AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE EVAULATION AND APPRAISAL REPORT (EAR) BASED TEXT
AMENDMENTS TO THE SOUTH MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; THE AMENDMENTS ARE TO
THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND POLICIES FOR THE FOLLOWING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

SUMMARY
The City Commission at its February 3, 2009 meeting referred to the Planning Board for public hearing an
ordinance which would adopt the Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report Based -Text Amendments
document. The draft ordinance and the attached Exhibit "A ", removes from the listed amendments any reference to
a new land use category for the Madison Square project. No other section of the amendments were considered by
the Planning Board.
BACKGROUND
The final adoption of Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report Based -Text Amendments has been
pending since August 23, 2007 when the document was approved and sent to DCA. The document adopted in 2007
was approved by Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) in January 2008.
The approval by DCA contained a directive (ORC Report) that the City must make only one technical amendment;
adopt the EAR Based -Text Amendments by ordinance; and then send it back to DCA within 120 days by May,
2008, as required by State Statute. This has not been completed despite continuing attempts during the period April
thru August 2008.
The specific reason for the delay relates to one of the proposed amendments which was adopted as part of the
original EAR Based Text Amendments in August 2007. That amendment created a new Future Land Use Category,
entitled "Neighborhood Center /Mixed Use District ". The new category was to eventually be placed on the City's
Future Land Use Map over the CRA project area called Madison Square, a mixed use project with affordable
housing units. The new category provided for densities (60 units /acre, 2.0 FAR, 4 story max.) higher than all
current Land Use Categories. This higher density was recommended by the CRA staff, the Planning Department
and the City's EAR consultants in order to allow maximum development of affordable housing units.
During the period April- August, 2008 the Planning Board and City Commission conducted several hearings and
workshops. This Madison Square issue was subject to debate as to whether or not the Future Land Use Category for
Madison Square should remain-as submitted or should be reduced in density /height, or removed totally.
2
The final vote on second reading occurred at the City Commission meeting on May 20, 2008 at which time a vote
was taken on the entire EAR Based -Text Amendments with the new Land Use Category for Madison Square (with
• minor word adjustments). The vote was 3 -2 in support of the document, however, a 4/5 vote was required by local
Code. The minutes (excerpt) of that Commission meeting are attached.
INFORMATION FROM FLORIDA DCA
In the interim period the City did obtain information from DCA concerning the delay in approving the EAR Based -
Text Amendments. At a special City Commission workshop held on August 27, 2008 a representative from Florida
DCA (R. Dennis) responded to a number of questions concerning the City's status and the possibility of sanctions
being taken against the City. Mr. Dennis also explained that a local government can only revise those sections of
the EAR Amendments which are directed by DCA. These questions were also responded to in an e-mail sent to the
City Manager (8 -27 -08 attached) from R. Eubanks, a DCA administrator.
NEW PROPOSAL FROM CITY COMMISSION (Exhibit "A ")
The proposal introduced by Commissioner Beckman and referred to the Planning Board makes only one change to
the EAR Based -Text Amendments. It is proposed that the entire reference to a new Future Land Use Category
"Neighborhood Center /Mixed Use District" which was adopted in August 2007 be removed (See Exhibit "A"
attached).
It also proposed as seen on Exhibit "A" (see Note) that the implementation of the Madison Square project can be
done under the existing land use category, which is "Mixed Use Commercial / Residential" (allows 24 units /acre,
1.6 FAR, 4 story max.). The current zoning over the site "NR" Neighborhood Retail which does not permit
residential and is extremely limited in density, would have to be removed and a new zoning district established.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION
• The Planning Board at its February 24, 2009 meeting conducted a public hearing on the proposed revised ordinance
and adopted by a vote of 6 ayes 0 nay a series of recommendations as follows:
That the draft ordinance removing the new Future Land Use Map category for Madison Square as
suggested by Commissioner Beckman be denied;
2. That the Future Land Use Map category for Madison Square adopted by the Planning Board and City
Commission in May, 2008 entitled "Alternative 3(A)' be approved again;
3. That the CRA or the City have outside experts prepare a pro -forma financial analysis for Madison Square
to determine building costs, number of units needed, potential rents, size of units and a design/ site plan.

NOTE: The above two paragraphs appear in the EAR Based Amendment Document on pp. 16-
17. The proposed removal of this .new category still allows for implementation of a Madison
Square Project using the existing Future Land Use Category "Mixed Use
Commercial /Residential ". That category allows maximum development of 4 stories, 24 units an
acre, and a floor area ratio of 1.6. The development limits of a Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use category are considered maximum; the underlying zoning district can be adjusted to allow
development at a smaller scale then the maximum limits set by the Future Land Use category
The current underlying zoning district "NR" Neighbor Retail, will need to be removed from this
area as it does not permit residential development and has a floor area ratio of 0.25, and a
maximum height of 2 stories. A new zoning district would have to be created which limits
development to whatever is considered most appropriate by the City.

Dear Mr. Ray Eubanks:
As a follow -up to our telephone conversation on May 29, 2008, concerning the City of South Miami's EAR
adoption, the information you provided to us was most helpful. As suggested, we are requesting your written
response to some of the issues discussed.
As you recall the City of South Miami's EAR Amendment (Amendment 08 -IER) has progressed to the extent of
having the ORC report submitted to the City on January 19, 2008. The second reading and final adoption of the
EAR Based Text Amendment document and ordinance was to be completed in 120 days, by May 18, 2008. To date
the City Commission has been unable to approve the ordinance which requires, by local Code, a 4/5 approval vote.
The primary focus of the disagreement by two elected officials has been a proposed new Future Land Use Map
Category which creates a neighborhood center mixed use district allowing for an affordable housing opportunity in a
CRA target community. As a result, we have the following questions:
1) Can the City obtain an extension of time in order to submit the EAR Based Text Amendment Document? The
Department does not have the statutory authority to grant an extension on the 120 day response time limit
after the ORC is issued.
2) Can the City, as part of the final adoption of the EAR Document, make changes or amendments to other
sections of the Comprehensive Plan which changes or amendments have not been considered during the entire EAR
review /public hearing process and are not in response to comments in the ORC? Section 163.3184, F.S, does not
contemplate changes other than what are originally proposed. The Statute states that the local government
should adopt, adopt with changes (in response to the ORC) or not adopt the amendment within 120 days
from receipt of the ORC.
3) If the City's additional changes are not part of the EAR amendments, would these changes and amendments be
part of a separate amendment package submitted during the regular Comprehensive Plan amendment cycle later in
• the year? Yes, that would be the case in the situation you have described. Any additional changes not part of
the EAR -based amendment package would be another amendment cycle.
4) If the City can not come to a consensus on adopting the EAR Document, can the City withdraw the current
EAR Document? Yes, that would be an option. Please note that the City would still be under a prohibition for
failing to adopt the EAR -based amendments within the 18 month time limit after the EAR was found
sufficient. That prohibition would be in effect until the EAR -based amendments were retransmitted
proposed and adopted.
5) If the answer to question number for is yes, will the City be required to go back to the beginning and start the
EAR amendment process over? Yes, Once the EAR -based amendments have been formally withdrawn the
amendment package would no longer exist and the local government would have to start the amendment
process from the beginning.
6) . Can the City process amendments to Comprehensive Plan without having the EAR Document approved and
submitted to DCA. No, the City is currently under a prohibition pursuant to Section 163.3191(10), F.S., and
may not conduct further amendments until the EAR -based amendments are adopted.
7) At what point would the City be subject to sanctions as set forth in FL. Statues Sections 163.3191 and 3184?
This would be a question our legal department would need to address. Please be aware that an affected party
could seek circuit court action at any point a local government fails to implement their comp. plan or the
provisions of Section 163, F.S.
Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call me at 305.668.2510.
Thanks,
W. Ajibola Balogun

(City Manager)
Moved by Commissioner Wiscombe, seconded by Commissioner
Palmer to approve this item.
Mr. Youkilis presented this item. The EAR is mandated by the
state to be done every seven years and it is a very long process
which includes various meetings of the Planning Board and of the
• City Commission before it is sent to DCA for 'review. After
reviewing the proposed amendments by the City, DCA returns the
document with its own recommendations. Failure to adopt
amendments recommended in the EAR -Based Text Amendment Report
within a certain period of time will result in sanctions against
the local government. It was recommended by both the Planning
Board and by staff that the revised document be approved. The
revisions consisted of: (1) Proposed revision related to the name
of the Capital Improvement Plan (p.52); and, (2) Proposed
revision to the Future Land Use Map Category for the Madison
Square area, (specifically Alternative III (A) Modified) being
re- inserted in the EAR (pp. 16 -17).
Consultants Joe Corradino and Jerry Bell were in attendance
for answering any concerns from the Commission. The consultants
explained that their recommendations were based on meetings with
members of the community in various occasions.
On a specific question posed by Vice Mayor Beasley regarding
the allowable height of the proposed Madison Square project, the
consultant said that regardless of the outcome of this item
tonight, whether passing or not, the allowable height would be
four stories.

Commercial /Residential (4- stories, 24- units /acre); that number of
units is not enough to do what is has been promised to the County
in order to keep the CRA going. If affordable housing is an
objective of the City, this is the only opportunity for the
Commission to do it.
Vice Mayor Beasley expressed concern with the impact of the
proposed amendment related to Madison Square on the rest of the
condominiums within that zoning district.
Regarding transferable development rights, the consultant
explained that this would not be possible as the present code
reads. For this to happen, the code would have to be amended.
After some further discussion, the public hearing was
opened.
Reverend Harris addressed the Commission in support of the
amendments relating to Madison Square; he spoke about how the
area churches have committed their sites in order to mitigate
parking for the project.
Levy Kelly also spoke in support of the amendment for
Madison Square.
. Reverend Gay said that he is tired of wasting his time
coming over and over just to repeat the same thing. He spoke in
support of the Madison Square project; he said that if this issue
is not resolved, that the community will have no choice but to
pursue legal action in order to make this project happen.
40
David Tucker Sr. urged the Commission to go back to the
drawing board in order for this project to succeed.
Dick Ward spoke in support of the Madison Square project,
urging the Commission to allow the Madison Square project become
a reality. He warned that this could result in another issue such
as the parking garage where the City lost a lot of money over the
ten years that such project took to come to fruition.
Sarah Tompkins urged the Commission to stop the discussion
and follow the wish of the community by approving this item
tonight.
With no further speakers the public hearing was closed.
N
Mayor Feliu said that the community has spoken over and over
and have expressed their wishes, and that they really want this
project to go on.
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION 5
MINUTES - May 20, 2008
• Moved by Vice Mayor Beasley to amend the EAR document by
removing the paragraphs on pages 16 -17 called "Neighborhood
Center /Mixed Use District (Four Story). Seconded by Commissioner
Beckman. Before calling the vote, the Mayor opened the
discussion.
The consultant reiterated that there is no provision in our
City's code relating to the transfer of any development rights.
Commissioner Wiscombe said that he has attended every
workshop on this issue and that he has no doubt as to what the
people on that part of the community wants. He said that he would
not support anything taken out of the document at all.
Commissioner Beckman said that this amendment will have a
huge impact on all other districts such as TODD. The consultant
again refuted this notion posed by Commissioner Beckman.
Commissioner Palmer also asked for clarification regarding
the transfer of development rights. Both the consultant and the
City Attorney reassured her that our code does not have any
provisions to that effect as our laws are written today. A Comp
Plan amendment would have to be done and would have to go through
the whole tedious procedure.
• Commissioner Beckman said that what should have been done
for this area to show compatibility is that there should have
been certain studies done as those that were made for the Red
Road Commons project. Red Road Commons had to adjust one side of
the project to three stories because of being adjacent to a
single- family neighborhood; there were also traffic studies done
for that project to make sure that the project would not create
traffic problems in the future; there were studies for potential
impact to the school system, as well as for area infrastructure.
Commissioner Beckman then said that nothing has been presented to
him showing comparability with regard to the proposed project of
Madison Square; he said that he has been proposing all along that
those studies must be done in order to determine what the proper
land use designation for Madison Square is. We will know what can
be built there that is comparable with the surrounding
neighbor - hoods, the road system, and everything else in that area.
He then proposed to pass this amendment removing this land use
designation from the document.
•
Mayor Feliu said that the bulk of Madison Square is owned by
the CRA and subject to public hearings depending on the project.
Obviously, he continued, there are no studies because there is no
designation for anything right now.
REGULAR CITY COMMISSION 6
MINUTES - May 20, 2008
The consultant said that this is not the proper time to do
the studies proposed by Commissioner Beckman; you are regulating
land use at this time, he continued, you don't have a project, a
developer, a site plan, number of units; therefore, all those
studies would be an absolute necessary part of the process once
an application comes in, whether is by the City or by a developer
to do a project. At that time, if somebody for instance wants to
develop four stories and 60 -units per acre, and if it is beyond

consultant said that he has never seen a case throughout his

amendments the document would not be approved, and recommended

the City could be sanctioned and that it has probably been unable
to process land use amendments since this past November's

adjacent blocks (bisected by public rights -of- way).
Permitted heights, densities, and intensities shall be set forth in the Land Development
Code subject to the following constraints: minimum lot size of 0.5 acres, maximum
building height of four stories, maximum F.A.R. of 2.0, maximum residential density
• of 60 units /acre.
Any residential component shall be no greater than 75% or less than 40% of the gross
floor area of the development. Non residential components shall be no greater than
60% or less than 25% of the gross floor area. Residential uses may be located on any
floor, office uses on the first and second floor, while retail and culturaU entertainment

AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE EVAULATION AND APPRAISAL
REPORT (EAR) BASED TEXT AMENDMENTS TO THE SOUTH MIAMI
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN; THE AMENDMENTS ARE TO THE GOALS, OBJECTIVES,
AND POLICIES FOR THE FOLLOWING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ELEMENTS:
FUTURE LAND USE;TRANSPORTATION; HOUSING; INFRASTRUCTURE;
CONSERVATION; RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE; INTERGOVERNMENTAL
COORDINATION; AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS;; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY, ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE

Action: Mr. Yates read the item into the record.
• Mr. Morton commented that PB number had been left out on the report. Mr. Youkilis
responded that the number is PB case 09 -004 and the applicant is the City of South Miami.
Mr. Youkilis read the request that came from the City Commission .It was a request for the
Board to act upon EAR Based Text amendments. The City Commission reviewed it once
Planning Board Meeting
February 24, 2009
Page 2 of 8
• and adopted it on August 23, 2007, but since then there has been a hold. The Department
of Community Affairs has accepted the first draft of the text amendments, and they
recommended two changes. One was to change the date of the capital improvement report,
the other one was a technical amendment on the date of the School Board amendments.
The specific reason that there has been a delay is due to the Neighborhood Center Mixed
Use District. A new category, the Neighborhood Center Mixed Use District, was created to
be placed on the Future Land Use Map and to be used for the CRA project called Madison
Square. The adoption in 2007 of the EAR Based Text amendments included a section
creating a new Land Use category with maximum standard of acres 60 units an acre with a
four story height limit and a 2.0 FAR.. Essentially this is the higher than any other land
use district. The higher density was recommended by the Corradino Group, CRA staff and
Planning Department. This would allow for maximum development for Madison Square,
which will be affordable housing units with some mixed commercial uses. During certain
workshops and hearings Madison .Square became the topic as to whether or not the Future
Land Use category should remain as submitted, reduced in density or height or removed
completely. The final vote on May 20, 2008 was 3 -2 for approval. However, when there is
a change in the wording in the comprehensive plan requires four votes and so therefore no
action was made. A DCA representative did attend a later meeting and provided the
Commissioners information regarding the completion of the project or if it was not
completed and advised that the local government could only revise certain sections of the
• EAR documents that were directed by DCA.
Mr. Youkilis then reviewed the new proposal from the City Commission which is asking
that the Planning Board recommend on one change; that the entire reference to the
Neighborhood Center Mixed Use District that was adopted be removed. He explained that
the removal of this new category would still allow for implementation of a Madison
Square Project using the current and existing Future Land Use Category "Mixed Use
Commercial/Residential ". That category allows maximum development of 4 stories, 24
units an acre, and a floor area ratio of 1.6. The Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use
category development limits are maximum; the underlying zoning district can be adjusted
to allow development at a smaller scale then the maximum limits set by the Future Land
Use category.
Mr. Youkilis further explained that the current underlying zoning district "NR"
Neighborhood Retail, will need to be changed as it does not permit residential
development and has a floor area ratio of .25, and a maximum height of 2 stories. A new
zoning district would have to be created which limits development to whatever is the
considered most appropriate by the City. Mr. Youkilis stated that this approach could allow
for consensus on the EAR Based -Text Amendments and still provide for a project at
Madison Square.
Mr. Youkilis advised that the staff report contained the original wording for the
Neighborhood Center Mixed Use District adopted by the City Commission in August,
2007 and sent to DCA. In addition the report also contained a copy of the Neighborhood
Center Mixed Use District (Alternative III A) as adopted by the Planning Board in April,
2008.

Mr. Morton questioned what the main issue on this project is. Mr. Youkilis replied the
density of the project.
Ms. Young questioned what has changed since 2007. Mr. Youkilis responded there have
been some changes in elected officials and also economic conditions.
Ms. Young commented that the economic change would only prove the need for affordable
housing which probably will not happen. She commented that the community needs to be
treated fairly; the changing of commissioners has nothing to do with the situation but does
believe this Board is being toyed with.
Mr. David provided the Board with the history of the Madison Square and how the density
came to be. Mr. David commented that for the last two fiscal years there has been money
in the budget and he is directed by the Board on how to spend the money, but there is
money to fund this project.
Ms. Chael commented that it is money well spent and to build the building that has been
wanted.
Mr. Youkilis commented that affordable housing house has a rent cap on it and advised the
• number of units depend upon the economy of scale.
Mr. Morton suggested conducting an economies of scale study to know how much
building can be built This would allow the EAR to move forward. It could be capped at 24
units until an amendment is proposed in the future. He recommended taking a month or
two and trying to get an analysis done with facts.
Ms. Yates commented that she preferred adopting the EAR Based Text amendments as
recommended by the DCA. There will be additional time in the future to do site planning
and the more than likely the building will not end up being 60 units to the acre. She
commented that the Board needs to make a strong action, and that the EAR needs to move
forward.
Mr. Young questioned how much the consultant has been paid and is the city in the
position to be sanctioned. Mr. Youkilis responded that the City had contracts of $75,000
and the City is in a current contract of $ 35,000. The DCA may peruse sanctions and that
the Comprehensive Plan or Land Use map cannot be changed until the EAR is completed.
Chairman opened the public hearing.

Mr. Harris commented that he is the pastor of Mount Olive Baptist Church in the City of

affects the target area. When speaking of who this project affects your looking at the
community. This project will help with the economic distress and the community needs as
much stimulus and affordability. Many businesses are willing to contribute to this
development. What hurts us is that sometimes we do things with good intension but it has a
bad outcome. The community needs things like affordable housing, mixed use, a person
selling food on a corner out of a truck. We would like to see people like that in the
community. The people of the community would like to buy food in that target area. I am
not an expert on the procedures but no matter what you decide nothing could be decided
until you receive a plan. This is very much needed for stimulus. God Bless.

Valencia got their high density rate and variances and it was told to the citizens that it
would be affordable housing. It is not affordable after a certain amount of time. She urged

neighborhood. She commented that Madison Square is not about affordable housing.
According to the meeting on affordable housing on. Thursday concerning Red Road
Commons a rent of $954 for a one bedroom was challenged. This is what happens when
you do not have fair representation by City officials and the City Attorney. She does not
believe that Madison Square needs low income housing not affordable housing, she
commented that it is not anticipated that this would be used in any other location according
to Mr. Youkilis. She also added more comments regarding the April 24 minutes. This
document is to allow the developers to step in and kick people out. This movement is made

It was referred back to the Board by the City Commission for a recommendation. The
underlying NR zoning district does not allow residential..
Mr. Morton questioned if it is land use category is .60 units per acre would all NR districts
get changed into 60 units. Mr. Youkilis replied that has no impact on the zoning category
and that could only be changed by the action from the Planning Board and City
Commission. The Board would have to create a separate zoning category. Mr. Youkilis
advised that the zoning district used on Madison Square could not be used on another
avenue.
Ms. Yates questioned in the Future Land Use category which is a text amendment, when
will the .map show where that particular category would be used. Mr. Youkilis replied that
would be-the next phase of Comprehensive Plan amendments.
Mr. Cruz questioned if the Land Use category is site specific only for Madison Square. Mr.
Youkilis responded that the wording submitted to DCA is not site specific and a future
commission could use this at another location if it is placed in the Plan.
Ms. Chael questioned if the Board was looking. at a density of 60 acres but caped at 4
stories. She commented if you are caped at four stories 'and you do have the standard for
• parking you will hit the wall in regards to all the requirements way before you reach 60
units. She commented that four stories is fine and is the center of the community and she
does not have a problem on how it was approved but someone needs to do a study of what
the project will look like, how many units etc.
Mr. Morton questioned if the board is in the position to recommend Alternative 3(A). Mr.
Youkilis responded there are many alternative recommendations and the Board could make
any recommendation it feels appropriate.
Mr. Cruz questioned if there was a study made for the 60 units. Mr. David responded that
the Corradino group is the overall consultant that has looked at the area collected
community input and made an analysis that determined that 60 units would fit.
Mr. Cruz questioned how the Board could get a hold of the research the group conducted.
Mr. Youkilis replied that it is attached, as an appendix to the EAR based amendments.
Motion: Ms. Yates moved and Mr. Cruz seconded that the following recommendations be
sent to the City Commission: .
1. That the draft ordinance removing the new land use category as suggested by
Comm. Beckman for Madison Sq. be denied;

AN EFFECTIVE DATE
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The City Commission at its February 3, 2009 meeting referred to the Planning Board for public
hearing an ordinance which would adopt the Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal
Report Based -Text Amendments document. The draft ordinance and the attached Exhibit "A ",
removes from the listed amendments any reference to a new land use category for the Madison
Square project. No other section of the amendments are to be considered at this hearing.
BACKGROUND
The final adoption of Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report Based -Text
Amendments has been pending since August 23, 2007 when the document was approved and
sent to DCA. The document adopted in 2007 was approved by Florida Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) in January 2008.
The approval by DCA contained a directive (ORC Report). that the City must make only one
technical amendment; adopt the EAR Based -Text Amendments by ordinance; and then it send
back to DCA within 120 days (May, 2008) as required by State Statute. This has not been
completed despite continuing attempts during the period April- August, 2008.
The specific reason for the delay relates to one of the proposed amendments which was adopted
as part of the original EAR Based Amendment in August 2007. That amendment created a new
• Future Land Use Category, entitled "Neighborhood Center /Mixed Use District ". The new
2
• category was to eventually be placed on the City's Future Land Use Map over the CRA project
area called Madison Square, a mixed use project with affordable housing units. The new category
provided for densities (60 units /acre, 2.0 FAR, 4 story max.) higher than all current Land Use
Categories. This higher density was recommended by the CRA staff, the Planning
Department and the City's EAR consultants in order to allow maximum development of
affordable housing units..
During the period April- August, 2008 the Planning Board and City Commission conducted
several hearings and workshops. This Madison Square issue was subject to debate as to whether
or not the Future Land Use Category for Madison Square should remain as submitted or should it
be reduced in density /height, or removed totally.
The final vote on second reading occurred at the City Commission meeting on May 20, 2008 at
which time a vote was taken on the entire EAR Based -Text Amendments with the new Land Use
Category for Madison. Square (with minor word adjustments). The vote was 3 -2 in support of the
document, however, a 4/5 vote was required by local Code. The minutes (excerpt) of that
Commission meeting is attached.
INFORMATION FROM FLORIDA DCA
In the interim period the City did obtain information from DCA concerning the delay in
approving the EAR Based -Text Amendments. At a special City Commission workshop held on
August 27, 2008 a representative from Florida DCA (R. Dennis) responded to a number of
questions concerning the City's status and the possibility of sanctions being taken against the
• City. Mr. Dennis also explained that a local government can only revise those sections of the
EAR Amendments which are directed by DCA. These questions were also responded to in an e-
mail sent to the City Manager (8 -27 -08 attached) from R. Eubanks, a DCA administrator.
NEW PROPOSAL FROM CITY COMMISSION (Exhibit "A ")
The proposal introduced by Commissioner Beckman and referred to the Planning Board makes
only one change to the EAR Based -Text Amendments. It is proposed that the entire reference to
a new Future Land Use Category "Neighborhood Center/Mixed Use District' ' which was adopted
in August 2007 be removed (See Exhibit "A" attached).
It also proposed as seen on Exhibit "A" (see Note) that the implementation of the Madison Square
project can be done under the existing land use category, which is "Mixed Use Commercial/
Residential" (allows 24 units /acre, 1.6 FAR, 4 story max.). The current zoning over the site
"NR" Neighborhood Retail which does not permit residential and is extremely limited in density,
would have to removed and a new zoning district established.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION
The Planning Board last considered this issue on April 21, 2008 at which time the Board by a
vote of 6 ayes 0 nays recommended that EAR Based -Text Amendments be adopted with the
technical amendment ordered by DCA and the new land use category for Madison Square
(Alternative III A). The minutes of that Board meeting is attached.
40
• RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Board is being requested to hold a public hearing and provide a recommendation
specifically on the referred draft ordinance including the revision shown on "Exhibit "A" which is
to entirely remove the proposed new Land Use Category for Madison Square ( "Neighborhood
Center /Mixed Use District ") and to implement the project using the parameters of the existing
land use category.
