Picture 4: Intersection of NW 73rd St and NW Miami PI
Based on the FEC Railway acting as the southern boundary for the Property, the first three
neighborhood blocks traveling northward consist of a mixture of predominately businesses
involved in storage (warehouses or storage units) and light manufacturing, with a small portion
consisting of multifamily residential housing and vacant properties.
However, moving further north, this pattern of development transitions to residential
neighborhoods and is anchored by a civic/religious institution/school: Cathedral of St. Mary
Catholic Church and St. Mary's Cathedral School. The existing pattern of development follows
both the City of Miami's Miami Neighborhood Comprehensive Plan (MCNP) future land use
(FLU) designations and the accompanying Miami 21 zoning transect designations. Please refer
to Map 4 on the previous page and Table 2 (below), which summarizes the zoning topologies
adjacent the Property.

Staff created a 0.25-mile radial study area (the "Neighborhood Study Area"), to understand the
differing zoning topologies that comprise the general area outside of the boundaries of the
Property, (see Figure 4). This distance was based the established "0.25-mile distance metric"
promulgated and implemented for the City's adopted Transit Corridors (Ordinance 13565) linked
to affordable/workforce housing, according to Miami 21, Article 3, Section 3.15.2 and Section
3.16.1. Technically per Miami 21, Article 7, Sec. 7.1.2.8.d.2.g, an application for a rezoning must
include, among many deliverable, an analysis of the properties within a one-half mile radius of
the subject property regarding the existing condition of the radius properties and the current
zoning and Future Land Use designations of the radius properties.

Previous Zoning 11000 Code and Future Land Use
Staff researched for any changes in the underlying zoning designations for the Property. Based
on the staff's findings, the zoning designations of the Property have remained the same since
1990.
Starting with the former Zoning Code 11000 that was adopted March 8, 1990 and moving
forward with the current zoning code, which was updated through Ordinance 13114 (known as
Miami 21 Zoning Code) on October 22, 2009, the underlying zonings designations for the
Property within the Neighborhood Study Area, have not changed over approximately 30 years,
please see Maps 6 and 7:
Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-20-5998_ 7400 NW Miami Court — Page 9 of 23
Map 6: City of Miami's former 11000 Zoning Code
In terms of comparing the intensity and density between the City of Miami's former 11000
Zoning and the current Miami 21 Zoning Code, they generally align with each other. Specifically,
for, the residential density component, R-3, Multifamily Medium -Density Residential, and T5,
Urban Center Core, they have the same density of 65 dwelling units/acre. Whereas in terms of
the intensity of uses aspect, C-2, Liberal Commercial, and D1, Work Place District generally
allow commercial activities which serve the needs of other businesses, require extensive
loading facilities, and often benefit from proximity to industrial areas, please the Table 5 below
which shows the comparisons between the previous and current Zoning Code:

The Applicant proposes to change all the existing Future Land Use (FLU) designations to
"General Commercial". In general terms, this FLU -designation allows for activities like the
Restricted Commercial designation, such as residential, lodging, and commercial services, but
with the addition of more intense uses such as entertainment establishments. However, with the
spatial context of this Neighborhood Study Area - 0.25-mile radius, these FLU -designated
General Commercial areas are only found along the NW 71 St and NW 79 commercial east -

structure to be built up to a maximum of five stories with a maximum benefit heig
abutting side and rear D1-designated properties.
In terms of allowed uses, the main difference between the T5-R and T6-8-0 transects are
residential and commercial uses. The T5-R designation was primarily designed for creating
cohesive residential communities with limited, disruptive commercial uses, such as a Bed and
Breakfast, Civic, and Civic Support uses through an entitlement process. In comparison to T5-R,
the T6-0 transect allows for a variety of uses either by right or entitlement. Regarding the "D1"
transect, it matches all the allowed uses for T6-8-0 as listed in Miami 21's Article 4, Table 3,
except for residential with the caveat of "Work -Live" housing. However, in terms of allowed
industrial uses, this is the converse. The D1 transect is specifically designated for industrial
uses, such as storage/distribution facilities and manufacturing/processing operations.
Based on the allowed density pursuant to Miami 21, Article 4, Table 4, staff is listed below the
existing and proposed residential density for the Property:

3.54 x 150 DU/ac = 531
The existing base residential for the Property is 137 DU. The applicant is proposing to increase
the density to 531 DU, an increase of 394 dwelling units or viewed as a percentage increase of
(531-(21+116)/531) = 288 percent.
Minimum Requirements to Request a Change of Zoning:
Miami 21: Section 7.1.2.8 - Amendments to Miami 21 Code
In accordance with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a, a change may be made to a transect zone in
a manner which maintains the goals of Miami 21. The recommendations of the Planning,
Zoning and Appeals Board shall show that the board has considered and studied the
application regarding the following criteria:
Criteria 1: 7.1.2.8.f.1.a "The relationship of the proposed amendment to the goals, objectives
and policies of the Comprehensive Plan, with appropriate consideration as to whether the
proposed change will further the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan; the
Miami 21 Code; and other city regulations."
Analysis 1.a: Per the Applicant's Letter of Intent (LOI), the request furthers Goal LU-1 of the
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) to "Maintain a land -use pattern that (... )
protects and enhances the quality of life in the City's neighborhoods; (... ) fosters redevelopment
and revitalization of blighted or declining areas; (... ); promotes and facilitates economic
development and the growth of job opportunities in the city;(...); [and] promotes the efficient use

the MCNP, properties with a General Commercial FLU designation are said to beZ-20-5998
proximity to industrial areas, as the allowed uses generally serve the needs of ot1/18/20
(page 24 of the MCNP that became effective on May 14, 2018). Regarding the a •
Property, all 12 parcels are abutting a D1 Transect. Therefore, the applicant's proposed land -
use change complies with the general intent of the MNCP's "General Commercial" FLU
designation.
Concerning Transect Zone designations, the hierarchy provided in the MCNP's Correspondence
Table, titled "Correspondence Table- Zoning and Comprehensive Plan", this suggests that FLU -
designated "General Commercial" is more suitable to adjacent FLU -designated "Light Industrial"
areas versus other FLU -designated and residentially -oriented areas, such as Medium Density
Multifamily Residential or Duplex Residential. As stated by the Applicant, the rezone would
further Goal LU-1 by establishing a zoning Transect that would allow a redevelopment that is
successional and acts a buffer between two conflicting FLU designations: Light Industrial and
Medium Density Multifamily Residential.
Therefore, the Applicant's request fulfills the needs in providing more inclusive, higher density
housing while providing mutually beneficial commercial services to industrially oriented
businesses that are within proximity to the Property.
Finding 1a1a: This proposed FLU change is compatible with the existing FLU -designated
properties abutting the Property. Therefore, the request complies with the rezoning criteria
outlined in Section 7.1.2.8.f.1.a of Miami 21.
Criteria 1.b: According to Section 7.1.2.8.f.1.b, the PZAB shall consider "the need and
justification for the proposed change, including changed or changing conditions that make the
passage of the proposed change necessary."
Analysis 1.b: Per the Applicant's LOI, the following claim is stated:
"In evaluating the requested zoning atlas amendments for the [Property], the proposed
Applications reflect and are supported by changing conditions in the area, and the proposed
zoning to T6-8 improves upon or maintains intended transitions under Miami 21 of one transect
zone in intensity compatible with surrounding properties immediately to the north, south, east,
and west."
This claim is contradicted by the existing, spatial zoning topologies for this Neighborhood Study
Area - 0.25-mile radius. Specifically, the only T6-8-0 designated zoning is along NW 79 St
commercial corridor, which is approximately three blocks north of the Property and only
comprises 2.6% of the Neighborhood Study Area - 0.25-mile radius. Furthermore, to make the
argument for successional zoning, there needs to be an established pattern of rezoning/land-
use changes (ergo City Commission -approved land use and/or zoning applications) within this
Neighborhood Study Area - 0.25-mile radius, which point to a sustained redevelopment trend of
higher levels of growth, density, and intensity of uses. Based on the staff's findings, there have

PZ-20-5998
Findincg1.b: The request is not consistent with the rezoning criteria outlined in Secti 11/1s/20
7.1.2.8.f.1.b as the Applicant does not provide any evidence for the justification for the
change.
Criteria 2: Miami 21, 7.1.2.8.f.2 states that "a change may be made only to the next intensity
Transect Zone or by a Special Area Plan, and in a manner which maintains the goals of this
Miami 21 Code to preserve Neighborhoods and to provide transitions in intensity and Building
Height", per Section 7.1.2.8. f.2.
Analysis 2: Staff analyzed the Applicant's proposed change from Miami 21's existing T5-R and
D1 Transect Zones to the proposed T6-8-0 Transect Zone under the same conditions
previously discussed in Criteria 1.b above.
In the context of the existing T5-R Transect Zones to the north and west of the Property, the
proposed rezoning would increase Density from 65 dwelling units per acre to 150 dwellings
units per acre. In terms of building Height, it would go from five stories to eight stories by right
with the potential for four additional stories when coupled with the City's Pubic Benefits
program. The requested rezone would create a more gradual transition between the Property
and the neighboring parcels to north and west. However, since there are no existing T6 zoning
topologies within this Neighborhood Study Area - 0.25-mile radius that supports this rezone, the
best condition is to follow the existing T5 topology but seeking higher intensity of uses, such as
the T5-0, which allows more lodging, commercial, office uses by right versus T5-R. Therefore,
the existing T5 topology is more conducive to the transitional development patterns intended by
Miami 21, Article 2, Section 2.1.2.8.a.2, as well as the rezoning criteria identified in Section
7.1.2.8.f.2 of Miami 21.
In the context of the existing D1 Transect Zones to the east and west of the Property, the
proposed rezoning would go from the existing base residential density of 36 dwelling units to
150 dwelling units per acre. In terms of building height, both D1 and T6-8-0 are allowed up to
eight stories, by right. Furthermore, per the provisions of Article 4, Table 2; Article 4, Table 3;
and the successional zoning table provided in Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a.3, the requested
change is less intense in terms of uses when compared to the industrial uses allowed for the
abutting D1-designated properties. Therefore, any effects from this proposed zoning change
from D1 to the T6-8-0 would be deemed beneficial in terms of acting as a buffer, based on the
scale and design of a proposed redevelopment project, to the residential neighborhoods to the
west and north.
In context to Miami 21, Article 2 Section 2.1.2.a.1 and Section 2.1.2.b.4, the preservation of both
the established T5-R residential neighborhoods along with the many rail/vehicular-dependent
logistical businesses within the D1 industrial areas are critical in weighing the merits of this
rezoning application. Unfortunately, the argument put forth by the Applicant does not comply
with these key requirements. Furthermore, this rezoning application, if successful, has the
potential to be a catalyst for more intense, incompatible uses encroaching within these
established residential neighborhoods and the shuttering of many businesses, which is
inconsistent with the rezoning criteria outlined in Section 7.1.2.8.f.2 of Miami 21.
Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-20-5998_ 7400 NW Miami Court — Page 20 of 23
It is of staff's professional opinion that if the applicant were to propose to rezone
from T5-R and D1 to T5-0, this would be more appropriate and in -line with the ex
transects within this Neighborhood Study Area and the overall general area. To ex
point while the T5-R Transect is found to the west and north of the Property, the T5-
is a better fit in terms of the equal balance of residential density and allowed uses by
through an entitlement process, that mirrors many of uses allowed in T6-8-0.

Per Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a.3 of Miami 21, the Applicant's request to change the zoning
designation for the single T5-R-zoned parcel to T6-8-0 complies with Miami 21's requirement
for a successional zoning change. However, the Applicant's remaining 11 parcels are zoned D1,
and the successional change in zoning may be to T6-8, T5, Cl, or D2. The staff has an excerpt
of the "Successional Zoning Changes" table below:

* The Planning Department shall make a recommendation as to which Transect Zone will yield
the most coherent pattern given the established zoning pattern and context in the immediate
vicinity.
Per the Applicant's Property survey, five of the 12 parcels are aligned with the right-of-way of
NW Miami Place, which has approximately 419.15 linear feet of frontage and complies with
Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8. c.1. Therefore, the Property meets the minimum 200-foot requirement
for street frontage length on one street and may be considered for rezoning.
Per Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a, a change may be made to a Transect Zone in a manner that
maintains the goals of Miami 21. In a recommendation for such a change, the request is
considered and studied concerning the criteria identified in Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.f. The
criteria and the staff's findings are provided below.
Finding 2: The key findings are the preservation of the existing residential neighborhoods, the
identification of a coherent and variable pattern of T6 redevelopment, and context to the
Neighborhood Study Area that can adequately support and provide a transition to increased
density, intensity, and building Height. This single, isolated proposed rezoning from T5-R and
D1 to T6-8-0 directly conflicts Miami 21's intent at preserving neighborhoods which makes the
request inconsistent with the rezoning criteria of Section 7.1.2.8. f.2.
F. CONCLUSION
From a successional zoning aspect according to Section 7.1.2.8.a.3, the Applicant's proposed
change from 75-R" and "D1" to a 76-8-0" Zoning designation adheres to this principle.
Specifically, to the west and north of the Property, the proposed rezoning could create a buffer

However, Miami 21 has incorporated a variety of planning principles that provide
"checks and balances". These allow for a more cohesive growth pattern that is inten
advance the interests of both conservation and redevelopment while responding to the existing
conditions of the City, its regional context, its infrastructure, level of service and established
neighborhoods.
In this context, this proposed zoning change disrupts the longstanding, coherent pattern of
established medium density residential neighborhoods and the economically important rail -
dependent industrial uses aligned to the active FEC Railway, as stipulated by the rezoning criteria
in Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8. f.2.
Finally, this proposed rezoning could result in intensive redevelopment into established
residential neighborhoods, leading to a variety of possible conflicts centered around health,
safety, level of service standards, residential displacement, housing stability, etc.
Interestingly when comparing the differing categorized uses "By right" or "Special Permit" for T5-
R, T5-L, T5-0, D1, and T6-8-0 in Miami 21's Article 4, Table 3 — Building Functions, they are all
mostly the same with a few minor exceptions. Furthermore, the building heights for T6-8-0 and
D1 are both eight stories by right.
Ultimately, this proposed rezoning application is centered around the increase in residential
density from D1 (36 DU/ac) and T5-R (65 DU/ac) dwelling units to T6-8-0 (150 DU/ac). The
residential intensity increased by the proposed T6-8-0 is not supported based on the
longstanding, medium density residential and industrial development patterns within this
Neighborhood Study Area. Staff recommends T5, specifically T5-0 as a better fit for this
Property because of the neighborhood context as directed by Article 7, 7.1.2.8, which states that
the following:
"The Planning Department shall make a recommendation as to which Transect Zone will
yield the most coherent pattern given the established zoning pattern and context in the
immediate vicinity."
While the properties in the area are Zoned T5-R, the proximity of this Property to the D1
Transect makes the better choice of a change of zoning to the 75-0" Urban Center - Open. The
T5-R Transect Zone maintains a variety of uses on this block and similar density. The T5-R
Urban Center Zone -Restricted limits uses to primarily residential in proximity to the D1 Transect
Zone, which is not the best fit in the neighborhood context.
Pursuant to Miami 21 Code, Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 of Ordinance 13114 ("Miami 21 Code"),
as amended, the Planning Department recommends "Denial" of the request to change the
zoning designation of the parcels, located at 60 NW 73 ST; 70 NW 73 ST; 7301 NW Miami PI;
