CASSELBERRY CITY COMMISSION Minutes of November 19, 2018 — Regular Meeting Page 10 of 19 9. RESOLUTIONS A. Resolution 18-3068 — Legislation in Progress within Zoning Districts for Properties Zoned for Multi -family Uses The City Clerk read Resolution 18-3068 by title, as follows: "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CASSELBERRY, FLORIDA, RECOGNIZING AND CONFIRMING LEGISLATION IN PROGRESS REGARDING AMENDMENTS TO SIZE AND DIMENSION REGULATIONS TO DECREASE THE MINIMUM LIVING AREA; AMENDMENTS TO PARKING SPACES REQUIRED PER LAND USE; AMENDMENTS TO DESIGN CRITERIA FOR BUILDINGS IN EXCESS OF 35 FEET IN HEIGHT; TO AMEND MEDIUM DENSITY RESIDENTIAL USES THAT CAN APPLY FOR A CONDITIONAL USE; PROVIDING FOR LEGISLATIVE FINDINGS; RECOGNIZING LEGISLATION IN PROGRESS; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE." Staff Presentation: Development Services Manager Emily Hanna gave an overview of Resolution 18- 3068, the purpose of which is to provide notice that the City of Casselberry is developing an ordinance to amend the Unified Land Development Regulations to address inconsistencies within the zoning districts for properties zoned for multi -family uses as follows: 1. Decrease the minimum living area requirement (Section 2-5.4) for RMF -13, RMF -20 and PRD to match the living area requirements within PMX-Mid and PMX-High, as adopted in Ordinance 16-1446. 2. Decrease the parking spaces required by use (Section 3-15.2) to match the parking space requirement for PMX-Mid and PMX-High, as adopted within Ordinance 16-1446. 3. Add Medium Density Residential for associated zoning districts (RMF -13, RMF -20 and PRD) to Section 3-10.12 as a qualified zoning district that can request a Conditional Use for building heights greater than 35 feet in height. Staff also intends to include a change to the impervious surface ratio to allow for more intensity, especially in the multi -family districts that allow 13 and 20 dwelling units per acre. In response to questions from the City Commission, Ms. Hanna advised that the current ratio was 50% open space, 50% impervious, but staff was looking at a possible impervious ratio of 70/30 which was comparable to other municipalities in the area and what was currently allowed in the City's RMF -20 zoning district. Staff anticipates bringing this ordinance to the Planning and Zoning Commission in December of 2018, and to the City Commission in January and February of 2019. Budget Impact: There is no impact to the City Budget. Recommendation: The City Manager and the Community Development Director recommended approval of Resolution 18-3068. Audience Participation: No one came forward to address the Commission regarding Resolution 18-3068.
