COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the Ordinance on
second reading,
OVERVIEW
The City Administration has recognized that the character and quality of the neighborhoods
fronting West Avenue is diminishing as a result of infill development which does not reflect
the existing cohesive low scale character of the area, Consequently, the Planning
Department has identified planning strategies toward a Master Plan for the Bay Front
neighborhoods that will create incentives to property owners and developers to maintain
existing low scale structures in the area.
At its October 30, 2001 meeting, The Planning Board reviewed the West Avenue Bay Front
District Master Plan Strategies and recommended the strategies be brought forward to the
community to elicit further review and comment through a City sponsored community
meeting.
Commission Memorandum

Second Reading - Public Hearing
Page 2
Following the Community Meeting of December 12, 2001, planning staff compiled the
meeting results for each of the master plan strategies and prepared a staff report outlining
the recommended actions to be taken with regard to implementation, In particular, those
strategies pertaining to Land Use Overlay Districts and the concept of providing legal
parking within the required front yard setback were identified as priorities. Staff then
requested to pursue those strategies first since the process by which they are adopted
could be effectively implemented through the Planning Department staffs coordination with
the appropriate Land Use Board and City Commission.
Subsequently, at its January 22, 2002 meeting, the Planning Board affirmed staffs request
to prepare Land Development Regulations that would provide for the creation of a land use
overlay area within the West Avenue Bay Front District for which the following proposed
amendments apply: .
Proposed Amendments
Section 142-842: Location and Purpose. This section briefly defines the overlay area as
it applies to the existing low scale properties in the underlying RM-1 and RM-2 zoning
districts fronting West Avenue.
Section 142-843: Compliance with Reaulations, This section describes the creation of
specific criteria requirements necessary to allow additional main permitted uses in the area.
Section 142-844: Residential Office Overlav Area. This section outlines the criteria
required to operate a Residential Office in the overlay area and is drafted to accommodate
the substantial rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of existing single family and multi family
residential structures no more than three (3) stories in height.
Section 142-845: Suites Hotel and Bed and Breakfast Inn Overlav Area, This section
outlines the criteria required to operate a Suites Hotel and! or Bed and Breakfast Inn in the
overlay area and is drafted to accommodate the substantial rehabilitation and adaptive
reuse of existing single family and! or multi family residential structures no more than three
(3) stories in height. Entertainment establishments and neighborhood impact
establishments are prohibited in the overlay area,
Section 142-846: Off-Street Parkina Reaulations, This section outlines the criteria
required to permit a limited number of off-street parking spaces in the required front yard
setback of existing single-family and multi-family structures in the overlay area.
