SECOND READING/PUBLIC HEARING FOR ORDINANCE NO. 33-95
(DELETING SPECIAL USE PROVISIONS FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED
ALONG THE F.E.C. RAILROAD CORRIDOR IN THE DOWNTOWN AREA)
DATE: JUNE 14, 1995
This is second reading and public hearing for Ordinance No. 33-95
which amends Sections 4.4.13(H)((3) and (4), Central Business
District Special Regulations, of the Land Development Regulations
by deleting the special use provisions for the light industrial
area along the F.E.C. Railroad corridor in the downtown area.
Currently there exists a provision in the CBD zoning regulations
that allows certain uses of a light industrial nature to be
conducted in an area that is generally defined as being 100 feet on
either side of the railroad, north of N.E. 1st Street and south of
S.E. 1st Street. This "overlay zone" has created difficulties in
implementation and enforcement. In some cases the boundaries cross
through the middle of the lots. It also includes some properties
that are zoned General Commercial, and not CBD. In addressing
these problems and the uses in this area, the CBD Industrial
Committee determined that it would be more appropriate to create a
separate zoning district along the rail corridor. With the
creation and application of the new CBD-RC district, it is
necessary to eliminate the overlay zone. It should be noted there
are certain areas that are within the overlay zone which are not
proposed to be rezoned to CBD-RC. Information on these areas as
well as additional background and analysis is contained in the
attached staff report.
The Planning and Zoning Board formally considered the amendment at
public hearing on May 15, 1995, and voted 6 to 0 to recommend that
it be approved. On June 6, 1995, the Commission voted unanimously
to pass the ordinance on first reading.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 33-95 on second and final
reading.

SUBJECT: MEETING OF JUNE 6, 1995
LDR AMENDMENT DELETING SPECIAL USE PROVISIONS
FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED WITHIN 100' OF THE F.E.C.
RAILROAD IN THE CBD ZONING DISTRICT
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION:
The action requested of the Commission is the approval of an amendment to Sections
4.4.13(H)(3) and (4), Central Business District (CBD), Special Regulations, deleting the
special use provisions for the light industrial area along the F.E.C. rail corridor in the
downtown area.
BACKGROUND
Currently there exists a provision in the CBD zoning regulations that allows certain uses of a light
industrial nature to be conducted in an area that is generally defined as being 100' on either side
of the railroad, north of N.E. 1st Street, and south of S.E. 1st Street. This "overlay zone" as
described has created difficulties in implementation and enforcement. In some cases the
boundaries cross through the middle of the lots. It also includes some properties that are zoned
General Commercial, and not CBD. In addressing these problems, and the uses in this area, the
CBD Industrial Committee determined that it would be more appropriate to create a separate
zoning district along the rail corridor. With the creation and application of that new zoning
district, it is necessary to eliminate the overlay zone. It should be noted that there are certain
areas that are now contained within the overlay zone, that are not proposed to be rezoned to
CBD-RC. Information on those areas, as well as additional background and analysis, is
contained in the attached P & Z Board staff report.
PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION
The Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing on this item on May 15, 1995. There was
no testimony from the public. The Board voted unanimously to recommend approval of the
amendment.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
By motion, approve the amendment deleting Sections 4.4.13(H)(3) and (4) of the Land
Development Regulations.

MEETING OF: MAY 15, 1995
AGENDA ITEM: V.J. AMENDMENT TO THE LDRS DELETING THE SPECIAL
USE PROVISIONS FOR PROPERTIES LOCATED WITHIN 100'
OF THE FEC RAILROAD IN CERTAIN AREAS OF THE CBD
ZONING DISTRICT
ITEM BEFORE THE BOARD:
The item before the Board is that of making a
recommendation to the City Commission regarding an' ·
amendment to the Land Development Regulations (LDRs).
The affected LDR sections are 4.4.13(H)(3) and (4), Central
Business District (CBD), Special Regulations.
BACKGROUND:
Since the 1950's, an "overlay" zone has existed which applies to
the blocks located adjacent to the F.E.C. railroad corridor in
the downtown area. Within this area, certain uses of a light
industrial character have been permitted which are not permitted
elsewhere within the overall zoning district. Although the
boundaries of the overlay zone have been modified over the
years, it has primarily consisted of the area that is 100' on
either side of the railroad right-of-way, between N.E. 4th
Street and S.E. 4th Street.
Currently the overlay zone consists of two sections that are
described within the Central Business District zoning district
regulations, as referenced above. The locations as described
have created difficulties in implementation and enforcement. In
some cases the boundaries cross through the middle of lots, and
in others they include blocks that are zoned GC (General
Commercial) and not CBD.
In response to these and other problems experienced in this part
of the downtown, a committee was established to study the area
and determine the appropriate course of action. The CBD
Industrial Area Committee recommended that the overlay zone be
replaced by a. new zoning district entitled CBD-RC, Central
Business District--Railroad Corridor. With the creation and
application of that zoning district, it is necessary to
eliminate the language in the CBD regulations referring to the
overlay zone.
ANALYS I S:
This amendment., deletes LDR sections 4.4.13(H) (3) and (4) in
their entirety. As the overlay zone is being replaced by the
new district, it is appropriate to delete the references to that
zone.
P & Z Memorandum Staff Report
LDR Amendment Deleting the CBD Overlay Zone
Page 2
In most cases the replacement of the overlay zone with the
CBD-RC district will allow increased flexibility in the types of
permitted and conditional uses allow. However, there are some
areas that are currently included in the overlay zone, but were
not recommended by the committee for rezoning to CBD-RC. One of
these areas includes the blocks on either side of the railroad
between N.E. 1st and N.E. 2nd Streets. The committee felt that
the existing uses, which mainly consist of single family homes,
vacant property, and a newly constructed building (for carpet
sales and carpet cleaning machines and supplies) were more
appropriately zoned CBD. In' addition, the area immediately
east of the railroad and just south of N.E. 4th Street was
not included in the CBD-RC. These lots front on Federa~
Highway, and the committee did not want to see light industrial
type uses established along that corridor.
This amendment is the final step in a series of actions that
were necessary to create and apply the CBD-RC zoning district.
Additional analysis regarding the basis for this amendment is
contained in the April 17, 1995 P & Z staff report for the LDR
amendment creating the CBD-RC zoning district, and in the May
15', 1995 P & Z staff report for the rezoning to CBD-RC.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
By motion, recommend to the City Commission the amendment to the
Land Development Regulations deleting Sections 4.4.13(H)(3) and
(4).
