HISTORY
ANALYSIS Class II Special Permit No. 93 '2362 was issued per the requirements of Articies 13 and 15 of
Zoning Ordinance 11000. The proposed work is consistent with the character of the Central Grove
Business District and the intent of the SO-2 Special District; particularly as it relates to
retail and service uses with a strong pedestrian orientation. A traffic study, requested by the
Planning, Building, and Zoning.Department, was submitted which outlined specific mitigating
components to the foreseen traffic impacts. These mitigating actions were made part of the
conditions of approval of the Class II Permit. Finally, due consideration was given to the
architectural and scale impacts in that conditions regarding landscape along the major facades
were also imposed. See attached Class II Permit for all conditions.
ZONING BOARD Denied the appeal and upheld the decision of the P, B b Z Director. (Res. No. 0 1-9 4)

specific written findings of'fact'violates Section 1305
of the Zoning Ordinance, which establishes the _standards
for granting or denying Class II permits. Without the
required written findings or _determinations, it is
impossible to determine whether the decision below was
•based on substantial, competent evidence. Furthermore,
the failure to make the required written findings makes
it impossible to ascertain whether the Zoning,Board gave
due and adequate consideration to the criteria set forth
in Section 1305. The failure to make specific written`
findings and to evaluate the application in light of
these findings denies the appellants due process of law
and is'a departure from the essential requirements of the
..Zoning Ordinance.
2.
The use and development proposed for the property,do.not,
meet the SD-2 overlay standards as set forth in Section
602.of the; City of Miami Zoning Ordinance. Specifically,
Section 602.1 sets forth the purposes to be accomplished
through thisoverlay district, which, purposes are
thwarted by the decision of the Zoning Board. The.use-
and development proposed for the property also flies in
the .face :of the city Commission's interest in creating
the Coconut Grove Major Streets Overlay.District.
3.
The'traffic.study upon which the Zoning Board relied, and
which ..was purportedly adopted by the Department of
Planning, ,Building, and Zoning, is legally deficient
because it fails to consider and quantify the effect that
Planet Hollywood and the proposed, theater uses will have
on traffic flow to and from the project; it fails to
consider and quantify the impact and potential adverse
effects of the proposed uses on the neighborhood during
i
"peak -peak" periods as specifically requested by the
City; -and it fails to consider, quantify, and,compare the
current and new levels of service in and around the
Project.

Commission, it should be noted that the Class II'permit'
standards are constitutionally insufficient for failure
to provide the required guidelines for . their
administration. It is recognized that the City
Commission does not pass on the constitutionality 'of its
" own ordinances but this position is set forth so that the
City will be aware that such issue will be raised in
subsequent litigation should this application be
approved
5. The uses and development permitted by the Zoning Board
are inconsistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan.
Furthermore, to the extent that the transportation and
traffic components of the Comprehensive Plan as they
relate to Coconut Grove rely upon faulty assumptions
regarding the use and availability of public
transportation, any administrative determination that the
contemplated use is consistent with the Comprehensive
Plan is itself defective.
In conclusion, neither the Zoning Board nor the Department of
Planning, Building, and Zoning gave reasons for their decision'. It
is therefore difficult for us to further advise you as to where the
Zoning Board went wrong. The decision of the Zoning Board should
be thus reversed by the City Commission.

SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
Traffic operation alternatives were considered in' the Coconut Grove "Area.
Operational improvements were recommended to enhance'traffic flow to,' from and
aroundthe Mayfair project as follows
Y. Install 'temporary barricades` at each of the Mayfair parking` `garage
entrances. These barricades would prevent left -turns into and out 'of the
garages. All project ingress and egress will be via right -turns 'during the
weekend night peak"'hours (Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 600 PM to 2:00
°`AM). " One-way streets; if implemented by the City, would be an alternative to
right-`tur`n.restrictions.
Thi's,pIan is"an extension of the left -turn prohibition'scheme already in use
at' Grand "Avenue/Virginia Street.' This proposal, 'which would be subject to
approval by the Police Department, would` involve set-up of temporary
barH:cades (weekend night'only),'preventing inbound and outbound'left'turns at
all Mayfair garage entrances as --follows:
Grand Avenue
Florida Avenue (west garage)
Florida Avenue (east garage)
Rice'Street
This"a-lte'rnative would" eliminate all 'potential left -turns conflicts by
the project. Also it would provide most of the benefits of a one-way
circulation scheme without many of the 'disadvantages and potential
objections by area residents and merchants.
"2 Use potice officers'as assigned by the 'Police Department, to direct
traffic at the Mayfair garage entrances on weekend night peak hours .(Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, 6pm 2am). Officers will enforce right -turn ..only
I restrictions and generally ensure smooth traffic flow.

site (to reduce
equipment and
selected warning:
>I <.mnrhani.eme:(inrludina sianina)..
C:'
Provide as much inbound queuing as possible -at least 3 car
lengths or = 60 feet to the ticket'dispense'r'within the garage ---
to minimize blockage of public streets:
D.,
Provide queuing for 3 -or more `exiting vehicles between the
attendant booth and the public street or 60 feet to allow them to
proceed when possible.
E.
The sidewalk should be lowered (drop curb)' at the point where the
garage entrance intersect"s the public street(this signals the
pedestrians they are entering a driveway with potential vehicular
conflicts).
F.
Different texture pavement should be used for the sidewalk and the
internal portion of the driveway to ensure that both the motorist
and the. pedestrian realize the 'limits of`the area of conflict '(the
sidewalk).
G.
Pedestrian warning signs should be installed for the garage exit
lane, to alert the motorist of the presence of pedestrians ahead.
H.
Use narrow exit' lanes to encourage slow speeds approaching the
public street and sidewalk.
C Specific Treatment for each of the garages 'i's provided below:
A.
Grand Avenue Garage: Vehicles waiting to enter and exit the
garage do not create conflicts for the external roadway network
because the. internal private access roadway (approximately 150'
long) provides sufficient storage for approximately 6 cars.
7.
Pedestrian conflicts are minimal since a number precaution were
taken during the projects original planning 'toward motorists as
weli as pedestrian of the upcoming driveway.' These precautions
include a "drop curb" treatment; different pavement textures and
Page 3 of 5 9 4- 13 z
s
narrow lanes. Installation of automatic, ticket dispenser and
pedestrian crossing signs, however, is recommended.
A.
Florida Avenue Garages: These garages. were ,originally designed
for, valet parking only. As,, part of. the :proposed site changes,
these will be converted to self parking. Some precautions were
already taken to minimize pedestrian .conflicts ("drop curb" and
different pavement textures). Automatic ticket dispensers and
pedestrian crossing.signs,are recommended.
Be
Location of; the parking garage entrance -gates was studied. Sine
multiple simultaneous arrivals are likely dur.i.ng peak hour, it is
important that the :entrance gates be located well inside the
garage entrance. This would provide storage area within the. and
would greatly reduce potential blockages of the sidewalk, and the
public street (Florida Avenue).
C.
Rice— Street Garage-; This is an existing self -park garage.
-:.Existing precautions to minimize conflict with.pedestrians include
a., "drop .curb". and different pavement textures. Automatic ticket~
dispensers and pedestrian crossing signs, are recommended.
D.
The location of the parking garage entrance and exit gate was also
reviewed. On the exit itself, there is sufficient storage for one
vehicle to. stop between the exit _gate (after paying) and the
s-i dewal k. It is recommended that. the —outbound, gate be relocated
well inside the garage in order to provide sufficient storage for
2-3, vehicles after paying and, therefore, minimize delays and
queues of the outbound traffic. This allows motorists to stop
before reaching the sidewalk without fear of interfering with'
operation of the gate. '
