PARKER Or G000 Cm MANAGER JIM GLEASON STAFF REPORT DATE: July 11, 2001 TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners/ FROM: Russ Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning Pi SUBJECT: Ordinance Pertaining to the Provision of Community Meeting Rooms in Residential Developments ISSUE: Should the Mayor and City Commissioners amend the Land Development Code to require the inclusion of Community Meeting Room space within residential developments of a certain size? BACKGROUND: The City Commission has discussed the need to promote adequate meeting room space within larger residential developments to enhance homeowner association functions. It was requested that language be added to the Land Development Code to establish specific standards for the provision of community room space proportionate to the size of the development. DISCUSSION: The attached ordinance adds provisions to the Land Development Code to ensure that an adequate amount of meeting room space is provided within residential developments to benefit the community and strengthen homeowner association functionality. Even though there have been many residential projects built within the community which provide meeting room space for their residents, many others have not, and these residents have had a hard time organizing homeowner activities when meetings have to be held remote from their subdivision. The proposed ordinance establishes a set procedure to establish community meeting room space with projects containing at least 100 residential units. The amount of space required increases proportionate to the number of residents with a maximum requirement of 1,000 square feet. POWWWWWWWt Prc§rt Ocrais vix,wHesou -2 _ Page 2 The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners July 11, 2001 PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: At their meeting on July 10, 2001, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a Public Hearing on the proposed ordinance pertaining to the provision of community meeting rooms in residential developments. There was no one from the public present to speak on this matter. Significant discussion ensued on the issue with the Planning and Zoning Commission voting 7-0 to recommend adoption of Ordinance No. 2001-19 with the following additional provisions: 1) that the ordinance should also pertain to all multi- family residential projects; and 2) that smaller projects from 51 - 100 units should be afforded a covered outdoor meeting space of at least 250 sq. ft. with an additional 5 sq. ft. of space for each additional residence in the development. The Planning and Zoning Commission also recommended that the ordinance be clarified to ensure that the community meeting rooms were to be permanent buildings meeting Uniform Building Code standards and that the numbers specified within unit categories be modified to match existing Land Development Code text. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners adopt Ordinance No. 2001-19 to amend the Land Development Code to require the provision of meeting room space within residential developments of a certain size consistent with the Planning and Zoning Commission recommendation.
