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

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
