ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission set the first reading, public
hearing for April 1 0, 2002.
OVERVIEW
The request to change the Land Development Regulations for GC Golf Course district was
made pursuant to an application filed by La Gorce Country Club for consideration by the
Planning Board. The GC Golf Course District is designed to accommodate golf courses on
private property, and La Gorce Golf Course is the only one in the City of Miami Beach that
meets this district purpose.
The La Gorce Country Club obtained Design Review approval for the replacement of the
demolished clubhouse at the December 18, 2001 Design Review Board meeting. The
plans depict the new clubhouse and the retention of the tennis courts and the surface
parking lots. The Design Review Board, as a condition of approval of the construction of
the new clubhouse, required that the structure that may be built to store the garden debris,
also have a setback of 170 feet from any property line.
