Porn Isle Nursery Site Reuse
On April 14, 1988, representatives of the Municipal Trust Fund
Corporation made a personal appearance before the City Commission to
request the use of approximately two (2) acres of the City -owned
Fern Isle Nursery site for the development a 12,000 square foot
community service facility on the northern portion of the site
Through Motion No 88 -361, the City Commission directed the
Administration to proceed in negotiating with the aforementioned
not - for - profit corporation an agreement which would allow for the
development of the proposed project on the Fern Isle Nursery site.
Currently, the Fern Isle Nursery is designated "Parks and Open
Space" in the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, dated
September, 1985, and the current zoning of the site is PR -Parks and
Recreation. In order to move this project forward, it will be
necessary to secure approval from the Florida Department of
Community Affairs of a plan amendment, in addition, a corresponding
zoning change before any development on the site would be allowed.
The Planning Department will be presenting next month for City
Commission consideration, the new Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood
Plan 1988 -98, which must be submitted to the Florida Department of
Community Affairs by September, 1988. Should the City Commission
approve in principle the request of the Municipal Trust Fund
Corporation, it is recommended that a plan amendment which would
allow for the proposed development to move forward be included as a
part of the new Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1988 -98, and
submitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs in
September.
City Commission approval in principle would provide the
Administration and the Municipal Trust Fund Corporation
authorization to proceed with this project.
