City Charter requires city council to establish a zoning commission and appoint a board of adjustment. A charter amendment would enable city council to delegate the duties of the board of adjustment to be performed by the zoning commission. Shall Section 8.04 of the City Charter be amended such that the duties and functions of the Board of Adjustment may be delegated by city council to the City zoning commission (Planning and Zoning Board)?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Melbourne voters are asked whether Section 8.04 of the City Charter should be amended. The current charter requires the city council to establish a zoning commission and appoint a board of adjustment. The amendment would let the city council delegate the duties of the board of adjustment to the zoning commission, also called the Planning and Zoning Board. A YES vote allows the council to make that delegation. A NO vote means the council does not gain this power to delegate.
