ORDINANCE NO. 27-98 (PSYCHIC READERS)
DATE:
JULY 31, 1998
This is second reading and the second public hearing for Ordinance
No. 27-98 which amends LDR Section 4.4.9, "General Commercial (GC)
District", to allow 'Astrologists, Clairvoyants, Fortune Tellers,
Palmists, Phrenologists, Psychic Readers, Spiritualists,
Numerologists and Mental Healers' as a permitted use within
certain areas of the GC zone district. It also provides for
location and distance restrictions, and adds 'psychic readers' to
the appropriate classification under the occupational license tax
schedule at Section 110.15 of the City Code.
The use will be permitted along the Federal Highway pairs (N.E.
and S.E. 5th and 6th Avenues) between S.E. 3rd Street and S.E.
10th Street, and between N.E. 4th Street and N.E. 7th Street. It
will not be allowed in the GC-zoned sections of the West Atlantic
Avenue or North Federal Highway redevelopment areas. A distance
separation requirement of 300 feet between uses is included to
avoid a concentration of such uses in the permitted areas.

recommend that it be approved. At first reading on July 21st, the
Commission passed the ordinance by unanimous vote.

MEETING OF JULY 21, 1998
CONSIDERATION OF AN AMENDMENT TO LDR SECTION 4.4.9(B)
GENERAL COMMERCIAL (GC), TO ALLOW ASTROLOGISTS,
CLAIRVOYANTS, FORTUNE TELLERS, PALMISTS, PHRENOLOGISTS,
PSYCHIC READERS, SPIRITUALISTS, NUMEROLOGISTS AND MENTAL
HEALERS AS A PERMITTED USE, AND SECTION 4.4.9(H) (SPECIAL
REGULATIONS) REGARDING GEOGRAPHICAL LIMITATIONS.
The LDR amendment proposes to allow "astrologists, clairvoyants, fortune tellers, pa/mists,
phrenologists, psychic readers, spiritualists, numerologists and mental healers" as a permitted
use in the GC zoning district, subject to Iocational restrictions. These restrictions would not
allow the use in the GC-zoned sections of the West Atlantic or North Federal Highway
redevelopment areas. A distance separation requirement of 300' between uses is proposed, to
avoid a concentration of such uses in the permitted areas. As provided in the attached
amendment, psychic readers, etc. would be permitted within the GC zone along the Federal
Highway pairs (N.E. and S.E. 5th and 6th Avenues), between S.E. 3rd Street and S.E. 10th
Street, and between N.E. 4th Street and N.E. 7th Street. Additional background and an analysis
of the request is found in the attached Planning and Zoning Board staff report. Included in the
attached Ordinance is an amendment to Section 110.15 (License Tax Schedule) of the City
Code to add psychic readers.
The Planning and Zoning Board will formally review this item at its meeting of July 20, 1998.
The Board's recommendation and comments will be presented at the July 21st City
Commission meeting.
By motion, approve on first reading a text amendment to LDR Section 4.4.9 (B) to include
astrologists, clairvoyants, fortune tellers, palmists, phrenologists, psychic readers, spiritualists,
numerologists and mental healers as a permitted use in the GC zone district, and LDR Section
4.4.9(H) to add related restrictions, based upon the findings and recommendations by the
Planning and Zoning Board, and set a public hearing date of August 4, 1998.

AGENDA ITEM:
V.A. AMENDMENT TO LDR SECTION 4.4.9(B)
GENERAL COMMERCIAL (GC), TO ALLOW
ASTROLOGISTS, CLAIRVOYANTS, FORTUNE TELLERS,
PALMISTS, PHRENOLOGISTS, PSYCHIC READERS,
SPIRITUALISTS, NUMEROLOGISTS AND MENTAL
HEALERS AS A PERMITTED USE, AND SECTION
4.4.9(H) (SPECIAL REGULATIONS) REGARDING
GEOGRAPHICAL LIMITATIONS.
The item before the Board is that 'of making a recommendation to the City
Commission regarding amendments to the Land Development
Regulations Section 4.4.9(B) General Commercial (GC), Principal Uses
and Structures Allowed, to allow astrologists, clairvoyants, fortune tellers,
palmists, phrenologists, psychic readers, spiritualists, numerologists and
mental healers as a permitted use, and Section 4.4.9(H) General
Commercial (GC), Special Regulations, regarding geographical
limitations, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(M).
Pursuant to LDR Section 1.1.6, an amendment to the text of the Land
Development Regulations may not be made until a recommendation is
obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board.
In March 1998, a determination of similarity of use was submitted to the Planning and
Zoning Department to allow psychic readings in the CBD (Central Business District)
zoning district. The use is not listed in any of the City's zoning districts. There is
currently a psychic reading establishment (The Psychic Shop) at 904 S.E. 5th Avenue,
in the GC (General Commercial) zone, which has operated since 1993. The request for
the use determination was subsequently withdrawn, however, due to the lack of clarity
in the code regarding the appropriate location for psychic readers and similar types of
operations, staff is forwarding the subject text amendment to the Board for
consideration.
In June, 1998, a second use determination was submitted to allow psychic readers in
the CBD. The applicant was advised of the pending text amendment but elected to
proceed with his request, which is discussed in a separate staff report.
P & Z Board Memorandum Staff Report
LDR Text Amendment - Psychic Readers, Fortune Tellers, etc. as a Permitted Use in the GC
Zoning District
Page 2
LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5) (Findings): In addition to provisions of Section 1.1.6(A),
the City Commission must make a finding that the text amendment is consistent
with and furthers the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan.
The LDR amendment proposes to allow the use "astrologists, clairvoyants, fortune
tellers, palmists, phrenologists, psychic readers, spiritualists, numerologists and mental
healers" as permitted in the GC zoning district, subject to Iocational restrictions. These
restrictions would not allow the use in the GC-zoned sections of the West Atlantic or
North Federal Highway redevelopment areas. There is also a distance separation
requirement proposed of 300' between uses. The proposed distance separation is
intended to avoid a concentration of such uses in the permitted areas. As provided in
the attached amendment, psychic readers, etc. would be permitted within the GC zone
district along the Federal Highway pairs (N.E. and S.E. 5th and 6th Avenues), between
S.E. 3rd Street and S.E. 10th Street, and between N.E. 4th Street and N.E. 7th Street.
The Psychic Shop is located within the proposed geograph!cal area, and will therefore
not be affected by this amendment.
The GC district is the most flexible of the City's business/commercial zones. It allows a
broad range of permitted and conditional uses, and imposes very little in the way of
development standards (i.e. minimum site size, building size, etc.). It is primarily
located along high volume arterial roadways. As part of the research conducted for this
amendment, a number of municipalities in the area were contacted including Lake
Worth, Boca Raton, Riviera Beach, West Palm Beach, Palm Beach County, and Ft.
Lauderdale, regarding zoning districts in which they allow psychic readers, spiritualists,
etc. The majority permit the use in their general commercial districts.
Other commercial districts were considered by staff during the preparation of the
amendment but were subsequently rejected. The PC (Planned Commercial) zone
allows many of the same uses as the GC district, however, it is intended to be applied
to large sites which are to be developed in a coordinated, well-planned fashion, and
which generally involve much larger tenants than the typical psychic reading business.
The NC (Neighborhood Commercial) district is intended primarily to provide locations
for limited goods and services to be made available to adjacent residential areas as a
convenience. Psychic readings is a very specialized service which would tend to draw
clients from a citywide or regional area.
In terms of the Iocational restrictions provided in the amendment, which would exclude
the use from the redevelopment areas, the basis is provided in the applicable
Comprehensive Plan policies for those areas (Future Land Use Element Policy C-1.4
for North Federal Highway and C-1.5 for West Atlantic Avenue). Policy C-1.5 refers to
P & Z Board Memorandum Staff Report
LDR Text Amendment - Psychic Readers, Fortune Tellers, etc. as a Permitted Use in the GC
Zoning District
Page 3
the West Atlantic Avenue Redevelopment Plan, which was adopted by the City
Commission on July 11, 1995. Subsequent to its adoption, LDR amendments were
processed which prohibited many of the GC uses that were allowed elsewhere from
being established in the redevelopment area. While the plan for North Federal Highway
has not yet been adopted, the applicable Comprehensive Plan policy states that it will
address economic stimulation and revitalization of the area, and "the elimination of
inappropriate and marginal uses". Similarly, the Comprehensive Plan policies regarding
the City's Central Business District (CBD) refer to the need to have an appropriate mix
of uses as part of an economic development strategy. The types of businesses desired
for these areas are those which will generate significant job growth and pedestrian
traffic, and which will complement other uses within the area (i.e. restaurants, retail,
office).
Courtesy Notices:
A special courtesy notices was provided to the following civic and homeowner's
associations:
Beach Properties Association
· Chamber of Commerce
· Delray Merchants Association
· Progressive Residents of Delray (PROD)
· President's Council
Letters of objection and support, if any, will be presented at the Planning and Zoning
Board meeting.
The proposed text amendment will specifically list astrologists, clairvoyants, fortune
tellers, palmists, phrenologists, psychic readers, spirftualists, numerologists and mental
healers as permitted uses in the GC zoning district. Special regulations are proposed
within the GC zoning district to limit the uses to certain geographical areas, and
limitations are proposed to prevent large concentrations of the use within the
designated areas.

Section 4.4.9(B) General Commercial (GC), Principal Uses and Structures Allowed to
allow astrologists, clairvoyants, fortune tellers, palmists, phrenologists, psychic readers,
spiritualists, numerologists and mental healers as a permitted use, and LDR Section
4.4.9(H) General Commercial (GC), Special Regulations, to provide Iocational
restrictions, based upon positive findings with LDR Section 2.4.5(M).
