12
13 It was determined that Public Comment would be heard following the Staff presentation
14 on tonight’s Item.
15
16 VI. PUBLIC HEARING
17
18 a. Amendment to the City of Wilton Manors’ Comprehensive Plan to add 1,000
19 dwelling units within the Transit Oriented Corridor (TOC) land use
20 designation and allow for double the maximum number of dwelling units for
21 hotel, motel, or similar lodging units and adult living facilities in the Future
22 Land Use Element; and the addition of a Property Rights Element.
23
24 City Planner Evy Kalus showed a PowerPoint presentation on the proposed Amendment,
25 explaining that the following changes are proposed:
26 • Amend the Future Land Use Element to increase the permitted maximum number
27 of dwelling units from six hundred twenty-two (622) to one thousand six hundred
28 twenty-two (1622) in the Transit-Oriented Corridor (TOC) land use designation
29 • Amend the Future Land Use Element to allow for double density for hotel units and
30 for special residential facility Category 3 development; this would count as one (1)
31 dwelling unit for every two (2) sleeping rooms, regardless of the number of kitchens
32 or baths per gross acre in the Future Land Use Element
33 • Addition of a new Property Rights Element
34
35 Planner Kalus advised that the first Amendment increases the overall permitted number
36 of dwelling units by one thousand (1000). This will allow an increase from three hundred
37 eighty-two (382) mid-rise units to one thousand three hundred eighty-two (1382). It will
38 allow for the allocation of all dwelling units in the TOC land use designation by right,
39 without the allocation of flexibility and/or redevelopment units. The proposed Amendment
40 will not change the maximum density of sixty (60) units per gross acre or the boundary of
41 the TOC.
42
43 Planner Kalus referred the Board members to a table showing the current and proposed
44 permitted land uses within the TOC. She pointed out that the six hundred twenty-two (622)
Page 5 of 45
Wilton Manors – Planning & Zoning
June 13, 2022
Page 3
1 units include one hundred three (103) dwelling units added by the City Commission per
2 Ordinance 2020-13 on June 22, 2021. There are three hundred sixty (360) flex units
3 available in the Urban Center Mixed-Use District, including the Wilton Arts and
4 Entertainment (WAE) district, TOC, and TOC-West (TOC-W).
5
6 There are fifty-four (54) reserve units available City-wide, thirty-eight (38) of which are
7 affordable housing flex units, two (2) of which are affordable housing Urban Center Mixed-
8 Use flex units, and fourteen (14) affordable housing reserve units. Flex reserve units are
9 allocated by the City Commission on a first come, first served basis.
10
11 The double density Amendment addressing hotel and special residential facility units
12 would allow for a dwelling unit to be equivalent to two (2) hotel rooms. A special residential
13 facility allows for one (1) dwelling unit for every two (2) sleeping rooms, regardless of the
14 number of kitchens or baths. Planner Kalus offered the example of an adult living facility
15 with shared uses, such as cafeterias, some bathrooms, and smaller kitchen facilities, as
16 an example of a special residential facility. Densities for these units would be capped
17 based upon the number of sleeping rooms. The proposed Amendment would be
18 consistent with Broward County’s Comprehensive Plan, known as Broward Next.
19
20 The third Amendment would add a Property Rights Element. This requirement was signed
21 into law in 2021 by the Governor of Florida. The Amendment requires that local
22 governments adopt this Element into their Comprehensive Plans and acknowledge
23 constitutionally protected property rights, which include the following:
24 • Physical possession and controlled interest in property, including easements,
25 leases, and mineral rights
26 • Right to sue, maintain, develop, and improve property for personal use subject to
27 state law and local ordinances
28 • To exclude others from the property to protect the owner’s possessions or property
29 • To dispose of the property through sale or gifts
30
31 The Amendment was recommended for approval by the City’s Development Review
32 Committee (DRC) on June 2, 2022.
33
34 Chair Safaty noted that Vice Mayor Paul Rolli was present at tonight’s meeting.
35
36 At this time Chair Safaty opened public comment.
37
38 Ray Carrier, 2048 NE 6 Terrace, expressed concern with major capital improvement
39 projects carried out by the City, including infrastructure projects. He pointed out that the
40 addition of landscaping on Wilton Drive has taken over four years. He was also concerned
41 with wastewater and stormwater management, pointing out that there are no “shovel-
42 ready” projects of this nature. While he did not object to the proposed Amendments, he
43 felt the addition of one thousand (1000) units was premature until it is certain that the
44 City’s existing infrastructure is sufficient to the needs this addition would bring.

2 comment.
3
4 Board Member Moses asked how many units were currently proposed by forthcoming
5 projects. Community Development Services Director Roberta Moore replied that there
6 are two (2) residential projects presently underway, one of which is located within the TOC
7 and proposes one hundred ninety (190) residential units on an approximately eight
8 thousand (8000) square foot development. The other project is ten thousand (10,000)
9 square feet in size and proposes three hundred twenty (320) multi-family residential units.
10 A third project outside the TOC is currently going through DRC review and requests two
11 hundred fifty (250) multi-family units. There are no commercial projects currently in
12 development.
13
14 Director Moore also addressed the concern for the City’s infrastructure raised during
15 Public Comment, stating that the City has analyzed its infrastructure capabilities and
16 expects to be able to accommodate an additional one thousand (1000) units. She
17 emphasized that every application must go through this analysis and sufficient capability
18 must be demonstrated in order for a project to advance.
19
20 Board Member Ferraro asked if the Community Development Services Department
21 reviews the surrounding area for a proposed project as well as the project itself in order
22 to determine system capability. Director Moore confirmed this is done, noting that an
23 internal group has been created for this purpose. They review adequacy within the subject
24 area, including traffic conditions as well as water/wastewater/stormwater infrastructure.
25 These analyses are performed whenever a development is proposed. The possibility of
26 flooding is also reviewed as part of the Site Plan process.
27
28 Director Moore also clarified that the TOC-W is a separate zoning district from the other
29 TOC.
30
31 Board Member Walker asked if the City’s existing systems would be able to accommodate
32 more than the proposed one thousand (1000) units to be added. Director Moore replied
33 that based on the professional judgments of Staff, the City can accommodate more than
34 these one thousand (1000) units. While she did not have full information on hand
35 regarding the additional capacity the City’s sewer system can handle, she pointed out
36 that the City’s Emergency Management/Utilities Department is looking into this to
37 determine how some of the existing issues may be addressed.
38
39 Chair Safaty asked if the additional impacts of stormwater runoff will be addressed once
40 the proposed projects have been built. Director Moore confirmed this. She also
41 emphasized that because of the importance of drainage and runoff issues to City
42 residents, both Board members and members of the public are encouraged to ask
43 questions to developers about these systems when they come before the Board.

1 Chair Safaty also asked if the addition of one thousand (1000) new units will affect the
2 City’s levels of service, including those associated with traffic. Director Moore replied that
3 appropriate levels of service would still be met.
4
5 Vice Chair Molinet asked if the developers of new projects are required to include the
6 mitigation of wastewater as part of these projects, including the use of technologies such
7 as injection wells. Director Moore noted that there are existing developments within the
8 City which use this technology, providing for underground drainage in some cases.
9
10 Vice Chair Molinet also expressed concern that the TOC-East does not currently have the
11 same level of opportunity for commercial development to activate that community. He was
12 concerned that the result of development in this and other areas outside the TOC-W might
13 result in a canyon effect on some corridors. Director Moore advised that the City’s
14 Economic Development Division is working with businesses which may be interested in
15 relocation.
16
17 Board Member D’Arminio suggested that Staff review the conditions that existed when
18 Article 30 was adopted. He pointed out that the City’s current minimum residential unit
19 size is six hundred (600) square feet, and emphasized the importance of promoting the
20 development of smaller units.
21
22 Motion made by Vice Chair Molinet, seconded by Board Member Moses, to approve,
23 subject to the inclusion of a letter confirming the City’s adequacy to accommodate more
24 units. In a voice vote, the motion passed unanimously.

COMMISSION AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: Monday, August 8, 2022
From: Roberta Moore, Community Development Services Director
Prepared by: Evangeline Kalus, City Planner
(a) Subject: Article 105 of the City’s Unified Land Development Regulations related to
“Conditional Uses”.
(b) City Manager Recommendation:
(c) Report In Brief: Pursuant to Article 105 of the City’s Unified Land Development Regulations (ULDRs),
conditional uses may be compatible with other land uses permitted within a zoning district, but due to their
unique characteristics and potential impacts on the surrounding neighborhood and the City as a whole, they
require individual review of their location, design, configuration, and/or operation in order to ensure that the
use is appropriate at a particular location. The Planning and Zoning Board determines whether the
proposed use is consistent with standards of review found in the Article.
(d) Discussion: Article 105 entitled “Conditional Uses” of the City’s Unified Land Development Regulations
(ULDRs) describes the conditional use approval process. The conditional use process requires a public
hearing, notification of property owners within 300 feet of the subject parcel, and a determination of
approval, approval with conditions, or denial by the Planning and Zoning Board. Any use that is considered
“conditional” is identified with a “C” in the permitted and prohibited use table for the appropriate zoning
district. The Planning and Zoning Board's determination is based on standards of review that include, but are
not limited to, consistency with the City's Comprehensive Plan; the proposed use shall not be detrimental to
the public welfare; the proposed use shall not diminish the use and property value of other property in the
immediate neighborhood; proposed use shall be consistent with the community character, and the proposed
use shall limit adverse impacts to adjacent properties.
(e) Strategic Plan Consistency: Strategic Plan 2021-2026: Goal B – Promote Economic
Development and Goal C – Enhance Quality of Life and Livability.

DATE: August 8, 2022
RE: Article 105 of the City’s Unified Land Development Regulations related to “Conditional
Uses”.
________________________________________________________________________________
Article 105 entitled “Conditional Uses” of the City’s Unified Land Development Regulations (ULDRs)
describes the conditional use approval process. Conditional uses may be compatible with other land
uses permitted within a zoning district, but due to their unique characteristics and potential impacts on
the surrounding neighborhood and City as a whole, require individual review of their location, design,
configuration, and/or operation in order to ensure that the use is appropriate at a particular location.
Any use that is considered “conditional” is identified with a “C” in the permitted and prohibited use
table for the appropriate zoning district. For example, a “bed and breakfast dwelling” is considered a
conditional use with specific use provisions within the RS-5 (Single-Family Residential), RD-10 (Two-
Family Duplex Residential), RM-10 (Multi-Family Residential), RM-12 (Multi-Family Residential), and
RM-16 zoning districts (Multi-Family Residential) zoning districts and a “coffee shop/tea house” is
considered a conditional use in the WDAE (Wilton Drive Arts and Entertainment District), TOC-E
(Transit Oriented Corridor East), TOC-N (Transit Oriented Corridor North), TOC-S (Transit Oriented
Corridor South), and TOC-W (Transit Oriented Corridor West) zoning districts.
This Article includes, but is not limited to,
Section 105-020 – Applicability
No use designated as a conditional use can receive an approval under the provisions of this
Article until the property and/or building receive a Certificate of Compliance, a Determination of
Level of Service Compliance, a Building Permit, a Certificate of Occupancy, and/or a local
business tax receipt, as applicable, pursuant to the requirements of this Article.
Section 105-030 – Supplemental application requirements
A site plan meeting the requirements of Article 085 of the City’s ULDRs.
Any other information as may be required for a determination of the nature of the proposed use
and its consistency with the Comprehensive Plan, and effect on the surrounding properties and
neighborhood.
This is in addition to the general application requirements found in Article 065 of the ULDRs
which include, but are not limited to, owner’s and agent’s name, contact information, agent and
Page 1 of 3
Page 11 of 45
property owner notarized authorization, proof of ownership, legal description, signed and
sealed survey current within two (2) years, and description and justification of request.
Section 105-040 – Application processing and review
The Community Development Services Director shall forward copies of the complete
application to the Development Review Committee for review to determine whether the
conditional use complies with these regulations, and whether conditions of approval are
recommended in order to mitigate concerns related to the conditional use criteria found in this
Article.
The Planning and Zoning Board shall establish a public hearing pursuant to the quasi-judicial
public hearing procedures of Article 075 of the City’s ULDRs to consider public testimony, if
any, and the staff recommendation, and based upon the criteria for review in this Article, shall
deny, approve or approve application with conditions as it deems necessary to have the
proposed use meet the standard set forth in the review criteria, below, and to prevent or
minimize adverse effects on other property in the neighborhood.
Conditions may include, but are not limited to: limitations on size, bulk and location; duration of
construction period; signage; requirements for landscaping and other screening, outdoor
lighting, and the provision of adequate ingress and egress; duration of the approval; hours of
operation; and the mitigation of environmental impacts. Conditions may be imposed for a
specific period of time, after which time the condition shall expire and the obligations of the
applicant pertaining to such condition shall automatically terminate.
The criteria or standards of review are as follows:
a. The proposed use shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
b. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the proposed use shall not be
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety, comfort, or general welfare.
c. The proposed use shall not diminish the use or enjoyment of other property in the
immediate neighborhood for the purposes permitted in the district.
d. The establishment of the conditional use shall not impede the normal and orderly
development and improvement of surrounding properties for uses permitted in the
zoning district.
e. The proposed use shall not diminish property values in the neighborhood.
f. Adequate utilities, road access, drainage, and other necessary facilities already exist,
shall be provided by the applicant, or are programmed to serve the proposed use.
g. Adequate measures already exist or shall be taken to provide ingress and egress to the
proposed use in a manner that minimizes traffic congestion in the public streets, and to
provide safe and adequate pedestrian and vehicular circulation.
h. The proposed use shall be consistent with the community character of the immediate
neighborhood of the proposed development.
i. Development of the proposed use shall not adversely affect a known archaeological,
historical, or cultural resource located on or off the parcel proposed for development.
j. The design of the proposed use shall minimize adverse effects, including visual
impacts, of the proposed use on adjacent property.
k. The applicant has the financial and technical capacity to complete, operate, and
maintain the conditional use as proposed and has made adequate legal provisions to
guarantee the provision, development and maintenance of any buffers, landscaping,
public open space, and other improvements associated with the proposed use.
l. The proposed use shall meet all other standards or requirements set forth in the ULDR
that apply to that use in the zoning district in which it is located.
In each case where the Planning and Zoning Board take action for a conditional use, the
decisions of the Planning and Zoning Board shall be recorded in the meeting minutes, and
Page 2 of 3
Page 12 of 45
thereafter an order shall be prepared and entered into evidence of the decisions, which shall
set out with sufficient clarity the exact legal description of the land and premises affected, and
the decision, including conditions, made by the Planning and Zoning Board. Once (1) copy of
the order shall be kept by the City Clerk, one (1) copy shall be kept by the Community
Development Services Department and one (1) copy shall be forwarded to the applicant.
Section 105-050 – Effect of conditional use approval; expiration
The approval of a conditional use request, unless otherwise provided by the Planning and
Zoning Board approval, shall become null and void unless a development permit (if required
for use or occupancy) pursuant thereto is issued within twelve (12) months of the date of any
such action by the Planning and Zoning Board, and construction or use of the premises is
underway. The Community Development Services Director may grant one (1), four (4) month
extension upon receipt of a request for extension from the applicant, prior to the twelve (12)
month expiration, stating the reasons for the request.
Whenever the Planning and Zoning Board has acted upon a conditional use for property,
whether approved or denied, the Planning and Zoning Board shall not thereafter consider any
further application for the same or any other kind of conditional use for any part or all of the
same property for a period of one (1) year from the date of approval or denial by the Planning
and Zoning Board. The above time limits may be waived by a majority vote of the Planning and
Zoning Board when the Planning and Zoning Board deems such action necessary to prevent
injustice or to facilitate the proper development of the City.
Permits issued under a conditional use approval shall be revoked by the Community
Development Services Director in the case of failure to comply with conditions of approval or
applicable regulations.
Any discontinuation of an approved conditional use for a period of one hundred eighty (180)
consecutive days shall constitute abandonment, and shall rescind the approval of the
conditional use.
Section 105-060 – Amendments and alterations to approved conditional uses.
Any modifications to an approved conditional use and any addition to or expansion of an
existing conditional use shall require the same application, review and approval as required
under this Article for the original approval of the conditional use, except for minor changes.
Minor changes in the site plan or design details of an approved conditional use which are
consistent with the standards and conditions applying to the conditional use and which do not
result in additional external impacts, including but not limited to, a minor shift in the location of
a building or structure, the realignment of parking spaces and aisles, and the relocation of a
driveway, may be approved by the Director.

Article 105 of the City’s Unified
Land Development Regulations –
“Conditional Uses”

Planning and Zoning Board Meeting
Page 17 of 45
Introduction
• Article 105 entitled “Conditional Uses” of the City’s Unified Land
Development Regulations (ULDRs) describes the conditional use
approval process.
• Conditional uses may be compatible with other land uses permitted
within a zoning district, but due to their unique characteristics and
potential impacts on the surrounding neighborhood and City as a
whole, require individual review of their location, design,
configuration, and/or operation in order to ensure that the use is
appropriate at a particular location.
• Any use that is considered “conditional” is identified with a “C” in
the permitted and prohibited use table for the appropriate zoning
district.
• The following slides are examples of “conditional uses” within the
City’s zoning districts.

MEETING DATE: Monday, August 8, 2022
From: Roberta Moore, Community Development Services Director
Prepared by: Evangeline Kalus, City Planner
(a) Subject: Article 120 of the City’s Unified Land Development Regulations related to
“Variances”.
(b) City Manager Recommendation:
(c) Report In Brief: Article 120 of the City's ULDRs describes the regulations associated with the
processing of "Variances". The Article stipulates that variances may be granted by the Planning and Zoning
Board only in the case of an undue hardship caused by special circumstances related to the property for
which the variance is sought, whereby the strict application of these regulations would deprive the applicant
of reasonable use of the land or building. The Article details the criteria that the Planning and Zoning Board
utilizes to determine whether the variance may be approved, approved with conditions, or denied.
(d) Discussion: Article 120 entitled “Variances” of the City’s Unified Land Development Regulations
(ULDRs) provides for regulations for the processing and approval of variances. Variances require notice of
property owners within 300 feet of the subject parcel, a public hearing, and an approval, approval with
conditions, or a denial granted by the Planning and Zoning Board based on criteria detailed in the Article.
Article 120 of the ULDRs stipulates that variances may be granted by the Planning and Zoning Board only in
the case of an undue hardship not self-created caused by special circumstances unique to the land or
building for which the variance is sought, the least variance necessary to have reasonable use of the land or
building, and the granting of the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose of the Article and the
variance will not be injurious to the neighborhood or detrimental to public welfare.

RE: Article 120 of the City’s Unified Land Development Regulations related to “Variances”.
________________________________________________________________________________
Article 120 entitled “Variances” of the City’s Unified Land Development Regulations (ULDRs) provides
for regulations for the processing and approval of variances for any provision of the ULDRs unless
otherwise indicated. The ULDRs stipulate that variances may be granted by the Planning and Zoning
Board only in the case of an undue hardship caused by special circumstances related to the property
for which the variance is sought, whereby the strict application of these regulations would deprive the
applicant of reasonable use of the land or building.
The Article includes, but is not limited to:

The Planning and Zoning Board may grant a variance for any provision of the ULDRs unless
otherwise indicated by provisions of these regulations.
The Planning and Zoning Board is not authorized to review or grant variances which include a

or not the variance will be granted, pursuant to Article 175 of the ULDRs.
Section 120-020 – Supplemental application requirements
A site plan showing the proposed improvement as it would be constructed if the variance is
granted.

property owner notarized authorization, proof of ownership, legal description, signed and
sealed survey current within two (2) years, and description and justification of request.
Section 120-030 – Variance application procedure

recommendation and public input, if any, may deny, approve or approved with conditions the
application for variance, based on its determination of the following:
Page 1 of 2
Page 35 of 45
a. There are special circumstances or conditions applying to the land or building for
which the variance is sought, which circumstances or conditions are peculiar to such
land or building and do not apply generally to land or buildings in the same district,
and that said circumstances or conditions are such that the strict application of the
provisions of this chapter would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of such
land or building for which the variance is sought, and that alleged hardship is not self-
created by any person having an interest in the property.
b. The granting of the variance is necessary for the reasonable use of the land or
building and that the variance as requested is the minimum variance that will
accomplish this purpose.
c. The granting the variance will be in harmony with the general purpose and intent of
this chapter and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or otherwise detrimental to
the public welfare.
Approval of variance request shall become null and void unless a development permit
pursuant thereto is issued within twelve (12 months) of the date of approval of the variance
by the Planning and Zoning Board.
The Planning and Zoning Board’s decision shall be recorded in the minutes of its meeting,
and thereafter the City Clerk shall prepare, an order to be entered to evidence the decision,
which shall set out with sufficient clarity the exact right and privilege given, a correct legal
description of the land and the premises affected, and the decision made by the Planning
and Zoning Board. One (1) copy of the order shall be kept by the City Clerk to become public
record, one (1) copy shall be provided to the Community Development Services Department,
and one (1) copy forwarded to the applicant.
Whenever the Planning and Zoning Board has acted upon a variance for property, whether
approved or denied, the Planning and Zoning Board shall not thereafter consider any further
application for the same or any other kind of variance for any part or all of the same property
for a period of one (1) year. The above time limits may be waived by a majority vote of the
board when the board deems such action necessary to prevent injustice or to facilitate the
proper development of the City.
