4. 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.
