RE: Proposed ,J • •nolia Redevelopment Overlay Ordinance
Request:
An ordinance of the City Commission of Opa-locka, Florida, to consider proposed
changes to the land development code, Ordinance No. 86-8, for Magnolia North
Redevelopment Overlay Ordinance, which encourages the revitalization of underused
commercial and residential areas into developments that provide a complimentary mix
of uses. Including residential options; providing for incorporation of recitals; providing
for conflict and repealer; providing for severability; providing for an effective date
Description:
The proposed overlay ordinance will enable developers to expedite mixed use
residential development on currently designated commercial zoned areas in Magnolia
North. The Planning Council met on July 12, 2011 regarding the attached proposed
ordinance and has recommended approval. As you are aware, the City Manager's
Office and Community Development Department have been working with the Opa-locka
CDC pursuant to City Resolution No. 11-8184, Habitat for Humanity and Commissioner
Barbara Jordan's Office. During these weekly meetings, Community Development
Department staff and the City Manager's Office have discovered that an overlay
ordinance is necessary to allow residential in commercial zoning districts and vice-
versa. This ordinance would allow mixed property uses within the Magnolia North area
that current ordinances do not.
While the B-O zoning district allows for residential and commercial uses to be
combined, it is limited, only allowing construction of up to two dwelling units per
property. A considerable amount of properties being sought after for revitalization have
incompatible zoning districts that will not allow a blending of uses or a higher residential
commercial mix of uses.
Other issues the proposed ordinance addresses are density, building setback, and
height.
Financial Impact:
Once the properties are rehabilitated or constructed, they would be placed back in the
residential housing market. The city would benefit from property tax, permit fees, etc.
Implementation Time Line:
Immediately
