s � � operations. These special requirements include restrictions on landfill operations and uses that could be located in close proximity -to airports and that produce smoke and other visual hazards to safe airport operations. SECTION 2 This section adds definitions of the various new terms used in Section 1 of the proposed ordinance. These definitions are to be added to LDR Chapter 901, Definitions. SECTION 3 This section proposes an addition to an existing LDR section that .addresses allowable encroachments into (above) the county's general 35' height limitation. The proposed additional language provides a caution that no structures are allowed to be erected into any FAA established airport approach path. This prohibition reflects existing federal regulations regarding structures and approach paths. •Conclusion The proposed ordinance is designed to fit into the existing LMR and zoning atlas format, has been accepted by FDOT staff as meeting the mandates of FS 333, and has been recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission/Airport Zoning Commission. In staff's opinion, the Board of County Commissioners should adopt the proposed Airport Zoning Ordinance. •LDR Amendments Ordinance This second proposed ordinance contains 36 sections (see attachment #10). Sections 1 - 32 contain actual proposed LDR amendments. Sections 33 - 36 contain standard legal requirements included in all county LDR ordinances. A brief description of each section follows. SECTION 1: This proposed LDR change is the result of an amendment request filed by Attorney Bruce Barkett on behalf of Erbe Wold, owner of the Southgate Mobile Home Park (see attachment #11). The amendment relates to setbacks for open carport and open carport/storage shed additions to mobile homes located in old, nonconforming mobile home parks. The amendment recognizes and allows reduced setbacks (minimum of 31) between accessory carport or carport/storage shed structures and adjacent mobile home structures. Although the 3' setback allowance is "tight", it would apply only to old mobile home parks where many similar "tight" setback situations are already grandfathered -in. <11 SECTION 2 (A,B, & C): This three-part section is the result of an amendment request filed by attorney Michael O'Haire to allow residential resorts (time-share type units) as a special exception use in the higher density multi -family districts (RM -6, RM -8, and RM -10). Please -see attachment #12 for Mr. O'Haire's application. Currently, county regulations classify any "time-share" type of project that rents units for a period of 'less than 30 days as a "hotel/motel". Hotels and motels can be developed only in commercial zoning districts. Staff's research of 15 other Central and South Florida local governments .indicates that there is a broad spectrum of classification of time-share type units (see attachment #13). Some jurisdictions allow timeshare units "by right" in multi -family -districts; some allow such units as conditional uses in multi -family districts (as is being proposed), and still others treat such units as hotel/motel units requiring commercial zoning (as do current Indian River County regulations). The "conditional use" approach seems to be a logical, middle-of-the-road approach to a use type that appears to be more similar to a residential use than to a commercial hotel use. In staff's opinion, the proposed 7 MAR - 2 1993 BOOK 8d F'a�F1S7
