Subjew. Ordinance No. 05-,2017. amending the City of Cape Canaveral Comprehensive Plan
Future Land'use dement by establishing a policy to authorize the City Councdi 'to issues Vested
Rights Certificates vesting residential denside's: for certain existing c ondonunium, townhouse,
or other multi -family development projects that exceed the current maximum residential
densities established in the Comprehensive Plann.in accordance with the. term and conditions of
Land Development Regulations to be subsequently adopted by the City Council consistent with
this Ordinance; ,providing f w the repeal of prior inconsistW ordinances and resolutions,
severability, WOMPO atizstn into the Comprehensive Plan, an ef%tive date and legal status ofthe
Plan amendments, first reading.
Summary: As required by Florida Orowth M Agment k&latiion, the.Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Code establishes maximum residential density standar& for each of the City's
zoning districts. Currvatly, the maximum density allowed in the City for residential development
is 15 mots per acre. However, there exists in the City appm dmawy sixty (60) properties that
exceed this standard to varying degrees (sce Attachment 1). As a resstilt, these properties are
defit as non-coriformigg and are subject to certain Cowie limitations; notably, that if a non-
confolmittg structure is destroyed (defined as damage by any means such that the cost to rep ur
or reoo:struct exceeds 50 percent of the fair market value), the structure is required to meet
current Crocks -- i lud'mg density mquireiments ofth a underlying zoning district. This mayresult
in a situation that if a ton-cxmformrug structure were destroyed, all of the units cc d not be
rebuilt. This has resulted in underwriting issues for units for sale within the non -conforming
strUctures.
To address this situation, two ordinances have been prepared. Together; thesw, prerposed
ordImanc ` ill, Amend the Comprehensive Plan and Land Devaopumat Nation :(Lm) to
per ZA ft Clly Lout O to west preexisting residential condo, towobouse and otin+eir multi=fhmily
d velopmernt Mjects fid the iamaximurr residential density of 15 dwelling units per acre. The
cling provision is contaitned.in the Comprehensive Plan Ordinance (Ordinance No. { -,2017)
and will pride a vehicle to determine that certain residential densities (>15 drrtactre) are
consistent with the Comprehensive Plan withoutrevising the current established maximum
residential density limits. The second ordinance (O n mance No. 06-2017), implements tine new
Comprehensive Platz policy by amending the City's LDRs by Ming a process to vest eligible
residential projects.
These actions are being, taken to preserve individual property ligate and are administrative in
nature (City sponsored) as many of the affected properties aye separately owned. Condos wear
to be the heart of the problem based upon the: list of none -conforming properties Barred by the
Brevard County Property Appraiser's Off ice,
The City Managenr will be required to prepare a catalog of eligible properties for the City
ms 's consideration tiion beffore a vested rights certificate can be issued.
Other multi -family Irrojec ts, wbich do not have individually owned units, may be veld at the
discrCWn of the City Council by developmeent agreement, if the p werty owner proposes a
new, major redevelopment ptxoject for the subject qty. As prropoaed, the cordbuacx would
award a up to 100 percent ofihe preoxistina4tsi entiai

density, if an application is filed within 5 years of the adoption of the subject ordinarmv. If an
application is filed between 5 and 10 years of the adaption of the subject ordinance, up to 75
percent Of preexisting residential density could be rebuilt. After 10 years, up to 50 pest
of the preexisting density could be rebuilt This section is written as an economic incentive to
redevelop the subject property,
The proposed ordinances establish January 1, 2016 as the beacbmwk to determine which
projects are e1 11e fOr vesting, Projects reviewed atter this date were reviewed against the
density standard of 15 units per acre established by the City Codes.
The City's Pb Aning & ZOning Board re mended approval of Or4ka ce No. 45-2017 at its
March 22, 2i? 17 meeting., if oved by the City Council at first r+eadihng, the ordinance will be
transmitted to the Florida Dqwftent of Economic Opportunity for its review. Upon State
approval, an "adoption' public bearing will be scheduled before the City Council.

Item No. 8
SuNeet: Ordinance No. 06-2017; adopted to implement City Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Policy W-1.3.4; providing for an amendment to Chaptear 11$ of ft City Code to establish
a procedure and terms and conditions under which the City Council will determine whether to
grant and issue a Vested Rights Certificate vesting the residenthd densities of a completed
residential condominium, townhouse or other multi-faniflylepartment development projects
existing on January 1, 2016, providing for the repeal of prior ianconsistent ordinances and
resoluborn; incorporation tato the Code; severability and an effective date, first reading.
S urat `: As mquired by Florida Growth Management legislation, the City Comprehensive
Plan and Zoning Code establish maximum residential density standards for each of the City's
Zoning districtam. Currently, the maximum duty allowed in the City for residential development
is 1.5 units per am However, there exists in the City approximately sixty (60) properties that
exceed this surd to varying degrees (see Attachment 1). As a resutlt, thew properties are
defmrmed as non -conforming and are subject to certain tain Code limits notably, that if a non-
conforming structure is destroyed (defined as damage by any means such that the cost to repair
or reeoustroct exceeds 50 percent of the fair market value), dw structure is required to meet
cmmt codes — including density requirements of the underlying zoning district. This may result
in a situation that if a non -conforming structure was destroyed, all of the units could not be
guilt. This has resulted in underwriting issues for units for sale within the non -conforming
stracoires.
To address this situation, two ordinances have been prepared. To her, these ordinances will
amend the Comprehensive Plan and Land Development Regulations (ZDRs) to permit the City
Council to vest prwxisting residential condo, townhouse and oar multi family development
project from the maximum residential density of 15 dwelling units per am The enabling
provision is ootmtained in the Comprehensive Plan Ordina - (C 1. No. 05-2017) and will
provide a vehicle to determine that certain residential densities (>15 dmt%) are consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan wlthouut revising the current established, maximum residential density
limits. 7U second ordinance (Ord. No.. 06- 2017 -see Attachmtmont ), implem nu the now
Comprhmeansive Plan policy by amending the C;ity's LDRs by creating a process to vest elide
residonow projects.
Tlmese actions are being taken to preserve individual Property rights and ares administrative in
nature (City sponsored) as many of*c affected properties are separately owned. Condos afar
to be the heat of the problem based upon time list oafnon-conform mg properties prepared by the
Brevard County Property Appraiser's Office.
The City llammager will be required to prepare a catalog of eligible properties for the City
Couna`l's conside ratioxm before a vested rights certificate can be issued.
Clther .murlti -f redly projects, which don't have individually owned units, may be vel at the
di on of the City Council by development agreement, if the property owner proposes a
new, major redevelopment project for the subject property. As proposed, the ordinance would
award anew pesidentW or mixed use project with up to 100 percent of *e preexisting residential
density, if an application is .filed within 5 years of the adoption .of the subject ordinance. If an
application is filed between 5 and 10 yegs ofth 'on of limeJ ret ordinance, up to 75

percent of the preexisting residential density could be rebuilt. After 10 years, up to 50 percent
of the preexisting density could be rebuilt. This section is written as an gnomic incentive to
redevelop the subject property.
The proposed ordinances establish January 1, 2016 as the benchmark to determine which
projects are eligible for vesting. Projects reviewed after this date were reviewed against the
density standard of 15 units per acre established by the City Codes.
The City's Planning & Zoning Board recommended approval of Ordinance No. 06-2017 at its
March 22, 20) 7 meeting. For implementation purposes of Ordinance No. 05-2017, this becomes
effective immediately upon the adoption of Ordinance No. 05-2017.
