summary

Summary Explanation/Background:

The proposed private-sector initiated code amendment is to create a new use for “Hospital-Based Off Campus Emergency Department”. A hospital-based off-campus emergency department, is defined and governed by Florida Statutes, Chapter 395.  It is likely that this type of use would be more intense that the closest use already in our Specialty Medical zoning district, Urgent Care Facility.  To adopt the suggested use specific standards for the new use, therefore, the use specific standards for Urgent Care and the other Specialty Medical uses had to be revisited for consistency.  On May 28, 2025, the Planning and Zoning Board recommended denial of this zoning code amendment with a 6-1 vote, primarily because they felt any medical use that can be open 24-hours should be separated from residential zoning districts (RS and RD) by 500 feet.
