City Attorney Garganese read the entire summary for Item #2 as requested by Mr. Price.
Staff introduced the spreadsheet attached to the agenda packet regarding the 60
condominiums/townhouse projects that currently exceed the allowed density of 15/du acre.
Discussion ensued to include vested rights certificates; timeframes; difference between the two
ordinances; individually owned properties vs multi -family (not individually owned) and the
different processes involved.
City Attorney Garganese explained the strategy of drafting the ordinances and why the need for
two separated, processes are needed.
City Attorney Garganese explained the need for City Council to compile an inventory/catalog of
properties to consider that are eligible for vested rights certificates. Apartments would be
considered on a case-by-case basis when a property owner submits an application. Whereby,
creating an incentive to redevelop dilapidated properties.
Discussion ensued to include when the Comprehensive Plan was established; enforcement of the
Code when there is a violation; properties not in compliance; new properties adhering to the Code;
density regulation (15 units per acre); applying the Comprehensive Plan when properties are
destroyed; protecting property rights of individual property owners; vesting density; changing the
zoning/spot zoning; impact fees and definition of existing projects where CO's have been granted.
Mr. Price opened the meeting to the public at 6:56 p.m.
Hope Turner, a realtor for National Realty spoke regarding a condominium she has listed in Ocean
Park Condo North. Because of the density issue, she has not been able to sell the property. This
has created a hardship for her client. She is requesting the Board approve the recommended
ordinance.
