| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| HISTORY / BACKGROUND
On March 7, 2018, at the request of Commissioner Michael Gongora, the City Commission referred a discussion item to the Land Use and Development Committee pertaining to Open Space requirements in the Performance Standards District (Item C4H). On March 14, 2018, the Land Use Committee discussed the proposal and recommended that the City Commission refer the attached draft Ordinance to the Planning Board.
On April 11, 2018, at the request of Commissioner Michael Gongora, the City Commission referred the attached Ordinance to the Planning Board (Item C4 Z).
PLANNING ANALYSIS
The attached Ordinance would amend Sec. 142-704 of the Land Development Regulations, regarding minimum open space ratio requirements in the Performance Standard Districts. Currently, within all RPS and CPS zoning districts, required open space may be provided within roof top and terrace areas, provided such areas are accessible by all residents. Essentially, this precludes private terraces and roof decks from being able to be counted in required open space calculations.
The proposed amendment would permit lots in the RPS districts that are 60 feet in width or less to have private spaces accessible only by residents of individual units considered open space, despite not being generally accessible to all residents. The actual amount of required open space would not change.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
The Planning Board reviewed the subject Ordinance on May 22, 2018 and transmitted it to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation (Vote 7-0).
