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

and any facilities contained therein, shall not be calculated in the building's FAR or shall not have
any setback requirements (it can be built lot line to lot line) if a garage portion that exceeds 20'
above grade is located behind the building setback.
The sponsor of this section can explain the rationale but the words are at least clear and may now be
applied without ambiguity or confusion once the Commission votes on this matter.
