summary
Summary Explanation/Background:
In 2016, the City of Pompano Beach initiated a change in the future land use designation of the East Atlantic Boulevard Corridor to create the East Transit Oriented Corridor (ETOC) which connects the City from the Intracoastal to the Downtown Pompano Transit Oriented Corridor (DPTOC) at Atlantic Boulevard and I-95. The Zoning Code text amendments to implement the ETOC land use designation were presented at the October 9, 2017 P&Z and City Commission workshops. The intent of the Zoning Code amendments is to allow a mixture of residential and commercial uses, particularly within the blocks fronting on Federal Highway and Atlantic Boulevard, and provide a comprehensive approach to redevelopment while creating compatible transitions to the adjacent residential development. The proposed text amendments are to the current Transit Oriented (TO) Special Base Zoning District and the new East Overlay District (EOD), which is being created. There is a companion ordinance to the agenda item to rezone 279 acres to the Transit Oriented (TO) zoning district subject to the East Overlay District (EOD) regulations. The text amendments are being heard first on the agenda so the zoning district is in place prior to rezoning property. The Planning and Zoning Board unanimously recommended approval of the rezoning, which will be heard by the Commission after the text amendments. The Zoning Code text amendments establish standards for new development and redevelopment that address building placement and design, streetscape enhancements, traffic and neighborhood compatibility. The Planning and Zoning Board voted 4-2 on December 20, 2017 to recommend approval of the proposed code amendments but requested Staff return to the P&Z to present additional justification for the exemption from the alcoholic beverage establishments distance requirements from churches, schools and child care facilities. Staff returned to P&Z with this information on January 24, 2018 and received a 5-1 vote to retain the exemption as originally proposed.
At first reading on February 13, 2018, “Beer or Wine Store, Specialty” was added as a permitted retail use on the EOD use table. Exhibit “A” to the Ordinance has been updated to reflect that additional use.
