Dania City Commission - 1 - February 12, 1976 Workshop Meeting i The Commission felt that 1 .5 parking spaces per dwelling unit was too low as per the Planning b Zoning Board's recommendation of January 12, 1976, and that it should remain at 2 spaces per dwelling unit. Jean Cook reported that the Planning 6 Zoning Board felt that on Page 55 of the new zoning ordinance, Section (d) (1) should be deleted. Mayor Duncanson felt that possibly another stipulation could be added to monitor such signs instead of deleting this section altogether. Jean Cook reported that an Page 61 , c. Distance Between Bulldln s and Driveways, that twenty-five (25) feet was recommended for change to ten 10 feet. Mr. Littrell informed the Commission that the reason the requirement was set at 25 feet was due to the fact that at a closer distance, cars pulling up into parking lots for multi-family dwellings would distrub other tenants/owners. Tom Littrell questioned the Planning s Zoning Board's reasoning in deleting Recreation Space on Page 62. Jean Cook stated that the Board felt the criteria was too high. Mayor Duncanson questioned the Planning & Zoning Board's reasoning in deleting ,Article 7, Planning Unit Development, from the zoning ordinance. Jean Cook and Luther Sparkman reported that the Board felt there were no areas in the City large enough to put into this classification. Mayor Duncanson stated that Broward County will probably require a PUD classification; it can be a very useful tool . The deletion of the public hearing requirements before the Planning b Zoning Board was discussed at length. It was decided by all commission members present that it should remain so if it was legally correct. Mayor Duncanson instructed City Manager, John Kooser, to contact the City Attorney and get his legal opinion on this matter before the next workshop meeting. Mayor Duncanson stated that the Planning & Zoning Board will still be consulted in an advisory manner even though a public hearing is not held before them. Mayor Duncanson stated that he basically liked the new zoning ordinance; that it is pretty close to the county zoning. Mayor Duncanson asked Mr. Littrell to give the Commission a brief review of the new zoning ordinance. Mr. Littrelt Informed the Commission that the new zoning ordinance was taken from other ordinances in the state of Florida and that it does establish better planning. The criteria established are my own ideas, however, they can be changed. As many nonconforming uses as possible should be eliminated when establishing specific criteria. Site plan approval will be by the Building Official , however, it must also go to the Police Department, Fire Department, City Manager, and engineering experts (if necessary). This ordinance provides the necessary criteria for architects to work with. Mayor Duncanson said he wanted two things: 1. That the sign ordinance section be deleted from the new zoning ordinance and established as a separate ordinance at a later date, and 2. Delay the land use assignment until the new zoning ordinance is passed. It was suggested that the areas that should be zoned for a lower density but have previously been assigned a zoning designation under Chapter 32, may apply a savings clause if permits for land use are filed within two years of the passing of this Chapter.
