Title
AN ORDINANCE TO UPDATE CHAPTER 2 - ADMINISTRATION, CHAPTER 11 - DRAINAGE AND WATERWAY STRUCTURES, AND CHAPTER 35 - STREETS, SIDEWALKS, AND OTHER PUBLIC PLACES; DELETE CHAPTER 31 - PLATTING, SUBDIVISION AND OTHER LAND USE REGULATIONS, AND CREATE CHAPTER 40 - LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
BACKGROUND: The City of Margate has contacted services with Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. (CGA) for a code update. The focus of this project is to update the City’s land development regulations and zoning code. The project is split into phases. This ordinance represents Phase 1 of the project and consists of edits to the following code areas:
Chapter 2 - Administration
Chapter 11 - Drainage and Waterway Structures
Chapter 17 - Floodplain Management
Chapter 31 - Platting, Subdivision and Other Land Use Regulations
Chapter 35 - Streets, Sidewalks and Other Public Places
The Development Services Department (DSD) is overseeing this project and coordinating reviews with the Department of Environmental and Engineering Services (DEES), Building and Code Services Department, Public Works Department, Parks and Recreation Department, City Attorney’s Office, Police Department, and Fire Department.
After initial review and comment with CGA staff, the DEES department opted to proceed with updating Chapter 17 separately from Phase 1. This chapter was updated on July 14, 2021 through Ordinance 2021-8. DEES is currently working toward a second ordinance for this Chapter, thus it has been omitted from Phase 1 of the CGA project.
