Staff Planner, Long -Range Planning <br />It is requested that the data herein presented be given formal <br />consideration by the Board of County Commissioners at their <br />regular meeting of April 16, 1986. <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />On March 19, 1986, the Board of County Commissioners adopted <br />Ordinance #86-23 which reestablished minimum square footage <br />requirements for hotels and motels in the new commercial zoning <br />districts which allow hotels and motels. At that time, the <br />Board questioned the 300 square foot minimum for hotel and <br />motel rooms as to whether or not this minimum was too high. <br />The Board directed the staff to conduct research concerning <br />this matter. <br />ALTERNATIVES & ANANLYSIS <br />The Planning Department surveyed nine (9) jurisdictions in the <br />Treasure Coast area. Many of these jurisdictions did not <br />address minimum dwelling space requirements or maximum <br />densities for hotel and motel rooms specifically. Several of <br />these jurisdictions base minimum dwelling space requirements <br />for hotels and motels on the Southern Standard Building Code or <br />rely on their site plan, parking, and landscaping requirements <br />to control density of hotels and motels. <br />The following table outlines the results of the research <br />conducted by staff including the County's current requirements. <br />33 BOOP( 6� PAGE 169 <br />I <br />
