COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM | | | |
| | | | | | | | TO: Land Use and Sustainability Committee
|
| FROM: Rickelle Williams, Interim City Manager
|
| DATE: June 10, 2024
|
| |
| | | | | | | | | TITLE: | DISCUSSION OF POTENTIAL AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE CITY CODE (LDRS) AND THE CITY COMPREHENSIVE PLAN REGARDING ALLOWABLE USES AND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS WITHIN THE 40TH STREET RESIDENTIAL SINGLE-FAMILY OVERLAY ONLY APPLICABLE TO RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS. |
| |
| | | | | | | | HISTORY:
| On May 15, 2024, at the request of Mayor Steven Meiner, the Mayor and City Commission referred the item (C4 AS) to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC).
The 40th Street overlay, which was established in 2010, applies to religious institutions in the Residential Single Family (RS) district that is located on the south side of 40th Street between Chase Avenue to the west and Pine Tree Drive to the east. The overlay allows pedestrian-friendly religious institutional uses, through the conditional use permit process, at eligible properties. The intent of the overlay has been to serve the surrounding residential uses and any future expansion of the district is only permitted by amending the overlay regulations.
As noted in the attached referral memo, the owner of single-family properties within the overlay boundaries, which are currently used as a religious institution, has proposed an expansion of the overlay regulations to accommodate increasing demand, as well as add additional types of related uses, only applicable to religious institutions within the overlay boundaries. The property owner has requested the opportunity to present his proposal to the LUSC and obtain recommendations for the Mayor and City Commission to consider. |
|
| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS:
| Based upon previous discussions with the property owner, the proposal would involve amendments to the Land Development Regulations of the City Code (LDRs) and Comprehensive Plan, including the following:
• The introduction of dormitory and standalone school as main uses;
• A reduction in minimum setbacks and lot coverage;
• An expansion of allowable height exceptions and usable roof area;
• An increase in allowable unit size;
• Modification of minimum parking requirements.
Any amendment to the LDRs and the Comprehensive Plan would need to be referred to the Planning Board by the City Commission. Alternatively, a private application for such amendments could be filed by the property owner.
|
|
| | | | | | | | CONCLUSION:
| | The Administration recommends that the Land Use and Sustainability Committee discuss the item and provide a recommendation to the Planning Board. |
