BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
On June 20, 2012, the Town Council adopted the Town of Cutler Bay Land Development Regulations. The purpose and intent of Article IV Districts and Development Standards is to create districts and standards that allow for classifying and regulating the use and development of the lands and waters of the Town. These districts are established for the purpose of protecting, promoting, and improving the public health, safety, comfort, order, appearance, convenience, morals, and general welfare of the community.
The goal of the proposed ordinance is to amend subsection 3-60 TC Town Center District of Article IV "Districts and Development Standards" to provide clear and balanced regulations that reflect the vision of the Town while meeting the needs of the residents within the Town of Cutler Bay.
