STAFF REPORT
DATE: August 7, 2000
TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
FROM: Russ Wagner, AICP, Director of Planning e/
SUBJECT: Proposed Amendment to the Land Development Code Pertaining to
Metal-Skinned Buildings
ISSUE:
Should the Mayor and City Commissioners amend Section 6-14(C)(4)(d) of Article VI of
the Land Development Code to permit metal-skinned buildings and structures within the
City of Ocoee?
BACKGROUND:
The City of Ocoee passed Ordinance No. 99-23 on June 1, 1999 upgrading the
Commercial and Industrial Development Regulations as part of the Ocoee Land
Development Code. Section 6-14(C)(4)(d) of the Land Development Code prohibits
metal-skinned buildings and structures which replicate typical warehouse construction.
This regulation was designed to upgrade construction standards and building esthetics
throughout the City and discourage marginal commercial and industrial uses.
DISCUSSION:
•
Since the upgraded standards for Commercial and Industrial Standards have been
enacted, Staff has worked with numerous builders to improve the architecture of their
projects to enhance the community. For the most part, commercial builders have had
little problem conforming to the provision of the Code prohibiting metal-skinned exteriors.
However, a number of smaller industrial builders have expressed concern about the 10-
20% cost differential between metal-skinned buildings and masonry-type buildings. (It
should be noted that pre-engineered metal buildings are still allowed by the current
ordinance, and that the Code only controls the exterior covering of the building.)

After evaluating this issue further, Staff believes that the intent of the current ordinance
should be preserved while allowing some cost savings on a portion of the building. As
proposed, the recommended amendment to this provision of the Code will only pertain to
structures within I-1 and 1-2 zones of the City. It requires that all portions of a building
fronting a public street as well as 20% of the side of the building still conform to the
current Code, but that the remainder of the structure can have metal siding.
The proposed amendment to the Code is as follows:
(i) Building exteriors shall primarily consist of masonry, stone, stucco, brick, split
face decorative block, glass or wood construction materials. Except as provided
in subsection (ii) below, metal-skinned buildings and structures and large
corrugated metal buildings (replicating typical warehouse construction methods)
are specifically prohibited.
(ii) Ne metal-skinned buildings or—structures-shame-permitter Specifi^ally large
r"," be prohibited In I-1 and 1-2 zoning districts, metal-skinned buildings and
structures are prohibited only with respect to (a) the front of a building or
structure, (b) the portion of a building or structure facing a public or private road,
and (c) twenty percent (20%) of each side of a building or structure not facing a
public or private road. In I-1 and 1-2 zoning districts, the rear of a building or
structure and 80 percent(80%) of each side of a building or structure not facing a
public or private road may be metal-skinned.
PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
At their regular meeting on July 11, 2000, the Planning and Zoning Commission held a
Public Hearing regarding the proposed amendment to the Land Development Code. No
one from the public appeared at the meeting; however, the Planning and Zoning
Commissioners discussed how the regulations would affect existing buildings being
renovated, why the change was being proposed, and whether metal buildings should be
restricted in residential areas. At the end of their deliberations, the Planning and Zoning
Commission voted 7-1 to recommend approval of the proposed amendment.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff respectfully recommends that the Mayor and City Commissioners adopt Ordinance
No. 2000-22 to amend building design standards within the current Land Development
Code.
