WHEREAS, pursuant to LDR Section 1.1.6, the Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the proposed
text amendment at a public hearing held on February 28, 2011 and voted 5 to 0 to recommend that the changes
be approved; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Florida Statute 163.3174(4)(c), the Planning and Zoning Board, sitting as the
Local Planning Agency, has determined that the change is consistent with and furthers the goals, objectives and
policies of the Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach adopts the findings in the Planning and
Zoning Staff Report; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach finds the ordinance is consistent with the
Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, held in United Stater v.
City of Boca Katon, that, "Out of the nine licensed service provider components, only three of them-the intensive
inpatient treatment facilities, the Residential Treatment Facility, and the Day and Night Treatment Facilities-
appear to implicate housing for recovering addicts. The other six licensed service provider components do not
explicitly have to do with housing and thus do not appear to implicate the FHA. With regard to intensive
inpatient treatment facilities, the Court finds that these facilities, which combine treatment and housing in the
same location, are less like dwellings and more akin to hospitals legitimately prohibited from residential districts
by the zoning ordinance." 2008 WL 686689, 6 (S.D.FIa. 2008);
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF

Zoning Staff Report; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Delray Beach finds the ordinance is consistent with the
Cornprel~isive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, held in United Stag u
City of Born Raton, that, "Out of the nine licensed service provider components, only three of them-the intensive
inpatient treatment facilities, the Residential Treatment Facility, and the Day and Night Treatment Facilities-
appear to implicate housing for recovering addicts. The other six licensed service provider components do not
explicitly have to do with housing and thus c1o not appear to implicate the FHA. With regard to intensive
inpatient treatment facilities, the Court finds that these facilities, which combine treatment and housing in the
same location, are less like dwellings and rriore akin to hospitals legitimately prohibited from residential districts
by the zoning ordinance." 2008 WL 686689, 6 (S.D.FIa 2008);

DATE: March 9, 2011
SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 10 C - REGULAK COMMISSION MEETING OF MARCH 15.2011
ORDINANCE NO 10-11 (FIRST READING/FIRST PUBLIC HEARING)
ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION
Consideration of acity-initiated ordinance to amend the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to
repeal current specific regulations pertaining to Residential and Non-Residential Licensed Service
Providers and specify the zoning districts in which such uses are allowed. This is accompanied by two
(2) other related ordinances (09-11 and 11-11); all three ordinances address how the city regulates
Residential and Non-Residential Licensed Service Providers.
BACKGROUND
Ordinance No. 10-11 repeals Section 4.3.3 (D), "Residential and Non-Residential Licensed Service
Provider Facilities" in its entirety in order to clarify that the residential component of these facilities
shall be permitted as of right, the same as other residential uses in the various zoning districts where
residential uses are allowed. These changes are being processed to bring our code up to current legal
standards based on recent case law. Recent case law has determined these Residential Licensed Service
Provider uses must be treated the same as any other residential use. The Special Regulations Section
4.3.3 currently contains restrictive elements specific to Residential Licensed Service Providers, such as
minimum separation distances, minimum floor area for bedrooms, minimum floor area devoted to
common areas, locational restrictions (not within 1200 feet of any private or public school), etc. These
Sections are being repealed, as they are not supported by current case law. Further, Residential Licensed
Service Providers are allowed as a conditional use or not at all in certain residential districts. To
comport with current case law they are being added as permitted uses subject to regulations applied to
all residential uses. These include regulations that control transient residential uses, landlord permits,
and the definition of `family.' Also nursing homes where allowed are being moved from uses permitted
by conditional use to permitted by right, to maintain consistency.

AGENDA ITEM: CONSIDERATION OF THREE CITY-INITIATED AMENDMENTS TO THE
LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS (LDR) RELATED TO THE
DELETION OF SPECIAL REGULATIONS THAT PERTAIN TO
RESIDENTIAL LICENSED SERVICE PROVIDERS (SECT. 4.3.3) AND TO
FURTHER ALLOW THEM AS PERMITTED USES IN SPECIFIED ZONING
DISTRICTS (ARTICLE 4.4); CREATING A MEDICAL ARTS OVERLAY

LOCATED WITHIN THE MEDICAL ARTS OVERLAY DISTRICT IN
SPECIFIED ZONING DISTRICTS (ARTICLE 4.4); AMENDING APPENDIX
"A" TO PROVIDE UPDATED DEFINITIONS FOR RESIDENTIAL
LICENSED SERVICE PROVIDER, NON-RESENTIAL LICENSED
SERVICE PROVIDERS, MEDICAL OFFICE, AND INSTITUTIONAL USES.
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is to make a recommendation to the City Commission regarding three
(3) city-initiated ordinances to amend the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to repeal current
specific regulations pertaining to Residential and Non-Residential Licensed Service Providers,
allowing Residential Licensed Service Providers as a permitted use, creating a Medical Arts
Overlay District, and amending the associated definitions.
Pursuant to 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.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
Following is a brief description of the three (3) ordinances:
Ordinance No. 10-11 pertains to Section 4.3.3 (D), "Residential and Non-Residential Licensed
Service Provider Facilities". It is being repealed in its entirety in order to clarify that the
residential component of these facilities shall be permitted as of right, the same as other
residential uses in the various zoning districts where residential uses are allowed. These
changes are being processed to bring our code up to current legal standards based on recent
case law. Recent case law has determined these Residential Licensed Service Provider uses
must be treated similar to any other residential use. The Special Regulations Section 4.3.3
currently contains restrictive elements specific to Residential Licensed Service Providers, such
as minimum separation distances, minimum floor area for bedrooms, minimum floor area
devoted to common areas, locational restrictions (not within 1200 feet of any private or public
school), etc. These Sections are being repealed, as they are unconstitutional. Further,
Residential Licensed Service Providers are allowed as a conditional use or not at all in certain
residential districts. To comport with current case law they are to be added as permitted uses
subject to regulations applied to all residential uses. Also nursing homes where allowed are
being moved from uses permitted by conditional use to permitted by right, to maintain
consistency.
Planning and Zoning Board Meeting, February 28, 2011
LDR Amendment -Medical Arts Overlay
Ordinance No. 11-11 revises the Medical Office definition to include the Outpatient programs
referenced in Section 397.311 of the Florida Statutes dealing with Substance Abuse Services.
This is to clarify and differentiate between outpatient medical treatment and intensive inpatient
medical treatment including detoxification facilities which are institutional in nature. Non-
institutional medical uses are currently, and will continue to be, allowed in medical office
districts. Institutional medical uses including intensive inpatient treatment facilities will be
allowed in the new Medical Arts District. Many of our zoning districts that allow medical office
uses are in mixed districts that allow residential uses or are located in close proximity to
residential uses. Recent case law has found that intensive inpatient treatment facilities are less
like dwellings and more akin to hospitals and can be legitimately prohibited from residential
districts.
Ordinance No. 09-11 creates a Medical Arts Overlay District to include institution-like uses
including hospitals and non-residential licensed service provider facilities (intensive inpatient/
detoxification type facilities) within the overlay district which encompasses CF, POC and PC
zoning districts. These institutional uses are included under the list of permitted uses within the
portion of these zoning districts that are included in the Medical Arts Overlay District. An
amended definition for Institutional Uses is also included. The overlay district encompasses
the general area of Military Trail and Linton Blvd. and includes the existing Delray Medical
Center, the South County Mental Health Center, Inc., Fair Oaks Hospital, Palm Court Plaza,
Wal-Mart Center, Delray Town Center, Delray Outpatient Properties, Linton Oaks Square,
Linton Office Park, and the South County Professional Centre Condo.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
Comprehensive Plan Conformance
LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5) (Findings) requires that the City Commission make a finding that the text
amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives and Policies of the
Comprehensive Plan. The following were identified as relevant to this amendment:
GOAL AREA "A"
LAND WITHIN THE PLANNING AREA SHALL BE DEVELOPED OR REDEVELOPED, TO
SUSTAIN AND ENHANCE THE EXISTING QUALITY OF LIFE, COMPLIMENT AND BE
COMPATIBLE WITH EXISTING LAND USE AND RESULT /N A MIXED, BUT PREDOMINATELY
RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY WITH A BALANCED ECONOMIC BASE AND ENCOURAGE
ACCESSIBLE AFFORDABLE EVERYDAY SERVICES.
Objective A-1
Property shall be developed or redeveloped, in a manner so that the future use, intensity and
density are appropriate in terms of soil, topographic, and other applicable physical considerations;
encourage affordable goods and services; are complementary to and compatible with adjacent
land uses; and fulfill remaining land use needs.
Intensive inpatient treatment facilities that combine treatment and housing in the same location
have been determined to be less like dwellings and more akin to institutional uses like hospitals
and can be legitimately prohibited from residential zoning districts. The Medical Arts Overlay
District is being created to provide an area for the institutional uses and will allow Non-residential
Licensed Service Providers, Hospitals, Treatment Centers, Rehabilitation Centers, Testing
Facilities, and Mental Health Treatment Facilities. Accompanying ordinances will allow non-
institutional medical uses within districts that allow medical uses. The Residential Licensed
