Miami's Neighborhood Comprehensive Plan ("MCNP") pursuant to Chapter 163, Part II, Florida
Statutes; and
WHEREAS, the MCNP contains a Future Land Use Element and a Future Land Use
Map ("FLUM"), which both establish goals, objectives, and policies for land use within the City of
Miami ("City"); and
WHEREAS, there are sixteen (16) different Future Land Use designations available
within the City's FLUM; and
WHEREAS, approximately two percent (2%) of the land within the City is designated as
Industrial on the FLUM; and

designated as either Single -Family Residential or Duplex Residential on the FLUM; and
WHEREAS, the City has been designated a Dense Urban Land Area ("DULA") pursuant
to Section 380.0651(3)(a), Florida Statutes, and the DULA designation is memorialized by the

WHEREAS, the City was designated an Urban Infill Area pursuant to Chapter 163,
Florida Statutes, with the adoption of Ordinance No. 11864 on November 16, 1999, recognizing
that the City is an area of dense and intense development where additional development should
be facilitated to avoid unnecessary greenfield development; and
WHEREAS, the statutory provisions for designating DULAs and Urban Infill Areas were
established by the Florida Legislature to encourage compact and urban development, stimulate
economic development, and protect environmental resources by preventing sprawling land
development in the State; and
City of Miami File ID: 7291 (Revision: C) Printed On: 1212812020
WHEREAS, the Single -Family Residential and Duplex Residential Future Land Use

show that approximately 2.5 million people visited the City and spent at least one (1) night in the

urban industrial spaces calls for a greater mix of uses in compact spaces to increase walkability
and pedestrianism and to stimulate economic activity; and
WHEREAS, the City's Planning Department found that a key demand for the adaptation
of urban industrial space is for hotel and motel use where negative externalities are not present
for such use; and
WHEREAS, after full consideration at a public hearing on March 4, 2020, by a vote of
seven to one (7-1), the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board recommended denial to the City
Commission of the proposed amendment stated herein to the MCNP to include lodging uses on

Department documents, including the Miami River Corridor Infill Plan and the Miami River
Greenway Action Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Lower River is the portion of the Miami River that flows through
Downtown Miami and is heavily urbanized with many properties along the Miami River already
developed with uses typical of downtown areas; and
City of Miami File ID: 7291 (Revision: C) Printed On: 1212812020
WHEREAS, Section 342.07, Florida Statutes, states "'recreational and commercial
working waterfront"' means a parcel or parcels of real property which provide access for water -
dependent commercial activities, including hotels and motels as defined in s. 509.242(1), or
provide access for the public to the navigable waters of the state"; and
WHEREAS, consideration of this matter has led to the conclusion that limited Lodging
