Body

 

 

BACKGROUND:                                          A new Florida law (HB 1285), took effect July 1, 2024, preempts local land use and zoning.  Allows private, charter and microschools to rent or buy a library, community service organization facility, museum, performing arts venue, theater, cinema or church (defined as a Place of Assembly by the Margate Unified Land Development Code) to house a school.  The proposed amendment to the Margate Code of Ordinances revises it to comply with the new law.  Additionally, refinements to the existing requirements for access, location, and parcel size are proposed.

 

 

RECOMMENDATION:                     Staff recommends approval.

 

                     Planning and Zoning Board recommended approval on October 1st, 2024, motion carried 5-0.

 

                     City Commission voted to approve the Ordinance on 1st reading at the October 16th, 2024, meeting, motion carried 4-1.
