02:32:00 Motion Whereas sheet:
Whereas a new planned development ordinance offers the opportunity for the City to be more flexible
in considering development proposals;
And whereas the City's needs with regard to development are constantly changing, as witnessed by the
recent explosion in housing demand;
And whereas the speed and impact of these changes are used in favor of increased flexibility for the City
in assessing development proposals;
And whereas the ordinance as proposed, fails to give sufficient weight to affordable housing while
ignoring development goals such as density, parks, and economic development;
And whereas the ordinance misses an opportunity to invite novel proposals from the nationwide
development community;
Now therefore the Community Development Board encourages the City Commission to amend the
proposed Planned Development Zones Ordinance, City Ordinance 2104, to further encourage the
submission of proposals from developers to the City, and more importantly, to grant substantial
additional flexibility to the City in considering novel development proposals. The board believes that
such additional flexibility could be obtained by amending Section 20 of the ordinance to delete specific
PDZ eligibility requirements, and replacing these with a more generally described reference to higher
priority community goals as determined annually by the City Commission, conforming limits to invite
developer ideas and to protect the City's legal interest would be required.
