01-09-07 Item 10L South Miami NI- AmericaChy CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI 1 I it OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM 2001 To: The Honorable Mayor Feliu and Members of the City Commission Via: Yvonne S. McKinley, City Manager From: Sanford A. Youkilis, Acting Planning Director Date: December 19, 2006 ITEM No /0. Subject: AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 20 -5.16 OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE RELATING TO UNITY OF TITLE; CREATING SUBSECTION 20- 5.16(F) TO PROVIDE FOR THE OPTION OF USING A DECLARATION OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS IN LIEU OF UNITY OF TITLE; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. ` Background: Section 20 -5.16 of the Land Development Code, requires a Unity of Title when a proposed development project is to be built on two or more platted lots. The term "Unity of Title" is defined under our Land Development Code as "a written agreement executed by and between a property owner and the City of South Miami, whereby the property owner for specified consideration by the City agrees that the lots and/or parcels of land constituting the building site shall not be conveyed, mortgaged and /or leased separate and apart from each other and they shall be held together as one tract." The proposed amendment to this Section 20 -5.16 simply allows the City to accept a "Declaration of Restriction" in lieu of the Unity of Title when approving a development on two or more abutting and platted lots. A Declaration of Restriction in lieu of a Unity of Title is one of many different written instruments utilized by municipalities to implement land use controls on property. Where a Unity of Title generally requires pursuant to our code only requires that the owner commit not to lease, mortgage or convey the parcels separately a Declaration of Restrictions in lieu of a Unity of Title essentially provides the City a better mechanism for imposing additional restrictions. Declaration of Restrictions in lieu of a Unity of Title are effectively deed restrictions that run with the land and limit the future use of the property. Deed restrictions may impose a variety of limitations and conditions, for example, they may limit the density or dictate the type of structure that can be erected, or prevent buildings from being used for a specific purpose. Consequently, this proposed amendment allows 2 for Declarations of Restrictions in lieu of the Unity of Title, to be utilized by the city when approving a development project on two or more abutting platted lots. Planning Board Action: The Planning Board at its November 29, 2006 after a public hearing adopted a motion by a vote of 4 ayes 2 nays recommending denial of the proposed amendment. Recommendation: It is recommended that the draft ordinance be adopted on first reading.
