COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM | | | |
| | | | | | | | TO: Land Use and Sustainability Committee
|
| FROM: Rickelle Williams, Interim City Manager
|
| DATE: June 10, 2024
|
| |
| | | | | | | | | TITLE: | DISCUSS/CONSIDER THE POTENTIAL REZONING OF THE MXE (MIXED USE ENTERTAINMENT) DISTRICT IN NORTH BEACH, ALONG OCEAN TERRACE BETWEEN 73RD AND 75TH STREETS, TO A DIFFERENT ZONING DISTRICT CLASSIFICATION |
| |
| | | | | | | | HISTORY:
| On May 15, 2024, at the request of Commissioner Tanya K. Bhatt, the Mayor and City Commission referred the item (C4 AD) to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (LUSC) and the Planning Board.
The City’s zoning map includes two (2) mixed-use entertainment (MXE) zoning districts – one in South Beach, along Collins Avenue and Ocean Drive; and the other in North Beach, along Ocean Terrace. The MXE designation was created, in part, to incentivize redevelopment, especially for hotel and entertainment uses.
As noted in the attached referral memo, the item sponsor is requesting that the LUSC discuss whether to rezone the MXE district in North Beach to a different zoning district category. The properties to the west of the district are currently zoned CD-2 (commercial, medium intensity district) and to ensure the consistency and compatibility of future development, the item sponsor is proposing to re-zone this district from MXE to CD-2. This change will not result in more intense development than is currently permitted in the subject area. |
|
| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS:
| The redevelopment projects underway along Ocean Terrace would not be impacted by a re-zoning from MXE to CD-2. In addition to re-zoning Ocean Terrace, a corresponding change to the future land use designation from the current classification of mixed-use entertainment to CD-2 is also recommended.
If there is consensus on the proposal, draft Ordinances can be prepared and transmitted to the Planning Board.
|
|
| | | | | | | | CONCLUSION:
| | The Administration recommends that the Land Use and Sustainability Committee discuss the item and provide a recommendation to the Planning Board. |
