Golden Isles Overlay District

Golden Isles is a neighborhood in the SE quadrant of the City with recorded deed restrictions on all of its properties. While many of the regulations outlined in the Golden Isles Deed Restrictions have been incorporated into the City's Zoning and Land Development Code, there are certain regulations that have not and the City is unable to enforce those regulations as it had in the past.

In 2008, residents from the Golden Isles Homeowners Association and the Safe Neighborhood District contacted the City’s Planning Division and expressed a desire for the City to assist in addressing the special needs of their community. Upon authorization from the City Manager, staff had several meetings with representatives from Golden Isles discussing the future vision for the Golden Isles community and the necessary steps to achieve that goal. At that time, staff suggested the creation of an overlay district which would provide the City with the ability to implement and enforce the development standards and regulations originally intended with the recorded Deed Restrictions. 

Staff finalized a draft ordinance of the Golden Isles Overlay District and presented to the Planning and Zoning Board (PZB) on October 26, 2011. At that meeting, the Board voted 4-1 to recommend denial of the Golden Isles Overlay District Ordinance. As such, this project will not be presented to the City Commission and is considered closed.
