The Planning and Zoning Commission (P &Z)
An advisory only board of nine appointed
representatives that meets on the third Thursday of each
month. The meetings are held in the County Commission
chambers on Rosalind Ave. The public can attend and speak,
but each speaker is limited to 3 minutes. This board advises
the Board of County Commissioners (BCC). Hampton Bay is on
the agenda for the 18 th May meeting.
The board agenda with times
can be found if you go to
www.orangecountyfl.net,
pull up Planning division, look under meetings and then
click on planning and Zoning Commission. The board is
terrible about sticking to the agenda times.
It is important to get our message to these
Commissioners well before the meeting. Their names and E
mails are under the E Mail tab. Please write now, often and
to all the members.
Development Review Committee
A board of representatives from county and
state government agencies who actually implement BCC
decisions. They can, and do, put critical requirements and
limitations on BCC decisions. The meetings are twice monthly
at 4200 John Young Parkway. The meetings are open to the
public but the public is not entitled to speak, although
with a quiet request the Chairman (David Heath) usually
allows you to speak. The DRC web site is at:
www.orangecountyfl.net/cms/GOVERN/meetingsPN/DRC/default.htm
However, they are not good about getting the
agenda out in advance and are also terrible about sticking
to the times on the agenda. As far as we know Hampton Bay
has not yet been put on the agenda.
Board of County Commissioners.( BCC)
These are the real and key
decision makers. Hampton Bay will be put on their agenda a
month to six weeks after the P &Z meeting. The same rules
apply, the public may attend, the public may speak with the
three minute limitation. Meetings are held on Tuesdays in
the Commission chambers on Rosalind Ave. Performance to the
agenda times is hit or miss, mostly miss. The agenda can be
found under
www.orangecountyfl.net
Please write now and often to the
commissioners. Their E mail addresses are under the E mail
tab. Write to all the Commissioners and the Mayor.
This is the most important thing we can do to keep our rural
environment
