BACKGROUND
At the Commission meeting of October 25, 1990,
Aoenda IteTi"PZ-15. Bristol Towers MaJor Use
t
the planned development provisions for a single
structure. These criticisms could be met by
eliminating them from the Planned Development
legislation rather than eliminating Planned
Development entirely.
Planned Development and similar legislation in
prior Zoning Ordinance 6871 was used for
L'Hermitage, Lemon Tree Village, Abitari and
Camp Biscayne, as a method of planning and
developing a subdivision of homes with such
contemporary methods as attached housing, pie -
shaped lots, curvilinear roads and cul-de-sacs;
this increased attention to innovative and.
attractive design was assisted by a slight (5%) .
density bonus; the process was .either a zoning
change (R-PD) or at special exception. For eight
years, no one took advantage of Planned
Development zoning in Zoning' Ordinance 9500 it
simply became .too chancy` for the developer to
spend the time necessary for approval and not be
guaranteed a result.
It is recommended that the Planning, Building
and Zoning Department be instructed to present
revised Planned Development legislation.
Increased Develooment Bonus in Section 914'This
is 254 development bonus for additional dwelling
units, floor area ratio (FAR) and parking, above
the underlying zoning district, in return for a
contribution to the City of Mimi Affordable
Nbusing Trust Fund, at the rate of '$6.67 per
square foot of space or units requested and
$3.92 per square foot of additional parking
space requested.
Similar provisions occur in SD-5, 6 and 7--the
Brickeil and Omni Districts.
It is recommended that the Planning, Building
and Zoning �ppartsssnt be instructed to present -
revised legislation that more clearly combines aR
the Affordable Housing bonus with appropriate
zoning districts_, i
- This amendment r
would provide that no new applications would be E
accepted for this District, thereby �
r "grandfathering" ekistin9 districts.and
r
precluding the addition of new districts,
