summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
The Policy 1.07.20 in the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 2010 to establish the maximum intensity of development within the respective nonresidential land use categories. It has recently come to staff’s attention that the Local Activity Center (LAC) maximum height of 105 feet is inconsistent with existing conditions in the only LAC in the City which is John Knox Village. We also know that the Regional Activity Center currently being proposed for the existing Pompano Park South RAC property includes buildings higher than 105’ (which is 10 stories or less based on floor-ceiling heights). The 105’ height for the Transportation land use category, which is primarily the Air Park, is misleading because the heights at the airpark vary greatly based on location relative to the various protected surfaces associated with air navigation. To address these issues, the height limit is being removed from these districts in Policy 01.07.20 and maximum heights will be determined by the respective zoning regulations. The height limit in the Recreation and Open Space land use category is also proposed for elimination to be consistent with the approach in the other public use districts. The Planning and Zoning Board (P&Z) considered this text amendment at their meeting of June 26, 2019 and unanimously recommended approval.
City Commission approved this text change on first reading on July 23, 2019 and the Department of Economic Opportunity issued a Letter of No Objection on September 25, 2019. This hearing will be to approve this text amendment on second reading.
