COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager 
DATE:February  8, 2017
 



SUBJECT:REFERRAL TO THE LAND USE AND DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE - ORDINANCE AMENDMENT PERTAINING TO INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SPEAKER LOCATIONS ON LINCOLN ROAD.

RECOMMENDATION

Refer the proposed Ordinance Amendment to the Land Use and Development Committee for consideration and recommendation.

ANALYSIS

HISTORY
On January 18, 2017, at the request of Commissioner Joy Malakoff, the Land Use and Development Committee recommended that the City Commission formally refer an ordinance specific to indoor and outdoor speakers on Lincoln Road to the Land Use Committee.

PLANNING ANALYSIS
The attached draft ordinance would prohibit interior and exterior speakers within 20 feet of the property's boundary on Lincoln Road, unless music is being played at ambient levels. A no variance provision has also been included in the attached draft of the ordinance.

As it pertains to exterior speakers playing music above ambient levels, CUP approval is already required for any exterior speakers playing music above ambient levels on Lincoln Road, regardless of location, as that would be considered outdoor or open-air entertainment. The proposal herein does not modify this requirement.

CONCLUSION

The Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission refer the attached draft ordinance to the Land Use and Development Committee.
