5. PUBLIC HEARING
A. LDCA 02 -12 Longwood Development Code Amendment.
Ordinance 12 -1998
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF LONGWOOD,
FLORIDA, AMENDING THE LONGWOOD
DEVELOPMENT CODE ARTICLE I GENERAL
PROVISIONS, ARTICLE II LAND USE AND
OVERLAY DISTRICTS, ARTICLE V
SUPPLEMENTAL STANDARDS, )ESTABLISHING
REQUIREMENTS FOR PAIN MANAGEMENT
CLINICS, AND PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS,
CODIFICATION, SEVERABILITY AND
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Sheryl Bower stated that about a year ago the City of Longwood put a moratorium on
pain clinics because they wanted to develop some regulations as to where they could be
located. We have developed that code language for the board to review. Basically the
code identifies areas where the City would accept pain management clinics which would
be in the Industrial district and under certain conditions. The Code prohibits what is
commonly known as Pill Mills. This is something the police have asked us to do.
Vine -Chair Putz requested staff to hit the highlights and stated there was a pain clinic
around Milwee and 434 that had closed and then re- opened. How did that re -open.
Sheryl Bower stated it re- opened during the moratorium and that perhaps they had a
Business Tax Receipt that had not yet expired. Therefore the Business Tax Receipt didn't
trigger any kind of review or the building hadn't been vacated long enough to be
considered abandoned.
Vice -Chair Putz asked if existing pain clinics can stay even if they are dispensing pills.
Sheryl Bower stated i.f they meet the definition of "Pill Mill" then they would be
considered illegal.
Vice -Chair Putz connnented this one, then, must have been legal.
Chair Noyes stated so what you are establishing is if -an existing business is operating
under a legal pain management clinic then that's one thing, but if it :falls under the
definition of pill mill, then that's a totally different thing.
Sheryl Bower answered yes, if they are existing, or grandfathered in, on the effective date
of this regulation. New ones would be subject to these new regulations.
