RECOMMENDATION
The administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the subject ordinance.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On December 11, 2019, at the request of Commissioner Ricky Arriola, the City Commission
referred the item to the Land Use and Development Committee and the Planning Board (Item
C4M). The item was placed on the January 21, 2020 agenda of the newly created Land Use
and Sustainability Committee (LUSC) and deferred to the February 18, 2020 meeting. On
February 18, 2020,the LUSC recommended that the City Commission approve the ordinance.
ANALYSIS
PLANNING ANALYSIS
Attached is an ordinance proposed by the Fontainebleau Hotel, which would allow for ballrooms and
meeting space as a conditional use in the RM-2 district. Additionally, modifications to the minimum
required parking for such uses are proposed. This proposal is concurrent with a separate item that
Page 672 of 2461
will be considered by the City Commission pertaining to a bridge structure that would connect the
new ballroom building to the main hotel campus.
The following are the specific text amendments proposed in the attached draft ordinance;
Sec. 130-32.-Off-street parking requirements for parking district no. 1.
(7) Auditorium, ballroom, convention hall, gymnasium, meeting moms or other similar places of
assembly: One space per every four seats or one space per every 60 square feet of floor area
available for seats_ For ballrooms and meeting moms in buildings associatml with a hotel located in
the RM-3 district (subject to the requirement that such hotel property be located within 100 feet of
the ballroom and meeting mom property), one space per every eight seats or one space per every
120 square feet of floor area available for seats.
Section 142-213. Conditional Uses.
(a) The conditional uses in the RM2 residential multifamily, medium intensity district are as
follows: (1) Day care facility; (2) Stand-alone religious institutions; (3) Private and public
institutions; (4) Schools,- (5) Commercial or noncommercial parking lots and garages;J Stand-
alone ballrooms and meeting rooms when associated with a hotel located in the RM-3 district
(subject to the requirement that such hotel property be located within 100 feet of the ballroom and
meeting room property): and (7) accessory neighborhood impact establishment; as set forth in
article V, division 6 of this chapter.
Because the proposed ordinance requires conditional use approval from Planning Board for the
ballrooms and meeting rooms, any potential impacts from such a development can be minimized or
mitigated as part of the conditional use process. Staff is supportive of the proposed text
amendments. In this regard, the allowance of non-residential uses in the RM-2 district would be
limited to locations such as the site on the southeast corner of 44th Street and Indian Creek Drive,
which is buffered by a standalone parking structure.
Additionally, the proposed reduction in the minimum parking requirements for ballroom and meeting
space, as proposed,would be limited to sites such as the above example,which have full access to a
larger parking structure on an adjacent RM-3 site. It is also expected that most patrons accessing
any meeting and ballroom spaces will be guests of the nearby hotel, further minimizing the need for
additional parking.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
The March 24, 2020 and April 21, 2020 Planning Board meetings were cancelled. On May 19,
2020, the Planning Board held a public hearing and transmitted the ordinance to the City
Commission with a favorable recommendation by a vote of 7-0 with no changes.
UPDATE
The subject ordinance was approved at first reading on June 24, 2020,with no changes.
CONCLUSION
The administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the subject ordinance.
