Roberts: People in Okaloosa and Walton counties.
Kelly Windes: Will this be a magnet for a homeless?
Roberts: “if they have to show proof of residency” no. Plus they have to show they’re employed or recently unemployed. So it shouldn’t be a draw.
Windes: “Regulations have to be enforced and we’re having a little trouble in that department.”
Bagby: What does staff say?
Roberts: We’d have to wait six-eight months if we apply for a zoning exemption. And we might not get it. And it requires more upfront money than we have to spare. And we’re ready to start now.
Jerry Miller to Roberts: Council can’t do anything for you tonight. They can start the code-amendment process, but there will be public participation and no guarantee it will come out in your favor.
Kisela: It would take three to six months to make the change (the difference is whether the LPA has to cancel meetings for lack of a quorum, since the LPA has to review these changes).
Miller: The Board of Adjustment can’t help because it’s decided the city staff interpreted the zoning rule correctly.
