| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
| | The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the subject Ordinance. |
| | | |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND/HISTORY
| On April 6, 2022, the City Commission referred the subject discussion item (C4T) to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC). The sponsor of the item was Commissioner Mark Samuelian. On May 13, 2022 the LUSC discussed and endorsed the proposal and recommended that the City Commission refer the attached draft Ordinance to the Planning Board.
On May 25, 2022 the City Commission referred the subject Ordinance to the Planning Board (C4A). |

| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| PLANNING ANALYSIS
The proposed Ordinance amends Section 142-312 of the Land Development Regulations of the City Code, to allow for a limited area of the Sunset Harbor overlay to have buildings up to 75 feet in height. Specifically, for certain lots fronting the west side of Alton Road, north of Dade Boulevard, the maximum building height would be increased from the current 65 feet to 75 feet. The height increase benchmarks within the overlay, including the requirement for office use, remain the same.
Additionally, within the area proposed for the height increase, the minimum requirements for a clear pedestrian path would not be able to be adjusted by the DRB. Also, a height exception for decorative elements, not to exceed 16 feet above the main roofline, would be permitted.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
The Planning Board held a public hearing on June 21, 2022 and transmitted the Ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation (7-0). The Planning Board also recommended that the large expanses of blank walls proposed be addressed either through the DRB process or additional refinements to the Ordinance.
UPDATE
The City Commission was scheduled to consider the subject Ordinance at First Reading on July 8, 2022. The Administration will provide any applicable updates regarding action taken at First Reading.
