rules and regulations for spending that money. He then introduced Ms.
Dorothy El!ington, Community Development Coordinator for the City of Delray Beach, to tell about
their experience with these funds.
Ms. E/lington referred to the opportunities available with this grant and how other opportunities
open for other grants but stressed the mportance of pub c c t zen part c pation She to d about
EJ ' '
elray Beach being consistent with the use of one plan, [heir Comp P an, and explained creative
budgeting. She told about not lowering their standards, but citing things and giving the people
the money to make'the improvements. One incentive which has been very successful is having
their C.R.A. pay interest on loans to businesses located in the C.R.A. She pointed out that the
Federal money must benefit the Iow income neighborhoods. She stated that the majority of their
¢noney has been spent for housing, but they have done infrastructures, installed sidewalks, water
and sewer lines. She also stressed the importance of the money being spent on house
rehabilitations for o~vner-occupied units. She told about money given to landlords to improve their
properties and als~improvements made at Pompey Park She told about a code enforcement
officer going to a blighted area door-to-door citing people but then educating them. She referred
to the grant having broad rules and regulations, but stated we must be careful not to exceed the
20% cap on administrative funding.

Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz asked if the entire amount is disbursed at one time, and Ms. Ellington
explained that a Letter of Credit is received and the funds not spent can be carried over [o the
next year. She explained how the City funded them and they were reimbursed. She added that
the Finance Department billed the Community Improvement Department monthly.
Commissioner Titcomb asked if private groups could access these funds, and Ms. EIlington
informed him that 15% of the dollars could go for that type of:aotMty. She told about the tennis
center rehabilitation of their building and paying salades at the day care center.
Mr. Hawkins reviewed Page 2 of his handout. He added that he wanted to hire a consultant to
write our consolidated plan. Ms. Ellington stated that they basically used their housing element
from their Comp Plan, and Mr. Hawkins stated thatwe need to address some issues statistically
since our plan was prepared in 1988. Aisc, the public must participate.
Mr. Hawkins outlined the C.R.A. area and Vice Mayor Jaskiewicz asked if it could be expanded.
Mr. Hawkins replied affirmatively, but guidelines must be met and Ms. Sherrod added that
geography is a large part of it, but the income of the.people Jiving in the area must be considered.
Mr. Hawkins then reviewed the consolidated plan, community profile, needs assessment, etc., and
stressed the statistics of the document with the consolidated plan to be submitted by August 17.
Mayor Taylor asked if we were being funded by the County prior to October, and Mr. Hawkins
replied negatively, but we do have money for this year.
Mr. Hawkins stated the Comm unity Redevelopment Division would be expanded and reviewed
the three new positions recommended.
Ms. Ellington added that they have expended general fund money at about $4,500 per unit for
exterior improvements. Mr. Hawkins stated that we are using TIF dollars to fund the employees
and the City put $57,000 into the Community Development budget. Ms. Eliington continued that
they get about $150,000 from Delray Beach.
Ms. Ellington told about rece~wng another Federal grant and having a developer build 256 multi-
family units. Mr. Hawkins added that 15% of these funds can go to outside activities and we plan
to have the CDC in Boynton Beach build infill housing. Commissioner Tillman referred to having
a developer develop the entire area and Mr. Hawkins explained how there could ce a competitive
application process with developers being partners.
Mr. Rosenstock told about his concern of having people moving into the area into iow income
housing, and Ms. Ellington told about the 256 units replacing demolished houses and how the
emphasis was on owner-occupied single-family units. Mr. Hawkins agreed the emphasis has

been on infilt single-family housing and over 30 have been built already. Mr. Hawkins stated that
we will not build multi-family rental property in our low income area. He continued that design is
very important and duplexes and quadraplexes with garages and yards can be affordable. We
are talking about upgraded high level construction emphasizing home ownership. Ms. Ellington
added that they did not relax their code and the developer put in driveways, landscaping, etc., in
a gated community. Commissioner Tillman agreed that things have changed, but stated if we
build substandard housing, we will get substandard residents,

PROPOSED,LDR CHANGES - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The attached booklet contains numerous changes to the Land Development Regulations which I
recommend be adopted. Following is a description'ofthe changes:
A. Appeals~ variances, exceptions~ etc.
Rationale. There are several dozen references in various places in the LDR dealing
with this subject. Procedures outlined therein are sometimes conflicting,
sometimes redundant and sometimes incomplete. For example, Chapter 2 outlines
a procedure for appealing administrative decisions, but by inclusion in that chapter,
Zoning, it is not clear whether the procedure applies to any other chapter. Chapter~
5 and 20 also outline admin/strative appeals, but they are different than each other,
and also different from Chapter 2.
Recommendation. ~Ve have collected all types of appeals in Chapter 1, General
Provisions, Article VII. The fzrst section of Article VII delineates the
administrative appeals processes for all matters whether they go to the Building
Board of Adjustment ,and Appeals, the Concurrency Review Board, the Board of
Zoning Appeals or the City Commission. Note: Administrative appeals are not
resolved by the Planning and Development Board because it is advisory, not quasi-
judicial. Sections 2, 3 and4 outline where a second-level appeal goes. Section 1,
paragraph C now requires an appellant to post surety to cover potential costs of
delays and damages as a precondition to a stay of the work order.
With respect to variances and exceptions, a new Article X has been added to
Chapter 1, General Requirements. It is not significantly different than current
widely disbursed sections of the LDR, but has been placed in Chapter 1 so as to
apply equally to all chapters.

Development order~s and develot~ment~perrnits.
Rationale. The difference between development orders and development
permits is unclear in the LDtL
-Recommendation. Definitions have been rewritten for development orders
~d ~ ~de~ vel0Pr0ent: per[ai~s. Orders relate, to,,fmal action by the City
Commission on:an application for general approvals such as a master plan, a
site plan or a plat Permits relate to final action by staff on an application to
construct. Development order procedures are,covered separately in Chapter
1, Article IX.
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 1, Article II, pages 1-15 and I-16
Major driveway
Rationale. Present definition does not define a threshold for volume of
traffic associated with the word "major."
bo
Recommendation. We have established a definitive threshold of 1,000
vehicles per day as the line between minor and major.
Portions of LDR revised:
Chapter 1, Article II, page 1-23
Chapter 7.5, Article II, Section 5 F and H, pages 7.5-16 and 7.5-17
Sign, area of sign, sign contractor electrical and sign contractor not electrical

Rationale. LDR does n6t distinguish between a development site plan and a
building site p!an even though many siibmissions (i.e. fences) do not require
nearly as much detail as site plans for entire developments.

si~e
6. Miscellaneous,definitions
Rationale. Some defm/fions are ~ncorrec~, confusing or redundant. Some
are missing.
bo
Recommendation. We have slightly modified definitions of"start of
construction," "work" and "zoning code" and added a definition for
"xeriscape."
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 1, Article II; page 1-32 and 1-37
7. F-tsual obstructions
Rationale. Present requirement for maximum height obstruction to
intersection visibility is too high for some vehicles.
Recommendation. We have lowered maximum obstruction height at
comers to 2'6".
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 2, Section 4E, page 2-6
Driveways
Rationale. Some confusion has resulted fxom a zoning chapter reference to
"accessways" when it is implicitly referring to driveways.
M~mo 96-063 to Carrie Parker
RE: Proposed LDR Changes - Executive Summary

Recommendation. We have replaced the word "accessways" with the word
dri ars.
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 2, Section 7H3, page 2-63
Recreation ad parks fees/dedieations
1. Rationale. This section contains redundancies, overwording, and incorrect
references.
Recommendation. We have changed a few words, eliminated redundancies and
eorrectedreferences, but none of these changes is significant.
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 1, Article V, pages 1-38 thru 1-43
Development reviews
1. Rationale. The entire process of development review has evolved over time, bm is
not clearly delineated in the LDR.
2. Recommendation. We have institutionalized the development review process from
technical reviews through issuance of development orders delineating final
Commission action.
Portions of LDR revised:
Chapter 1, Article VIII, pages 1-47 thru 1-49
Chapter 3, Article IV, Section 4, pages 3~6 and 3-7
Chapter 4, Section 4, pages 4-2 thru 4-4
Development orders

R~commendation~:We.have institutionalized'the development order process from
challenges to staff comments/recommendati0ns~arough final Commission action
and distribution.
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 1, Article IX, page 1-50
Group homes
1.
Rationale. Group homes are not included in the LDR, but they must be allowed in
some areas according to Florida statute.
Recommendation. We have referred to group homes as community residential
homes as required by law, and added them as an allowable use in residential
districts.
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 2, Section 5, pages 2-16 and 2-21
Suggested changes in comprehensive plan
Rationale. Several requirements/modifications suggested in the comprehensive
plan have not been placed in the LDR.

Je
Parking in residential driveways
Rational~ No requirement exists for parking except ADA stalls and lot spaces.
Lot spaces are 9 feet wide and under some circumstances can be 16 feet long.
Recommendatiom We have established a minimum §ize for the first residential
parking space on each prpper~~ as 12 feet w/de and t 8 feet long exclusive of fights-
of-way.
Portion of £DR revised:
Chapter 2, Section 11, page 2-101
Drainage
Rationale. Certification by design professionals is essential to establishing chain of
accountability in the development process. It is not consistently established in the
current LDR. Along with that, drainage requirements must be reasonable and
readable.
Recommendation. We have added a design professional certification to the
application process for site plans, and completely rearranged drainage requirements
associated with ir~astructure improvements.
Portions of LDR revised:
Chapter 4, Section 7F, page 4-6
Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 5, pages 6-7 thru 6-10
SllF~ty
1. Restoration surety
Rationale. No surety is currently required to cover the cost of damage to
haul roads or restoration of a site to its original condition upon developer
failure to complete.
Memo 96-063 to Carrie Parker

Surety for required improvements
Rationale. Surety' is currently required for all infrastructure improvements
associated with development. Some of the improvements will be
constructed, owned and maintained in perpetuity by the developer or his
successors/assigns, and the City will never assume ownership or
maintenance obligationS, for:them.: A surety is intended to protect the City,
and should be i~ted to.thc/se improvements tobe ox~med and/or
maintained by Me City.
Recommendation. We have revised surety requirements associated with"
construction of infrastructure to cover all work not constructed, owned and
maintained in perpetuity 'by the developer and his: successors and/or assigns.----
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 5, g~tiele V, Section 2A, pages 5-8 and 5-9
Surety for improvements subject to construction damage
Rationale. The LDR contains no provision for allowing late construction of
sidewalks and/or some landscaping subject to construction damage if
installed up front.
bo
Recommendation. We have written a proxdsion m allow submission of a
separate surety to cover the cost of improvements such as sidewalks and
some landscaping which would be subjected m potential damage if
constructed while heavy construction is still to occur.

Points of access
1. Rationale. LDR is confusing and incomplete
Recommendation. We have reorganized text to be more readable. In addition, we
have added a minimum spacing (130 feet) for driveways not on local streets.
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 6, Article,IV, Section 1, pages 6-5 and 6-6
Pavement
Pavement width
m
Rationale. LDR did not delineate points of measuremem when valley curbs
are present.
Recommendation. We,have established the point of measurement for
pavement width when a valley curb is present as centerline of the valley
curb. We have also eliminated refereneeto marginal access roads because
Boynton has none as defined by the County and State.
Portion of I, DR revised:
Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 10C, page 6-13
Pavement installation
Rationale. The current LDR does not require placement of pavement in two
lifts. The result is that often construction damages the new pavement and
goes uncorrected, or is corrected by patching.
bo
Recommendation. We have included a requirement that pavement be placed
in two separate lifts so that final result is intact.
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 10F, page 6-13
Pavement construction
Rationale. Actual construction requirements for pavemem are not included
in the LDR.
Memo 96-063 to Carrie Parker

Recommendation. We have written specific construction procedures into
the LDR.
Portions of LDR revised:
Chapter 6, Article IV, Section 1 OF, page 6-13
Chapter 23., Article II, Section Q, page 23q0
Excavating, filling and ~dredging
Rationale. Dredging wasSnadvertently omitted from thepresent LDR, and
thresholds were not established for determining when permit approval by the City
Commission is required.
Recommendation. We have added dredging as an additional part of excavation and
fill; we have added threshold amounts of dredged material as separate categories of
activities; and we have established that at least 1,000 Cubic yards of excavation or
fill must be proposed for moving on or off site before Commission approval is
sought. That will obviate the need for obtaining apermit from the Commission for
constrUctionofmost single family homes.
Portions of £DR revised:
Chapter 8, Article t~Secfion 2, page 8-1
Chapter 8, Article II, page 8-2
Chapter 8, Article III, pages 8-2 thru 8-4
So/l ~ting
Rationale. Soil testing is not un/versally covered in the LDIL
Recommendation. We have added wording allowing the Director of Development
to require certified soil tests when soil bearing capacity is not known~
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 20, Article I, Section 7, page 20-4
Recognition of neighborhoods
1. Rational~ Nothing in the LDR recognizes neighborhood associations.
Recommendation. We have established the right of neighborhood associations to ~
receive the same treatment with respect ~o identification signs as residential
subdivisions and residential developments subject to a license agreement with the .....
City.

Banners and signs
Banners
Rationale. Temporarybanners are, not specifically allowed in Boynton
Beach.
Recommendation. We have written conditions which will allow temporary
(2 weeks) banners not larger than 20 square feet to be placed on pr/vate
property other than setbacks, subject to removal within t2 hours of posting
of a tropical storm or hurricane watch.
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 21, Ar'dele IH, Section 6F, page 21-13
2. Non-conforming signs
Rationale. Date of removal of non-conforming signs floats with every LDR
change to Chapter 21; and definition of non-conforming sign~ was unclear.
Recommendation. We have established December 31, 1999 as the date of
removal for non-conforming signs, and modified the definition of non-
conforming signs.
Portion of LDR revised:
Chapter 21, Article III, Section 7, page 21-14
Interpretation of sign requirements
Rationale. LDR meaning of residential zone sign regulations was unclear.
Recommendation. We have limited the use of a sign on a permitted non-
residential building in a residential zone to advertising only the main use of
the premises; limited the height to 10 feet ilion a building and 6 feet if
fi'eeslandlng; and prohibited protrusion of signs on entry walls above the top
of the wall.

Recommendation. We have written the sidewalk construction requirements to
include'all lots~platted~or ~latted, and simplifieffthe waiver process so that the
Director of Development may waive the requirement under. Certain limited
conditions.

Application of parMng lot requirements
Rationale. Many citizens including, but not limited to, participants in the
recent Visioning conference have expressed outrage over the multiple design
and co~truction requirements which are triggered when reconstruction is
proposed at existing parking lots. '
Recommendation. -We have added twO additional conditions under which
some 0~,'al~ of the 5mprovements reqm'~ed:b~ the LDR can be relaxed or
waived. One condition e[igible for WaiVer'iS'for improvements of a

Recommendation. We have writxen out the requirement for wheel stops or
curbs in aiternate aisles in parking lots under the assnmption that if they
aren't needed at the Mail, they aren't needed in much smaller parking lots.

Re: LDR Revisions - Comments
Dear Mr. Aguila:
Today we first received your handwritten notes concerning proposed LDR revisions. Our responses are
as follows:
Pages 2-85, 2-86, 2-88. You asked a series of questions, all of which relate to the City"s
Comprehensive Plan. The changes on pages 2-85'and 2-86 were driven by Comp Plan
Future Land Use Element Goal 1. Objecnve 1.12, Pol/cy 1.12.2 which reads as follows:
~'Subsequent to plan adoption, modify the Land Development Regulations
to provtde that the C~ty shall reqmre that traffic impact statements for
residential projects of 100 dwelling units or more which are located in the
Hurricane Evacuation Zone, Include an evaluation of the affect of the
project on hurricane evacuation times..."
The change on page 2-88 was driven by Comp Plan Land Use Element Goal 1, Objective
12, Policy 1,12.1 which reads as follows:
"Subsequent to plan adoption, modify the Land Development Regulations
to provide that the City shall notify and shall solicit the comments of the
Palm Beach County Division of Emergency Management and the City's
R/sk Management Officer, prior to approving any increase in residential
dens[ties in the Hurricane Evacuation Zone above the maximum densities
allowed in the Coastal Management Element. if the ~roposed density
increase would result in an increase of 50 or more dwellings..."
Page 2-90. The change on page 2-90 wasdriven by Comp Plan Land Use Element Goal
1. Objective 1.4, Policy 1.4.5 which reads as follows:
"Subsequent to plan adoption, modify the Land Development Regulations
to provide that residential densities shall not be increased above those
which were assumed in projecting water demand in the potable water sub-
element..."
A similar policy (1.5.5) relates to sanitary sewer systems.

Page 21-14. The drop dead date for brin=~g signs in to conformance with the sign code
was changed to a specific date (December 3 I, 1999) from a generalization tha_t read
?~withiq,5 years fi-omthe date this ~sign code rakes effect?' because each revision of the
code couklbe:interpreted to mean the fiveyear exemption started over. You also asked
whethez a non, Conforming sign approved by the Commission would continue to be
exemptafter the drop dead date~. The:answe~is yes, it w0uld ~ontinue exempt because,
as part 0fa de~elopment,order.'.tlie approval haSthe fozee and effect'of any ordinance.

req~red in Section 5., The answer is contained' ~the r~f~enced' Chapter 6; Article IV in
general terms.. ~ concur; however; :that, flarthe? e~arificati0n wot~d'be ~,elpful~ which can
be satisfied by adding these words ont,.the end of theftrst semence: ,;.prior to the
issuance of a certificate of occupancy/completion anywhere on the lot."
Page 23-7. The wording you have seen eliminated curb stops between alternate rows of
parking, prlmarily on the basis of recem Commission approval 0fjust such an
arrangement at the Boynton Beach Mall. This proposal was discussed at length at a
Comm/ssion meeting, and has some support. Alternatively, a system requiring curbed
landscaped areas between rows was suggested, and received some support. I, too,
prefer the landscaping, but my vote doesn't count. A Commission consensus was not
reached. This prowision should be advanced for discussion at the January 9 workshop so
that it can be resolved.
Chapter 1. Your final comment was very general revolving around the new appeals
process found in Chapter 1, Article VII. Specifically, you asked who can appeal, what
can they appeal, and who can'they appeal to~ .The ~rst sentence of Section 1, paragraph
A clearly answers the first two parts of your question as follows:
"Appeals of decisions of an administrative official" (part I of your
question) may be taken by "any person aggrieved by any decision of an
administrative official" (part 2 oi'your question).
As for who takes the appeal, paragraph B stipulates that "appeals shall be filed.., with the
official fi-om who the appeal is taken..." (part 3 of your question).
You further commented that appeals should be looked at by the boards or commission.
-Paragraph D stipulates that the City has "several beards/commissions which deal with a
variety ofappeals...', then delineates those boards/commissions and exactly what appeals
are considered by each board/commission, as follows:
"1. The Building Board of Adju~xmem and Appeals will hear and decide
appeals...made im,.Chapter 20 and the various building codes and ordinances."

Status determined by the Secretary of the Department of Housmg and Urban Development whereby
a Metropolitan City is guaranteed as determined by formula set forth by the Homing and
Community DeVelopment Act of 1974 certain sums of money to assist states, counties, cities and
towns in devising innovative approaches to improve the physical, econormc' and somal' condmons' '
in Iow-income areas.
B. List Eligible Programs as Entitlement City.
City activities that are taken on by a municipality must meet three national objectives.
(i) Benefit low and moderate income persons.
Address slum and blight.
Meet a particular urgent community development need.
The following is a list of types of eligible activities:

C. & D. Define Consolidated Plan - Overview.
Since the enaelment of the 1974 Housing Act, HUD has required local governments m prepare local
housing planning documents as a condition to receive certain types of federal funding. Initially, a
Housing Assistance Plan (HAP) was required under the CDBG Program. As a result of the
Enactment of the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, local governments were
also required to prepare a Comprehensive Homeless Assistance Plan (CHAP). Three years later, the
Cranston-GonT~lez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990 mandated the preparation of the
Comprehensive housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) and the Community Development Plan.
The CHAS replaced the HAP and the CHAP. In addition to planning documents, HUD also required
the submission of applications in order to receive funds.
On January 5, 1995, HUD published Final Rule 24 cFR, Part 91, et al, Consolidated
Submission for Community Planning and Development Programs. This nde replaces regulations
for the CHAS and Community Development Plan and consolidates the planning and application
aspects of the CDBG, HOME and ESG Programs (among others) into a single, consolidated
submission. This document, the Five Year Consolidated Plan, replaces the CHAS, CDBG Final
Statement, ESG Application, HOME Program Description and Community Development Plan. The
process to develop the plan involves interaction among private citizens, representatives of local
government, various local, county and state agencies concerned with housing, social service and
non-housing community development needs, non-profit and for profit housing providers and other
representatives of various local institutions involved in the delivery of housing, supportive services
and non-housing community development needs.
The Annual Consolidated Plan is a component of the Five Year Consolidated Plan. The
~.ml~ P, lan se,n,, ~ ~ a~pplic, ation for funding for each program and must be prepared and
suermaea armumiy m tauo. lne Annual Plan describes all of the activities to be undertaken during
the next fiscal year that Utilizes formulagrants and program income. After a draft plan is written,
comments are received through public meetings/hearings and as a result of advertisements. These
are summarized and added to the annual plan.
G. Explain HUD Approval Process.
The Consolidated Plan is due 45 days before the fiscal year starts on October 1st. This yields a due
of August 17th. An assessment of the Plan is due from HUD within 30 days after approval.
