Request and Analysis:
The Applicant’s request is for a major modification to allow for the construction of a new two-story
pavilion for the property located at 1096 Bel Lido Drive (DO# PZ-24-1). Section 30-67(b) of the
Town Code permits accessory uses in the RS zoning district. Section 30-131 of the Town Code
defines an accessory use as follows:
Use, accessory means a permitted use that is customarily associated with the principal use
or structure, is located on the same lot as the principal use or structure, is clearly incidental
to the principal use, and is subordinate in area, extent, or purpose to and serves only the
principal use.
While Section 30-39 of the Town Code references major modifications as alterations to “existing”
principal or accessory structures (as described below), the proposed two-story pavilion is detached
from the existing single-family residence and is therefore not a modification to an existing structure.
Given the scope of the project, staff has determined that the proposed pavilion also be processed as
a major modification.
Section 30-39. – Modifications to existing buildings.
(1)Major modifications that alter existing principal or accessory structures, including but
not limited to the building footprint, number of square feet, building height, number of
dwelling units, parking requirements, change in exterior facade, change of use, change of
roof line, change of elevation, all exterior walls, balconies, foundations, accessory
structures, and similar substantial improvements as determined by the building official.
The proposed two-story pavilion consists of the following:
- First Floor: open pavilion (288 square feet), storage area (69 square feet), and bath (81
square feet under AC).
- Second Floor: office/game room and bath. A total of 390 square feet under AC.
The Applicant has indicated that no landscaping will be modified to construct the pavilion.
According to Section 30-39(b) of the Town Code, major building modifications are to be reviewed
in the same manner as an original structure or use as required by Chapter 30 (Zoning Code). Section
30-31 of the Town Code requires site plan approval from the Planning Board for new single-family
residences. Pursuant to Section 30-22 of the Town Code, when acting in a decision-making capacity,
the Planning Board shall approve, approve with conditions, or deny applications for development
approval which includes major modifications.
If the request is approved by the Planning Board and prior to initiation of construction, the Applicant
will be required to obtain a building permit from the Town of Highland Beach Building Department.
Pursuant to Section 30-21(g) of the Town Code, commencement of construction of the approved
major modification shall be initiated within two (2) years following the date of approval by the
Planning Board.
Staff has reviewed the Applicant’s proposed request including plans date stamped received by the
Building Department on April 26, 2024 and finds that the project is consistent with the Code of
Ordinances.
