R13-127 - EQUESTED CTION BY ITY OMMISSION Approve interlocal agreement between the City of Boynton Beach and Palm Beach County for Countywide Contractor Enrollment. ER: As part of the Six Pillars initiative to streamline the XPLANATION OF EQUEST permitting process, Palm Beach County’s Contractors Certification Division has proposed to implement a countywide contractor’s registration process. This new countywide process will simplify the process for Contractor’s by condensing to one location for registration and license maintenance, insurance, workers compensation coverage, local & county business tax, and authorized agent information. The centralization of the contractor registration process will save both time and money for all parties; as well as reduce vehicle miles driven as contractors will no longer have to drive to the thirty-eight (38) separate building departments to register. As an added benefit Palm Beach County will now require contractors to provide a current business tax license from local municipalities as a pre-requisite to registering. This will benefit the City as another check point to insure compliance with the City’s business tax regulations. Economic The proposed changes will partially fulfill one of the objectives outlined in the Development Initiatives & Implementation Plan adopted by the City Commission on October 18th, 2011. 11 of 487 Objective #17 - Review processes for improvements. a. Create an expeditious, streamlined process for expired/previously reviewed projects. b. Continue automation efforts to increase speed and accuracy of communications related to applications, reviews and completions. c. Expand options for administrative review to expedite development and reduce costs due to time delays. d. Continue efforts with the County to develop unified application and review processes for building related activity. H? By streamlining the contractor OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES registration process it will reduce paperwork and staff time in updating and maintaining license, insurance, workers compensation coverage, county business tax, and authorized agent information FI: The Building Division does not currently charge a fee for registration of ISCAL MPACT contractors so there will be no lost revenue. Additionally there will be no cost to the City as the contractors will pay a fee of $50 dollars to Palm Beach County for participation in the countywide contractor registration process A: Do not approve the interlocal agreement and continue to require all LTERNATIVES contractors to register with the Building Division. 12 of 487 RESOLUTION R13- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN PALM BEACH COUNTY AND THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH FOR THE CITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE COUNTYWIDE CONTRACTOR ENROLLMENT; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, the County currently enrolls state licensed construction contractors and certifies county construction contractors who wish to do business in unincorporated Palm Beach County; and WHEREAS, the County maintains records pertaining to state enrolled and county certified construction contractors including but not limited to the Contractor’s certificate of insurance worker’s compensation policy and/or exemption and business tax receipt; and WHEREAS , the City wishes to utilize the Contractor information obtained by the County in lieu of requiring Contractors to separately enroll with or obtain certification from the City to work within the municipal limits; and WHEREAS, the City Commission of the City of Boynton Beach upon recommendation of staff, deems it to be in the best interest of the citizens and residents of the City of Boynton Beach to authorize execution of the Interlocal Agreement with Palm Beach County to allow the City to participate in the Countywide Contractor Enrollment. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF BOYNTON BEACH, FLORIDA, THAT: Section 1. The foregoing "Whereas" clauses are hereby ratified and confirmed as being true and correct and are hereby made a specific part of this Resolution upon adoption hereof. Section 2.

This software maintenance is through the software vendor and does not lend itself to follow the City's competitive purchase guidelines; therefore the recommendation is to authorize this as a direct payment to the vendor as a sole source. ER: XPLANATION OF EQUEST The City of Boynton Beach’s Geographical Information System (GIS) is regarded as one of the most respected programs in Palm Beach County. It has been an integral part of the City’s communication and decision-making process and has proven to be a great return on investment over the years since being deployed. In order to keep up with the current demand of our customers for geospatial information, the GIS system requires an annual software maintenance contract that is kept current, providing continued support and system upgrades. We are currently utilizing ESRI ArcGIS Server software version 10.0, which is two point versions behind the currently available 10.2 system. Approval of the annual maintenance contract will ensure our ability to install the newest version of the ArcGIS system. The new software offers many features that will allow us to enhance the delivery of GIS services to our customers and the community through our web portal. In order to take advantage of these new features available in the new software release, assistance from ESRI consultants will be needed in order to:  Review and confirm of our hardware/software needs 23 of 487  Review dependencies, users, roles, and permissions for database access  Installation and configuration of ArcGIS Server software in our environment  Database migration, updating of map documents, and ad-hoc support  Additional ad-hoc support with application developers as time permits H? OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES The City’s GIS Department relies on the ESRI software to perform valuable mapping functions and services to numerous City departments. The GIS software is integrated with over 75% of the city’s departments and is relied heavily on our ability to ensure uptime and accurate data transfer. We currently have 24-hour by 7-day coverage response time for any problems or related issues. In the event that we suffer any component failures on one or both of these products our support contract provides optimal support to correct the issue and restore our communications ability to access the data. Without this coverage, the city would rely solely on the availability of our in-house staff to troubleshoot the issues due to non-technical support from ESRI. Support is not provided via phone support on these products even by a per incident request. This outage could cause us to loose valuable productivity time for many of our employees and emergency personnel who rely on those connected systems to perform their job duties. The price of one such downtime (in unproductive man-hours) would cover the cost of this maintenance contract. FI: ISCAL MPACT This is currently budgeted in our Software Maintenance account #001-1510-513-46-91. A: LTERNATIVES Forgo the annual maintenance contract and software updates and continue to utilize the current version. This would prevent our GIS department from offering up-to-date software features and services to our customers, and virtually eliminate the ability to obtain support from the developers. A future decision to reinstate the maintenance would require past years “catch up” payments with penalties, which could prove to be more costly than to stay “current”. 24 of 487 25 of 487 26 of 487 27 of 487 28 of 487 6.

City-initiated. ER: The proposed amendments are necessary for compliance XPLANATION OF EQUEST with requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Fair Housing Act (FHA). Title VIII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, is known as the Fair Housing Act. The Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to discriminate in the sale, rental, financing, or insurance of a dwelling, or in any other type of housing related transaction on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin, color, disability, or familial status (the presence of children under the age of 18 in the household). In addition, certain multifamily dwellings, constructed after 1991, are required to be accessible to persons with disabilities. With respect to the Fair Housing Act and the zoning and regulating of land use, the Fair Housing Act defines a dwelling to include “any building, structure, or portion thereof which is occupied as, or designed or intended for occupancy as, a residence by one or more families, and any vacant land which is offered for sale or lease for the construction or location thereon of any such building, structure, or portion thereof”. Therefore, decisions related to the development or use of such land may not be based upon the race, sex, religion, national origin, color, disability, or familial status of the residents or potential residents who may live in the dwelling. Most significantly, zoning ordinances may not contain provisions that treat uses such as affordable housing, supportive 363 of 487 housing, or group homes for people with disabilities differently than other similar uses. Further, municipalities may not enforce ordinances more strictly against housing occupied by members of the protected classes compared to the enforcement of ordinances applicable to housing occupied by the general population. Discrimination in zoning and land use regulation may also occur when an ordinance has direct or indirect harm or causes disproportional harm, to a protected group. Although zoning and land use is an area where municipalities have primary power, courts have consistently held that the Fair Housing Act prohibits local governments from exercising their zoning and land use powers in a discriminatory manner. In addition to prohibiting discrimination against persons with disabilities, the Fair Housing Act also makes it unlawful to refuse to make “reasonable accommodations”, or changes to rules, policies, practices, or services, when such accommodations are necessary to allow persons with disabilities an equal opportunity to use or enjoy a dwelling. Under the Fair Housing Act, an accommodation is considered “reasonable” if it does not impose an undue financial or administrative burden and if it does not fundamentally alter the zoning ordinance. Unless a municipality can prove that an accommodation request is unreasonable according to the above criteria, the municipality must grant the accommodation. The FHA and ADA covers all other physical and mental impairments, which means coverage goes well beyond what many typically think of as handicapped – persons in wheelchairs or the blind. Such persons may include alcoholics, the mentally ill, persons with learning disabilities and infirmities associated with old age. The ADA defines the term "disability” with respect to an individual as-- (A) a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of the major life activities of such individual; (B) a record of such an impairment; or (C) being regarded as having such an impairment. These regulations are consistent with Federal Law which provides an avenue for individuals and qualified entities who believe they were denied the use and enjoyment of property to appeal that determination. The proposed additions to the Land Development Regulations are principally process in substance, and are therefore being inserted into the Land Development Regulations, Chapter 2. Land Development Process. The new process would be listed in Chapter 2, Article I, Table 2-1, where in all processes administered by the Department are summarized, and inserted in its entirety in Chapter 2, Article II, Section 4.

The Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to discriminate in the sale, rental, financing, or insurance of a dwelling, or in any other type of housing related transaction on the basis of race, sex, religion, national origin, color, disability, or familial status (the presence of children under the age of 18 in the household). In addition, certain multifamily dwellings, constructed after 1991, are required to be accessible to persons with disabilities. With respect to the Fair Housing Act and the zoning and regulating of land use, the Fair Housing Act defines a dwelling to include “any building, structure, or portion thereof which is occupied as, or designed or intended for occupancy as, a residence by one or more families, and any vacant land which is offered for sale or lease for the construction or location thereon of any such building, structure, or portion thereof”. Therefore, decisions related to the development or use of such land may not be based upon the race, sex, religion, national origin, color, disability, or familial status of the residents or potential residents who may live in the dwelling. Similarly, a municipality may not make zoning or land use decisions based on public concerns over being affected by neighboring housing occupied by members of these protected classes. Most significantly, zoning ordinances may not contain provisions that treat uses such as affordable housing, supportive housing, or group homes for people with disabilities differently than other similar uses. Further, municipalities may not enforce ordinances more strictly against housing occupied by members of the protected classes compared to the enforcement of ordinances applicable to housing occupied the general population. Discrimination in zoning and land use regulation may also occur when an ordinance has direct or indirect harm or causes disproportional harm, to a protected group. Although zoning and land use is an area where municipalities have primary power, courts have consistently held that the Fair Housing Act prohibits local governments from exercising their zoning and land use powers in a discriminatory manner. In addition to prohibiting discrimination against persons with disabilities, the Fair Housing Act also makes it unlawful to refuse to make “reasonable accommodations”, or changes to rules, policies, practices, or services, when such accommodations are necessary to allow persons with disabilities an equal opportunity to use or enjoy a dwelling. Under the Fair Housing Act, an accommodation is considered “reasonable” if it does not impose an undue financial or administrative burden and if it does not fundamentally alter the zoning ordinance. Unless a municipality can prove that an accommodation request is unreasonable according to the above criteria, the municipality must grant the accommodation.

These regulations are consistent with Federal Law which provides an avenue for individuals and qualified entities who believe they were denied the use and enjoyment of property to appeal that determination. 373 of 487 ANALYSIS & PROPOSED AMENDMENTS The proposed additions to the Land Development Regulations are principally process in substance, and are therefore being inserted into Chapter 2. Land Development Process. The new process would be listed in Chapter 2, Article I, Table 2-1, where in all processes administered by the Department are summarized, and inserted in its entirety in Chapter 2, Article II, Section 4. Relief Regulations. This new process would represent the new subsection “F”, Requests for Accommodation. This new process to enable and guide requests for reasonable accommodation read as follows: Section F.Requests for Accommodation 1. General a. Purpose & Intent. The purpose of this section is to implement a procedure for processing requests for reasonable accommodation to the City’s Code of Ordinances, Land Development Regulations, Rules, Policies, and Procedures for persons with disabilities as provided by the federal Fair Housing Amendments Act (42 U.S.C. 3601, et. seq.) (“FHA”) and/or Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Amendments Act (42 U.S.C. Section 12131, et. seq.) (“ADA”). Applicability. b. Any person who is disabled, or qualifying entities, may request a reasonable accommodation with respect to the City’s Land Development Regulations, Code of Ordinances, rules, policies, practices and/or procedures as provided by the FHA and the ADA pursuant to the procedures set out in this ordinance. For purposes of this section, a “disabled person” is an individual that qualifies as disabled and/or handicapped under the FHA and/or ADA. The word “individual” shall include, for purposes of this section, multiple people, or qualified entities. c.Notice to the Public of Availability of Accommodation. The City shall endeavor to provide notice to the public, advising that a disabled person may request a Reasonable Accommodation. Such notice may include, but is not limited to, displaying a notice in the City’s public notice bulletin board and to maintain copies available for review in the Planning and Zoning Division, the Building Division, and the City Clerk’s Office upon request, and advising that the public disabled person may request a reasonable accommodation as provided herein. 2.Submittal Requirements. A request by an Applicant for reasonable accommodation under this section shall be either oral or written. A written request may be submitted by completion of a reasonable accommodation request form, which form is maintained by (and shall be submitted to) the Planning and Zoning (“P&Z”) Division of the Department of Development or other designee. The reasonable accommodation form shall contain such questions and requests for information as are necessary for processing the reasonable accommodation request. The reasonable accommodation request form shall be substantially in the form set forth in Subsection D, below. The following considerations shall be applicable for any application, information or documentation required: Confidential Information. a.Should the information submitted by the disabled person to the City include medical information or records, including records indicating the medical condition, diagnosis, or medical history of the disabled person, such disabled 374 of 487 person may, at the time of submitting such medical information, request that the City, to the extent allowed by law, treat such medical information as confidential information of the disabled person. The City shall thereafter endeavor to provide written notice to the disabled person and/or their representative, of any request received by the City for disclosure of the medical information or documentation which the disabled person has previously requested be treated as confidential by the City. The City will cooperate with the disabled person to the extent allowed by law, in actions initiated by such disabled person, to oppose the disclosure of such medical information or documentation, but the City shall have no obligation to initiate, prosecute or pursue any such action, or to incur any legal or other expenses (whether by retention of outside counsel or allocation of internal resources) in connection therewith, and may comply with any judicial order without prior notice to the disabled person. This subsection shall be subject to local, state, and federal revisions to privacy laws, including but not limited to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), as it may be amended from time to time. Address of Applicant/Address of Housing. b. Unless governed by 42 USC § 290dd, in which case the address shall not be required, the applicant may be requested to provide documentation to substantiate a claim for verifying applicability. Fee. c. There shall be no fee imposed by the City in connection with a request for reasonable accommodation under this section or an appeal of a determination on such request to the City Commission, and the City shall have no obligation to pay a requesting party’s, or an appealing party’s, as applicable, attorneys’ fees or costs in connection with the request, or an appeal. City Assistance. d. The City shall provide such assistance and accommodation as is required pursuant to FHA and ADA in connection with a disabled person’s request for reasonable accommodation, including, without limitation, assistance with reading application questions, responding to questions, completing the form, filing an appeal, and appearing at a hearing, to ensure the process is accessible. Findings for Reasonable Accommodation. e. (1) In determining whether the reasonable accommodation request shall be granted or denied, the requesting party shall be required to establish that they are protected under the FHA and/or ADA by demonstrating that they are handicapped or disabled, as defined in the FHA and/or ADA. Although the definition of disability is subject to judicial interpretation, for purposes of this ordinance the disabled individual must show: (i) a physical or mental impairment which substantially limits one or more major life activities; (ii) a record of having such impairment; or (iii) that they are regarded as having such impairment. (2) The requesting party will then have to demonstrate that the proposed accommodations sought by the requesting party are reasonable and necessary to afford handicapped and/or disabled persons equal opportunity to use and enjoy housing. 375 of 487 (3) The foregoing (as judicially interpreted) shall be the basis for a decision upon a reasonable accommodation request made by the applicant to the Planning & Zoning Director, or his/her designee, or by the Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals in the event of an appeal. Action by Appropriate City Official. f. A written determination shall be issued by the Planning Director, or his or her designee, within forty-five (45) days of receipt of an application determined to be sufficient. (1) If reasonably necessary to reach a determination on the request for reasonable accommodation, the Planning & Zoning Director, or his/her designee, may, prior to the end of said forty-five (45) day period, request additional information from the requesting party, specifying in sufficient detail what information is required. (2) The requesting party shall have fifteen (15) days after the date of the request for additional information to provide the requested information. In the event a request for additional information is made, the forty-five (45) day period to issue a written determination shall no longer be applicable, and the Planning & Zoning Director, or his/her designee, shall issue a written determination within thirty (30) days after receipt of the additional information. (3) If the requesting party fails to provide the requested additional information within said fifteen (15) day period, the Planning & Zoning Director, or his/her designee, shall issue a written notice advising that the requesting party had failed to timely submit the additional information and therefore the request for reasonable accommodation shall be deemed abandoned and/or withdrawn and no further action by the City with regard to said reasonable accommodation request shall be required. Notice of Proposed Decision. g. The Planning & Zoning Director, or his/her designee, shall have the authority to consider and act on requests for reasonable accommodation. When a reasonable accommodation request form has been completed and submitted to the Planning and Zoning Division, it will be referred to the Planning & Zoning Director, or his/her designee, for review and consideration. The Planning & Zoning Director, or his/her designee, shall issue a written determination within forty-five (45) days of the date of receipt of a completed application and may, in accordance with federal law: (1) grant the accommodation request; (2) grant a portion of the request and deny a portion of the request, and/or impose conditions upon the grant of the request; or (3) deny the request, in accordance with federal law. Any such denial shall be in writing and shall state the grounds therefore. All written determinations shall give notice of the right to appeal to the Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals. The notice of determination shall be sent to the requesting party, i.e. the disabled individual or his/her representative, by certified mail, return receipt requested. 376 of 487 Appeal. h. Within thirty (30) days after the Planning & Zoning Director, or his/her designee’s, determination on a reasonable accommodation request is mailed to the requesting party, such applicant may appeal the decision. All appeals shall contain a statement containing sufficient detail of the grounds for the appeal. Appeals shall be to the Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals which shall, after public notice to the parties and a public hearing for appeal, render a written determination as soon as reasonably practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after an appeal has been filed. The decision of the Building Board of Adjustment and Appeals shall be a final th determination, subject only to appeal by petition of certiorari to the Fifteenth (15) Judicial Circuit Court, pursuant to all applicable local and state laws and standards governing petitions for certiorari. Stay of Enforcement. i. While an application for reasonable accommodation, or anappeal of a determination of same, is pending before the City, the City will not enforce the subject zoning ordinance, rules, policies, and procedures against the applicant. 3.Request Form for Reasonable Accommodation. Contents of Reasonable Accommodation Request Form. a. The contents of a reasonable accommodation request form shall contain the following items, to the extent provided by law: (1) Name and contact information of the applicant (2) Description of property at which reasonable accommodation is requested, including the address of such location; (3) Description of the accommodation and the specific regulation(s) and/or procedure(s) from which accommodation is sought; (4) Reasons the accommodation may be necessary for the Applicant or the individuals with disabilities seeking the specific accommodation, and if relating to housing, why the requested reasonable accommodation is necessary to use and enjoy the housing; (5) Description of the qualifying disability or handicap; (6) Other relevant information pertaining to the disability or property that may be needed by the City in order for it to be able to evaluate the request for reasonable accommodation; (7) Signature of applicant; (8) Date of application. 4.

The WHP requires developers of projects with a residential component to set aside a certain percentage of units for low and moderate income households. Housing needs of very low-income households are not addressed. By the time the WHP was adopted, the residential real estate market in Palm Beach County had already been in a downturn for over two years, with prices steadily falling after their peak in November 2005. In mid-2013, the slump in the housing market started to recover, but median home prices are still considered low for this area. Development activity has also started to recover, with a few stalled residential projects either changing developers or able to secure the funding necessary to begin building. The rental housing market has also seen revitalization, with the majority of new construction focused primarily in this market area. Staff is closely monitoring the current rental market, and as a result of recent trends, is requesting extension of the WHP for an additional year to examine the changes and determine the appropriate amendments to the WHP ordinance. The requested extension would continue the suspension of 378 of 487 WHP requirements until December of 2014. This project will be added to the Management in Progress section of the 2014 Strategic Plan. H? The continuation of the suspension OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES of WHP will allow the City to complete its analysis of the local housing market to determine if any changes are needed to the WHP to adapt the program to today’s housing market trends and needs of the local workforce.

Applicant: City-initiated ER: Currently, the Land Development Regulations do not XPLANATION OF EQUEST recognize Showroom/Warehouse as a use within the Zoning Use Matrix, and such businesses are either treated as a retail business or a warehouse operation, depending upon the business characteristics. As a result, this type of business is often categorized with uses which are more intensive with respect to parking demand and traffic characteristics. Business attraction and retention are important to the health of the City; therefore, staff is proposing to create this new principal use to address market trends and more accurately classify and regulate it. Understanding that Showroom-type establishments have different operational characteristics than department stores and home improvement big box stores relative to the number of customers on the premises at any given point in time and thus the amount of parking required, the proposed amendment recommends the creation of a new principal use in the Use Matrix to recognize and regulate the use differently. Warehouse, Showroom (limited product line) would be defined as a showroom-type establishment in which the principal use consists of a showroom for large, space intensive items such as furniture, major appliances, flooring, mattresses, recreational vehicles or the like. These establishments generally have a single product line, which differentiates them from department stores, electronics stores, home improvement 390 of 487 stores and warehouse clubs in that they do not sell a wide range and mix of merchandise. Overall, staff believes this amendment would encourage and promote business and economic development, thereby furthering the City’s Economic Development initiatives. The Planning & Development Board reviewed this item at their September 24, 2013 meeting and recommended approval of the amendment. The Commission approved the ordinance on first reading at the November 5, 2013 meeting. Staff proposes two changes to the subject standards described in Exhibit A (attached hereto) to further the City’s effort to attract a national recreational vehicle business to a 104,000 square foot portion of a building that has been unoccupied for years. The first modification includes the removal of the requirement that would limit the number of rows of recreational vehicles that could be located between the building and a right-of-way (while retaining the minimum 90 foot setback from the right-of-way). The second modification would allow the warranty maintenance of house systems and essential components exclusive to recreational vehicles, as long as the maintenance is conducted indoors or screened from any right-of-way or adjacent property. If approved by the Commission, staff recommends that subject changes be inserted into Exhibit A of the ordinance for Second/Final Reading. H?

OVERVIEW The rewrite of the City’s land development regulations (LDR) allowed staff to perform a complete review and analysis of each standard, regulation, and process. As part of the post- adoption process, staff anticipates the periodic need for, and is prepared to expeditiously process, updates and amendments to the LDR for one or more of the following reasons or initiatives: 1. Business and economic development initiatives; 2. Sustainability initiatives; 3. Maintaining internal consistency; 4. Achieving regulatory compliance; and 5. Incorporating implementation feedback necessary to meet original or current objectives and vision. The proposed amendment would further items #1 business and economic development initiatives and #5 by adjusting existing regulations to achieve original or current objectives. ANALYSIS This proposed amendment was part of a previous round of Economic Development and Interim LDR Amendments (Part II), but were removed by staff prior to the Planning & Development Board hearing on May 28, 2013, in order to provide the newly-hired Economic Development Manager the time necessary to review all aspects of the proposed amendment and potentially 395 of 487 suggest changes. This review has been conducted and is forwarded in final format for review and approval. As noted in the previous staff report, the current code does not appropriately define this unique business, and staff’s interpretation of the proposed business activities/operations inaccurately categorizes this type of business with uses which are more intensive with respect to parking demand and traffic characteristics. Business attraction and retention are important to the health of the City; therefore, staff is proposing to create this new principal use to address market trends and more accurately classify and regulate it. Showroom/Warehouses Staff, in an effort to increase business opportunities for larger scale retailers and assist in facilitating the leasing of some of the vacant commercial and industrial spaces within the City, is suggesting amendments to the Land Development Regulations (LDR) involving new definitions that separates uses that were formerly grouped under major headings such as Merchandise, New and Warehousing. Understanding that Showroom-type establishments have different operational characteristics than department stores and home improvement big box stores relative to the number of customers on the premises at any given point in time and thus the amount of parking required, the proposed amendment recommends the creation of a new principal use in the Use Matrix to recognize and regulate the use differently. Warehouse, Showroom (limited product line) would be defined as a showroom-type establishment in which the principal use consists of a showroom for large, space intensive items such as furniture, major appliances, flooring, mattresses, recreational vehicles or the like. These establishments generally have a single product line, which differentiates them from department stores, electronics stores, home improvement stores and warehouse clubs in that they do not sell a wide range and mix of merchandise. Parking for this particular use would be one (1) parking space per each 500 square feet of gross floor area for the first 10,000 square feet and one (1) parking space for each 1,000 square feet thereafter, rather than being grouped in with typical retail uses at one (1) parking space for each 200 square feet, again based upon the lower volume of customer traffic associated with the limited product line. CONCLUSION / RECOMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of the proposed code amendment. Overall, this amendment encourages and promotes business/economic development, thereby furthering the City’s Economic Development initiatives.

These codes regulate Backflow Prevention and, Oil and Grease Management programs; the revision will be effective December 1, 2013. ER: The Florida Administrative Code, 62-555-360(2), requires XPLANATION OF EQUEST community water systems to establish a backflow prevention program that will protect the public’s drinking water system from cross-connection and backflow of contaminants into the potable drinking water. The amendment clarifies the purpose of the backflow prevention program and reflects changes to the State Administrative. Furthermore, it incorporates the application and administration of backflow prevention devices on the use of fire hydrants. This approach will strengthen the protection of public health by requiring the installation of backflow prevention devices on all public uses of fire hydrants. The Florida Plumbing Code requires the implementation of an oil and grease management program to prevent the discharge of oil, grease or other hazardous wastes to the collection system. The amendment will provide improved guidance to current and future wastewater producers. H? The Amendment will set much OW WILL THIS AFFECT CITY PROGRAMS OR SERVICES clearer direction and expectation for the City’s Backflow Prevention and Oil and Grease Management programs.
