Property development regulations for the Commercial (C), Urban (U) and Public (PO-1) districts are listed in the following chart.

PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS:
COMMERCIAL, URBAN AND PUBLIC

Notes:

1.

For a through lot (front and rear property lines are adjacent to public streets), the front setback shall be applied to both the front and rear property lines.

2.

In the U district, for each yard that fronts on a public street or other public right-of-way reserved for non-vehicular circulation, at least seventy-five (75) percent of the façade of a principal building shall be at the property line, with zero feet of setback, as illustrated in Figure 16.A. Where portions of a principal building are set back, the yard area between the building façade and the property line may be used only for landscaped open space and/or streetscape enhancements (e.g., water feature, public art installation) or to accommodate a public plaza or pocket park or an outdoor seating area associated with a restaurant, bar or hotel. Additionally, the seventy-five (75) percent minimum requirement may be decreased if the additional yard area between the building façade and the property line is also used for the amenities cited above.

(3)

In the C and U districts, where a property is at an edge of the district and abuts property outside the district that is in entirely residential use or in a residential zoning district, the minimum yard setback toward the abutting property shall be twenty (20) feet. Additionally, any portion of the principal building that exceeds forty (40) feet in height shall be set back an additional amount, computed as one foot from the 20-foot building line at ground level for each one foot of additional building height above forty (40) feet. This ratio establishes a height-setback plane as illustrated in Figure 16.B.

4.

In order to determine the "maximum percent of lot area covered by building" and the minimum percent of lot designated as "open space," the following criteria shall be utilized:

(a)

"Lot area covered by building" shall include, in addition to the actual building structure in question, all parking lots or garages, alleys, streets and paved areas of vehicular ingress and egress and atrium areas.

(b)

"Open space" shall include green space, patios, unpaved picnic areas, walkways and sidewalks.

Development in the marine districts shall require review and approval of plans by: (1) Corp of Engineers, (2) general land office, (3) the City of Nassau Bay, (4) applicable homeowner's associations, (5) Coast Guard and (6) other cognizant government bodies. Prior to any development in the marine districts, a site plan shall be submitted to the city for an architectural review in accordance with article 16.5.

The owner or developer of the property shall be responsible for the repair or removal of damaged or derelict structures if these structures are determined to be a navigational or safety hazard by the city.

Property development regulations for all marine districts, M-R, M-RM, M-C, and M-P, are listed in the following chart. These explicit regulations and generic factors such as blockage of sight lines and size of structures are intended to minimize the impact on adjoining properties. Graphic descriptions of the regulations as they pertain to each district can be found in Appendices J and K.
