He stated that the Planning and Zoning Commission meetings are Quasi Judicial Hearings. Florida Courts have made a distinction and divided hearings between Legislatives. Quasi Judicial Hearings are not count formal. Included are rezonings, conditional uses, variances, and vacating roads or easements. Quasi Judicial Hearings are where you apply special laws to specific individuals for a specific set of facts. Laws are not being changed, but rather apply the law to an individual, to dive that individual and those effected more "due process" . The Commission must dive an individual more nights to be heard. The Commission must do the following. Provide a notice of hearing, give an opportunity to be heard, allow the applicant a right to present evidence, and allow the applicant a right to cross examine witnesses. Applicant has the right to ask questions of staff, and also question the person that is protesting. Even though it is not specified, the public has the right to question the applicant. The Board has to tell the applicant the facts that the conclusion of law is based on. The Commission must make specific findings. Write down motes that influence. Cite reasons for motions. If you do not comply with stating the facts, the applicant can sue because his rights have been denied. WOR, E 1 N PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING of MARCH 19, 1 PAGE 2 Mr. Reishmann pointed out that people coning up to one of the Commission Members and talking about a matter before the matter is heard by the Conunission, in Quasi Judicial Hearings, is illegal. If a letter is seat to a Commissioner this is dif ferent, a copy should be made and put into the public record. Staff is different. Applicants can approach staff because staff has no vote on the Commission. The Commission should not talk to applicants, Florida Law has inhibited the Commission. If an applicant feels that there has been are a -parte communication, they have a right to file in the court and can prove that there has been a -ante communication, the City would then have to prove that it is not prejudicial. All the applicant would win would be a chance to Borne back before the Commission and present the case again. There is no individual liability. You have a duty as a commission for the City of Sanford. Site plans are also Quasi Judicial because of general lags being applied to a specific hearing. Mr. Dyal asked if staff could review the site plans and brief the Commission on the findings. Mr. Speer asked what authority does the Commission have when it looks at the site plan and it wants to have a 3 gallon plant, when the man could get by with a 1 gallon plant. Mr. Reischmann stated that the authority is outlined in the Code, the proposed site plan has to be consistent with the comp Plan and that the proposed plan meets or exceeds all specifics of the comp Flan. The Commission must use collective hest judgement and make recommendations based upon objections of the Sanford Code.
