02-06-07 Item 9South Miami AO- America M CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI 11111.1 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: Julian Perez, Planning Direct 9 Date: January 23, 2007 ITEM No 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.

Planning Board Applications / Public Hearing (E)PB -06 -036 Applicant: City of South Miami AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, AMENDING SECTION 20 -5.16 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. Action: Mr. Farfan read the ordinance into the record. The City Attorney Eve Boutsis provided a background summary on the proposed ordinance. Ms. Boutsis indicated that presently 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. However, Ms. Boutsis stated that making the change to allow developers to form a joint venture would Planning Board Meeting November 29, 2006 Page 2 of 2 benefit the city because it would allow South Miami to impose more demands. Additionally, this ordinance is in the best interests of the City and consistent with mixed use development trends. It will provide the city with the option of requiring a declaration of restriction in lieu of unity of title, rather than solely the option of unity of title for development. Furthermore, she noted that the use of declaration of restrictions in lieu of unity of title would provide the same safeguards, and will allow for a project to be developed with multiple ownership, rather than a single individual. Chairman Morton opened the public hearing. Speakers: NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE Kathy McCann Opposed Ms. McCann indicated she did not see the advantage of the City using the declaration of restrictions in lieu of the declaration of restrictions. Dean Whitman Opposed Mr. Whitman expressed his concern of the proposed ordinance and stated that the change was not needed but seem to him dangerous to get into. Chris Cooke - Yarborough Neutral Mr. Yarborough first expressed his concern for why was the proposed ordinance drafted in the first place. Secondly, he noted his skepticism about the ordinance because the current unity of title works fine, therefore, if the ordinance is not faulty then why should it be changed. However, he urged the Board to review thoroughly the ordinance and determine if indeed it was in the City's best interest. Beth Schwartz Opposed Ms. Schwartz re- iterated Mr. Whitman concern about the ordinance and urged the Board to not support the ordinance because it is a dangerous change for the City. To conclude she noted that the proposed ordinance is not a good idea. Chairman Morton closed the public hearing Motion: Ms. Young made a motion recommending denial of the proposed ordinance. Ms. Beckman seconded the motion.
