ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the Ordinance.
ANALYSIS
The request to change the Land Development Regulations for GC Golf Course distdct was
made pursuant to an application filed by La Gorce Country Club for consideration by the
Planning Board. This district is designed to accommodate golf courses on private property,
and La Gorce Golf Course is the only one in the City of Miami Beach that meets this district
purpose.
The La Gorce Country Club obtained Design Review approval for the replacement of the
demolished clubhouse at the December 18, 2001 Design Review Board meeting. The
Commission Memorandum - May 8, 2002
Second Reading Public Hearing - La Gorce Golf Course
Page 2 of 7
plans depict the new clubhouse and the retention of the tennis courts and the surface
parking lots. The Design Review Board, as a condition of approval of the construction of
the new clubhouse, required that the structure that may be built to store the garden debris
also have a setback of 170 feet from any property line.
The Planning Board, in its deliberations during the public hearing on February 26, 2002,
made several amendments to the ordinance being proposed by the applicant. The
following section reflects the recommendation made by the Planning Board, the proposal
by the applicant as modified since the Planning Board hearing, and the Administration's
suggested changes.
Proposed Amendments
Section 142-392. Main permitted uses. This section clarifies the main permitted uses
including a definition of clubhouse use.
The main permitted uses in the GC golf course district are golf courses, tennis courts,
clubhouses, and those uses normally associated with a golf course, provided that all such
uses are under a unified ownership and operation.
For purposes of this section, clubhouse shall mean one or more buildings owned and
operated bv a private golf club that house administrative offices, fitness rooms, locker
rooms, lounges, restaurants, banquet facilities, pro shops and/or other facilities designed
for the use of the club's members and their guests. A clubhouse buildin.q shall be utilized
primarilV for the benefit of the private .qolf club's members and its facilities shall not be
rented, leased or made available to the general public.
The applicant's proposal, the Planning Board's and the Administration's recommended
ordinances are in agreement with respect to this section.
At the April 10, 2002 Commission Meeting, the Commission accepted this amendment.
Sec. 142-395. Development Regulations. This section changes the building area by
establishing a floor area ratio where one does not exist, and reduces the number of stories
from 3 to 2 and establishes a definition for buffering materials.
There are no floor area ratio, lot area, lot width, unit area or unit size requirements in
the GC Zoning District. Building height, story, and floor area ratio requirements are as
follows:
Maximum Building Height is 42 feet, except that 1400 square feet of the
footprint may exceed 42 feet up to 50 feet with the location of the added
heiqht to be at the center of the clubhouse, inclusive of all allowed
extensions, parapets and similar design elements.
Commission Memorandum - May 8, 2002
Second Reading Public Hearing - La Gorce Golf Course
Page 3 of 7
The applicant requested that the height of 50 feet be for an area of 2500
square feet of floor area. The Planning Board requested that the total height
of the building at 50 feet be limited to an area of the footprint of the building
which is reflective of the domed area generally located at the center of the
clubhouse.
2. Maximum Number of Stories 3 2_.
The Planning Board requested the number of stories be changed to two in
order to restrict the total number of stories being proposed with the new
design of the clubhouse.
The applicant's, the Planning Board's and the Administration's versions are in agreement
with respect to section 1 and 2 above.
At the April 10, 2002 Commission meeting, the Commission accepted this amendment.
3. Maximum Floor Area Ratio is .015
The existing City Code does not include an FAR in the GC Golf Course
zoning District. The LaGorce Golf Course property is approximately 138.37
acres, or 6,027,397 square feet. The applicant proposed to the Planning
Board an FAR of .02. This proposal would allow approximately 120,200
square feet of construction on this property, and with the proposed
clubhouse occupying an area of approximately 45,000 square feet, the
Planning Board believed that the remaining 75,200 square feet of additional
construction would be excessive. The Planning Board recommended that the
FAR be reduced to .015, this represents approximately 90,410 square feet of
total building area.
The applicant proposed an FAR of .0175, which would allow approximately
105,480 square feet of total construction. After subtracting the proposed
building area of the clubhouse, approximately 60,480 square feet of
additional construction remains.
The Administration believes that some flexibility in the total potential floor
area is needed in order for the golf course to function properly. To this end,
it is recommended that the maximum total construction be limited to 100,000
square feet. This is equivalent to an FAR of .0166.
Both the applicant and the Commission accepted the Administration's recommendation.
Any bufferin.cl material located beh nd any sinfile-family residence shall be of
living plant material, shall not be fenced in and such livin.cl plant material shall
Commission Memorandum - May 8, 2002
Second Reading Public Hearfng - La Gorce Golf Course
Page 4 of 7
not exceed five feet in hei.clht.
There were a lot of concerns expressed at the public hearing relative to
fence material, thus the Planning Board decided to only allow living plant
material when located behind single-family homes.
The applicant's alternative ordinance eliminated this section. This would
allow the existing section of the Code dealing with fences to be applicable in
the GC district.
The Administration recommended that a fencing material, in addition to living
plant material be permitted. A transparent fence, i.e. metal picket or
chainlink, would allow a view through the golf course, while at the same time,
affording the property owner to secure the property. In this regard, the
Administration recommended that a fence, no higher than five (5) feet, and
constructed of a non-opaque material (metal picket, chainlink, etc.) be
permitted. It should be noted that chainlink fences are prohibited by the City
Code when facing a right of way.
At the April 10, 2002 Commission public headng, the Commission suggested
that a fence may be allowed only on the street-ends, or facing a street, or on
areas not abutting single family homes. The Commission also suggested
that the adjoining property owner may waive this restriction. They also
suggested that the fence height shall be as prescribed in the Code and that
when located within the 75-foot setback, plant material shall not act as a
solid barrier.
Sec. 142-396. Setback requirements. This section increases the setbacks from a public
right-of-way from 170 feet to 200 feet, except for the existing at-grade parking lots;
establishes the setback for at-grade parking lots to 10 feet from the public right-of-way and
adjacent properties; and establishes the setback for any maintenance facility and for any
trash/garden debris collection site to 170 feet from surrounding properties.
The setback requirements in the GC golf course district would be as follows:
(1) Any yard adjacent to a public right-of-way: 170 feet. 200 feet, except for
at-grade parking lots.
The applicant proposed that the 200 ft. setback only apply to the clubhouse
and not to the location of the existing at-grade parking lots, the existing
tennis pro shop, or to the pool and accessory structures surrounding the
pool. In this regard, the applicant suggested the following language:
(2) Any yard adjacent to Alton Road a public right of way: 170 feot. 200
, , 4
Commission Memorandum - May 8, 2002
Second Reading Public Hearing - La Gorce Golf Course
Page 5 of 7
feet, except for at-grade parking lots and other one-story ancillary
structures not to exceed 20 feet in hei.clht and 2,000 square feet in
floor area. The foregoing ancillary structures shall be setback at
least 125 feet.
Since the areas referenced above front Alton Road and not the rear yards of
single family residences, the Administration believes this change will not
have a detrimental impact on the single family homes. The Commission
accepted this amendment.
(3) All other yards: SO Yards abutting single family homes: 100 feet from the
rear property line of any single-family residence abutting the golf course
property. There shall be no structures, including restroom facilities or rest
stations, new parking lots, or roads, excluding golf cart paths, within this
setback area, except that the existing comfort station within this buffer
zone may remain and may be re-constructed, repaired and/or
rehabilitated. Any new structures that may be proposed in the future shall
not exceed 2000 square feet.
All other yards: The setback shall be 170 feet from the rear property line
of any abutting single family home.
The aggre.clate of any new accesson/structures that may be proposed in
the future and which are not adjacent to the clubhouse area shall not
exceed 20,000 sguare feet.
The applicant had originally proposed a buffer zone of 50 feet. Because
of concerns expressed by the people attending the public hearing, the
Planning Board believed that as an added safeguard, creating a buffer
zone was rational and good planning. The Board, therefore, added that
within an area of 100 feet from the rear lot line of single family homes
abutting the golf course, no structures could be built, except that the
existing comfort station could be re-constructed at its present location.
At the April 10, 2002 Commission meeting, the applicant offered a
compromise changing the setback to 75 feet from any single-family rear
yard fronting on the golf course property. This alternative setback is the
mid-point between the 50 feet originally proposed by the applicant and
the Planning Board's version of 100 feet. The applicant also requested to
include as permitted encroachments, the maintenance roads that are
existing.
In this regard, not all the property lines abutting the golf course are "rear,"
Commission Memorandum - May 8, 2002
Second Reading Public Hearing - La Gorce Golf Course
Page 6 of 7
therefore, the Administration requested that where it reads 'rear property
line' or 'rear yard' when referring to single-family properties abutting the
golf course property, that it be changed to 'property line' or 'any yard,' as
it may be appropriate. The Administration also recommended that
reviews go through the design review process, which the City Code
defines and clarifies what would be the purview of the Design Review
Board and staff. The Commission accepted these changes.
(4) At-grade parking lots: fifty (50) feet from the rear lot line and ten feet from
the side lot line of any abutting single familv home, except that existing
parking lots shall be set back ten (10) feet from a public rights-of-way and
from adjacent properties. The design of the parking lot shall be reviewed
in accordance with the re.clulations set forth in Sections 130-61 through
130-67.
The applicant had proposed that existing parking lots would have a
setback of 10 feet, but that any future parking lots would have a setback
of 50 feet. The Board added language to this section in order to ensure
that if something happened to the existing parking lots where they would
have to be re-built, then any future parking lots would have a larger
setback from the single family homes.
(5)
Any and all storage facilities, dumpin.q sites, waste service facility and
fuel stora.cle tanks shall be located at a site within the principal
maintenance area, or another site central to the .qolf course, separated a
minimum of 170 feet from, and screened from, surrounding residential
properties, in a location and manner to be reviewed and approved by the
Design Review Board.
See comments in (2) above.
(6) Garbage and trash (garden debris) pick up shall occur between the hours
of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday only.
The Planning Board added this section to ensure the peace and
tranquility of the surrounding neighborhood.
The applicant proposed to change this section to permit the pick up of
garbage and trash between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. seven
days a week and that the pick up of vegetative debris be from 7:00 a.m.
to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
The Administration recommended that pick up of garbage, trash and
vegetative debris be between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. seven
Commission Memorandum - May 8, 2002
Second Reading Public Hearing - La Gorce Golf Course
Page 7 of 7
days a week from the main access point on Alton Road. All other access
points shall be restricted to pick up from 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday
through Saturday only.
The Commission accepted the Administration recommendation.
Section 142-396.1. Noise Regulations. This is a new section added to the City Code
whereby a noise control mechanism is established.
At all times, all noise emanatinfi from the clubhouse or accessory structures that is
unreasonably loud shall be contained within the prepertV lines of the golf course property.
An unreasonably loud noise is defined as a noise that is plainly audible and which
interferes with normal conversation.
The alternative ordinance proposed by the applicant does not change the language in the
Planning Board recommendation.
Planning Board Action
The Planning Board held a public hearing on February 26, 2002 and voted 6-0 (1 absent)
to recommend to the City Commission approval of the proposed ordinance, as amended by
the Board.
City Commission Action
At the April 10, 2002 meeting, the City Commission approved unanimously (7-0) a modified
ordinance (as noted in this report), and set a second reading public hearing for May 8,
2002.
CONCLUSION
Based on the foregoing, the Administration made modifications as requested by the
Commission and consented by the applicant, and recommends that the City Commission
adopt the ordinance as revised.
The second reading public hearing required notice shall be published at least five days
prior to the public hearing.
