ORDINANCE NO. 8-00 (PARKING LOTS AND POCKET PARKS WITHIN
RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS)
MARCH 31, 2000
This is second reading and the second public heating for Ordinance No. 8-00 winch amends the Land
Development Regulauons to allow parking lots and pocket parks within residential zoning chstricts
when assocxated w~th a redevelopment or neighborhood plan.
Pursuant to the Seacrest/Del-Ida Park Netghborhood Plan, the Community Redevelopment Agency has
acqtured several properttes m the Seacrest nexghborhood for construction of off-street parking lots
and has subrmtted plans for s~te plan review. Currently, parking lots not associated w~th a use are not
a permitted use in the ctty's residential dismcts.
The CRA also proposed to include a pocket park adjacent to one of its proposed parking lots. This
proposed park will include a playground for neighborhood children. Although recreational facilities
are currently allowed as an accessory use attendant to a subdivision and operated under a bonafide
homeowners assoc~aUon, there are no provisions made m the LDRs for locaUng parks m existing
residential nmghborhoods other than through a rezonmg of the property. The proposed amendments
will add pocket parks as a permitted use m the R-I, RE and RM zoning districts.
On January 13, 2000, the CRA reviewed the proposal and recommended approval of the proposed
amendments. On January 24, 2000, the Planning and Zoning Board reviewed the amendments at a
public hearing and voted 7 to 0 to recommend approval. At its February 15th meeting, the City
Comrmss~on considered the original ordinance which limited the parks and parking lots to pubhc
facilities. Upon the advice of the C~ty Attorney, that ordinance was denied on first reading.
Ordinance No. 8-00 allows for parks and parking lots where such facihties are included m an adopted
redevelopment or neighborhood plan. At first reading on March 21st, the City Commission passed
Ordinance No. 8-00 by unantmous vote.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 8-00 on second and final reading.

JANUARY 24, 2000
AGENDA ITEM:
IV.J. AMENDMENT TO THE LAND DEVELOPMENT
REGULATIONS (LDRs) DEALING WITH PUBLIC PARKING LOTS
AND POCKET PARKS WITHIN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City Commission on
amendments to LDR Section 4.4.3(B) Principal Uses and Structures Permitted for the
Single Family Residential (R-l) Districts, Section 4.4.5(B) Principal Uses and Structures
Permitted for the Low Density Residential (RL) District, Section 4.4.6(B) Principal Uses and
Structures Permitted for the Medium Density Residential (RM) District, and Section
4.4.17(B) Principal Uses and Structures Permitted for the Residential Office (RO) District.
Pursuant to LDR Section 1.1.6, amendments to the Land Development Regulations may not
be made until a recommendation is obtained from the Planning and Zoning Board.
The Comprehensive Plan calls for the preparation of redevelopment and neighborhood
plans in certain areas of the city where blighted conditions exists. Inadequate parking is a
problem in many of these areas due to high concentrations of duplex and multi-family
development that does not meet current development standards. The SeacresfJDel-lda
Park Neighborhood Plan, adopted on March 3, 1998 states as follows:
As part of the overall streetscape program for the neighborhood, it is
recommended that the CRA acquire one or more lots on each block within the
higher density duplex/multi-family areas. These lots will be used for the
construction of off-street parking lots for the residents. This will help alleviate
many of the problems associated with the large number of back-out parking
spaces on the street and provide opportunities to install additional
landscaping and drainage.
Pursuant to the plan, the Community Redevelopment Agency has acquired several
properties in the Seacrest neighborhood for this purpose and has submitted plans for site
plan review. Currently, parking lots not associated with a use are not a permitted use in the
city's residential districts.
The CRA also proposes to include a pocket park adjacent to one of its proposed parking
lots. This proposed park will include a playground for neighborhood children. Although
recreational facilities are currently allowed as an accessory use attendant to a subdivision
and operated under a bonafide homeowners association, there are no provisions made in
the LDRs for locating public parks in existing residential neighborhoods. It should be noted
that the Comprehensive Plan includes a policy to develop such a program, but this program
Planning and Zoning Board Memorandum Staff Report
Public Pocket Parks and Parking Lots in Residential Zoning Districts
Page 2
is not yet underway. The proposed amendments will add public pocket parks as a permitted
use to R-l, RL, and RM zoning districts.
This amendment proposes to allow the use of public parking lots within existing
neighborhoods where inadequate private parking exists. These parking lots will provide an
alternative to parking in and damaging the drainage swales within the neighborhood. Once
this parking is relocated, additional pavement that has been added for parking on-street can
then be removed and swales can be reestablished. The long term goal for Seacrest
neighborhood is to become an entirely single family neighborhood. The proposed public
parking lots are a temporary measure until this occurs. Once they are no longer needed,
they can be converted back to residential use. With this goal in mind, the proposed text
amendments are preferable to rezoning the properties CF.
The proposed amendments would allow public parking lots as a permitted use pursuant to
an adopted redevelopment or neighborhood plan. These plans are developed jointly with
the neighborhoods involved and many options are considered to solve existing problems.
The amendment will provide an additional tool for the redevelopment effort.
Since private recreational facilities are permitted as an accessory use within residential
subdivisions in R-l, RL and RM zoning districts when operated by a homeowners
association, the use itself is already deemed to be compatible. Older, established
neighborhoods within the City are at a disadvantage, since open space was often not
included in the subdivision plat and no bonafide homeowners associations exist. The City
would have to provide facilities where needed in these areas.
REQUIRED FINDINGS
LDR Section 2.4.5(M){5), Amendment to the Land Development Regulations,
Findings: In addition to the 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.
A review of the objectives and policies of the adopted Comprehensive Plan was conducted
and the following applicable policies were noted:
Housing Element Objective A-5
For those areas identified as needing "revitalization" the City shall take measures to prevent
further decline, and to help move the neighborhood toward a classification of "stabilization"
or "stable".
Housin~l Element Policy A-5.$ These areas shall be provided assistance through the
development of a "neighborhood plan" which is directed toward the arresting of deterioration
through physical improvements such as street lighting, street trees, landscaping, street
repair, drainage improvements, sidewalks, parks and parking areas, installation or
upgrading of water and sewer facilities, all of which may be provided through funding and/or
assessment districts. The plans shall also address the appropriateness of existing land use
Planning and Zoning Board Memorandum Staff Report
Public Pocket Parks and Parking Lots in Residential Zoning Districts
Page 3
and zoning classifications, traffic circulation patterns, abatement of inappropriate uses, and
targeting of code enforcement programs. The plans shall be prepared by the Planning and
Zoning Department, with assistance from the Community Improvement Department, and the
Community Redevelopment Agency if located within the CRA district. At least one
neighborhood plan shall be prepared each fiscal year. The priority of these plans is as
follows:
· Seacrest/Del Ida
· Allen/Eastview/Lake Avenues (to be addressed in the N. Federal Plan)
· Osceola Park
· Delray Shores
The proposed amendment will further this policy in that it add parks and public parking lots
as a permitted use within residential zoning districts. When it is determined through the
neighborhood planning process that additional off-street parking is necessary to stabilize
and revitalize the area, it will be permitted.
Open Space and Recreation Element Policy A-2.7 The City shall develop a program
to establish small parks in neighborhoods. The program would include identification of
vacant or surplus parcels, and strategies to assure that the neighborhood determines the
parameters of the park and is responsible for construction and operating costs. Such
strategies should rely heavily on existing neighborhood associations as the originating,
motivating and organizing forces. Program development shall occur in FY 97/98.
While a specific program for small parks has not been developed, the issue is routinely
addressed in the preparation of redevelopment and neighborhood plans. Potential park
sites were identified in the Southridge and North Federal Highway plans, and a tot lot is
being proposed for the Seacrest area. The changes in this amendment are necessary to
implement these proposed parks.
Open Space and Recreation Element Policy A-3.1 Tot lots and recreational areas,
serving children from toddlers to teens, shall be a feature of all new housing developments
as part of design to accommodate households having a range of ages. This requirement
may be waived or modified for residential developments located in the downtown area, and
for infill projects having fewer than 25 units.
Although the policy only speaks to new housing developments, it shows the importance of
including tot lots and recreation areas in neighborhoods. The proposed amendment makes
this possible in existing neighborhoods as well.
A positive finding can be made that the amendments are consistent with and further the
Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive.
The proposed amendments were reviewed by the Community Redevelopment Agency on
January 13, 2000. The Board recommended approval of the proposed amendment.

CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS TO THE LAND

REGULATIONS (LDRs) DEALING WITH PARKING LOTS AND POCKET PARKS
WITHIN RESIDENTIAL DISTRICTS
Pursuant to the Seacrest/Del-lda Park Neighborhood Plan, the Community Redevelopment Agency
has acquired several properties in the Seacrest neighborhood for construction of off-street parking lots
and has submitted plans for site plan review. Currently, parking lots not associated with a use are not
a permitted use in the city's residential districts.
The CRA also proposes to include a pocket park adjacent to one of its proposed parking lots. This
proposed park will include a playground for neighborhood children. Although recreational facilities are
currently allowed as an accessory use attendant to a subdivision and operated under a bonafide
homeowners association, there are no provisions made in the LDRs for locating parks in existing
residential neighborhoods other than through a rezoning of the property. The proposed amendments
will add pocket parks as a permitted use to the R-l, RL, and RM zoning districts. It is noted that the
original ordinance would have restricted these uses to public facilities, however, the City Attorney
advised against that limitation. For additional background and analysis see the attached P & Z Board
staff report.
At its meeting of January 13, 2000, the Community Redevelopment Agency reviewed the proposal
and recommended approval of proposed amendments. At its meeting of January 24, 2000, the
Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in c~njunction with review of the request. No one
from the public spoke on the matter. The Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the proposed
amendments. At its meeting of February 15, 2000, the City Commission considered the original
ordinance, which limited the parks and parking lots to public facilities. Upon the advice of the City
Attorney, that ordinance was denied on first reading. The current version of the ordinance allows for
parks and parking lots where such facilities are included in an adopted redevelopment or
neighborhood plan.
By motion, approve the attached ordinance amending LDR Section 4.4.3(B) Principal Uses and
