SUBJECT: AGENDA ITEM #/0~- REGULAR MEETING OF MAY 18r 1999
ORDINANCE NO. 16-99 (CORRECTIVE REZONING FOR A PORTION OF
KEELER'S DRAPERIES PROPERTY)
DATE: MAY 12, 1999
This is second reading and a quasi-judicial public hearing for
Ordinance No. 16-99 which rezones the south half of a 0.60 acre lot
located on the east side of South Federal Highway, approximately 150
feet south of Tropic Isle Drive, from RM (Multiple Family
Residential) to GC (General Commercial) District.
The overall site is commonly known as Keeler's Draperies at 3415
South Federal Highway. It was developed in 1960 with a one story
commercial building and an associated parking lot. The north half
of the property is zoned General Commercial. Due to a mapping
error, the south half of the lot was incorrectly labeled RM
(Multiple Family Residential). Hence, this action is a City-
initiated rezoning to bring the south half consistent with the north
half and the established commercial use.
The Planning and Zoning Board considered this rezoning at a public
hearing on April 19, 1999. Public testimony was taken from Mr.
Norman Maslow (PROD-Progressive Residents of Delray) who questioned
the zoning boundary lines and property lines. After discussion, the
Board recommended approval of the rezoning by a vote of 5 to 0,
based upon positive findings. At first reading on May 4, 1999, the
City Commission passed the ordinance by unanimous vote.
Recommend approval of Ordinance No. 16-99 on second and final
reading, based upon the findings and recommendation of the Planning
and Zoning Board

SUBJECT: MEETING OF MAY 4, 1999
REZONING FROM RM (MULTIPLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL) TO GC
(GENERAL COMMERCIAL) FOR A PARCEL OF LAND LOCATED ON THE
EAST SIDE OF SOUTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY, APPROXIMATELY 150'
SOUTH OF TROPIC ISLE DRIVE.
The action requested of the City Commission is that of approval on first reading of an ordinance
rezoning the south ~ of a .60 acre lot located on the east side of S. Federal Highway,
approximately 150' south of Tropic Isle Drive. The subject property was originally platted as
part of Tropic Isle Harbor Shopping Center Subdivision in 1957. In the 1980s portions of Tropic
Isle Harbor Shopping Center Subdivision were replatted as a part of Pelican Harbor Phase IV
(now Pelican Pointe Condominiums), Pelican Harbor North No. 2 (now Boca Isle Condo), and
Pelican Harbor Shoppes. The remaining Tropic Isle Harbor Shopping Center Subdivision parcel
(subject property) was developed in 1960 with a one story commercial building (Keeler's
Draperies, 3415 S. Federal Highway) and an associated parking lot.
The north % of the subject property is zoned GC (General Commercial). Due to a mapping
error, the south ¼ of this lot was incorrectly labeled RM (Multiple Family Residential-Medium
Density), and is being rezoned to GC to be consistent with the north % and the established
commercial use. Additional background and an analysis of the request are found in the
attached Planning and Zoning Board Staff Report.
At its meeting of April 19, 1999 the Planning and Zoning Board held a public hearing in
conjunction with review of the rezoning. Public testimony was taken from Mr. Norman Maslow
(PROD-Progressive Residents of Delray), who questioned the zoning boundary lines and
property lines. After closing the public hearing, the Board unanimously recommended approval
of the rezoning on a 5-0 vote (Robin Bird and Alberta McCarthy absent).
By motion, approve on first reading the ordinance rezoning the parcel from RM (Multiple Family
Residential) to GC (General Commercial), and setting a public hearing date of May 18, 1999.

The item before the Board is that of making a recommendation to the City
Commission on a City initiated rezoning from RM (Multiple Family Residential-Medium
Density) to GC (General Commercial) for a property located at the southeast corner of
S. Federal Highway and Tropic Isle Drive, pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(D).
Pursuant to Section 2.2.2(E), the Local Planning Agency shall review and make a
recommendation to the City Commission with respect to rezoning of any property
within the City.
The proposal involves the south ~ of a lot located at the southeast corner of S.
Federal Highway and Tropic Isle Drive (the entire lot consists of approximately .60
acre). The subject property was originally platted as part of Tropic Isle Harbor
Shopping Center Subdivision in 1957. In the 1980s portions of Tropic Isle Harbor
Shopping Center Subdivision were replatted as a part of Pelican Harbor Phase IV
(now Pelican Pointe Condominiums), Pelican Harbor North No. 2 (now Boca Isle
Condo), and Pelican Harbor Shoppes. The remaining Tropic Isle Harbor Shopping
Center Subdivision parcel (subject property) was developed in 1960 with a one story
commercial building (Keeler's Draperies, 3415 S. Federal Highway) and an
associated parking lot. At the time the site was developed the property was zoned C-
1 (General Commercial).
The property was rezoned to RM-20 in 1972. Since 1972 the property had various
multi-family zoning designations until 1990, when the property was rezoned from RM-
10 to GC in part (north ~) and RM in part (south ~), with the Citywide rezoning and
adoption of the Land Development Regulations.
The north ~ of the subject property is zoned GC (General Commercial). Due to a
mapping error, the south ~ of this lot was incorrectly labeled RM (Multiple Family
Residential-Medium Density), and must be rezoned to GC to be consistent with the
north ~ and associated commercial use. The south ~ of the lot was also incorrectly
labeled with respect to the Future Land Use Map, with an assigned classification of
MD (Medium Density Residential). This error was corrected on the FLUM in 1997
with the establishment of the digital mapping system, and the FLUM designation was
changed from MD to GC (General Commercial).
The northwest corner of Pelican Pointe Condominiums directly east is incorrectly
identified as GC on the zoning map and must be classified as RM to be consistent
with the overall RM zoning designation of Pelican Point Condominiums. The zoning
error for Pelican Point can be corrected administratively on the City Zoning Map, as
the vast majority of the property is zoned RM. Where a zoning district boundary

Page 2
divides a lot, the zoning designation on the greater portion shall apply to the entire
parcel. The zoning split on Keeler Draperies properties is too close to call and is
therefore being handled through a corrective rezoning.
The request now before the Board is the corrective rezoning of the south % of the
Keeler Draperies property from RM (Multiple Family Residential-Medium Density) to
GC (General Commercial).
REQUIRED FINDINGS: (Chapter 3)
Pursuant to Section 3.J.l(Required Findings), prior to the approval of
development applications, certain findings must be made in a form which is
part of the official record. This may be achieved through information on the
application, the staff report, or minutes. Findings shall be made by the body
which has the authority to approve or deny the development application. These
findings relate to the Future Land Use Map, Concurrency, Comprehensive Plan
Consistency and Compliance with the Land Development Regulations.
Future Land Use Map: The use or structures must be allowed in the zoning
district and the zoning district must be consistent with the land use
designation.
The FLUM (Future Land Use Map) designation for the subject property is GC
(General Commercial). The property is currently zoned RM and the existing use is
commercial. Thus, the zoning is inconsistent. The requested zoning change from RM
to GC is corrective, and will result in consistency with respect to the existing
commercial use on the property, and GC FLUM designation.
Concurrency: Facilities which are provided by, or through, the City shall be
provided to new development concurrent with issuance of a Certificate of
Occupancy. These facilities shall be provided pursuant to levels of service
established within the Comprehensive Plan.
The proposed rezoning is corrective, and no new development or redevelopment is
proposed with this request. Based upon the above, the rezoning will not impact
facilities as they pertain to water and sewer, drainage, traffic, parks or recreation, or
solid waste.

Corrective Rezoning from RM to GC for Keeler's Draperies
Page 3
Consistency: Compliance with the performance standards set forth in Section
3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions) along with required findings in Section
2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings) shall be the basis upon which a finding of
overall consistency is to be made. Other objectives and policies found in the
adopted Comprehensive Plan may be used in the making of a finding of overall
consistency.
Section 3.3.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions): Standards A, B and E are not
applicable. The applicable performance standards of Section 3.3.2 are as
follows:
C) Zoning changes that would result in strip commercial development shall be
avoided. Where strip commercial developments or zoning currently exists
along an arterial street, consideration should be given to increasing the
depth of the commercial zoning in order to provide for better project design.
D) That the rezoning shall result in allowing land uses which are deemed
compatible with adjacent and nearby land uses both existing and proposed;
or that if an incompatibility may occur, that sufficient regulations exist to
properly mitigate adverse impacts from the new use.
Keeler's Draperies is surrounded by the following zoning districts and land uses: to
the north and west are Pelican Harbor Shoppes and vacant land on properties zoned
PC (Planned Commercial); south is vacant land on property zoned PRD (Planned
Residential); and, east is Pelican Pointe Condominiums on property zoned RM
(Multiple Family Residential-Medium Density). The rezoning of the south % of the lot
is corrective, and will result in the application of an appropriate zoning classification
which is consistent with the zoning designation of the balance of the property, and the
associated land use. This use has been at this location since 1960 and no new
development is proposed. Based upon the above, positive findings can be made
with respect to the applicable performance standards.
Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Rezoning Findings):
Pursuant to Section 2.4.5(D)(5) (Findings), in addition to provisions of Section
3.1.1, the City Commission must make a finding that the rezoning fulfills one of
the reasons for which the rezoning change is being sought. These reasons
include the following:
a. That the zoning had previously been changed, or was originally established,
in error;
P & Z Staff Report
Corrective Rezoning from RM to GC for Keeler's Draperies
Page 4
b. That there has been a change in circumstances which make the current
zoning inappropriate;
c. That the requested zoning is of similar intensity as allowed under the Future
Land Use Map and that it is more appropriate for the property based upon
circumstances particular to the site and/or neighborhood.
The reason for the rezoning is "a". This corrective rezoning will result in the assigning
of appropriate classification for the existing use, as well as consistency with respect to
zoning designation for the entire parcel, and the underlying GC FLUM designation.
Compliance with Land Development Regulations: The proposed use is to be in
compliance with the Land Development Regulations.
Items identified in the Land Development Regulations shall specifically be
addressed by the body taking final action on a land development
application/request.
The subject property is developed and no additional improvements are proposed with
this request.
The subject property is not in a geographic area requiring review by either the HPB
(Historic Preservation Board), DDA (Downtown Development Authority) or the CRA
(Community Redevelopment Agency).
Neighborhood Notice:
Formal public notice has been provided to property owners within a 500' radius of the
subject property.
Special courtesy notices have been sent to:
Tropic Isle Homeowners Association
Tropic Harbor Condominiums
Pelican Harbor Homeowners Association
Pelican Pointe Association
Letters of objection or support, if any, will be presented at the P & Z Board meeting.
P & Z Staff Report
Corrective Rezoning from RM to GC for Keeler's Draperies
Page 5
The rezoning of the subject property is corrective and will result in consistent zoning
identification of the overall lot and associated land use. The proposed GC zoning
designation is consistent with the GC classification of the north ~ of the parcel, with
the underlying GC FLUM designation, and the existing commercial use. The
commercial use on the property has existed at this site for many years and the
surrounding properties will not be affected by the zoning change. No new
redevelopment or redevelopment is anticipated with this request.
A. Continue with direction.
B. Recommend to the City Commission approval of the rezoning request from RM
(Multiple Family Residential-Medium Density) to GC (General Commercial) for
Keeler's Draperies, based upon positive findings with respect to Sections 3.1.1
(Required Findings), 3.2.2 (Standards for Rezoning Actions), and 2.4.5(D)(5)(a) of
the Land Development Regulations, that the zoning had been established in error.
C. Recommend to the City Commission denial of the rezoning request from RM
(Multiple Family Residential-Medium Density) to GC (General Commercial) for
Keeler's Draperies, with basis stated.
Recommend to the City Commission approval of the rezoning request from RM
