FROM: Sergio Rodriguez City Manager j SUBJECT: Second R• • •i g - An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach,Florida Amending the Code of the City of Miami Beach, Florida,Amending Chapter 142 Entitled "Zoning Districts and Regulations", Section 142-696 Entitled "Residential Performance Standard Area Requirements" By Limiting the Provision Allowing Higher Maximum Building Heights for Lot Aggregation Within the Ocean Beach Historic District; Providing for Inclusion in the Code of the City of Miami Beach, Florida; Repealer; Severability; and an Effective Date. RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends that the City Commission, upon second reading public hearing, adopt the proposed amending Ordinance. BACKGROUND At the City Commission meeting of September 23, 1998,the consideration of an amendment to the Land Development Regulations (LDR s) of the City Code which would amend the height restrictions of the residential performance standards for the R-PS1 through R-PS4 zoning districts was referred to the Planning Board at the request of Commissioner Simon Cruz. The Planning Department acknowledges Mr. Frank Del Vecchio as originally putting forward this proposal in correspondence to the Planning Board and the Department. The amendment as originally proposed could not be approved as to form by the City Attorney's Office, which had reservations regarding the clarity and enforceability of the proposed language. Therefore, the ordinance was revised by the City Attorney's Office, and subsequently form approved; the intent and result of the revised ordinance remained substantially the same. On November 17, 1998, the Planning Board voted 5-0 to recommend approval of the revised ordinance. At its December 16, 1998 meeting, the City Commission voted 6-0 to approve the revised version of the proposed ordinance on first reading. At its January 20, 1999 meeting, the Commission voted to defer the matter until today in order to have the Planning Department prepare a history of zoning changes in the South Pointe area over the last several years. That analysis has subsequently been prepared and is attached, hereto (see Attachment "A"). Q R AGENDA ITEM \ U DATE --Z`e3-99 ANALYSIS Under the current ordinance,maximum building height for development in the R-PS1, R-PS2, R- PS3 and R-PS4 residential zoning districts, which are located within the South Pointe redevelopment area, is 35 feet for lots 50 feet wide or less. Lots of greater width are allowed greater building height. The intention of this provision is to prevent buildings of an unsuitable height for narrow lots. Generally,platted lots in these residential areas are 50 feet wide. Therefore,the Land Development Regulations limits development on these lots to 35 feet in height. However, under the current regulations, if a vacant 50 foot wide lot were to be aggregated with an adjacent lot containing an existing building, a building higher than 35 feet could be constructed upon the vacant, 50 foot wide portion of the lot aggregation. The height of new buildings developed in such a manner may be inconsistent with the built pattern of the surrounding Ocean Beach Historic District. This would especially be the case if the existing building on such an aggregated lot was of a historic nature,and not qualified for a certificate of appropriateness for demolition. The proposed amending ordinance would insert a provision into the height regulations for the R- PS 1, R-PS2, R-PS3 and R-PS4 zoning districts preventing the above described height bonus for lot aggregation in the Ocean Beach Historic District. The provision states that lots 50'wide or less would not qualify for the greater building height permitted for lots greater than 50' in width, if the greater lot width is obtained by aggregating lot width for lots which contain a contributing building which has not been issued a Certificate of Appropriateness for Demolition. In this way, it is hoped that development of buildings of a height appropriate to the surrounding area and adjacent contributing buildings within the Ocean Beach Historic District can be assured. CONCLUSION By limiting the bonus for maximum height for aggregated lots in the Ocean Beach Historic District, the proposed ordinance would help to discourage the aggregation of lots containing historic buildings for the purposes of achieving a higher allowable maximum building height. Based on the foregoing analysis,the Administration recommends that the Commission adopt, upon second reading public hearing, the proposed amending ordinance to Section 142-696 of the Code of the City of Miami Beach, Florida. SR \ RL rl T:\AGENDA\1999\FEB0399\REGULAR\1373CMM2.REV ATTACHMENT "A" History of Zoning Changes for the R-PS Zoning Districts in the South Pointe Redevelopment Area 1976 The original Redevelopment Plan for the South Shore area did not contain maximum height and Floor Area Ratio (FAR)limitations, but rather consisted of regulations bearing very little similarity to today's Land Development Regulations. This master plan, containing plans for canals crossing the South Pointe area, only allowed development that conformed to the special requirements of the plan. 1982-1983 The City abandoned the 1976 Redevelopment Plan in 1982, and subsequently established the Interim Development District in 1983. According to these zoning regulations, there were no height restrictions in place, and FARs ranged from 1.52 to 2.0 for the zoning district roughly analogous to R-PS1 and R-PS2, and 3.0 for the zoning district roughly analogous to R-PS3 and R-PS4. 1984 In 1984 Ordinance 84-2439 created the Performance Standards (PS) zoning districts as we know them today, in response to the new South Shore Revitalization Strategy master plan. For the R-PS 1, R-PS2 and R-PS3 districts, the height limits were set at 30, 40 and 60 feet respectively for properties under 40,000 square feet in area, and 60, 60 and 80 feet respectively for properties over 40,000 square feet. There was no height limit for the R-PS 4 district. Also note that these height limits excluded enclosed parking, meaning that the actual heights of buildings could be several stories higher, if constructed over a parking garage. FAR's ranged from 1.3 to 2.0 for the four R-PS zoning districts. 1989 The 1989 Zoning Ordinance, 89-2665, eliminated all height limitations on the properties in the R-PS zoning districts in the attempt to address building size through FAR restrictions alone, thereby encouraging redevelopment at a faster rate. FAR's ranged from 1.5 to 2.25 for the four R-PS zoning districts. 1994 By 1994 the City's thinking regarding the lack of height restrictions had changed, and in February 1994 the Zoning Ordinance was changed to once again set height restrictions on these properties. The height limitations were based on lot width, with properties wider than 50 feet having a higher height limit than properties of 50 feet or less in width, which were limited to building heights of 35 feet. For properties wider than 50 feet, heights were set at 45, 45, 60 and 80 feet for the R-PS 1, R-PS2,R-PS 3 and R-PS4 districts respectively. Oceanfront properties in the R-PS4 district were limited to a height of 100 feet. FARs did not change. This ordinance change also eliminated the minimum width requirement of 100 feet and amended the setbacks which allowed infill construction to be more compatible with the existing built character. History of Zoning Changes for the R-PS Zoning Districts Page 2 1997 The amendment to the Zoning Ordinance adopted in October of 1997 did not affect building heights, but eliminated bonuses for Floor Area Ratio (FAR). The effect of the elimination of bonuses was a slight reduction in allowable FAR in each of the R-PS districts. The FAR for the each of the R-PS districts reduced by 0.25; R-PS1 went from 1.5 to 1.25, R-PS2 went from 1.75 to 1.5, R-PS3 went from 2.0 to 1.75, and R-PS4 went from 2.25 to 2.0, and these FARs remain in force today. 1998 The changes made to the Zoning Ordinance in November 1998 did not greatly affect the height limitations in the R-PS districts. Only the R-PS3 district was changed, going from a height limitation of 60 feet to a maximum height of 50 feet, for properties over 50 feet in lot width. For single lots, all districts remained at 35 feet in height. Maximum FAR for all R-PS districts remained unchanged. However, changes to the zoning map made concurrently with the changes in heights, did affect the area, with an area previously zoned R-PS4 along the west side of Ocean Drive from 1st Street to 5th Street being rezoned to R-PS3. This effectively reduced the top maximum heights for this limited area from 80 feet to 50 feet Summary While this history indicates that zoning regulations have been frequently changed for the Redevelopment Area, since the 1994 changes which re-imposed height limitation on the R-PS zoning districts,the actual amount of reduction in allowable height and FAR has been limited.

(305) 672-0807 March 30 , 1998 Dean Grandin Director , Planning and Zoning 1700 Convention Center Drive Miami Beach, FL 33139 SUBJ : Recommendation for a Zoning Ordinance Amendment to Correct an Anomaly that Would Allow Increased Heights on Lots in the Ocean Beach Historic District through Width Aggregation with a Lot on Which a Contributing Building Exists Dear Mr. Grandin: I recommend that you consider a zoning ordinance amendment , (drafted below) , that would correct an unintended anomaly which would result from aggregating lot widths in residential subdistricts in the Ocean Beach Historic District . Under the current ordinance, maximum building height for development in residential subdistricts R-PS1 , 2, 3 and 4 , is 35 ' for lots 50 ' wide or less . Lots of greater width are allowed greater building height . The logic for such a provision is that higher buildings are not suitable for the narrower lots . The customary platted lot width in these residential districts in the Ocean Beach Historic District is 50 feet. New development on these lots is limited to 35 ' height . However, under the current ordinance, if a vacant lot of 50 ' width were to be aggregated with an adjacent lot improved with a building that could not be demolished because it could not meet historic district demolition criteria, the new construction height could be increased, even though for all practical purposes, the buildable lot was only 50 ' in width. Put differently -- under the current literal provisions of the zoning ordinance, development could take place indirectly, that would not be permitted directly. A developer, knowing that development on a vacant lot would be limited to 35 ' , could aggregate the lot with an adjacent lot containing a historic or contributing building, or a building that would not otherwise meet the criteria for historic district demolition, and with maximum height now technically raised via the aggregated lot width, construct a taller building on the very same narrow lot that , without width aggregation, would be limited to a lower development height . In such a case, the contributing building on the aggregated lot would become adjacent to a structure that 2 could be several times its height . If width aggregation height increases were not extended in such cases , the height of new construction on the adjoining lots , (at 35 ' ) , would be more in keeping with the distinctive characteristics of the eleven architectural styles that form the basis for the District ' s historic designation. ° This anomaly can be corrected with a provision, ( suggested language, below) , specifying that a greater height is not permitted if the greater lot width is obtained by aggregating lots which contain a building that does not meet the historic district demolition criteria. (No legal restriction, of course, would be imposed on a developer wishing to aggregate lots, but the combination of a vacant 50 ' width lot with a lot containing a building that could not be demolished, would not entitle the developer to construct a taller building on the vacant lot of 50 ' width simply through a technical aggregation of widths . ) Suggested amendment : Renumber the current footnote, line 6 , to a double asterisk. Insert a footnote (single * ) , to Section 20-4 B. , Table of Residential Performance Standards, R-PS1 , R-PS2 , R-PS3, R-PS4 , line 4, following the words "Maximum 9uilding Height" ; and at the bottom of the table, the footnote: "* Except that, within the Ocean Beach Historic District, for purposes of maximum building height, lots 50 ' wide or less shall not qualify for the greater building height permitted for lots greater than 50 ' in width, if the greater lot width is obtained by aggregating lot width for lots which contain one or more buildings which do not meet the criteria for granting a Certificate of Appropriateness for Demolition, as listed in Section 19-6 C.6.d of this Ordinance.

Del Vecchio cc : Members of the Planning Board SP.014, 3-30-98 August 23 , 1998 MEMORANDUM FOR: Mel Sct ester, Chairman, Planning Board FROM: Frank Del Vecchio, 301 Ocean Drive , Apt . 604 , Mi mi ach, FL 33139 , tel . 305-672-2486 , fax . 305-672-0807 SUBJ : Request that the Planning Board consider an amendment to the zoning ordinance to correct a height anomaly in the Ocean Beach Historic District Enclosed is a copy of my March 30 , 1998 letter to Dean Grandin making this request . I am sure that with the Planning Board ' s full agenda over the past several months , there has been little opportunity to review what might be considered a technical amendment . Now may be an appropriate time to consider this -- especially because of its importance to historic district objectives . In the Ocean Beach Historic District , for smaller lots ( i . e . those of 50 foot or less width) , the maximum permitted height is 35 feet . The logic for such a provision is that higher buildings are not suitable for the narrower lots in the district . The anomaly is that if a vacant 50 foot lot is assembled with an adjacent lot on which a protected building is situated (e .g. , a "Contributing Building" ) , which cannot qualify for a certificate of appropriateness for demolition, by the simple land assembly, the zoning ordinance, as now worded, would permit the construction of a much higher building on the vacant 50 foot wide lot . ( In the RPS zones in the Historic District , higher building heights are permitted for lots greater than 50 feet in width. ) Thus, presently, the development of structures inconsistent with the context of predominantly lower height buildings on 50 foot wide lots within the Historic District, could occur indirectly, where it would be prohibited directly. I have carefully drafted language that would remove that anomaly, without reducing the FAR. As drafted, in the case of the assembly of a developable 50 foot-wide lot with an adjacent lot on which there is a building which does not meet the criterion for Historic District demolition, the height limitation for the development of the vacant lot would remain at 35 feet, versus the higher height that would be permitted by the current lot width aggregation anomaly of the ordinance. The developer would not be denied the aggegate FAR to which he is entitled under the ordinance -- but would be prevented from developing a building much higher than context . I request that the Planning Board consider adopting such a proposed amendment, for recommendation to the City Commission.
