summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
The Zoning Code describes Visitor Accommodation Uses as those use types providing lodging units or rooms for short-term stays of less than 30 days. Staff has prepared text amendments to various sections of the Zoning Code to rename Apartment Hotel to Condo Hotel and to revise the standards for Condo Hotel to ensure this use is consistent with the description of Visitor Accommodation Uses. The proposed standards for Condo Hotel are based on an analysis of zoning regulations utilized by other cities within Florida, as well as California and Nevada. Similar text amendments, which did not include renaming Apartment Hotel, were placed on the October 10, 2016 City Commission Hearing. At that hearing Staff was directed to report the issues related to renaming the use from “Apartment Hotel” to “Condo Hotel”. After an analysis of the change, the text amendments were subsequently modified. The proposed text amendments were unanimously recommended at both the August 24, 2016 and December 21, 2016 Planning and Zoning Board Hearings. (NOTE: Staff's Report to the Planning and Zoning Board for their December 21, 2016 meeting includes the Minutes from the October 10, 2016 City Commission Hearing as well as the Administrative Memo #16-487 which analyzed the name change to Condo Hotel).
