(First Reading 10/20/11) Action: [City Clerk's Note: This item was heard before Item 6A.] City Clerk Hines read the title, and City Attorney Ottinot reported noting that the City Commission is also sitting in as the Land Planning Agency and we combined the two matters for voting purposes. He summarized the proposed Zoning Code provisions: in the Town Center District which is the south side of Sunny Isles Boulevard, the proposed Ordinance will change the maximum height for a phased project to increase it to 200 feet providing that overall height of all the buildings on that project does not exceed 200 feet. That proposed change will not increase density in that area. With respect to the MUR District which is on the east side of Collins Avenue, the proposed Ordinance will increase the FAR from 4.0 to 4.6, which does not increase density in that area. There are some additional changes in the MUR District, the proposed Ordinance will also provide the height in that area be governed by FAA Regulations. It will allow a connecting bridge between two buildings where there is some common interest of ownership. Also, it will allow a 5% limitation with respect to setback requirements in the MUR District. The proposed Ordinance will also amend the TDR Ordinance to allow height be governed by FAA Regulations so that we have overall consistency within our Code.
