Leon County, FL to hold Public Hearing of Ordinance regarding the Stormwater Standard for the Lake Jackson Basin The County Commission will consider an ordinance to amend the Stormwater Standard for the Lake Jackson Basin. In response to the Lake Protection initiative in the Comprehensive Plan, the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) were amended in the Environmental Management Act (EMA) to adopt Special Development Zones (SDZs) around Lake Jackson and to adopt a new stormwater standard for non-single family residential uses. Subsequently, the Lake Jackson 50-year stormwater retention standard was adopted on January 28, 1992. At their regular meeting on January 29, 2013, the Leon County Board of County Commissioners ratified actions taken at the December 10, 2012 Annual Retreat. These actions included establishing a new Strategic Initiative within the Board's Strategic Plan to "develop solutions to promote sustainable growth inside the Lake Protection Zone." This proposed Ordinance is essential to the revised FY2012-2016 Strategic Initiatives that the Board approved at their January 27, 2015 meeting.
