(RESIDENTIAL OFFIGE DISTRICT. SUBSECTION 4.4.17(B)(2) REGARDING DUPLEX STRUCTURES) FEBRUARY 13, 2004 This is second reading and second public he~rlng for Ordinance No. 9-04 amending the land Development Regulations Section 4.4.17, RO (Residential Office District), Subsection 4.4.17(B)(2) regarding duplex structures to provide clarification by deleting "and dwelling units" from the description. Ordinance No. 140-85, which created the RO (Residential Office) zoning district listed "duplex structures, subject to Site and Development Plan Approval" as a permitted use. There were no changes made to this language until October, 1990, when the current language referenced above was adopted as part of the Land Development Regulations (LDR). In 1990, the description was modified to eliminate the approval process, as the approval process for uses in the RO district are listed in another subsection. Based upon staff's research and City records, it is clear that when the language was changed the intent was to only list duplex structures. At that time, there was no discussion with regard to adding multiple family dwelling units to the RO zoning district. If multiple family dwellings (three or more dwelling units) were permitted in the RO district, they would have been listed as a separate subsection consistent with the manner in which other types of residential uses are listed in the LDR's. In order to provide clarification and alleviate any confusion, "and dwelling units" should be deleted from Section 4.4.17(B)(2). The Planning and Zoning Board held a public heating regarding this item. There was no public testimony regarding the proposed amendment. The Board voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the proposed amendment to LDR 4.4.17(B)(2) regarding duplexes, based upon positive findings with respect to Land Development Regulations Section 2.4.5(M) (Amendment to Land Development Regulations), and while the amendment does not specifically further the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, it is not inconsistent with them. At the first reading on February 3, 2004, the Commission passed Ordinance No. 9-04. Recommend approval of Ordinance No. %04 on second and final reading.

Recently, thero has been some questions as to why "and dwelling units" is included in the description of duplexes in the RO zoning district, and if it could be determined that it infers that multiple family dwelling units (three or moro dwelling units) are also permitted. Duplexes are currently listed in the RL (Low Density Residential), RM (Medium Density Residential), PRD (Planned Residential Development) as "Duplex structures."; while in the OSSHAD (Old School Square Historic Arts District) they are listed as "Residential uses of single family detached dwellings and duplexes.' Ordinance No. 140-85, which created the RO (Residential Office) zoning district listed "Duplexes structures, subject to Site and Development Plan Approval" as a permitted use. There were no changes made to this language until October 1990, when the current language referenced above was adopted as part of the Land Development Regulations.

Pursuant to LDR Section 2.4.5(M)(5), approval of an LDR amendment must be based upon a finding that the amendment is consistent with and furthers the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan. As noted previously, this amendment is being initiated more for clarification purposes than to fulfill any specific Comp Plan policy. While the amendment does not specifically further the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the Comprehensive Plan, it is not inconsistent with them.

Vice Mayor Jun Levinson Hon. Deputy Vice Mayor Patricia Archer Hon. Commissioner Bob Costin Hon. Commissioner Alberta Perry McCarthy Delray Beach City Hall 100 NW 1st Avenue Delray Beach, Florida 33444 RECEIVED FEB 1 7 2004 CITY CLERK Dear Mayor and Commissioners: We respectfully submit this letter on behalf of Mr. William Andrews with regard to proposed Ordinance No. 9-04, which is on the City Commission agenda for second reading on Tuesday, February 17, 2004. Mr. Andrews is the owner of a parcel of land located in the R-O District and his existing development expectations would be materially impacted by the proposed ordinance for no discernible public purpose. Mr. Andrews urges you to either defer any action on this proposed ordinance or to defeat the ordinance for the reasons set out in this letter. We respectfully submit that the proposed Ordinance materially changes the R-O District in a manner which is not consistent with the good planning, and the City's planning established objectives, as expressed in its Comprehensive Plan, Community Redevelopment Plan, and the Seacrest/Del-Ida Park Neighborhood Plan ("Neighborhood Plan"). You have already been given a staff report regarding the proposed amendment. The staff analysis states that: Recently, there has been some questions as to why "and dwelling units" is included in the description of duplexes in the RO zoning district, and if it could be determined that it infers that multiple family dwelling units (three or more dwelling tmits) are also permitted. The staff analysis suggests that the deletion of the words "and dwelling units" from the list of permitted uses in the RO District (Section 4.4.17(B), City of Delray Beach Land Development Regulations ("LDRs")) will only serve to clarify the land development regulations. According to the staff, at the time the "and dwelling units" language was added to the land development regulations: "the intent was to only list duplex structures." The assertion is made without support and flies Hon. Mayor Jeff Perlman, et al Page 2 of 5 February 17, 2004 directly in the face of the plain language of the Code and well-established principles of statutory construction. We respectfully submit that: 1. The proposed Ordinance is inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan; The present language of the City's Land Development Regulations does permit multiple family dwelling units, just as the City's Comprehensive Plan and well-considered Neighborhood Plan recognize; and The inclusion of multi-family dwelling units in the RO District, especially in vertically mixed-use buildings, implements the Comprehensive Plan, the Community Redevelopment Plan, and the Neighborhood Plan. I. The Proposed Ordinance Is Inconsistent With The Seacrest/Del-Ida Park Neighborhood Plan. Regardless of the way the staffcharacterizes the "intent" of the 1990 language, the City has officially recognized that the "and dwelling units" language in the list of permitted uses in the RO District allows multi-family dwelling units. The City incorporated this policy into its Comprehensive Plan when it adopted the Seacrest/De! Ida Park Neighborhood Plan on March 3, 1998. The Neighborhood Plan repeatedly states: Within the Del Ida Park RO and RL zoning districts, low density multi-family and/or duplex development will continue to be permitted under the control of the Historic Preservation Board. Neighborhood Plan at iv and 20 (emphasis added). Because it is a component of both the Comprehensive Plan and the Community Redevelopment Plan, the City is obligated to ensure that its land development regulations implement the Neighborhood Plan. The proposed Ordinance undermines the Neighborhood Plan, which was the result of an extensive collaborative effort between the City's Planning and Zoning Department, the Community Redevelopment Agency, the Seacrest Neighborhood Association, and the DeMda Park Neighborhood Association. Hon. Mayor Jeff Perlman, et al Page 3 of 5 February 17, 2004 II. The Comprehensive Plan Anticipates Multifamily and Vertically Mixed-Use Commercial/Residential Development in the RO District. The RO District is a zoning district which, according to the Comprehensive Plan, implements the "Transitional" and "Commercial Core" Future Land Use categories. The Comprehensive Plan provides that: [The "Transitional Land Uses"] designation applies to land which is developed, or is to be developed, for either residential or nonresidential uses. In some instances this designation orovides for a transition between less intensive residential use and commercial uses. In other instances, this designation allows the establishment of uses which are compatible with adjacent residential use. * * * Residential development at a density between five and twelve units per acre, mobile home parks and apartment development in addition to condominiums, Continuing Care Facilities, A.C.L.F., and various types of group homes are appropriate under this designation. Nonresidential development at an intensity equivalent to that associated with medium density residential land uses is also appropriate. City of Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan at FL-42 (emphasis added). Similarly, The Commercial Core designation accommodates a variety of uses including commercial and office development; residential land use upper story apartments .... City of Delray Beach Comprehensive Plan at FL-42 (emphasis added). Except for three tiny areas elsewhere in the City, the RO District is currently applied to lands located entirely within the Del-Ida Park Neighborhood and the Southeastern edge of the Seacrest Neighborhood, just north of Pineapple Grove. The RO District serves a transition function between GC (General Commercial) to the East and RL or R- 1 -AA (both residential districts) to the West, and between CBD and CBD-RC (both downtown districts) to the South and RL or R- 1-AA to the North. The attached map shows the position of the RO District in relation to the other districts. Hon. Mayor JeffPeflman, et al Page 4 of 5 February 17, 2004 The City's Official Zoning Map shows that of the seven zoning districts which surround the principal RO District area, four (4) permit multiple family development, either as a stand alone use or part of a mixed-use project. One (OSSHAD) permits multifamily development as a conditional use. Only two (2) of the Districts do not permit multifamily - R- 1 -AA, a detached single- family residential district located to the Northwest (away from Downtown), and CF, the community facilities district located to the West (which does not allow any residential uses). The proposed Ordinance conflicts with the purported function of the Transitional Future Land Use District and the RO District itself. The Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations, implementing time-tested principles of good urban planning, anticipate that uses in the RO District will "transition" between the uses, densities and intensities of the City's downtown and the uses, densities and intensities of the residential neighborhoods to the north. In this context, the proposed amendment makes no sense because: The RO District is supposed to allow development at a higher density and intensity than the RL District that abuts it to the North and West. Yet while the Ordinance proposes to "clarify" the RO District by removing multifamily uses from it, the RL District specifically allows "multiple family structures." §4.4.5(B)(3), LDRs. The proposed Ordinance would prohibit multifamily in the RO District, even though it is allowed immediately north (in RL), south (in CBD, CBD-RC, and conditionally in OSSHAD), east (in GC), and west (in RL) of the District. See §§4.4.5(B)(3), 4.4.13(B)(4), 4.4.28(B)(1) and (D)(5), 4.4.24(D)(1), 4.4.9(B)(5), LDRs. The RO District regulations permit a mix of uses in the same structure. See §§4.4.17(G)(2) and (H)(2), LDRs.~ As an implementing District for the Commercial Core and Transitional Future Land Use Districts, vertically mixed-use buildings with commercial/office on the first floor and multifamily on the second floor is the only construction of the RO District language that makes sense. ~ Section 4.4.17(G)(2) provides, "Parking required for business and professional offices shall be at the standard of .... However, this requirement may be reduced.., when there is a mix of residential and office use in the same structure." (emphasis added). Section 4.4.17.(H)(2) provides, "A building or structure in the RO District may contain either a residential use, an office use, or a mix of uses." (emphasis added). Hon. Mayor Jeff Peflman, et al Page 5 of 5 February 17, 2004 III. Any Amendment to "Clarify" the RO District Regulations Should Specifically Include Multiple Family Dwellings. Given the City's planning objectives, as reflected in its Comprehensive Plan, Community Redevelopment Plan, and Seacrest/Del-Ida Park Neighborhood Plan, if there is any confusion with regard to the language in the RO District regulations, we respectfully submit that the City should remedy the confusion with the following amendment to Section 4.4.17: (B) Principal Uses and Structures Permitted: The following types of use are allowed within the RO District as a permitted (1) (2) Single family detached dwelling units. Duplex dwellings. ~h~,~,,~ Multiple family dwellings. Business and professional offices. Abused spouse residence limited to forty (40) or fewer residents. Funeral parlors, funeral homes. Parking lots not associated with a use, pursuant to an adopted neighborhood or redevelopment plan. Group home, Type 1, pursuant to restrictions set forth in Section 4.3.3(I).
