Edelcup, Vice Mayor The Honorable Gerry Goodman, Commissioner The Honorable Daniel Iglesias, Commissioner The Honorable Lila Kauffman, Commissioner Lynn M. Dannheisser, City Attorney;jt0i) May 15, 2003 Ordinance Amending Section 703.8.4 (m) of The Land Development Regulations and Resolution of the LP A recommending the matter to the City Commission for consideration per Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes. In attempting to apply Section 703.8.4 (m) of the Land Development Regulations, it became clear to staff that there were several ambiguities and provisions in this section that made no logical sense. Accordingly, I listened to the tapes of the meetings at which this section was proposed by Commissioner Iglesias. First, it was unclear whether, except for the sponsor of the section, anyone else (including staff) understood what a VB zone was; second, the wording utilized in the section did not comport with what was explained to me as the intention of the sponsor, and third, a material representation was made as to the small number of properties which would be affected by waiving setback requirements in the VE zone that Calvin Giordano, through the GIS system, later detennined was in error, i.e., since virtually all ocean front lot~ are within the VE zone, allowing no setbacks because of a parking structure being partially located within the VE zone, could possibly result in the elimination of side and rear setbacks for every property on the ocean which met the other provisions of this section. Accordingly, to be clear, this amendment hopefully now states with clarity and no ambiguity the original intention of the sponsor and also corrects any mistakes. The sponsor may wish to further amend, but I have undertaken only the task of clarifying the wording. (The Commission has the task of setting the policy, one way or the other). The section now provides that for parking structures which fall within a VE zone (which is a flood plain area and which FEMA has issued certain requirements which relate to building materials and construction methodologies), those structures Agenda Item ~__ Date 5-]5-03
