Home My WebLink AboutPB 20050823CITY OF MIAMI BEACH Planning Department PLANNING BOARD After-Action Report August 23, 2005 Discussion of Planning Issues Workshop – Revisions to the Single-family development regulations. After discussing the Planning Department’s presentation, the Board requested that an ordinance be presented at a public hearing for comment. The Board discussed the following points: • Lot coverage needs to be further broken down by category, such as. <10,000 sq. ft; 10,000 to 25,000 sq. ft.; > 25,000 sq. ft. • For lots larger than 25,000 sq. ft., 30% lot coverage is too permissive – look at 25% or less for a 2-story home. • Same differential should be made for side yard setbacks for larger lots; tiering and different regulations for big lots and larger side yard setbacks; side yard setbacks need more study. • Height for one-story homes either from flood or grade needs more study. • Height restrictions exceptions for elevator shafts and stair wells need to be addressed; further study of parapet wall heights is also necessary. • The requirement that garages be non-airconditioned to qualify for exemption of lot coverage should be re-studied; other measures may be implemented to ensure the 400 sq. ft. garage is not used as living area.
