BACKGROUND:
Background
The City has an adopted, citywide Land Development Code (LDC). The City Land Development Code regulations change over time based on current trends, state preemptions, public input, and regulatory reviews, amongst other things. The City Commission adopted the latest revision to the Zoning Sections on August 20, 2018.
On May 7, 2024, the City Commission requested staff to update the Zoning Sections in the LDC, as some of the Sections were outdated. The City Commission explained that the current C-,1 Retail Commercial Zoning, is too restrictive and would like there to be more allowable uses.
Attached is the proposed Ordinance No. 13-2024, which includes changes to Sections 110-300 to 110-320 of the Land Development Code.
Highlights of proposed Ordinance No. 13-2024 are as follows:
1. Updating language regarding Community Residential Homes to reflect current Florida Statutes.
2. Granting agricultural type uses on RE-5, Residential Estate Five, and RE-1, Residential Estate One, zonings, if the parcel is more than three (3) acres in size.
3. Allowing more commercial uses within the C-1, Retail Commercial Zoning District.
4. Allowing more commercial uses within the C-2, General Commercial Zoning District.
5. Providing more uniform uses for the Commercial Zoning Districts
6. Adding additional regulations for multiple-family dwelling
7. Clarifying the design for vertical and horizontal mixing of residential uses with nonresidential uses.
8. Providing the minimum commercial building area required based on overall project size.
