§ 23-254.2. Intent and purpose.

(a)

It is the intent of this division to allow the appropriate Hernando County staff, pursuant to established guidelines, procedures and criteria, to grant waivers and exceptions from certain county land development regulations and/or Code of Ordinances, or seek such waivers or variances before the board of county commissioners.

(b)

The granting of such waivers, exceptions or variances is intended to provide property owners who have been subjected to the eminent domain process either through acquisition or negotiation a viable and fair alternative in preventing any adverse impact to their property as a result of the acquisition process and allow the continued use of their property in a manner similar to its preacquisition condition. By providing a method for the acquiring authority and/or property owner to determine the remaining allowable uses of the property, the cost of acquisitions of real property needed for public facility improvements would be reduced.
