NOTE: THIS AMENDING ORDINANCE B WAS AMENDED AT THE
OCTOBER 11, 1995, CITY COMMISSION FIRST READING
PUBLIC HEARING - (SEE PAGE 8, HEREIN) .
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt on
second reading Ordinance A regarding the creation of Section 12B
entitled "Outdoor Entertainment Establishment" and "Neighborhood
Impact Establishment" within Zoning Ordinance No. 89-2665 and the
companion Ordinance B which includes the clarification that uses
serving alcoholic beverages are not permitted within the RM-1
Residential Multi Family zoning district and are accessory uses
only within the RM-2 and RM-3 districts. Ordinance B has been
further amended to contain new regulations for outdoor
entertainment establishments and open air entertainment
establishments as prohibited accessory uses within the RM-2
Residential Multi Family zoning district.
PAGE 2 OF 9
BACKGROUND
The City Administration had previously requested the Planning,
Design and Historic Preservation Division to study the inherent
problems related to nightclubs, which can, at a minimum, lead to
traffic congestion, lack of adequate parking (whether valet or self
park) , unacceptable noise levels, crowd control problems, proximity
of incompatible uses and other potential negative impacts on
surrounding residents and properties.
On May 9, 1995, the Planning Board conducted a workshop to discuss
the nightclub issue and the accompanying problems that are
associated with this type of operation and it was determined that
changing the definition of a nightclub may not be the appropriate
course of action. Presently, many establishments that would not be
considered a nightclub (under today's definition within the Zoning
Code) may be a nuisance to adjacent properties and the surrounding
neighborhood regardless of the description on their occupational
license. The Board felt that an amending ordinance should address
the problems related with the use, rather than the definition of
the use itself.
On May 23 , 1995, the Board discussed a draft amendment to the Code
that would define entertainment and would require establishments
with outdoor entertainment to be reviewed for approval via the
conditional use process. This would include indoor entertainment
that could be audible outdoors given the nature of the
establishment's design. Also, any alcoholic beverage
establishment with an occupant content in excess of 300 patrons
would require conditional use approval. The new amendment provides
a list of review criteria and codifies an appeal process relevant
to the determination of these types of uses.
That ordinance (Ordinance A) was unanimously (6-0, one absentee)
recommended for approval by the Planning Board at their June 27,
1995 public hearing. The Board also expressed concern at this
meeting that these types of newly defined establishments have not
been given consideration as accessory uses in the RM-2 and RM-3
zoning districts where such uses are permitted and could
conceivably become a problem. In order for Ordinance A to be
consistent and uniform throughout the City, the Planning Board
requested that a similar amendment (Ordinance B) be brought back to
the Board at their July meeting to address these accessory uses.
Ordinance B was unanimously (5-0, one absentee and one recusal)
recommended for approval by the Board at its July 25th meeting.
On a related matter, an amending ordinance was adopted on September
13, 1995, by the City Commission regarding the designation of a
"Cabaret District" on Ocean Drive between 9th and 11th Streets as
stipulated to in the newly adopted Noise Ordinance.
PAGE 3 OF 9
At the October 11, 1995 first reading public hearing, Ordinance A
was approved as written. Ordinance B was amended to prohibit
Outdoor Entertainment Establishments and Open Air Entertainment
Establishments within the RM-2 zoning districts. Ordinance B would
still require conditional use approval for Neighborhood Impact
Establishments, Outdoor Entertainment Establishments and Open Air
Entertainment Establishments within the RM-3 zoning district as
originally proposed within the amendment, as well as, Neighborhood
Impact Establishments within the RM-2 zoning district.
The Commission also remanded back to the Planning Board a further
study regarding the prohibition or limitation of Neighborhood
Impact Establishments, Outdoor Entertainment Establishments and
Open Air Entertainment Establishments within the South Pointe
Redevelopment Area (Performance Standards Districts) .
ANALYSIS OF ORDINANCE A - (UNCHANGED)
What follows is an analysis of each section of this proposed
amendment with an analysis of the amended companion ordinance
(Ordinance B) to follow.
The attached amending Ordinance A, adds two new definitions to
Section 3 entitled "Definitions" and creates a new Section 12B,
entitled "Outdoor Entertainment Establishments and Neighborhood
Impact Establishments" within the current Zoning Ordinance No. 89-
2665.
Section 1.
This section of the amending Ordinance A creates definitions for an
"Alcoholic Beverage Establishment" and a "Commercial Establishment"
within Subsection 3-2 "Terms Defined" of the current Zoning Code.
These terms would be used throughout the entire Zoning Code and are
included for clarification purposes.
Section 2 .
This portion of the proposed amendment creates the new Section 12B,
entitled "Outdoor Entertainment Establishments and Neighborhood
Impact Establishments" which is made up of three subsections;
Definitions, Review Criteria and an Appeal of a Determination
process.
The first subsection, 12B-1, entitled "Definitions" creates new
definitions for entertainment and establishments with outdoor
entertainment that would be reviewed under conditional use
procedures for approval. An establishment with indoor
entertainment (as newly defined) that was audible outdoors due to
PAGE 4 OF 9
the design of the building would also require conditional use
approval . In addition to these particular types of uses, Alcoholic
Beverage Establishments with an occupant content of 300 hundred or
more patrons would come under these new regulations. The new
definitions would be as follows:
For the purpose of this section, the following terms, phrases
and words shall have the meaning given herein:
A. "Entertainment" shall mean any live show or live
performance or music amplified or non-amplified.
Exceptions: Indoor movie theater; Big screen television
and\or background music, amplified or non-amplified,
played at a volume that does not interfere with normal
conversation.
B. "Neighborhood Impact Establishment" shall mean an
Alcoholic Beverage Establishment with an occupant content
of three hundred (300) or more persons as determined by
the Chief Fire Marshall.
C. "Open Air Entertainment Establishment" shall mean a
Commercial Establishment which provides entertainment, as
defined in paragraph A, indoors or in an enclosed
courtyard or area which by its design is open to the
outside, thereby enabling the entertainment to be audible
outdoors.
D. "Outdoor Entertainment Establishment" shall mean a
Commercial Establishment which provides outdoor
entertainment as defined in paragraph A.
The intent of these new definitions is to include all uses with
entertainment, as defined above, which is either outdoors or
indoors but audible outdoors, to be reviewed pursuant to the
conditional use process. The term entertainment as proposed would
exclude low-volume amplified or non-amplified background music as
long as it is played at a volume that would not interfere with
normal conversation. In this manner, an exterior sound system or
a strolling musician playing music at a volume that does not
interfere with normal conversation in an outdoor restaurant would
not require conditional use approval. However, the sound level of
the establishment would still be subject to the regulations within
the noise ordinance. Also, any establishment that serves alcoholic
beverages and has an occupant content set by the City's Fire
Marshall at 300 or more patrons would require conditional use
approval.
PAGE 5 OF 9
The second Subsection 12B-2 , entitled "Review guidelines" creates
new review criteria for these types of uses that would be used in
addition to the existing Conditional Use review procedures as
listed in Section 17 of the current zoning code. Presently,
conditional uses may be approved in accordance with the procedures
and standards of Section 17 , provided that:
1. The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan or
Neighborhood Plan if one exists for the area in which the
property is located.
2 . The intended Use or construction will not result in an
impact that will exceed the thresholds for the levels of
service as set forth in the Comprehensive Plan.
3 . Structures and Uses associated with the request are
consistent with this Ordinance.
4 . The public health, safety, morals, and general welfare
will not be adversely affected.
5. Adequate Off-Street Parking facilities will be provided.
6. Necessary safeguards will be provided for the protection
of surrounding property, persons, and neighborhood
values.
The additional new review criteria would be as follows:
A. An Operational\Business Plan which addresses hours of
operation, number of employees, menu items, goals of
business, and other operational characteristics pertinent
to the application.
B. A Parking Plan which fully describes where and how the
parking is to be provided and utilized, eg. , valet,
selfpark, shared parking, after-hour metered spaces and
the manner in which it is to be managed.
C. An indoor\outdoor Crowd Control Plan which addresses how
large groups of people waiting to gain entry into the
establishment, or already on the premises will be
controlled.
D. A Security Plan for the establishment and any parking
facility.
E. A Traffic Circulation Analysis and Plan which details the
impact of projected traffic on the immediate neighborhood
and how this impact is to be mitigated.
PAGE 6 OF 9
w
F. A Sanitation Plan which addresses on-site facilities as
well as off-premises issues resulting from the operation
of the establishment.
G. A Noise Attenuation Plan which addresses how noise will
be controlled to meet the requirements of the Noise
Ordinance.
H. Proximity of proposed establishment to Residential Uses.
Z. Cumulative Effect of proposed establishment and adjacent
pre-existing establishments.
The request would also be reviewed by pertinent City Departments
for additional comments regarding the proposed use. These City
Departments would include the Legal, Finance, Code Compliance,
Building, Parking and Police Departments in addition to the
extensive review done by the Planning, Design and Historic
Preservation Division.
The third proposed Subsection 12C-1 of Ordinance A, entitled
"Appeal of A Determination Regarding the Use of a Property as An
Outdoor Entertainment Establishment, Open Air Entertainment
Establishment or a Neighborhood Impact Establishment" codifies the
appeal process regarding the determination of these types of uses.
Appeals would be to the Zoning Board of Adjustment (BOA) as an
administrative relief process. Appeal of the BOA is already
established to a court of competent jurisdiction.
The next five sections of the amending Ordinance A add the newly
defined terms Outdoor Entertainment Establishment, Open Air
Entertainment Establishment and Neighborhood Impact Establishment
to the conditional use category of the CD-i, CD-2, CD-3 , I-1 and
MXE zoning district regulations.
The last sections of the amendment provide for inclusion in the
Zoning Ordinance with an effective date.
ANALYSIS OF ORDINANCE B - (AS AMENDED, 10\11\95)
What follows is an analysis of each section of this proposed
amending Ordinance B.
Section 1.
This section of Ordinance B, deletes old language in the RM-1
Residential Multi Family Low Intensity district by specifically
deleting the reference to "Uses that serve Alcoholic Beverages as
PAGE 7 OF 9
listed in Section 12 (Alcoholic Beverages) " under the Main
Permitted Uses section. This reference is an error that was
created by mistake at the inception of the Zoning Ordinance in
October of 1989 and is being removed since the RM-1 district is
strictly for residential development and does not allow commercial
eating and drinking establishments as main or accessory uses.
Section 2 .
This section of Ordinance B also deletes current language in the
RM-2 Residential Multi Family Medium Intensity district by deleting
specifically the reference to "Uses that serve Alcoholic Beverages
as listed in Section 12 (Alcoholic Beverages) " under the Main
Permitted Uses section. This reference is being removed since the
RM-2 district is strictly for residential development and does not
allow commercial eating and drinking establishments as main uses.
The only time an eating or drinking establishment would be allowed
would be as an accessory use to a hotel.
On October 11, 1995 the Commission on first reading revised this
section of the amending ordinance to prohibit outdoor entertainment
establishments and open air entertainment establishments within the
RM-2 districts (previously listed as conditional uses) .
Neighborhood impact establishments would continue to be listed as
conditional uses as originally proposed by the amendment. The
attached amending Ordinance B has been revised to reflect these
changes.
Section 3 .
This section of Ordinance B also deletes existing language in the
RM-3 Residential Multi Family High Intensity district by deleting
specifically the reference to "Uses that serve Alcoholic Beverages
as listed in Section 12 (Alcoholic Beverages) " under the Main
Permitted Uses section. This reference is being removed since the
RM-3 district is strictly for residential main uses and only
permits commercial eating and drinking establishments as accessory
uses. These establishments may be accessory to hotels or apartment
buildings. For that reason, accessory outdoor entertainment
establishments, neighborhood impact establishments and open air
entertainment establishments are also being listed as conditional
uses.
The last sections of the amendment provide for inclusion in the
Zoning Ordinance, repealer, severability and an effective date.
PAGE 8 OF 9
w
CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing, the Administration recommends that the City
Commission adopt on second reading Ordinance A regarding the
creation of Section 12B entitled "Outdoor Entertainment
Establishment" and "Neighborhood Impact Establishment" within
Zoning Ordinance No. 89-2665 and the amended companion Ordinance B
regarding the regulation of these same types of establishments as
prohibited and\or accessory uses within the RM-2 and RM-3
Residential Multi Family zoning districts.
