The City Administration recommends setting a first reading on April 20, 1994 and a second reading/public hearing on May 6, 1994 to consider the attached alternate amending ordinances from the Historic Preservation Board and the Planning Board. BACKGROUND The Historic Preservation Board originally requested consideration of a comprehensive amendment package to Section 19 of the Zoning Ordinance (the Historic Preservation Board and Historic District Regulations) pertaining to board powers and duties, as well as historic districts, buildings and sites. These original proposed amendments were discussed on December 21, 1993 and continued by the Planning Board to the January 25th, 1994, regular meeting. In the interim, a Workshop to discuss the proposed amendments and changes was held on January 12, 1994. The City Attorney and City Administration proposed further revisions to the amendments as a result of the Workshop meeting. At the February 22nd regular meeting, the Planning Board continued the matter without discussion in order to review the new changes that were introduced into the amendments. In the intervening weeks, legal and planning staff met with the Legal Counsel for the Miami Design Preservation League to review several other issues and refinements to the Ordinance. On March 22, 1994, the Planning Board voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the Ordinance, as amended. The original amending ordinance as recommended by the Historic Preservation Board, and the revised amending ordinance as recommended by the Planning Board, are both attached hereto.
