Summary Explanation/Background: The Town Commission will consider on first reading an ordinance amending the Town’s existing regulations for home occupations, to bring Town regulations into conformance with Florida statutes that were approved by the legislature in 2021. The proposed changes are detailed in the attached staff report. The Planning and Zoning Board held a Public Hearing on November 7 and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the ordinance to the Town Commission. Recommended Motion: I MOVE TO APPROVE THE ORDINANCE ON FIRST READING. 239 Item 10. TOWN OF LAKE PARK TOWN COMMISSION Public Hearing Meeting Date: December 7, 2022 STAFF REPORT Ordinance 240 Item 10. Background In 2021 the Florida Legislature adopted legislation affecting a local government’s ability to regulate home occupations. This is codified as FS section “559.955 Home-based businesses; local government restrictions”. (See Attachment A for statute) In summary, State law now prohibits local governments from regulating or restricting home-based businesses any different from other businesses in the local government’s jurisdiction, except as provided in the legislation. The legislation does include certain performance standards for neighborhood compatibility. Review of new ordinances adopted to address the legislation indicates that many communities are basically replacing their current language with that from the state statute itself. This includes West Palm Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. North Palm Beach has not yet amended its code. The Town’s ordinance, as proposed, would also basically utilize the state language, with minor additions to reflect Town ordinances. The current code section (Attachment C) would be repealed and replaced with the new text shown in Attachment B. The ordinance also contains amendments to two zoning districts to replace the term “home occupation” with “home-based business” for consistency with state statute. Analysis Major Differences between current code and proposed language The major differences between the Town’s existing regulations and those mandated by the state are listed below. Regulation Subject Town’s Current Code Proposed Code (per State Statute) Uses No retail sales, specific No prohibition on uses. uses listed as prohibited However residential character must be maintained. Restriction on Employees Must reside in home Resident + up to two non- residents Maximum area of 10 % No set limitation. However residence to be used must be secondary to the residential use 241 Item 10. Signage None, unless required by Per local code - state licensing law and Therefore, Town current maximum of 24 square restriction will carry inches forward. See attachment C for See attachment B for current Code proposed code Protections for the Neighborhood While the State clearly opened the door to a number of new types of home businesses, the legislation did include some safeguards for residential neighborhoods. This statutory language is shown below in blue italics. 1. Residential Appearance The following section of the statute can be broadly construed to protect residential neighborhood appearance, by requiring the following: “As viewed from the street, the use of the residential property is consistent with the uses of the residential areas that surround the property. External modifications made to a residential dwelling to accommodate a home-based business must conform to the residential character and architectural aesthetics of the neighborhood.” “The home-based business may not conduct retail transactions at a structure other than the residential dwelling” This statutory language, included in the Town’s proposed ordinance will serve as a major safeguard, insuring the continuing appearance of a residential neighborhood. In addition to retail transactions, the Town has added service transactions as well. 2. Parking The Town’s ability to control the type of uses that are allowed depends to a large degree on parking. The legislation states, “… the need for parking generated by the business may not be greater in volume than would normally be expected at a similar residence where no business is conducted.” Existing Town ordinances relating to parking in driveways and requiring hard surfaces for parking will serve to prohibit customers from parking on the grass. However, unless prohibited by Town Code or quantified, on-street parking would be enforced by making a determination that the volume of vehicles was exceeding what “would normally be expected at a similar residence where no business is conducted.” 242 Item 10. 3. Trucks The legislation states “Local governments may regulate the use of vehicles or trailers operated or parked at the business or on a street right-of-way, provided that such regulations are not more stringent than those for a residence where no business is conducted. ….. Local governments may regulate the parking or storage of heavy equipment at the business which is visible from the street or neighboring property. For purposes of this paragraph, the term heavy equipment means commercial, industrial, or agricultural vehicles, equipment, or machinery.” Therefore the Town will continue to enforce “Section 30-35 - Parking of commercial vehicles in residential districts” which dictates that: “Commercial vehicles in residential districts— Parking conditions. Commercial vehicles, with the exception of one taxicab, or high-capacity passenger van or work van, or standard vehicle with equipment or commercial signage as defined herein, shall not be parked, stored or left on any street, right-of-way, swale or alley or on any private property in any residential districts, except that commercial vehicles may be parked or stored in an enclosed garage on private property in a residence district when completely screened from public view.” 4. Nuisances such as noise, odors etc. The legislation allows the enforcement of local regulations in regards to noise, odors, etc. Sections 78-151 (C) 4. and 5. of the proposed code address this. (See attachment B. Overall Impact on Town Neighborhoods The above four sections in the statute provide the main tools to limit or prohibit certain uses that are not compatible with a residential neighborhood, and these have been included in the Town’s proposed ordinance. With the limitation on parking many of the uses that the Town currently prohibits would continue to be prohibited based on the parking volume they generate. Included for example would be uses such as restaurants and grocery stores, and high volume retail. Certain uses that are currently prohibited such as hair salons and barber shops could occur, with limited customers or appointment only. Retail uses such as a bakery or pick up orders deli might also occur. The requirement that business must be within the residence will eliminate uses that would negatively impact a neighborhood. The legislation does not supersede any current condominium declaration or any future declaration of condominium adopted pursuant to chapter 718. 243 Item 10. While it is not anticipated that there will be a large volume of requests for the new types of uses that will be allowable, the possibility that some businesses will not adhere to all the regulations exists and may require greater vigilance for code enforcement. While an impingement on home rule, the Town has no option but to comply with the State Statute. The proposed ordinance will accomplish that. The Town currently requires home businesses to have a business tax receipt from the Town, and this will continue. Legal Notice Legal Notice was provided via a display ad in the Palm Beach Post, which ran October 28, in accordance with state statute and the Town code for ordinances that change permitted uses in zoning districts. Planning and Zoning Board Recommendation The Planning and Zoning Board held a Public Hearing on November 7 and voted unanimously to recommend approval of the ordinance to the Town Commission.

The following box must Not applicable in this case RCF Paper: ____________ [ ] Not Required be filled out to be on agenda. Please initial one. Summary Explanation/Background: At the September 21, 2022 Commission Meeting, the Town Commission voted to terminate the Agreement for Tennis Center Management and Maintenance Service with Elite Sports and Recreation Management and move forward with a new Request for Proposal (RFP). The previous RFP in 2020 (see attachment) was for a tennis program only. However, the bidders were also given the option to provide an alternate proposal identifying a secondary proposed sport as well as the number of courts that will be used. The secondary proposed sport requirements included the use of at least one tennis court and had to be played using a racquet and/or paddle, including, but not limited to: Badminton, Pickleball and Soft 262 Item 12. Tennis. As a requirement of the previous agreement with Elite Sports and Recreation Management, the Town resurfaced and restriped the courts located in Kelsey and Lake Shore Park. Currently we have two (2) tennis courts located in Kelsey Park (for the general public) as well as two (2) tennis courts and eight (8) pickleball courts located in Lake Shore Park. At this time, staff would like direction from the Town Commission on the structure of the new RFP. All courts can be restriped to either tennis and/or pickleball courts for a nominal fee. RFP Options: 1. Leave the tennis and pickleball courts in their current condition and find a provider that can offer both a tennis and pickleball program. This would leave us with two (2) tennis courts in Kelsey Park (for the general public) as well as two (2) tennis courts and eight (8) pickleball courts in Lake Shore Park. 2. Restripe one (1) of the pickleball courts in Lake Shore Park, revert it to a tennis court and find a provider that can offer both a tennis and pickleball program. This would leave us with two (2) tennis courts in Kelsey Park (for the general public) as well as three (3) tennis courts and four (4) pickleball courts in Lake Shore Park. 3. Restripe all of the pickleball courts in Lake Shore Park and revert them to tennis courts and find a provider that can offer a tennis program only. This would leave us with two (2) tennis courts in Kelsey Park (for the general public) as well as four (4) tennis courts in Lake Shore Park. No pickleball courts will remain with this option. Recommended Motion: At the Town Commissions discretion based on the information provided. 263 Item 12. NEXT STEPS: TENNIS AND PICKLEBALL PROGRAM 1. Restripe the 2 tennis courts located in Kelsey Park and turn them into 8 pickleball courts.  All pickleball courts will be located in Kelsey Park.  This will assist with the noise complaints from the 801 building and limit play to daylight hours. 2. Restripe the 8 pickleball courts located in Lake Shore Park and turn them into tennis courts.  This will give us a total of 4 tennis courts. All of which, will be located in Lake Shore Park.  We will not have enough tennis courts for tournament play. However, staff has discussed the possibility of partnering with the County and City of Palm Beach Gardens to host tennis and pickleball tournaments at the Tennis and Pickleball Center located at The Gardens North District Park. 3. The Town will publish a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for qualified tennis and pickleball instructors to provide individual and group lessons.  The Town will choose which instructors will be allowed to provide lessons on the courts.  Each instructor will have to pay a fee to the Town to use the courts. We will have to determine if this will be a monthly fee or an hourly rate based on their usage.  Only those instructors that have been pre-qualified by the Town, will have the ability to teach tennis and pickleball lessons.  The contact information for each instructor will be provided on the Town’s website and posted at the tennis and pickleball courts along with instructions.  A customer satisfaction survey will be created by staff and provided to participants after each session. Town staff will use the survey to determine whether or not the instructors are providing adequate instruction. 4. We will not lock the gates to any Tennis or Pickleball Facility.  PBSO and staff will help patrol the area to make sure no damage occurs to the courts.  Staff has obtained a proposal to add additional surveillance cameras to all courts. The proposal includes the electrical work to power the cameras.  The Town will need to eventually hire a Parks Ranger to monitor both parks during normal operating hours. 5. The operating hours for the tennis courts will be from 6:30 am – 10:00 pm and the pickleball courts will be open from 6:30 am – 8:00 pm. 6. The operating hours for Kelsey Park and Lake Shore Park will remain open from 6:30 am – 10:00 pm. 7. We will set up an online system for players to reserve 50% of the available tennis courts (2 of 4) and 50% of the available pickleball courts (4 of 8) during specific dates/time periods.  We will send out a survey to all residents to determine what hours will be reserved for open play.  This is to be self-managed by the players with minimal intervention from Town Staff.  When a court is not reserved, the court remains available for open play until the date/time of the next reservation.  We should be able to do this with the recreation function of the software from Tyler Technologies. However, we may have to find a temporary solution first.  Reservations will be required two hours in advance.  PBSO will need access to account to verify the reservations. 264
