RE: PZ 9 — Text Amendment to Miami 21
File ID —1260
Dear Chairwoman and Commissioners:
Submitted into the public q
record or it (s) . I
on 0 City Clerk
Please accept the following request to make two (2) modifications to the proposed text
amendments being considered by the City Commission on Thursday, October 27, 2022 addressing
much needed updates to the Miami 21 Zoning Code.
Request #1: Please include the T5 Urban Center Transect Zone in the top Story adjustment which
does not increase the overall building height or volume but allows the top Story to be designed
with better architectural elements.
Request #2: Rather than a maximum of 25 ft for a top Story, 28 ft for the top Story allows for a
better ratio and element of the building. Again, this request does not increase the overall building
height or volume but allows for a better architectural design within the same permitted volume.
QUICK VIEW OF REQUESTS IN YELLOW HIGHLIGHT:
3.5.2 A Story is a Habitable level within a Building of a maximum fourteen (14) feet in Height
from finished floor to finished floor. Basements are not considered Stories for the purposes of
determining Building Height. A ground level reta4 Story may exceed this limit up to a total height
of twenty-five (25) feet and a top level Story in the T5, T6 Transect Zones may exceed this limit
up total height of twenty-eight (28) feet and count as one (1) Story, if the building height does not
exceed the maximum height including all applicable bonuses allowed by the transect at fourteen
(14) feet per floor and twenty-five (25) feet at the ground level. A ground level retail Story may
exceed fourteen (14) feet e —up to a total Height of thirty (30) feet when a retail establishment is
located in the Special Flood Hazard Area, given that the finished floor of the ground level meets
the Average Sidewalk Elevation.
