IX49i' <br />Memo <br />To: The City Commission <br />From: Michael S. Berkman, Building Official <br />Subject: Request for Zoning Moratorium waiver <br />R.K. Associates Shopping Center <br />Date: October 27, 1998 <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the City Commission grant the requested waiver. <br />REASONS <br />After reviewing the above referenced request, staff has concluded that the grant of a waiver, which <br />would permit the consideration of building and zoning approvals and a development order for a free <br />standing restaurant upon an existing shopping center out -parcel, would not contravene the purpose <br />of the moratorium ordinance and will not materially reduce the existing capacity of public services. <br />There is virtually no possibility of a comprehensive plan objective or policy which would seek to <br />change the character of a long established extensive commercial area on the west side of Collins <br />avenue. Even if such a goal were anticipated, it would not be achievable within the anticipated <br />lifetime of the plan. The impacts to planned levels of service by commercial uses in this district have <br />already been anticipated by the current plan. As they are already accounted for by the plan, no <br />adverse impacts to planned levels of service can result from a single use free standing commercial <br />structure. This is not a recommendation regarding the substance of any zoning request, but <br />merely a recommendation that the Commission grant a waiver of the moratorium in this <br />specific instance so that the applicant's zoning request may be considered by the Citv at a later <br />date. <br />A <br />tful submitted, <br />Michael S. Berkman, Building Official <br />
