EXPLANATION OF EAR -BASED AMENDMENT PROCESS
MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
SUMMARY
This document contains Group I amendments to the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) as recommended by the Evaluation and Appraisal Report
(EAR). This group of "EAR -based Amendments" can be informally called the
"housekeeping amendments", consisting of text changes to the MCNP Goals, Objectives,
and Policies to revise dates, update or delete obsolete material, and make minor additions
and corrections to the text. Group I amendments will be submitted in June, 1998 to the
Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for its review and approval.
Two additional groups of EAR -based amendments dealing with more complex and
substantive changes will be prepared for later review, recommendation, and adoption.
Group II amendments will be scheduled for submission to the DCA in December, 1998
and Group III in June, 1999.
IXTO1 {!� 311119L'
The proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) on the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 (MCNP) was heard and discussed by the Planning
Advisory Board (PAB) at a series of meetings during the summer and fall of 1995.
Following final recommendation for approval by the PAB by Resolution No. PAB 50-95
on November 1, 1995, the EAR was adopted by the City Commission by Resolution No.
95-830 on November 16, 1995 and submitted to the Florida Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) December 1, 1995 for�review in accordance with the requirements of
Chapter 163.3191 F.S.
DCA's review of the proposed EAR revealed a number of points on which further
information and/or explanation was necessary before the EAR could be found sufficient.
The City responded to DCA's comments with report entitled "City of Miami Evaluation
and Appraisal Report Sufficiency Issues with Responses by City of Miami" received by
DCA July 15, 1996. DCA reviewed this report and, by letter of December 17, 1996,
found the City's EAR sufficient.
A number of amendments to the MCNP are recommended by the EAR. Under the
provisions of state law, these amendments are to be made within 18 months following
adoption of the EAR —in Miami's case, by April 24, 1998. However, in situations where
there are complex local and intergovernmental issues to be addressed and resolved,
June 23, 1998 EAR -Based Amendment Process - Page 1
11779
additional time is available so long as a good faith effort is being shown by the local
government. In any event, MCNP amendments can be passed and submitted for DCA
review and approval only within the twice -per -year allowance —in Miami's case, June
and December of each year.
The following schedule will be followed for adoption of the MCNP EAR -based
amendments:
• Group I amendments. This,.group of amendments can be informally called the
"housekeeping amendments", and consists of text changes to the MCNP
Goals, Objectives, and Policies to revise dates, update or delete obsolete
material, and make minor;additions and corrections to the text. This group is
before the City Commission for adoption and submission to DCA in June,
1998. The seven MCNP elements in this group are:
1. Future Land Use (text only)
2. Housing
3. Sanitary and Storm Sewers
4. Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge
5. Potable Water
6. Solid Waste Collection
7. Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Group II amendments. This group includes amendments with significant
policy implications that involve intergovernmental issues such as coastal
management including hurricane preparation and response policies, and
natural resources including conservation practices and water and air quality
standards. This group of amendments needs to be coordinated with, and utilize
certain elements of, Miami -Dade `County's adopted Comprehensive
Development Master Plan (CDMP). This group can be tentatively set for
adoption and submission to DCA in December, 1998. The four MCNP
elements in this group are:
1. Coastal Management
2. Natural Resource Conservation
3. Capital Improvements
4. Intergovernmental Coordination
• Group III amendments. This group consists of the most complex single
element, transportation, as well as any remaining problems or inconsistencies
to be the subject of general MCNP amendments, such as final resolution of
any discrepancies between the Future Land Use Plan Map and the City's
Zoning Atlas. This group can be tentatively set for adoption and included in
the June, 1999 submission to DCA.

Interpretation of the Future Land Use Plan Map
The Future Land Use Plan Map is a planning instrument designed to guide the future
development and distribution of land uses within the city in a manner that is consistent
with the goals, objectives and policies of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan
(MCNP) 1 aQ- .
The Future Land Use Plan Map is a generalized map that does not depict areas of less
than 2 acres. The Planning Director is responsible for making all determinations of
concurrency as defined in state statutes, and will also interpret the map based on all
applicable state laws and administrative regulations and on the consistency between the
proposed change or changes and the goals, objectives and policies expressed in the
MCNP. The Planning Director will also determine whether or not proposed zoning
changes require an amendment to the comprehensive plan.
Land development regulations and policies are to be consistent with the Future Land Use
Plan Map. The land development regulations further define and describe all requirements
applicable to zoning categories contained under each land use designation, permitting the
treatment of new development according to the particular conditions existing in different
areas, and always consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the MCNP, and
specifically witifthe Land Use Element and its Future Land Use Plan Map. The land use
designations are general designations thaw may include more than one zoning
category. All activities and uses within each designation are compatible with each other
by virtue of their scale, intensity and character, or by additional conditions required by
the land development regulations, more specifically by the City Zoning Ordinance, which
describes special districts in order to achieve more definite goals and objectives.
The land use designations that "LichwLich appear in the Future Land Use Plan Map are
arranged following the "pyramid concept" of cumulative inclusion, whereby subsequent
categories are inclusive of those listed previously except as otherwise noted. These
designations, and the uses allowed' in' them, are defined as follows:
Conservation: This land use designation is restricted to environmentally sensitive areas
that v.,hic-h are to be left in an essentially natural state. Only activities that ;;4iiQ1; reinforce
this character are allowed. Public access to these areas, including off-street parking, may
be limited when unregulated access may present a threat to wildlife and plant life within
such areas.
Recreation: This land use designation only allows public parks and recreation uses.
Within parks, such recreation uses permit educational and cultural facilities such as
"'Allowed" or "permitted" uses are allowed by right; "permissible" or "limited uses are candidates
for inclusion, subject to an interpretation of consistency by the Planning Director and a grant of
special exception by the Zoning Board.

EXPLANATION OF EAR -BASED AMENDMENT PROCESS
MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
SUMMARY
This document contains Group I amendments to the.Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) as recommended by the Evaluation and Appraisal Report
(EAR). This group of "EAR -based Amendments" can be informally called the
"housekeeping amendments", consisting.of text changes to the MCNP Goals, Objectives,
and Policies to revise dates, update or delete obsolete material, and make minor additions
and corrections to the text. Group I amendments will be submitted in June, 1998 to the
Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for its review and approval.
Two additional groups of EAR -based amendments dealing with more complex and
substantive changes will be prepared for later review, recommendation, and adoption.
Group II amendments will be scheduled for submission to the DCA in December, 1998
and Group III in June, 1999.
BACKGROUND
The proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) on the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan 1989-200.0 (MCNP) was heard and discussed by the Planning
Advisory Board (PAB) at a series of meetings during the summer and fall of 1995.
Following final recommendation for approval by the PAB by Resolution No. PAB 50-95
on November 1, 1995, the EAR was adopted by the City Commission by Resolution No.
95-830 on November 16, 1995 and submitted to the Florida Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) December 1, 1995 for review in accordance with the requirements of
Chapter 1633191 F.S.
DCA's review of the proposed EAR revealed a number of points on which further
information and/or explanation was necessary before the EAR could be found sufficient.
The City responded to DCA's comments with report entitled "City of Miami Evaluation
and Appraisal Report Sufficiency Issues with Responses by City of Miami" received by
DCA July 15, 1996. DCA reviewed this report and, by letter of December 17, 1996,
found the City's EAR sufficient.
A number of amendments to the MCNP are recommended by the EAR. Under the
provisions of state law, these amendments are to be, made within 18 months following
adoption of the EAR —in Miami's case, by April 24, 1998. However, in situations where
there are complex local and intergovernmental issues to be addressed and resolved,
.June 23, 1998 EAR -Based Amendment Process - Page 1 7
.79
additional time is available so long as a good faith effort is being shown by the local
government. In any event, MCNP amendments can be passed and submitted for DCA
review and approval only within the twice -per -year allowance —in Miami's case, June
and December of each year.
The following schedule will be followed for adoption of the MCNP EAR -based
amendments:
• Group I amendments. This group of amendments can be informally called the
"housekeeping amendments", and consists of text changes to the MCNP
Goals, Objectives, and Policies to revise dates, update or delete obsolete
material, and make minor additions and corrections to the text. This group is
before the City Commission for adoption and submission to DCA in June,
1998. The seven MCNP elements in this group are:
l . Future Land Use (text only)
2. Housing
3. Sanitary and Storm Sewers
4. Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge
5. Potable Water
6. Solid Waste Collection
7. Parks, Recreation and Open Space
• Group Il amendments. This group includes amendments with significant
policy implications that involve intergovernmental issues such as coastal
management including hurricane preparation and response policies, and
natural resources including conservation practices and water and air quality
standards. This group of amendments needs to be coordinated with, and utilize
certain elements of, Miami -Dade County's adopted Comprehensive
Development Master Plan (CDMP). This group can be tentatively set for
adoption and submission to DCA in December, 1998. The four MCNP
elements in this group are:
1. Coastal Management
2. Natural Resource Conservation
3. Capital Improvements
4. Intergovernmental Coordination
Group III amendments. This group consists of the most complex single
element, transportation, as well as any remaining problems or inconsistencies
to be the subject of general MCNP amendments, such as final resolution of
any discrepancies between the _Future Land Use Plan Map and the City's
Zoning Atlas. This group can be tentatively set for adoption and included in
the June, 1999 submission to DCA.

development and distribution of land uses within the city in a manner that is consistent
with the goals, objectives and policies of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan
(MCNP) i oQ-n o�0. _
The Future Land Use Plan Map is a generalized map that does not depict areas of less
than 2 acres. The Planning Director is responsible for making all determinations of
concurrency as defined in state statutes, and will also interpret the map based on all
applicable state laws and administrative regulations and on the consistency between the
proposed change or changes and the goals, objectives and policies expressed in the
MCNP. The Planning Director will also determine whether or not proposed zoning
changes require an amendment to the comprehensive plan.
Land development regulations and policies are to be consistent with the Future Land Use
Plan Map. The land development regulations further define and describe all requirements
applicable to zoning categories contained under each land use designation, permitting the
treatment of new development according to the particular conditions existing in different
areas, and always consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the MCNP, and
specifically with the Land Use Element and its Future Land Use Plan Map. The land use
designations are general designations thaw may include more than one zoning
category. All activities and uses within each designation are compatible with each other
by virtue of their scale, intensity and character, or by additional conditions required by
the land development regulations, more specifically by the City Zoning Ordinance, which
describes special districts in order to achieve more definite goals and objectives.
The land use designations that ;44iiQl; appear in the Future Land Use Plan Map are
arranged following the "pyramid concept" of cumulative inclusion, whereby subsequent
categories are inclusive of those listed previously except as otherwise noted. These
designations, and the uses allowed' in them, are defined as follows:
Conservation: This land use designation is restricted to environmentally sensitive areas
that vLhiah are to be left in an essentially natural state. Only activities that vd;ich reinforce
this character are allowed. Public access to these areas, including off-street parking, may
be limited when unregulated access may present a threat to wildlife and plant life within
such areas.
Recreation: This land use designation only allows public parks and recreation uses.
Within parks, such recreation uses permit educational and cultural facilities such as
'"Allowed" or "permitted" uses are allowed by right; "permissible" or "limited uses are candidates
for inclusion, subject to an interpretation of consistency by the Planning Director and a grant of
special exception by the Zoning Board.

EXPLANATION OF EAR -BASED AMENDMENT PROCESS
MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
SUMMARY
This document contains Group I amendments to the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) as recommended by the Evaluation and Appraisal Report
(EAR). This group of "EAR -based Amendments" can be informally called the
"housekeeping amendments", consisting of text changes to the MCNP Goals, Objectives,
and Policies to revise dates, update or delete obsolete material, and make minor additions
and corrections to the text. Group I amendments will be submitted in June, 1998 to the
Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for its review and approval.
Two additional groups of EAR -based amendments dealing with more complex and
substantive changes will be prepared for later review, recommendation, and adoption.
Group II amendments will be scheduled for submission to the DCA in December, 1998
and Group III in June, 1999.
BACKGROUND
The proposed Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) on the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 (MCNP) was heard and discussed by the Planning
Advisory Board (PAB) at a series of meetings during the summer and fall of 1995.
Following final recommendation for approval by the PAB by Resolution No. PAB 50-95
on November 1, 1995, the EAR was adopted by the City Commission by Resolution No.
95-830 on November 16, 1995 and submitted to the Florida Department of Community
Affairs (DCA) December 1, 1995 for review in accordance with the requirements of
Chapter 163.3191 F.S.
DCA's review of the proposed EAR revealed a number of points on which further
information and/or explanation was necessary before the EAR could be found sufficient.
The City responded to DCA's comments with report entitled "City of Miami Evaluation
and Appraisal Report Sufficiency Issues with Responses by City of Miami" received by
DCA July 15, 1996. DCA reviewed this report and, by letter of December 17, 1996,
found the City's EAR sufficient.
A number of amendments to the MCNP are recommended by the EAR. Under the
provisions of state law, these amendments are to be made within 18 months following
adoption of the EAR —in Miami's case, by April 24, 1998. However, in situations where
there are complex local and intergovernmental issues to be addressed and resolved,
June 23, 1998 EAR -Based Amendment Process - Page' 1
.11"779
additional time is available so long as a good faith effort is being shown by the local
government. In any event, MCNP amendments can be passed and submitted for DCA
review and approval only within the twice -per -year allowance —in Miami's case, June
and December of each year.
The following schedule will be followed for adoption of the MCNP EAR -based
amendments:
Group I amendments. This group of amendments can be informally called the
"housekeeping amendments", and consists of text changes to the MCNP
Goals, Objectives, and Policies to revise dates, update or delete obsolete
material, and make minor additions and corrections to the text. This group is
before the City Commission for adoption and submission to DCA in June,
1998. The seven MCNP elements in this group are:
1. Future Land Use (text only)
2. Housing
3. Sanitary and Storm Sewers
4. Natural Groundwater Aquifer Recharge
5. Potable Water
6. Solid Waste Collection
7. Parks, Recreation and Open Space
Group II amendments. This group includes amendments with significant
policy implications that involve intergovernmental issues such as coastal
management including hurricane preparation and response policies, and
natural resources including conservation practices and water and air quality
standards. This group of amendments needs to be coordinated with, and utilize
certain elements of, Miami -Dade County's adopted Comprehensive
Development Master Plan (CDMP). This group can be tentatively set for
adoption and submission to DCA in December, 1998. The four MCNP
elements in this group are:
1. Coastal Management
2. Natural Resource Conservation
3. Capital Improvements
4. Intergovernmental Coordination
Group III amendments. This group consists of the most complex single
element, transportation, as well as any remaining problems or inconsistencies
to be the subject of general MCNP amendments, such as final resolution of
any discrepancies between the Future Land Use Plan Map and the City's
Zoning Atlas. This group can be tentatively set for adoption and included in
the June, 1999 submission to DCA.

Interpretation of the Future Lanes Use Plan Map
The Future Land Use Plan Map is a planning instrument designed to guide the future
development and distribution of land uses within the city in a manner that is consistent
with the goals, objectives and policies of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan
(MCNP) .
The Future Land Use Plan Map is a generalized map that does not depict areas of less
than 2 acres. The Planning Director is responsible for making all determinations of
concurrency as defined in state statutes, and will also interpret the map based on all
applicable state laws and administrative regulations and on the consistency between the
proposed change or changes and the goals, objectives and policies expressed in the
MCNP. The Planning Director will also determine whether or not proposed zoning
changes require an amendment to the comprehensive plan.
Land development regulations and policies are to be consistent with the Future Land Use
Plan Map. The land development regulations further define and describe all requirements
applicable to zoning categories contained under each land use designation, permitting the
treatment of new development according to the particular conditions existing in different
areas, and always consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the MCNP, and
specifically with' the Land Use Element and its Future Land Use Plan Map. The land use
designations are general designations that may include more than one zoning
category. All activities and uses within each designation are compatible with each other
by virtue of their scale, intensity and character, or by additional conditions required by
the land development regulations, more specifically by the City Zoning Ordinance, which
describes special districts in order to achieve more definite goals and objectives.
The land use designations that ;o4iiGh appear in the Future Land Use Plan Map are .
arranged following the "pyramid concept" of cumulative inclusion, whereby subsequent
categories are inclusive of those listed previously except as otherwise noted. These
designations, and the uses allowed' in them, are defined as follows:
Conservation: This land use designation is restricted to environmentally sensitive areas
that which are to be left in an essentially natural state. Only activities that ud;iGb reinforce
this character are allowed. Public access to these areas, including off-street parking, may
be limited when unregulated access may present a threat to wildlife and plant life within
such areas.
Recreation: This land use designation only allows public parks and recreation uses.
Within parks, such recreation uses permit educational and cultural facilities such as
"'Allowed" or "permitted" uses are allowed by right; "permissible" or "limited uses are candidat s
for inclusion, subject to an interpretation of consistency by the Planning Director and a grant o
special exception by the Zoning Board.

designations. Residential facilities (except for rescue missions) alone or in combination
with other uses are allowable to a maximum density of 1,000 dwelling units per acre,
subject to the detailed provisions of the applicable land development regulations and the
maintenance of required levels of service for facilities and services included in the City's

Also permitted is a mix of uses ranging from high density multifamily residential to high
intensity office uses with retail uses on the lower floors of structures. Intensity of uses
within the CBD land use designation are generally higher than those allowed in other
areas of the city.
General Commercial: Areas designated as "General Commercial" allow all activities
included in the "Office" and the "Restricted Commercial" designations (with the
exception of permanent living facilities but including rescue missions), as well as
wholesaling and distribution activities that generally serve the needs of other businesses;

industrial areas. These commercial activities include retailing of second hand items,
automotive repair services, new and used vehicle sales, parking lots and garages, heavy
equipment sales and service, building material sales and storage, wholesaling,
warehousing, distribution and transport related services, light manufacturing and
assembly and other activities whose scale of operation and land use impacts are similar to
those uses described above. This category also allows commercial marinas and living
quarters on vessels for transients.
Industrial: The areas designated as "Industrial" allow manufacturing, assembly and
storage activities. The "Industrial" designation generally includes activities that would
otherwise generate excessive amounts of noise, smoke, fumes, illumination, traffic,
hazardous wastes, or negative visual impact unless properly controlled. Stockyards,
rendering works, smelting and refining plants and similar activities are excluded.
Residential uses are not permitted in the "Industrial" designation, except for rescue
missions, and live-aboards in commercial marinas.
