C4G - Rezone 7605 Collins Ave

Committee Referrals - C4 G

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

RECOMMENDATION

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

Please place the above item on the City Commission meeting agenda as a referral to the Land Use and Sustainability Committee (“LUSC”). On March 31, 2024, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2024-32945, formally approving the purchase of the property at 7605 Collins Avenue (the “Property”). The Property is nestled in Altos Del Mar Park to the north, bounded by a RM-1 zoning district to the west, the North Shore Library to the south, and Collins Avenue to the east. The purchase of the Property was funded by the City’s Building Fund for the purpose of creating a North Beach Permitting Center with possible associated City services such as cashiering for parking and utility bills, and Code Compliance and/or Parking staff.

The Property is currently designated as RS, “Single Family Residential,” on the Future Land Use Map (“FLUM”) of the Comprehensive Plan. Any of the proposed uses currently under discussion would be inconsistent with the Property’s current FLUM designation. As such, I would like the LUSC to discuss changing the FLUM designation for the Property to PF, “Public Facility,” in order to facilitate the future use of the Property for the benefit of the public. As part of this referral, I request that the Planning Department advise whether any corresponding text amendments to the Comprehensive Plan are necessary.

Under the Land Development Regulations, any property purchased by the City automatically converts to GU, government use zoning. If this item is referred, I would also like the LUSC to consider a utility amendment to the zoning atlas to formally change the zoning district classification to GU.

As part of this item, I request that the City Commission waive by a 6/7 th vote the provisions of Resolution No. 2025-33496, and refer this matter directly to the Planning Board.
