OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
VIA: STEVEN ALEXANDER, CITY MANAGER
FROM: Dwayne Williams, Planning Director
DATE: . November 17, 2015
SUBIECT:
Agenda Item No.: 2
A Resolution approving the construction of more than two stories on the Madison Square
site for the Madison Square affordable housing project pursuant to Section 20-3.5(D)(1)
and other applicable provisions of the City's Land Development Code.
BACKGROUND:
The applicant, is requesting approval via the special use review process to increase the
height of the Madison Square Mixed Use Development Project from two (2) stories
permitted to a combination of heights that include two (2) and three (3) stories; but with
the design objectives that are sensitive to existing single family residential units in the
area.
The ordinance will allow various heights as mentioned above throughout the site area, but
as the development nears single family districts the development heights will step down to
(2) stories to 'match the heights of those residential areas.
ANALYSIS:
The present SR Specialty Retail zoning district allows the development to increase its
height up to 4-stories. However, because the proposed project area abuts single family
zoning districts, the SR zoning designation that is applied to this project must adhere to
the regulations listed in Section 20-3.5(D)(1) of the Land Development Code, stating in
part that,
if that property is abutting (common border or separated by a right-of-
way) to a single-family zoning district the maximum height of any new
building or any vertical addition to an existing building on that property is
limited to two stories/ howeve~ additional height may be obtained via the
special use permit process as set forth in Section 20-5.8.
Under the regulations of the special use process that are listed under Section 20-5.B of
the Land Development Code, approval may be granted after city commission public
hearing, the city commission will determine the overall compatibility of the additional
height with the surrounding neighborhood.
A special use must comply with the conditions set forth in Section 20-5.8(8) in that the
use:
1. Will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in J
the vicinity of the proposed use;
2. Will not be detrimental to the public welfare or property or improvements in the
neighborhood; and,
3. Complies with all other applicable Code provisions.
Staff Observation ..
• The ~oposed project will not adversely affect the health or safety of. persons
residing or working in the vicinity of the proposed use;
• The proposed site location is compatible to the surrounded land uses including
commercial, duplex, multifamily, single family and religious structures and will
not be detrimental to the public welfare or property or improvements in the
neighborhood; and,
• The approval of the special use will utilize a step down in building heights to a 2-
story which is in harmony with the adjacent single family residential uses and
complies with the objective of the Land Development Code.
• The location of the development along SW 64th Street; which is a collector
street and has a median with tress provides a natural eye level view buffer for
the additional floor being requested.
• Special Use approval should be extended to 2 years from approval to allow developer
ample time for financing and construction plans. 1
PLANNING BOARD ACTION:
At the November 10, 2015 Planning Board meeting and following a public hearing, the
Board voted 4-1 to recommend approval of the ordinance with the condition that there be
a 25 foot setback from single family zoning district and a special use shall expire 2 years
after its approval.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends Commission approval of the special use and permit staggering heights
within the proposed development of four stories along SW 64th Street. As the building is
built out to the rear of the property the heights should decrease to three stories and reach
2 stories as the property nears single family district.
