SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM 10.A. -REGULAR COMMISSION MEETING OF JULY 5, 2011
ORDINANCE NO.22-11 (FIRST READING/FIRST PUBLIC HEARING)
ITEM BEFORE COMMISSION
Approval of acity-initiated amendment to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs) that will
introduce the new definition for a call center use and to provide a specific parking requirement for the
use. The use is currently included under general office category and subject to an inadequate parking
requirement.
BACKGROUND
The ordinance includes a new definition to Appendix "A" for the term, Call Center. Call Centers are
central business offices for purposes of making and receiving large numbers of telephone calls for
purposes such as customer support, information inquiries, product services, etc. Such uses are known to
house an increased number of employees in smaller office spaces (cubicles) than more typical office
uses. Call centers can fit as many as eight (8) or more agents per 1,000 sq. ft., where a conventional
office has an average of four (4) employees per 1,000 sq. ft. Where these facilities have opened up, it is
clear that the conventional office use parking requirement is inadequate. The proposed ordinance
clarifies by definition that a Call Center is an office use, and is therefore permitted anywhere office uses
are currently allowed. The parking requirement is considerably increased based upon an anticipated
number of supervisors (2 per 1,000 sq. ft.) and, more importantly, on the number of work stations. A
very similar approach has been taken with amendments to the LDRs for the use of Personal Service
Provider (Beauty Salons, Spas, etc.) in excess of 5,000 sq. ft.

ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD
The item before the Board is to make a recommendation to the City Commission regarding acity-
initiated amendment to Land Development Regulations (LDRs) that will introduce the new
definition for a call center use and to provide a specific parking requirement for the use. The use is
currently included under general office category and subject to an inadequate parking requirement.
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
The ordinance includes a new definition to Appendix "A" for the term, Call Center. Call Centers are
central business offices for purposes of making and receiving large numbers of telephone calls for
purposes such as customer support, information inquiries, product services, etc. Such uses are

Planning and Zoning Board Meeting, June 20, 2011
LDR Amendment-Call Centers: Definition and Parking
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. A thorough review of the Comprehensive Plan was conducted and the
following support this proposed amendment is noted:
Future Land Use Element Objective A-5 states that "the City shall maintain its Land
Development Regulations, which shall be regularly reviewed and updated, to provide timely,
equitable and streamlined processes including, but not limited to, building permit processes for
residential developments and to accommodate mixed-use developments, and other innovative
development practices."
The introduction of a definition to define Call Centers, and establish sufficient parking based upon
documented demand, will help to provide clarity as to what call centers are, where they are
allowed, and how many parking spaces are needed to accommodate such uses. This amendment
is consistent with this Comprehensive Plan objective by updating the Land Development
Regulations.
REVIEW BY OTHERS
