AN ORDINANCE OF THE VILLAGE OF KEY BISCAYNE, FLORIDA,
COMPREHENSIVELY UPDATING AND REVISING CHAPTER 30, "ZONING AND LAND
DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS" BASED UPON THE ZONING ORDINANCE REVIEW
COMMITTEE'S (ZORC) RECOMMENDATIONS; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY;

The Manager and Building, Zoning and Planning Director Jud Kurlancheek addressed the Council
recommending the adoption of the ordinance revising Chapter 30, "Zoning and Land Development
Regulations" based upon the recommendations by the Zoning Ordinance Review Committee.
Staff is recommending that the changes recommended by ZORC be approved with the exception of
the following: 1.) Any change to the definitions. The recommended changes add clarity but are not
necessary. Staff, architects, and residents have been using these definitions for the past ten (10)
years. There is an understanding in the architectural community of how these terms are interpreted
and applied. Several of the changes to the definitions moved regulatory language from the
2 of 9
June 22, 2010
definitions to other sections. It is recommended these changes not be approved as relocating them
back to the definitions results in a complete definition for each term; 2.) The permitted uses in the
C-1 Commercial District were amended to include "Hotel", the height limit was increased from 50
ft. to 100 ft., and the FAR limit was increased from .50 to 1.0. These changes affect the entry block,
the Harbor Plaza Shopping Center (7-11) and the Galleria. As these properties do not have access
to the Ocean, it is highly unlikely a hotel is feasible now or in the foreseeable future. Presently, there
is no proposal to develop a hotel on these properties and 3.) The permitted uses in the Institutional
District (church properties) were amended to include "places dedicated to historical or cultural
functions". This was done to accommodate the possibility of moving a historic home on property
that is owned by one of the churches. The home would be used for historical or cultural purposes.
To date, there is no proposal or agreement by any church to accommodate this activity.
