ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance. BACKGROUND On January 15, 2014, the City Commission referred a discussion item to the Land Use and Development Committee, regarding the setback regulations for detached cabana structures and ADA walkways, located within the Miami Beach Architectural District. The City Commission also referred the item to the Planning Board. On February 19, 2014, the Land Use and Development Committee reviewed the proposed Ordinance. The committee recommended in favor of the reduction in the required side setbacks for detached accessory structures for RM-3 properties located within the Miami Beach Architectural District. However concerns were expressed regarding the proposed reduction in the required rear setbacks. A combination of a reduced percentage from the existing requirement (20% of the lot depth, 50 feet minimum from the bulkhead line, whichever is greater), along with a minimum setback of 10 feet from the Oceanfront Overlay District, was discussed. The Land use and Development Committee requested that the Planning Board review in particular the rear setback requirements and provide a recommendation. The LUDC was supportive of the requested modifications to allow reduced setbacks for ADA ramps and walkways located within a required sideyard; however it was Commission Memorandum Ordinance:RM-3 Oceanfront Setbacks April 23, 2014 Page 2 of 3 recommended that an awning be provided where feasible, rather than required as part of the walkway and ramp construction. ANALYSIS The subject Ordinance proposes to modify 2 separate sections of Chapter 142 of the City Code. The first section addresses side and rear setbacks for detached additions for RM-3 zoned Oceanfront lots within the Miami Beach Architectural District, and the second section addresses allowable encroachments within required yards, by expanding the list of allowable encroachments. The first section of the proposed Ordinance would apply to all RM-3 zoned oceanfront properties in the National Register Architectural District, which is composed of lots on the east side of Collins Avenue from 16th Street to 21St Street. Detached structures are considered a `pedestal', if they are less than 50' in height. In accordance with the setback requirements in the RM-3 district, the minimum interior and street side setbacks for a detached pedestal addition are 7'-6" or 8% of lot width, whichever is greater. The rear setback is 20% of lot depth or 50 feet from the bulkhead line whichever is greater. For those portions of a property that lie within the Oceanfront Overlay (that area 50' west of the bulkhead line), the minimum required setback from a side lot line is 15' and the minimum required setback from the bulkhead line is 10'. This proposal originated concurrently with a recently approved expansion project at the Raleigh Hotel. Specifically, the minimum interior side setback requirements for certain types of detached cabana structures, and associated accessibility ramps, are proposed to be relaxed. In this regard, the property owner of the Raleigh Hotel has very serious limitations on the ability to add a modest amount of additional cabana areas at the rear of the property, due to the location of the existing, historic hotel, as well as the existing pool, deck and related ancillary structures. Because of the very high degree of historic and architectural integrity associated with the existing structures on the subject site, relief from the existing setback requirements was provided by variances granted by the Board of Adjustment, in order to accommodate a modest expansion proposal at the rear of the site. The proposed additions at the back of the property are being done in conjunction with a detailed historic restoration of the larger site. However, due to legal complications, the owner of the Raleigh Hotel has proposed a code amendment in lieu of moving forward with the variances granted by the BOA. Although not opposed to the concept of reducing setback requirements for small, detached structures in the rear yard of oceanfront lots, further review and study may be required regarding changes to the rear setback requirements. Oceanfront lots are also subject to the requirements of the Oceanfront Overlay District and the Dune Preservation Overlay District, and each district has strict regulations on the type of construction permitted, permitted uses, as well as setbacks from both the side property lines, bulkhead line and erosion control line. Although supportive of the concept of relaxing the rear setback requirements, as noted in the Planning Department version of the Ordinance, further study of the existing requirements, including existing and historic site conditions, may be required in order to ensure that there are no unintended consequences with the proposed reduction in the rear setback requirements. The second section of the proposed Ordinance is to expand upon the allowable encroachments within required yards, to make additional accommodations for ADA compliant walkways and ramps. In the Planning Department version of the Ordinance, changes are recommended to allow expanded ADA access, while at the same time Commission Memorandum Ordinance:RM-3 Oceanfront Setbacks April 23, 2014 Page 3 of 3 leaving some room for a landscape buffer between the walkway,and adjacent property. Staff has also recommend that the encroachment into the setback for ADA walkways and ramps be permitted when providing access to existing `Contributing' structures only, and that any connection to new additions comply with current code requirements for ADA walkways and ramps. PLANNING BOARD REVIEW The Planning Board reviewed the proposed Ordinance on February 25, 2014 (PB File No. 2166), and recommended approval by a vote of 7 to 0. FISCAL IMPACT In accordance with Charter Section 5.02, which requires that the "City of Miami Beach shall consider the long term economic impact (at least 5 years) of proposed legislative actions," this shall confirm that the City Administration evaluated the long term economic impact (at least 5 years) of this proposed legislative action. The proposed Ordinance is not expected to have any tangible fiscal impact. SUMMARY The subject Ordinance was approved at First Reading on March 5, 2014. Since this approval, some concerns have been expressed by affected property owners regarding the requirement for Historic Preservation Board review of any new addition seeking to utilize the relaxed setback standards proposed herein. While required under Article X of the Land Development Regulations, the Administration would recommend that the requirement for Historic Preservation Board review be stated explicitly within the revised subsection proposed to be amended herein. The modified language addressing this change is delineated in the recommendation below. CONCLUSION The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the subject Ordinance, with the following modification to Section 142-247: Notwithstanding the above, and subject to the review and approval of the Historic Preservation Board, oceanfront lots located in the Miami Beach Architectural District shall be permitted to construct detached additions at a height not to exceed 25 feet and shall have setback requirements as follows: Side, interior- 5 feet Side, street- 5 feet Rear - 10% of lot depth or the western edge of the Oceanfront Overlay, whichever is greater JLM/JMJ/TRM TAAGENDA\2014\Apri1\RM-3 Oceanfront Setbacks-MEM 2nd Read.docx MIAMI HERALD I MiamiHerald.com NE THURSDAY,APRIL 10,2014 1 9NE MIAMIBEACH CITY OF MIAMI BEACH NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARINGS NOTICE IS HEREBY given that public hearings will be held by the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach,Florida,in the Commission Chambers,3rd floor,City Hall,1700 Convention Center Drive,Miami Beach,Florida,on April 23,2014,to consider the fallowing: 10:15 a.m. A Resolution Adopting The Second Amendment To The General Fund,Enterprise Fund,-Internal Service Fund And Special Revenue Fund Budgets For Fiscal Year(FY)2013/2014.Inquiries may be directed to the Budget Office 305-673-7510. 10:25 a.m. An Ordinance Amending Chapter 70 Of The Code Of The City Of Miami Beach,Entitled"Miscellaneous Offenses,"By Amending Article II,Entitled"Public Places"To Prohibit Motorized Means Of Transportation On The Beachwalk Between 15th To 23rd Streets And Between 64,"To 791"Streets, And On The Lummus Park Promenade(Also Known As The Lummus Park Serpentine Walkway)Between 51 And 15'"Street;Providing For Repealer,Severability,Codification,And An Effective Date.Inquiries may be directed to the City Attorney's Office 305-673-7470. 10:35 a.m. An Ordinance Amending Chapter 10 Of The Miami Beach City Code Entitled"Animals,"By Amending Section 10-11,Entitled"Running At Large Prohibited,"By Extending The Pilot Program Off-Leash Area For Dogs In South Pointe Park Through And Including December 31,2014;
