COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM | | | |
| | | | | | | | TO: Land Use and Sustainability Committee
|
| FROM: Alina T. Hudak, City Manager
|
| DATE: September 27, 2023
|
| |
| | | | | | | | | TITLE: | DISCUSS EXPANDING THE GEOGRAPHY OF THE FORMULA RETAIL RESTRICTIONS IN SUNSET HARBOUR |
| |
| | | | | | | | HISTORY:
| On September 13, 2023, at the request of Commissioner Ricky Arriola, the City Commission referred the subject discussion item (C4 G) to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC).
As noted in the attached referral memo, the item sponsor has requested that the LUSC discuss expanding the geography of the formula retail restrictions in Sunset Harbour to Alton Road and Dade Boulevard to protect the character of the neighborhood. |
|
| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS:
| Attached is Section 7.3.9 of the Land Development Regulations of the City Code (LDRs), which contains the applicable requirements for the Sunset Harbour Mixed-Use Neighborhood Overlay District. The overlay district consists of the properties in the Sunset Harbour Area, which is generally bounded by Purdy Avenue to the west, 20th Street and the waterway to the north, Alton Road to the east, and Dade Boulevard to the south. The purpose of this overlay district is to limit the proliferation of uses which may diminish the character of a unique mixed-use residential neighborhood within the city.
The overlay district contains the following sub-areas:
1. Perimeter commercial corridors. The perimeter commercial corridors include the properties fronting Dade Boulevard between Bay Road on the west and Alton Road on the east, as well as the properties fronting Alton Road between Dade Boulevard on the south and 20th Street on the north.
2. Neighborhood center. The neighborhood center includes all properties that are not within the perimeter commercial corridors, as described above.
Currently, formula commercial establishments and formula restaurants are prohibited in the neighborhood center area of the overlay district. However, such establishments are not prohibited within the perimeter commercial corridors. Modifying or expanding the current boundaries of the overlay to prohibit formula establishments within the perimeter commercial corridor would require an amendment to Section 7.3.9 of the LDRs. This would entail a separate referral by the City Commission to the Planning Board, and additional legal analysis would be required.
|
|
| | | | | | | | CONCLUSION:
| | The Administration recommends that the Land Use and Sustainability Committee discuss the item and provide a recommendation to the City Commission. |
