BACKGROUND
The North Beach Town Center Plan was adopted by the Mayor and City Commission on
July 11, 2007. The purpose of the Town Center Plan is to stimulate reinvestment and
guide future development to create a vibrant commercial center serving the entire North
Beach community. The next step is to amend the zoning ordinance and the
comprehensive plan to implement the land use and urban design recommendations in
the conceptual plan.
The Planning Department prepared the North Beach Town Center Development Code
as a comprehensive guide to the purpose and effect of each element of the proposed
code amendments. This document was reviewed at a community workshop in North
Beach on September 16, 2008 and in two workshops with the Planning Board on
October 28, 2008 and November 25, 2008.

The Land Use and Development Committee discussed the proposed TC code on
February 9, 2009 and heard public testimony. The Committee expressed their desire to
ensure that the new regulations are not overly burdensome on developers, provide
incentives to attract new development, potentially reducing the area of the Town Center
to concentrate development in the blocks between Collins and Abbott Avenues, and
emphasizing the importance of constructing a public parking garage. The Committee
passed a motion to hold a special LUDC meeting to further discuss this item due to its
importance and complexity. Subsequently, staff met individually with the Mayor and
members of the LUDC and determined that there was consensus to move forward with
the ordinance including certain modifications that have been incorporated into the
ordinance.
The Land Use and Development Committee discussed the proposed TC code for a
second time on March 22, 2010. The Committee voted to send the item on to the
Planning Board, after first holding a public workshop in the North Beach Town Center
area, and with the following changes and conditions: 1) no variances to the use
provisions; 2) prohibit rooftop alcoholic beverage venues; 3) limit accessory uses in
hotels in the TC-3 area to a similar ratio of seats to rooms as used for South Pointe; 4)
address outdoor bar counters by prohibiting or limiting to more than 100 feet from a,
residential use; and 5) inclusion of additional TC-3 area north of Publix into area
permitting additional expanded conditional uses. The item is scheduled to return to.
Committee prior to first reading at the full Commission.
The Planning Department held two community workshops on the proposed North Beach ,
Town Center zoning amendments on Wednesday, May 5, 2010. The two meetings were
held at 4 PM at the Shane Rowing Center and at 6:30 PM at the North Shore Youth
Center. Notices of the workshops were mailed to all property owners within a 375 feet ;
radius of the Town Center. Comments from the community were generally very positive.
On June 22, 2010, the Planning Board voted 5-0 to recommend approval of all four'
ordinances related to rezoning of the North Beach Town Center: the zoning text ,
amendment, the zoning map amendment, the comprehensive plan text amendment and
the future land use map amendment.
STAFF ANALYSIS
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt .these
resolutions scheduling a first reading public hearing on September 15, 2010 to consider
all four ordinances related to rezoning of the North Beach Town Center: the zoning text
amendment, the zoning map amendment, the comprehensive plan text amendment and
the future land use map amendment.
