Title
PZ-19-07 CONSIDERATION OF AN ORDINANCE TO PROHIBIT THE ESTABLISHMENT OF ANY NEW SELF-SERVICE STORAGE USES WITHIN THE CITY OF MARGATE
PETITIONER: CITY OF MARGATE
BACKGROUND: On November 16, 2016, the City Commission approved a six-month moratorium via Ordinance 2016-15 for the approval of any new self-storage or similar type uses within the City of Margate. A six-month extension to the existing six-month moratorium was approved on May 17, 2017 via Ordinance 2017-08 to provide for additional time for the City to consider potential changes to its Code pertaining to the impact of self-storage uses within the City of Margate.
At the August 23, 2017 City Commission Workshop, the City Commission directed staff to draft an ordinance to prohibit new self-service storage developments within the City due to a perceived saturation of the use.
RECOMMENDATION: The Development Review Committee (DRC) will review this item at the DRC meeting scheduled for September 26, 2017. Draft meeting minutes will be provided prior to the Planning and Zoning Board meeting.
FISCAL IMPACT:
