LDR amendments and development -related issues have been handled and workshopped ahead of the revised, staff -initiated building height LDR amendment. These other issues included: docks/piers, Wabasso Corridor Plan requirements, CR 510 East Corridor requirements, SR 60 Corridor Plan requirements for manufacturing businesses, pot-bellied pig policy, PDs (workshop), and agricultural PDs (workshops). 6. 5/18/00 Workshop Version: TWO ALTERNATIVES Based upon discussion at the BCC's 5/4/99 LDR hearing, staff revised the proposed building height LDR amendment to delete all reference to a roof height weighted average, and provided the following 2 alternative amendments: ALTERNA77VE 1: Amend the county's building height definition to be similar to the City of Vero Beach's, whereby the building height is measured to the inside ceiling of the highest useable space. ALTERN477VE 2: Revise wording for the absolute height limitations as follows: (a) In areas subject to the 35' building height limit, the maximum height to the highest eave of any roof structure would be 35' and no portion of the building (including any roof structure) would be allowed to exceed 50'. (b) In areas subject to the 45' building height limit, the maximum height to the highest eave of any roof structure would be 45' and no portion of the building (including any roof structure) would be allowed to exceed 60'. The consensus of the May 18th workshop participants was to pursue ALTERNATIVE 1, with some modifications. 7. 6/15/00 (PSAC) Version: Based upon the May 18, 2000 workshop, the current LDR amendment version: • Uses a modified version of the City of Vero Beach budding height definition. • Limits parapet walls at roof -top edge to a maximum height of 5' above the building height maximum • Requires a roof -top, edge setback for roof -top enclosures and screen walls. • Establishes in single-family areas an additional setback for buildings over 25' in height. 8. 7/18/00 (BCC) Version: Based upon discussion at the PSAC and PZC meetings, this version is the same as above with the exception of a change to the building height definition as recommended by the PSAC. PSAC and PZC Consideration At its June 15, 2000 meeting the PSAC voted to recommend that the BCC adopt the proposed building height regulations with the following modifications: A. The building height should be measured to the intersection of the highest inside finished face of the exterior vertical wall and the highest ceiling. This change was meant to allow atriums and clerestory features (such as exist over the Indian River Mall food court) while keeping standard building designs as low as the City of Vero Beach definition. (NOTE: This recommended change has been incorporated into the proposed ordinance, as shown in attachment #8). July 18, 2000 56 BI(114 PG 2 6 4
