Zoning Committee is currently surveying property owners in the southeastern quandrant of the neighborhood regarding a proposed rezoning from RC-15 to RCS-15.  This proposal is an effort to preserve the single family nature of the Victoria Park's core.   </div> <bR> <div> The survey area is approximately from NE 17th Avenue/NE 17th Way west to NE 14th Ave from NE 6th Street south to Broward Boulevard and from NE 14th Avenue west to NE 10th Avenue from NE 4th Street south to Broward Boulevard.  <A HREF="#survey_area_map" TITLE="REZONING SURVEY"><U>(see map below)  </U></A></div> <bR> <div> The proposed change would limit replacement of existing single family structures to new single family structures.  Any existing multi-family dwellings within the survey area would be "grandfathered" -- they would remain multi-family and could be rebuilt as multi-family structures in the event they are destroyed by hurricane, fire, etc.  A multi-family structure zoned RCS-15 could not be rebuilt as a multi-family structure if the demolition was voluntary -- in that case, only a single family residence could be constructed.</div> <bR> <div> The area directly to the north of the survey is currently zoned RCS-15, the rezoning proposal would simply extend that designation south to Broward Blvd.  Areas to the east and west of the survey area are zoned currently at a lower-density RS-8, and this proposed change would have no effect on them.  Likewise, higher-density RMM-25 and RMH-25 areas (areas north of NE 8th Street,  just east of Federal Highway, or between Holiday Park and 6th St.) would not be affected.  </div> <bR> <div> The P&Z Committee completed an initial survey of all property owners in the affected area, as part of the CIty's approval process, Due to the many new property owners who have purchased a parcel within the area since the completion of the initial survey we are re-canvassing the area.   Once that canvass is complete we will submit it to the City for its review.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> When you receive your survey letter <B>-- PLEASE RESPOND !!  </B><I><B>Your opinion matters.</B></I></div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="319"><div>

<bR> <div> While entitled to his own opinion, this author is not entitled to his own facts.  Zoning is a process of planned development -- and  way the City regulates land use.  Zoning is the reason why used car dealerships are not located near residential areas, or strip clubs next to schools.  No one is trying -- and quite frankly, no one could  -- "take your zoning away from you".  We are simply seeking to extend a zoning classification that already exists in the neighborhood.  We feel there are strong reasons for the proposed rezoning. (see the article to the right)</div> <bR> <div> This survey is the first step in a very long process.  It simply asks whether there is enough interest from affected property owners to proceed to the City with a formal rezoning request.  The City Commission is the ultimate authority on the matter and City Code requires a series of public hearing/meetings before any change will take place.  The <A HREF="http://vpca.org/archives" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://vpca.org/archive/survey_letter_fi"><U>survey letter</U></A> makes this very clear.</div> <bR> <div> VPCA voted in 2002 to survey property owners.   The results were never formally presented to the City -- and therefore never "squashed" due to an "uproar".   Due to changes in City requirements and the large turnover of property owners since the initial survey effort, the City wants an updated sense of the neighborhood before proceeding at this time.  Yes, VPCA is proceeding on its own initiative to see if a rezoning proposal is something the neighborhood wants.  Its the sort of activity one expects civic associations to do.  There is nothing nefarious here.</div> <bR> <div> The author compares the surveyed area with Victoria Park Road.  Victoria Park Road is zoned RS-8, while the area being surveyed is RC-15.  This means that the surveyed area allows, and will continue to allow, a much higher density of 15 units per acre versus 8 per acre along Victoria Park Rd.  If the author wants to compare "apples to apples" he should compare the area to the north (between 8th St and 6th St, from 16th Ave to 17th Way).  That zoning district, RCS-15, also allows 15 units per acre.  In fact, the proposed rezoning simply extends that classification south to Broward Blvd.</div> <bR> <div> Obviously the author has not seen the survey letter -- so his unfounded speculation as to its wording is misplaced.  <A HREF="http://vpca.org/archives" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://vpca.org/archive/survey_letter_fi"><U>A copy of the survey can be found by clicking here</U></A>.  The survey's language is clear, concise and neutral.  It describes the proposed change in zoning and simply asks for a yes or no response.  We are doing nothing "under the guise of .... apple pies, blue sky" or whatever else the author fears.  (BTW: I like apple pie and blue skies)  Nor does this survey address other Code issues -- such as setbacks, or how to obtain a building permit.    </div> <bR> <div> As for "outsiders" pushing this effort:  VPCA voted overwhelmingly in favor of a survey in 2002.  The Plannng & Zoning Committee is simply implimenting the general membership's wishes.  The co-chairs of the P&Z committee and at least four other members of the committee (including myself) live and own property in the area currently zoned RC-15.  We are not outsiders -- we have volunteered countless hours over many years to making our neighborhood a better place to live. And would welcome any new members who wish to roll up their sleeves and improve Victoria Park.  </div> <bR> <div> There may be valid reasons for not supporting the proposed zoning change.  We simply ask affected property owners to review the factual  information presented on this page carefully and make an informed decision.  Unfortunately, this author wishes to attack people's motives, twist facts and cast aspersions -- then lacks the courage of his convictions by failing to sign his flyer. </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="mailto:web@vpca.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:web@vpca.org"><U>Bob Oelke</U></A></div> <div> <A HREF="mailto:web@vpca.org" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:web@vpca.org"><U>web@vpca.org</U></A></div> <bR> <div> PS I'll be happy to discuss the proposal with anyone and answer any questions you may have.  Please feel free to email me.</div> <bR> <div>   </div> </tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP BGCOLOR=#FFFF99 WIDTH="281"><div> <B>Your Money, Your Life</B></div> <div> A Commentary about Modernizing the Zoning in Victoria Park</div> <div> Art Levy</div> <bR> <div> Jack Benny had a radio routine that always cracked me up. A masked man with a gun steps out of a dark alley and states, "your money or your life." There is a pause and the annoyed gunman restates his demand, "your money or your life … well?" Jack Benny replies, "I'm thinking, I'm thinking."</div> <div> We could move that scene and ask Victoria Park residents, "real estate money or your quality of life." We all believe that we know what our vision of money is. But how do we value our quality of life ..... I'm thinking, I'm thinking.</div> <div> In a residential area, quality of life and real estate value are sometimes seen as conflicting goals. They are not at all. Zoning protects our quality of life. And, guess what? Zoning protects the value of our home as well. Zoning guarantees that the neighborhood that you buy into will retain its quality of life and value. It is sort of a warranty or insurance policy. </div> <div> But the zoning warranty that protects Victoria Park is old and looks like a frayed patchwork quilt. There are houses that face each other that have drastically different warranties. This zoning needs to be fixed. We can fix it by sewing up the patches.</div> <div> There is a questionnaire being mailed to all residents in one poorly zoned area to fix it and preserve the existing neighborhood. It asks if you agree that the homes in this part of Victoria Park should be preserved as single family. It fends off the aggressive development that threatens our quality of life, perhaps to the point of extinction. It addresses the unmanaged rise in population density that shepherds the inevitable rise in crime, traffic and congestion. The right thing to do is to agree with the change and save our neighborhood.</div> <div> But what about "your money <I>OR</I> you life?" The "or" factor is mostly a myth. You can have both. For the most part, single-family homes in Victoria Park are being snapped up, even in this slow market. People want neighborhoods. Surely, there's a market for high-density anonymous apartment living, but those aren't the only buyers in the marketplace. This proposed zoning change would not mean a certain loss of money. This is a fear factor advertised by developers. Single-family zoning may reduce developer profits, but the home-seller need not lose market value.  And, the new zoning allows existing townhouses to stay as they are.</div> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> Your home should be your life as well as your portfolio. Return the questionnaire with the "agree" line checked and preserve "your money <B><U>and</U></B> your way of life." </div> </tD> </tR> <tR> <tD VALIGN=TOP HEIGHT= 16 WIDTH="222"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="images/1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="222" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="319"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="images/1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="319" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> <tD VALIGN=TOP WIDTH="281"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="images/1x1.gif" HEIGHT="16" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="281" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0"></tD> </tR> </TABLE></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> <div>  <A NAME="survey_area_map"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="images/1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></div> <div> <IMG SRC="images/1295ccc0.jpg" border=0 width="604" height="460" ALIGN="BOTTOM" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0">   </div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="http://ci.fort-lauderdale.fl.us/GIS/files/maps/zoning_map.pdf" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://ci.fort-lauderdale.fl.us/GIS/file"><U><B>Detailed Existing Zoning Map </B></U></A><B> (pdf file)</B><FONT SIZE="2" COLOR="#009900" FACE="Arial" > </FONT></div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B>Relevant excerpts  from the </B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#009900" FACE="Arial" ><I><B>Unified Land Development Regulations</B></I></FONT><B>  </B></div> <div> <FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#009900" FACE="Arial" ><B>(</B><B>for complete text:</B></FONT><B> </B><A HREF="http://www.municode.com/services/mcsgateway.asp?sid=9&pid=10787" TARGET="_top" TITLE="http://www.municode.com/services/mcsgate"><U><B>ULDR</B></U></A><B> </B><FONT SIZE="3" COLOR="#009900" FACE="Arial" ><B>)</B></FONT></div> <div> <B> </B></div> <div> <B>Sec. 47-5.1.
