Special Election - Tuesday, November 3, 2020
On January 28, 2020, the Bal Harbour Village Council passed Resolution 2020-1279, providing for submission to electors a proposed charter amendment concerning single-family dwelling building height.
Currently, the Village Charter does not take into account the state or federal base flood elevation when measuring maximum building height; it measures from the street. When the base flood elevation increases, the effective height of single family dwellings decreases. Shall the Charter be amended to allow the height of single family dwellings to be measured from the highest minimum elevation required by state or federal law? [Yes] [No]
The proposed amendment to Section 80 of the Charter reads as follows:
Sec. 80. Building Height
Building height allowed on any property shall not exceed the permitted height for that property set forth in the Village's comprehensive plan or municipal code, in effect the date this amendment is approved, whichever provisions are most restrictive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the height of single family dwellings may be measured from the highest minimum elevation provided by state or federal law. Unless otherwise specified in the comprehensive plan or municipal code in effect the date this amendment is approved, each building "story" shall mean 11 feet in height.
