ITEM No. 1)4
From: Maria Davis Re: LDC Amendment
City Manager 9 HP -OV District
ORDINANCE
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, PROVIDING FOR TECHNICAL
AMENDMENTS TO THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI LAND DEVELOPMENT
CODE, BY AMENDING SECTION 20 -3.1 ENTITLED "ZONING USE
DISTRICTS AND PURPOSES" IN ORDER TO ADD A NEW HISTORIC
PRESERVATION OVERLAY DISTRICT (HP -OV); BY AMENDING SECTION
20 -5.17 ENTITLED "DESIGNATION OF HISTORIC DISTRICTS" IN ORDER
TO CLARIFY THE PROCESS OF DESIGNATING HISTORIC SITES AND
DISTRICTS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; ORDINANCES IN
CONFLICT, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND
The current LDC regulations on historic designation do not provide any procedures to record or
document a designation. To date the City's two historic site designations have been done by
resolutions and are not shown on the City's official zoning map or the future Land Use Map of
the Comprehensive Plan. In the absence of this connection the legal power of zoning would not
be applicable to historic preservation. In order to fully document and record this designation it is
recommended that the Land Development Code be amended to create an "HP -OV" Historic
Preservation Overlay zoning district thereby allowing the designation to become a zone map
change. This will include an expansion of the Planning Board's role in the historic designation
process.
AMENDMENT ORDINANCE
The proposed ordinance amends Section 20 -3.1, "Zoning Use Districts and Purposes" by
creating the Historic Preservation Overlay District classification with a defined district purpose
statement. The symbol "HP -OV" symbol is also established and would be used on the zoning
map. LDC Section 20 -5.17 entitled "Designation of historic sites" is amended in order to clarify
the designation process and to expand the Planning Board's role in the historic designation
process. The amendment provides that the Planning Board would process a recommended
historic designation as a zone map change requiring notification, posting and a public hearing.
LDC Amendment
HP -OV
October 5, 2004
Page 2 of 2
The City Commission `s role is also clarified to indicate that their approval action will involve
public hearings and the adoption of an ordinance.
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
(1) The HP -OV zoning district is an overlay district which "overlays" the underlying zone use
district. The provisions, standards, and procedures already set forth in the LDC for properties
designated as an historic site or district shall be in addition to all other applicable requirements
in the Land Development Code. All uses allowed by the underlying use district continue to be
permitted.
(2) The LDC amendment creating the HP -OV zone and the expansion of the Planning Board's
role in historic designation was recommended by the Zoning Task Force in 2002. In addition the
HP -OV zone and the role of the Planning Board has been reviewed by the Historic Preservation
Board.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION
The Planning Board at its August 31, 2004 meeting adopted a motion by a vote of 5 aye 0 nay to
recommend approval of the subject amendment ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the attached ordinance be adopted on second reading.

Mr. O'Donniley also added the following staff observations:
