5. PUBLIC CHARGE
The Board of Adjustment pledges to the citizens of Orange
County its respect. The Board asks its citizens to conduct
themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, both with the
Board and with fellow citizens. At any time should any
member of the Board or any citizen fail to observe this
public charge, the Chair will ask the offending person to
leave the meeting until that individual regains personal
control. Should decorum fail to be restored, the Chair will
recess the meeting until such time that a genuine commitment
to this public charge is observed. All electronic devices
such as cell phones, pagers, and computers should please be
turned off or set to silent/vibrate.
The Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial administrative
body established in accordance with the provisions of local
regulations and State law to perform specified functions
essential to the County’s planning program. Action(s) taken
by the board are based solely on competent, substantial, and
material evidence presented during a previously scheduled
and advertised public hearing on a specific item. As
detailed within Section 2.12.2 of the UDO the Board chair
reserves the right to exclude evidence and testimony that is
deemed: ‘incompetent, irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly
repetitious’ and therefore fails to reasonably address the
issues before the Board of Adjustment. While it should be
noted there is no time limit on the presentation of
evidence, the Chair asks that the presentation of evidence
be consistent with established policies, rules of procedure,
and acceptable levels of decorum to ensure a fair and
equitable hearing for all parties.
