Farrell, Cardenas, Fertel & Rodriguez 201 South Biscayne Boulevard Suite 1920 Miami, Florida 33101 RE: Vizcatran, Ltd./Codec Development Parking Needs Assessment Dear Mr. Cardenas: Submitted into the public record in connection with item, on a aft . Hirai City Clerk As requested, Transport Analysis has evaluated the parking needs of the proposed 100 dwelling unit, 9 story Vizcatran/Codec housing development for lower income elderly and handicapped residents. The proposed Section 202 development, to be located near S.W. 32nd Road, S.W. 1st Avenue and S.W. 22nd Terrace in Miami, would be near the Vizcaya Metrorail station. High-rise residential structures which are specifically designed and operated for the benefit of lower income elderly and handicapped residents exhibit substantially different total parking demands than high-rise apartments or condominiums which accommodate a more diverse set of dwellers. Earlier this year, our staff surveyed somewhat similar facilities in Dade County. The two survey sites each contained approximately the same number of dwelling units as that proposed for Vizcatran, each supplied an ample number of parking spaces, and each was fully mature with an operational history. The two survey sites were located further west between West Flagler Street and Tamiami Trail and each had high levels of unit occupancy during the period of our survey. The survey sites differed from Vizcatran in that neither was served by Metrorail, although Metrobus service is available to each. Twelve observations were made of the total parking needs at these comparable facilities on weekdays, weekends, during mid -day, late evening and early morning hours to ensure that the period of maximum total parking demand would be captured of the parking needs generated by residents, visitors, on -site management and maintenance personnel, service vehicles, deliveries and all other forms of vehicles. The maximum observed parking demand rate generated at any time by either facility was 0.337 vehicles per occupied dwelling unit. Planning + Design and Engineering + Accident Reconstruction 91-- 482 Al Cardenas, Esq. June 19, 1991 Page 2 To safeguard against any potential underestimating of the maximum parking needs to be generated by the proposed Vizcatran development, an additional 20% is added to the maximum parking demand rate observed at either of the similar operational facilities in our survey. With 100% occupancy, and with this upward 20010 adjustment, the proposed Vizcatran development will have a parking demand not to exceed 41 spaces during periods of the year when it is fully occupied/rented. Our parking demand is possibly over estimated in that we have not taken into account the proximity of this site to Metrorail and perhaps further reductions attributable to the stipulated low income status of residents required at this site which was not necessarily a stipulation for residency at the two sites in our surveys. The proposed development plan, per our understanding, includes 33 on -site parking spaces and 15 off -site parking spaces under lease at the Vizcaya Metrorail station. This total of 48 spaces provides 7 spaces (17%) beyond the maximum calculated demand. Thus, we conclude that the combination of 33 on -site and 15 off -site parking spaces proposed for the Vizcatran development will adequately accommodate the number of parking spaces needed by the residents for whom this development is being designed, their visitors, service/delivery, and any on -site management/maintenance personnel assigned for typical daily operation when the development is fully occupied.

P. , Consultant Architecture, Urban Planning and Design, Zoning 9605 Southwest 120 Street, Miami, Florida 33176 (305) 233-4404 June 9, 1991 The City Commission City of Miami Miami, Florida Re: Vizcatran Ltd. Request for Off -Street Parking Requirement Variance Dear Commissioners: When the Miami Zoning Ordinance was redone in the late 1970's and early 1980's, particular attention was directed to applications for variance from terms of the ordinance. Standards and requirements for variances were added to the Zoning Ordinance that had to be met by petitions for a variance. Special exceptions and special permits were added to the new ordinance to provide variations from various standards such as off-street parking for housing for the elderly. Article 191 Section 1903 of the present ordinance states that a variance shall not be granted unless a written petition is submitted demonstrating that the petitioner has met all of the requirements and standards of Section 1903.1(a) through (f). The petitioner has not met any of the standards or requirements of (a) through (f), therefore, the Commission cannot grant the variance. The petitioner should have followed parking requirements for the elderly in Article 9, Section 917.5, which requires a Class II permit, and one parking space for each two dwelling units, with the remaining one-half of land area which would have been used for parking to be set aside for open space or recreational purposes. This application for a variance is also in direct conflict with the Viscaya Station Area Plan adopted by the City of Miami City Commission on October 17, 1979. The Plan states that planning goals should: r June 9, 1991 Page 2 - Conserve and protect the low density residential neighborhoods whenever possible in the station area, and - Provide attractive housing opportunities close to the downtown area for middle income persons. The Plan further stated that Land Use proposed changes in area a (where the petitioner site is located) should: - Encourage assembly of multiple lots into larger sites by density restrictions on small sites. - Height limitation of six stories - Require adequate on -site parking and open space. The proposed development will not meet any of these adopted provisions. A nine story building, 151 feet long, 53 feet wide, and 80 feet high, will block sunlight from the neighboring one- story houses along S.W. 22nd Terrace until noon each day as well as obstruct prevailing breezes. The off street parking and loading areas adjacent to the residential lots on 22nd Terrace will destroy their low density residential quality. The City Commission should have followed the recommendations of the Viscaya report for a special zoning district in this neighborhood, and not granted a change of zoning on April 22, 1986, on two lots from RG-1/3 to RG-3/7 (later changed to R-4) which in effect is spot zoning, and allows the construction of a building that does not meet the requirements of rezoning as established in Article 22, Section 2210 (a) through (p), and especially: (d) the change suggested is not out of scale with the needs of the neighborhood or the city. Comment: The nine -story building is obviously out of scale with adjacent one-story buildings. (h) The proposed change positively influences living conditions in the neighborhood. Comment: The nine -story building will have a detrimental influence on living conditions in the neighborhood. Submitted into the public record in connection vAth item 2 ' on, L-2 0 Matty Hirai City Clerk 91-- 482 June 9, 1991 Page 3 (k) The proposed change has the same or similar impact on light and air to adjacent areas as the existing classification. Comment: As stated earlier, a nine -story building will block light and air in this low density neighbohood. (1) The proposed change has the same or similar impact on property values in the adjacent area as the existing classification. Comment: The nine -story building will have a negative effect on surrounding low density properties. (m) The proposed change will contribute to the improvement or development of adjacent property in accord with existing regulations. Comment: Adjacent properties will not be improved with existing regulations. To meet this requirement, new special district transit area zoning is needed for the entire area. Finally, the Commission should consider that this petition is for one of the areas that resulted from transferring the 200 units of high duality low to moderate income housing for the workers on Claughton Island to 225 units of low to moderate income housing in three other areas of Miami. In a letter to the City Commission in 1985, Mr. Robert Traurig, who was representing Claughton Island developers, stated that the residents in this project area would have the opportunity to reach major employment centers in Greater Miami. The design of the building in the letter indicated a series of apartment balconies, swimming pool and other amenities for working people. The project was not intended for elderly housing.

Item 4 requested a variance from Ordinance 11000,as amended, to allow the construction of a 9 story 100 unit residential structure, providing 31 of 110 required offstreet parking spaces. The Vizcatran, Ltd./Codec development is a Section 202, elderly and handicapped housing project; 25% of the project will be efficiency' units and 75% will be one bedroom apartments with an expected average residents' age of 71 years. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the proposed building and which are not applicable to other buildings in the same zoning' district. The project is to be utilized by , elderly and handicapped individuals whose vehicles utilization is far below the average of the general population. Furthermore, the economic status of elderly and handicapped persons who qualify for residency at a Section 202 project falls far below standards necessary to own and maintain a vehicle. Another special condition to be considered in granting a variance from the required parking spaces. is the project's close proximity to the Viscaya Metrorail Station which will encourage, future residents to use mass transit over individually owned vehicles. This particular site was selected by the City Commission for this project in 1987 with a proposed 120 units.. These conditions and circumstances are the results of either the particular requirements of a Section 202 project for the elderly and the handicapped or by the existance of the geographic location of mass transit which cannot be controlled or altered by the applicant. Literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning ordinance deprives the applicant of rights and treatment enjoyed by other property owners with similar or identical projects 'z 91�- 4 2 Ms. Gloria Fox Page two PETITION FOR VARIANCE Fite Number V4 3 is Of the terms Of the ordinance Than aurh action VAa not be A variance retazmtion COnti'at'j► to the pubUC tat Outwh'e+ owf0 to Condttim pecuttar to the of Ods property and not the rm dt of actions of the appuco m uterat oryoreement ordinance �routd result in mmesuary, and undue hardship on the pvps .

See attachment A, Paragraph 5 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. a. 9. N •'•: ZIN W km,44 ;G0 4 The site has an irregular configuration not common in properties with this zoning classification. The site carries with it a height limitation of 9 stories versus an unlimited height in other sites with same zoning classification. This height limitation came about thru negotiations with the neighborhood association. As a result of the above height limitation, the footprint of the building is much larger, therefore making the provision of at grade parking in the required amount, impossible to achieve without a parking structure not allowed by H.U.D. regulations. The easement required by the City for emergency vehicles also decreases the amount of land available. No other site in the immediate vicinity is zoned for the proposed use, therefore this variance is not applicable to other properties in the zoning district. The proposed use or the property as Housing for the Elderly and Handicapped and its proximity ,to -the Metrorail Station makes this.variance very much in line with the intent of the Master Plan of attracting metrorail riders. In asking for this variance the petitioner is following the guidelines of the U.S'. Department_ of Housing and Urban Development as it applies to Housing for the Elderly and the Handicapped. - H.U.D. will not fund parking structures. The petitioner has obtained the same parkin reductions in two similar projects, St Augustine vill.an wl.th 100 units and Busnavista Apartments with 105 units, both in the Allapatah section of Miami. The variance is the minimum required in that the limited area of the site does not allow for morn pnrkirng at gtndn. A reduction in units will m6he this buildin unfeasible to manage q and morn important w1�.1 cause the city to lose Federal Funds already allocated for this project. 9 482" A FF I D A V I T STATE OF FLORIDA) }SS COUNTY OF DADE ) Bafore me, the undersigned authority, this day personally appeared JUAN M.

KNE2EV10H Ms. Gloria Fox Sub.mittod into the Public Cleric of the Boards record in City of Miami connection W. th 275 NW 2nd Street iten 'G- /7 , - Miami, FL 33128 can -Z e - Re: Vizcatran, Ltd./Codec - Notice of Appeal 142aftY Hirai City Clerk Dear Ms. Fox: This letter is a notice of appeal from the City of Miami, Zoning Board' decision of May 6, 1991 regarding item #4, for property located at approximately 168-200 SW 32nd Road; 3200 - 3204 SW First Avenue and 1100 - 1139 SW 22nd Terrace, Miami, Florida. Item 4 requested a variance from Ordinance 11000, as amended, to allow the construction of a 9 story 100 unit residential structure, providing 31 of 110 required offstreet parking spaces. The Vizcatran, Ltd/Codec development is a Section 202, elderly and handicapped housing project; 25% of the project will be efficiency units and 75% will be one bedroom apartments with an expected average residents' age of 71 years. Special conditions and circumstances exist which are peculiar to the proposed building and which are not applicable to other buildings in the same zoning district. The project is to be utilized by elderly and handicapped individuals whose vehicles utilization is far below the average of the general population. Furthermore, the economic status of elderly and handicapped persons who qualify for residency at a Section 202 project falls far below standards necessary to own and maintain a vehicle. Another special condition to be considered in granting a variance from the required parking spaces is the project's close proximity to the Viscaya Metrorail Station which will encourage future residents to use mass transit over individually owned vehicles. This particular site was selected by the City Commission for this project in 1987 with a proposed 120 units. These conditions and circumstances are the results of either the particular requirements of a Section 202 project for the elderly and the handicapped or by the existance of the geographic location of mass transit which cannot be controlled or altered by the applicant. Literal interpretation of the provisions of the zoning ordinance deprives the applicant of rights and treatment enjoyed by other property owners with similar or identical projects 91- 482 3t r -"A Ms. Gloria Fox Page two located within the City of Miami. In the past, the following elderly housing projects have received variances from the parking space requirements: 1. Las Palmas - 100 units located at NW 7th Street and 26th Avenue. 2. Buena Vista - 105 units located at NW 35th Street and 18th Avenue. 3. T.M. Alexander - 150 units located at 4. St. Augustine - 100 units located at NW 19th Street and 15th Avenue. Therefore, a precedent has been created which must be maintained in order to ensure equal treatment under the law. A hardship has certainly been established by the precedence of the evidence presented as deferred by law. Allowing a variance in the instance case is not only in harmony with the intent and purpose of the zoning ordinance, but will allow the construction of a federally funded program for the welfare and benefit of the community in general and the elderly and handicapped residents in the City of Miami in particular. Denial of this variance will cause irreparable damage to the residents of the City of Miami through the loss of approximately $17.5 million dollars of federal program funding; approximately $4.5 million in construction funds and $ 13 million over 15 years of Section 8 Subsidy. In order to ensure that these benefits accrue to the community, a closing on the project must take place before September 1991; thus time is of the essence in deciding the granting of a variance in this matter. For all the foregoing reasons, we respectfully request that the decision of the Zoning Board of the City of Miami be reversed.
