WHEREAS, the West Avenue neighborhood is primarily comprised of residential uses;
and
WHEREAS, Objective 2 of the Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan
provides that "[I]and development regulations will be used to address the location, type, size and
intensity of land uses and to ensure adequate land use compatibility between residential and
non-residential land uses"; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission desire to encourage uses that are
compatible with the low scale character of the West Avenue neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, Division 5 of Article Ill of Chapter 142 of the City Code sets forth overlay
zoning regulations for the West Avenue Bay Front Overlay; and
WHEREAS, under certain conditions, suite hotels and bed and breakfast inns are
currently allowable uses in the West Ave Bay Front overlay district; however, hotels and
apartment hotels are prohibited; and
WHEREAS, hostels and other high occupancy transient uses, like hotels and apartment
hotels, are more intense than bed and breakfasts and suite hotels, and are therefore
incompatible with low scale residential neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, just as hostels, hotels, and apartment hotels are more intense uses than

the accessory uses allowed to bed and breakfasts and suite hotels (e.g., dining rooms); and
WHEREAS, suite hotels can be used as high occupancy transient uses, like hotels and
apartment hotels and are therefore incompatible with low scale residential neighborhoods
without occupancy regulations; and

RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.
ANALYSIS
HISTORY
On November 9, 2016, at the request of Commissioner Joy Malakoff, the City Commission referred
this item(item C4J)to the Land Use and Development Committee (LUDC). On November 16, 2016,
the LUDC continued the item to a date certain of December 12, 2016.
On December 12, 2016, the LUDC discussed the item and directed staff to prepare a draft
Ordinance for the January 18, 2017 Land Use Committee meeting. On January 18, 2017, the Land
Use Committee recommended that the City Commission refer the attached ordinance to the Planning
Board for consideration.
On February 8, 2017, the Mayor and City Commission referred this item to the Planning Board for
consideration (item C4H.)
BACKGROUND
In 2002, the West Avenue Bay Front Overlay was created, which includes properties lying within the
RM-1, RM-2 and RM-3 zoning districts. The overlay is generally bounded by the Collins Canal on
Page 1230 of 1414
the north, the south side of 11th Street on the south, the centerline of Alton Court (alley west of Alton
Road) on the east and Biscayne Bay on the west. The overlay also includes the boundaries of the
Gilbert Fein Neighborhood Conservation District (NCD).
At the time the city established the West Avenue overlay, the City Code permitted hotels uses in the
RM-2 and RM-3 districts within the overlay, but prohibited hotels in the RM-1 district. In order to
incentivize the retention and adaptive re-use of the lower scale structures in the RM-1 district, the
overlay allows for Suite Hotels and Bed and Breakfast Inns for existing structures in the area.
Additionally, the overlay regulations allow stand-alone residential offices within existing structures
within the boundaries.
In 2013, the City Code was amended to prohibit hotels in the RM-2 and RM-3 areas of the West
Avenue corridor. However, Sec 142-845 of the City Code was not amended, and Suite Hotels and
Bed and Breakfast Inns remained as allowable uses in existing buildings in all districts within the
West Avenue Bay Front Overlay.
Recently, residents within the West Avenue Bay Front Overlay area have expressed concerns with
the conversions of existing apartment buildings into Suite Hotels, particularly in light of the prohibition
on hotels adopted in 2013. Most of these concerns center on the possible abuses of the allowable
accessory uses and the volume of guests when the suite hotels are used as `hostels,' which the
residents find to be incompatible with the low scale residential nature of the West Avenue Corridor.
The following is the current ordinance text regarding Suite Hotels and Bed & Breakfast Inns within
the West Avenue Bay Front Overlay:
Sec. 142-845. - Suites Hotel and Bed and Breakfast Inn Overlay Area.
a. The Suites Hotel and Bed and Breakfast Inn Overlay Area is designed to accommodate the
adaptive reuse of existing single-family and multi-family residential structures as of (the
effective date of this ordinance) to allow for lodging and guest amenities as main permitted
uses.
1. Suites hotels and bed breakfast inns in the Overlay Area shall not be permitted to have dance
halls, entertainment establishments, neighborhood impact establishments, outdoor
entertainment establishments or open air entertainment establishments.
2. The building identification sign for a suites hotel or bed and breakfast inn shall be the same
as allowed for an apartment building in the underlying zoning district in which it is located.
3. The building(s) shall have central air conditioning or flush-mounted wall units;however no air
conditioning equipment may face a street or the Bay.
4. The maximum amount of time that any person other than the owner may stay in a suites hotel
or bed and breakfast inn during a one-year period shall not exceed six months.
a. Suites hotels are permitted in existing multi-family structures and in single-family structures,
including those that have been combined with adjacent multi-family or single-family
structures through unity of title, subject to the following conditions:
1. Suites hotels may have full cooking facilities in units with a minimum of 400 square feet.
2. The building shall be maintained and operated as a hotel, with a registration desk and a
lobby.
3. Should the facility convert from a suites hotel to a multifamily/single-family residential
building, the minimum average unit size and all other zoning requirements for the underlying
Page 1231 of 1414
district shall be met.
4. Suites hotels located in the subject district may have accessory uses based upon the below
criteria:
1. A dining room operated solely for registered hotel guests and their visitors, located inside the
building, with no exterior signs, entrances or exits except as required by the South Florida
Building Code.
2. Other accessory uses customarily associated with the operation of an apartment building, as
referenced in subsection 142-902(2), for the use of registered hotel guests and their visitors
only.
Also for clarification, the following are the current definitions of 'hotel', 'hotel unit', 'dining room', and
'restaurant'from the city code, section 114.1:
Hotel means a building occupied or intended to be occupied by transient residents, with all
residents occupying hotel units and where ingress or egress may or may not be through a
common lobby or office that is supervised by a person in charge at all times
Hotel unit means a room, or group of rooms, with ingress or egress which may or may not
be through a common lobby, intended for rental to transients on a day-to-day, week-to-week,
or month-to-month basis, not intended for use or used as a permanent dwelling and without
cooking facilities. (This term includes a suite hotel unit, see section 142-1105.)
Dining room, accessory means a portion of a building devoted exclusively to the serving of
food and refreshment for consumption on the premises by occupants.
Restaurant means a commercial establishment where refreshments or meals may be
purchased by the public and which conducts the business of serving of food to be consumed
on or off the premises.
Currently, the City Code does not have a definition for'hostel'and therefore for zoning purposes they
are treated as a hotel, or a suite hotel when the unit contains a kitchen. The main difference between
a hotel use and a hostel use is that a 'hotel' consists of booking the entire room while a 'hostel'
typically means booking a bed space in a room occupied by other people who have done the same.
In order to provide clarity, a definition for 'hostel' has been drafted, and is within the text of the
proposed ordinance. To be considered a hostel, the property must provide short-term, shared
(dormitory-style) accommodation for individual travelers, though many hostels also provide private
rooms. The word "dormitory" refers to a room where travelers independently book individual beds in
a shared room as opposed to booking entire rooms like in a hotel or guesthouse.
Pursuant to the direction of the Land Use Committee, the attached ordinance amends parts of the
West Avenue Bay Front Overlay section of the city code and the definitions section of the code. The
following is a summary of the proposed legislation:
1. Creating a definition for'hostel';
2. Make hostels a prohibited use in the West Avenue Bay Front overlay;
3. Establishing maximum occupancies in hostel and suite hotel rooms based on the square
footage of a unit;
4. Tightening up the provisions for allowable 'dining rooms' in the West Avenue Bay Front
Page 1232 of 1414
overlay, in order to ensure they do not operate as commercial restaurants.
5. Further clarifying the distinction between a 'restaurant' and a 'dining room', by revising the
definition of'restaurant' in the definition section of the City Code.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On April 25, 2017, the Planning Board transmitted the proposed Land Development Amendment to
the City Commission with a favorable recommendation. The Planning Board also recommended the
following modification to the proposed definition of hostel, under Sec. 114-1 of the City Code: with
the recommendations listed below:
1. That the occupancy limitations shall be removed from the definition of"hostel" as follows:
Sec. 114-1. Definitions
Hostel means a building occupied or intended to be occupied by transient residents. where
ingress or egress may or may not be through a common lobby or office that is supervised by
a person in charge at all times. A hostel provides communal or dormitory-style
accommodations where transient residents can rent a bed. usually a bunk bed(as opposed
to renting an entire unit, as in a hotel or suite hotel). and share a bathroom. lounge. and
sometimes a kitchen. Rooms can be mixed or single-sex, although private rooms may also
be available. The transient resident occupancy of a hostel shall not cxcccd the following
limits per individual unit:
a. For units between 300 and 335 square feet, occupancy shall be limited to four(1)persons.
b. For units between 336 and 485 square feet. occupancy shall be limited to six(6)persons.
c. For units larger than 486 square feet, occupancy shall be limited to eight (8) persons. No
hostel unit may be occupied by more than eight(8)persons.
The Planning Board also recommended that the City determine separately in which zoning districts
hostels should be allowed and that occupancy limits be applied within those districts.
SUMMARY
The subject ordinance was approved at First Reading on May 17, 2017, as originally drafted with the
occupant limits included in the definition of'Hostel'. Pursuant to the direction of the City Commission
on May 17, 2017, the Administration has evaluated zoning districts where hostels would be most
appropriate, and where occupant limits may be appropriate. In this regard, since only a definition of
'hostel' is being created, the Administration is recommending that the attached draft ordinance, which
identifies specific zoning districts for hostels, be referred to the Land Use and Development
Committee and the Planning Board.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that:
1. The City Commission adopt the Ordinance; and
2. The attached DRAFT Ordinance pertaining to hostel locations be referred to the Land Use and
Page 1233 of 1414
Development Committee and Planning Board for action.
