hereby amended by enacting a new Section 4.4.27, "Open Space and
Recreation (OSR) District", to read as follows:
Section 4.4.27 Open Space and Recreation (OSR) District:
(A) Purpose and Intent: The Open Space and Recreation (OSR)
Zone District is established in order to most appropriately identify
parcels of land which are used primarily for recreational or public
purposes in an outdoor setting (e.g. a swimming facility). Thus, it is
generally applied to parks, golf courses, and situations where public
recreational facilities may exist. It also accommodates the operation
of activities licensed by the City.
The OSR District is deemed compatible with all land use
designations shown on the Future Land Use Map.
(B) Principal Uses and Structures Permitted: The following
types of use are allowed within the OSR District as a permitted use:
(1) Parks, public or private, active or passive,
including playgrounds, ballfields, interpretative
trails, educational exhibits, and the like
(2) Recreational facilities such as swimming pools,
tennis courts, exercise and activity rooms
(3) Golf courses (public or private), including
clubhouses with restaurants, meeting rooms, pro
shops, and similar facilities
(4) Cemeteries and mausoleums, public or private
(C) Accessory Uses and Structures Allowed: The following
types of use are allowed when a part of, or accessory to, the principal
use:
(1) Parking lots
(2) Restrooms, rest areas, picnic facilities
(3) Administrative and maintenance buildings
(4) Boat ramps
(5) Concessions and services provided under a license
agreement with the City of Delray Beach
(6) Storage of inventory, equipment, and materials,
within a structure or in an approved outside
location
(7) Residential facilities for temporary occupancy by
participants of recreational programs
(D) Conditional Uses and Structures Allowed: There are no
listed conditional uses in the OSR District. If a use is so
contemplated, it may be more appropriate to seek CF District zoning.
(E) Review and Approval Process: The use of any land within
the OSR District must be pursuant to a site and development plan which
has been approved by the Site Plan Review and Appearance Board pursuant
to Sections 2.4.5(F), (H) and (I), as appropriate.
(F) Development, Supplemental~ and Special Regulations: All
standards for the development and/or use of property zoned OSR shall be
established pursuant to the site and development plan.
Section 2. That all ordinances or parts of ordinances which
are in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.

SectiOn 3. That should any section or provision of this
ordinance or any portion thereof, any paragraph, sentence or word be
declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, such
decision shall not affect the validity of the remainder hereof as a
whole or part thereof other than the part declared to be invalid.

(10) days after its passage on second and final reading.

SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING FOR ORDINANCE NO.
~-94/LDR AMENDMENT CREATING SECTION 4.4.27, "OSR (QP~N
SPACE AND RECREATION~ DISTRICT
DATE: JUNE 17, 1994
This is second reading and public hearing for Ordinance No. 31-94
which amends the Land Development Regulations by creating a new
zoning district to be known as the OSR (Open Space and
Recreation) District.
This amendment is proposed in response to direction from the
Commission in February, 1993, to refine the CF (Community
Facilities) District. It, along with the proposed amendments to
the CF and OS (Open Space) zoning districts, is intended to
provide a zoning category which clearly delineates the types of
use it is intended to accommodate. The attached staff report
provides additional background and analysis of the OSR District.
Basically, it is intended primarily for outdoor recreational uses
such as golf courses and city parks with active facilities such
as ballfields.
The Planning and Zoning Board formally reviewed this item at its
meeting of April 18, 1994, and forwarded the amendment to the
Commission with a unanimous recommendation of approval. Staff
has subsequently proposed the inclusion of "Residential
facilities for temporary occupancy by participants of
recreational programs" as an accessory use in the OSR district in
order to accommodate the residential facilities at the Bucky Dent
Baseball School.
The Commission passed Ordinance No. 31-94 on first reading on
June 7, 1994, by a 4 to 0 vote.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 31-94 on second and final
reading.

FROM: D
DIRECTOR OF PLANNI~ING
SUBJECT: MEETING OF JUNE 7, 1994 LDR AMENDMENT CREATING SECTION 4.4.27, OSR (OPEN SPACE
AND RECREATION) DISTRICT
ACTION REQUESTED OF THE COMMISSION:
The action requested of the City Commission is that of
approval of an amendment to the Land Development
Regulations.
The amendment creates a new zoning district to be known as ....
the OSR (Open Space and Recreation) District.
B A C K G R 0 U N D:
This amendment is the result of direction given by the City
Commission in February of 1993, during consideration of changes
proposed to the CF (Community Facilities) District. Those
changes involved a renaming of the district to IFS (Institutions
Facilities and Services), and the provision of flexibility in
some of the development standards and allowable uses. During
the discussion of the amendment, the Commission noted that the
district was quite broad in scope, in that it accommodated uses
ranging from parks and ballfields to government centers and
hospitals. Direction was given to create two separate zoning
districts from the CF zone: one that would accommodate
services and institutions, and one that would be applied to
recreational facilities. The resulting new zoning district is
the OSR (Open Space and Recreation) District.
ANALYSIS
The OSR District is intended primarily for outdoor recreational
uses such as golf courses and city parks with active facilities
such as ball fields. It is also appropriate for recreation
centers that involve outdoor oriented activities, such as the
Catherine Strong Center and Pompey Park. As a result of the
creation of this district, golf courses will be deleted as an
allowable use in the Open Space district, and golf courses
throughout the City will be rezoned to OSR. The OSR as proposed
provides additional clarification as to the types of accessory
uses that will be permitted in conjunction with golf courses and
other active recreation areas.

PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD CONSIDERATION:
The Planning and Zoning Board formally reviewed this item at its
meeting of April 18, 1994. At the suggestion of members of the
Hamlet Golf and Tennis Club, the Board recommended that language
be added which allowed for private recreational facilities
operated in conjunction with golf courses. The Board voted 7-0
to recommend approval of the amendment.
During its discussion of the related rezonings of facilities
from CF and OS to OSR, a question was raised regarding the
residential facilities at the Bucky Dent Baseball School.
Because such facilities are not listed as allowable in the OSR
district, the Board recommended that the facility remain zoned
CF. However, that creates other complications, as parks and
ballfields are being deleted from the CF district. A more
appropriate approach would be the inclusion of the use
"Residential facilities for temporary occupancy by participants
of recreational programs" as an accessory use in the OSR
District.
RECOMMEND ED ACTION:
By motion, approve the LDR amendment creating Section 4.4.27,
Open Space and Recreation District as attached, with the
addition of the following under Section 4.4.27 (C) Accessory
Uses and Structures Allowed:
(7) Residential facilities for temporary occupancy by
participants of recreational programs.
