STAFF REPORT
DATE: June 28, 2005
TO: Ivan Pato, City Manager
FROM: Laurence Leeds, AICP, Director
SUBJECT: Zoning Code Text Amendment: Establishment of a
Residential -Office (RO) Zoning District (2nd Public
Hearing)
APPLICANT: City Commission
The City Commission requested staff prepare a low -intensity Residential -
Office ("RO") district. This zoning is intended to encourage small offices
on major roadways in areas originally developed for single family homes.
Similar zoning exists in Hollywood (Sheridan Street) and Fort Lauderdale
(Davie Road).
The RO district would allow general office only up to two stories in
height. No medical office, restaurant, or retail uses would be permitted.
If adopted, RO zoning would be- the most restrictive non-residential
zoning district in the City. A developer would have to request site -
specific rezoning of RO to his/her property to develop the property
accordingly.
Setbacks and open space requirements have been reduced in accordance
with the very small size (6,000+ square feet) of these properties.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD
On May 18, 2005 the Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval
of the Residential Office text amendment.
CITY COMMISSION PREVIOUS ACTION
On June 14, 2005 the City Commission approved this text amendment
subject to the requirement of a six foot wall adjacent to the rear lot line;
wall to be set in 2 1/2 feet from any adjacent alley.
