The proposed Ordinance is to essentially create a subsection 24-172.1 entitled “Administrative Site Plan Review,” to allow the Community Development Department Planning & Zoning Division to administratively approve minor site plan modifications and to reduce the time it takes to process applications and increase redevelopment and renovation activity which will improve economic and aesthetics of the City.

The creation of the “Administrative Site Plan Review” section will also provide criteria for reviewing public entity owned parcels which may be exempt from some or all local zoning regulations, and for City owned and operated public properties.

The Planning and Zoning Board of the City of North Miami Beach, sitting as the Local Planning Authority, considered this item at a public meeting on February 13, 2023, and voted 6 to 0 recommending approval of the proposed text amendment, finding the request and approval thereof is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and meets the criteria set forth in the ZLDC.
