Providing for Inclusion in the Zoning Ordinance; Providing for Repealer,

RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission, upon holding a public hearing, adopt
on second reading this amendment regarding the regulation of outdoor bar counters, along with the
regulations for Outdoor Entertainment, Open Air Entertainment and Neighborhood Impact
Establishments in the Performance Standards Districts within the South Pointe Redevelopment Area.
BACKGROUND
The subject amendment,regarding outdoor bar counters was part of a previous proposed amending
ordinance heard by the Commission that also addressed the issues of the MXE regulations and
citywide height restrictions. On January 24, 1996 the City Commission instructed staff to bifurcate
that amendment into two individual amendments in order to address the items separately and
remanded the amendments back to the Planning Board for further review and study.
The outdoor bar regulations were the topic of discussion at a workshop held by the Planning Board
on August 2, 1995 and a public hearing on October 24, 1995. At that workshop, the original
amending ordinance was substantially changed to address outdoor bar counters on a citywide basis,
not just within the MXE District.
At the first reading public hearing on December 20, 1995 the Commission requested that the
amendment be reviewed by the Historic Preservation Board, Design Review Board and the South
Pointe Advisory Committee for comments prior to the second reading public hearing that had been
tentatively set for January 24, 1996. Subsequently, due to comments and concerns from these
municipal boards, the Commission remanded the amending ordinance back to the Planning Board
for further study and recommendations regarding the regulations pertaining to outdoor bar counters
on a citywide basis, as well as,within the South Pointe Redevelopment Area. Also, as a condition
of that remandment, the Board was instructed to examine Outdoor Entertainment Establishments,
Open Air Entertainment Establishments and Neighborhood Impact Establishments in the South
Pointe Redevelopment Area. At the March 26, 1996 regular meeting of the Planning Board, the
Board discussed the items at length and thus the new regulations, as set forth, herein. On April 23,
1996 the Planning Board held a public hearing and voted 5-0 (2 absentees) in favor of
recommending adoption of the amending ordinance, as revised.
On June 5, 1996, the City Commission adopted on first reading, with some modifications, the
attached Ordinance (the revised language as modified by the City Commissions concerns appears
as shaded text). The modifications establish a visibility requirement for Accessory Outdoor Bar
3
•
Counters, and a setback requirement when Accessory Outdoor Bar Counters are adjacent to
properties with apartment units.
OVERVIEW
The definitions for outdoor cafe and outdoor bar were included in the original version of the
amendment which prohibited these types of uses in the MXE District only. The attached amendment,
as now modified, expands the regulations to allow these uses as accessory uses only, when
permitted, and with other restrictions as provided,therein. Accessory outdoor bar counters would
be prohibited to operate anywhere in the City between the hours of twelve midnight and 8:00 a.m.,
except in the RM-3, CD-3 and MXE Districts when said outdoor bar counter is an accessory use to
an oceanfront hotel with at least 100 hotel units the time limitation would not be in effect. Also,
within the Cabaret Overlay District in the MXE District(between 9th and 11th on Ocean Drive),the
time constraint would not apply to an accessory outdoor bar counter. However, the regulations
pertaining to the serving or offering for sale of alcoholic beverages as otherwise permitted in outdoor
cafes and restaurants, bars and nightclubs would not be changed by this amending ordinance (see
analysis below).
ANALYSIS
What follows is a section by section analysis of the proposed amending ordinance.
Section 1.
This section of the proposed ordinance clarifies the definition for "Cafe, Outdoor" and provides a
definition for"Bar Counter,Accessory Outdoor",by specifically excluding Accessory Outdoor Bar
Counters as a main permitted use. An outdoor bar counter would only be permitted as an accessory
use to an outdoor cafe,as newly defined,with a minimum of 30 chairs, except when the outdoor bar
counter is associated with a hotel pool deck there would be no minimum seating requirement. The
definition also requires that an Accessory Outdoor Bar Counter shall not be visible from any
property line adjacent to a public right-of-way.
Section 2.
This section of the proposed amendment includes the newly defined "Accessory Out Door Bar
Counter" as a prohibited use in the RM-2 and CD-1 Districts; prohibited use in the RM-3, CD-2,
CD-3, I-1 and MXE Districts except for accessory outdoor bar counters operated between 8:00 a.m.
and 12 midnight. In the RM-3, CD-3 and MXE Districts, the amendment further provides that an
accessory outdoor bar counter would not be restricted by the time limitation (closed between 12
4
•
midnight and 8:00 a.m.) when said use is an accessory use at the rear of oceanfront hotels with at
least 100 hotel units and is setback 20%of the lot width (50 feet minimum) from any property line
adjacent to a property with an apartment unit thereon or in the MXE District when said accessory
use would not be restricted by the time limitation within the Cabaret District(9th to 11th Streets, on
the west side of Ocean Drive). These exceptions do not imply that alcoholic beverages are permitted
to be served\sold 24 hours a day. Section 12 of the Zoning Ordinance further provides that
restaurants,bars and nightclubs cannot serve or offer for sale alcoholic beverages between the hours
of 5:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. Also, the amendment removes Outdoor Entertainment and Open Air
Entertainment Establishments from the Conditional Use Category in the CD-1 District and lists these
uses as prohibited. This change is in keeping with the residential character of the surrounding
residential neighborhoods which could be negatively effected by said outdoor uses.
Section 3.
This section of the amendment provides new regulations concerning the newly defined accessory

to hotels with at least 100 hotel units when operated between 8:00 a.m. and 12 midnight and
permitted in the C-PS1,2,3,4 Districts, provided the use is not operated between the hours of 12
midnight and 8:00 a.m. The amendment further provides that Outdoor Entertainment, Open Air
Entertainment and Neighborhood Impact Establishments would be prohibited in the R-PS 1,2,3

in the RM-PS 1 District(Courts of South Beach).
The last sections of the amendment provide for inclusion in the Zoning Ordinance, repealer,
severability and an effective date.
In reviewing a request for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance or a change in land use, the City
Commission shall consider the following:
1. Whether the proposed change is consistent and compatible with the Comprehensive Plan and
any applicable neighborhood or Redevelopment Plans;
Consistent- The amendment does not contravene any policies within the Comprehensive
Plan, the South Shore Revitalization Strategy, the Ocean Drive\Collins
Avenue Design Strategy Plan or any other Neighborhood Plan.

•
2. Whether the proposed change would create an isolated district unrelated to adjacent or
nearby districts;
Consistent- The amendment would not change the underlying zoning district for any
areas within the City.
3. Whether the change suggested is out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or the City;
Consistent- The amendment is in scale with the overall need of the City to control
outdoor uses that may have a negative effect on neighboring properties unless
properly regulated.
4. Whether the proposed change would tax the existing load on public facilities and
infrastructure;
Consistent- The LOS for the area public facilities and infrastructure should not be
negatively affected, if at all, by the proposed amending ordinance.
5. Whether existing district boundaries are illogically drawn in relation to existing conditions
on the property proposed for change;
Not Applicable - This review criteria is not applicable to this Zoning Ordinance
amendment.
6. Whether changed or changing conditions make the passage of the proposed change
necessary;
Consistent- The operating of outdoor bars, past midnight, as well as outdoor
entertainment activities within the City,has the potential to negatively effect
the surrounding land uses; particularly with regard to the right to expect
peaceful and orderly conduct at said establishments.
7. Whether the proposed change will adversely influence living conditions in the neighborhood;
Consistent- The proposed change should not negatively effect living conditions or the
Quality of Life for the surrounding properties. Indeed,the control of outdoor
bar counters and outdoor entertainment uses should help improve the Quality
of Life for neighboring properties where such uses are permitted; by their
limitation and regulation.

proposed amendment; indeed, values should be protected by the proposed
measures.
11. Whether the proposed change will be a deterrent to the improvement or development of
adjacent property in accordance with existing regulations;
Consistent- The proposed amendment will not change the development regulations for
adjacent sites which must comply with their own site specific development
regulations. Furthermore, the proposed ordinance should not affect the
ability for an adjacent property to be developed in accordance with said
regulations.
12. Whether there are substantial reasons why the property cannot be used in accordance with
existing zoning;
Not Applicable - The proposed amendment does not change the underlying zoning
district for any property.

district already permitting such Use;
Not Applicable - This review criteria is not applicable to this Zoning Ordinance
amendment.
