Amendment to Articles 9 and 25 of the Zoning
Ordinance.
N/A.
Consideration of amending Ordinance No. 11000, as
amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami,
Florida, by amending Articles 9 and 25, more specifically
Section 915.2. Aviation Hazards and Section 2502
Specific Definitions, in order to modify the provisions for
Special Permits for Aviation Hazards and the Definition
of "lodging unit"; containing a repealer provision and a
severability clause; and providing for an effective date.
Approval.
The proposed amendment is in order to correct certain
errors in the zoning ordinance. First is the requirement
that FAA clearance be obtained pursuant to a Special
Exception; this is being eliminated in that the Zoning
Board has no jurisdiction in these matters; the FAA
clearance letter is a requirement that should be enacted
administratively during the permitting process. The
second error is in the definition of "lodging unit"; the
zoning ordinance currently says that such units must be
less than 200 sq. ft., when it should read "greater" than
200 sq. ft.; this is clearly a scrivener's error and is being
corrected herein.
Recommended approval to VOTE: 9-0
City Commission.
