Remaining Heritage
Conservation Agenda

[NCL06URcs
Most of the remaining Heritage Conservation agenda items (PZ-6 through PZ-25) have
not received affirmative letters from property owners. At this point, after
public hearing, they can a) be tabled, continued or deferred; b) be denied, or
c) be approved. The Planning Department continues to recommend that all these
items be approved especially the four properties in which the owners approve.
Three property owners did not respond and the designations should be continued.
However, if the City Commission decides W to approve the remaining items, the
Department then recommends that these items be denied -- not tabled, continued or
deferred.

in accord with the historic reservation requirements of the Downtown Miami
Development of Regional Impact (r,RI) Master Development Order (Resolution 87-1148,
Condition 12) and the Southeast Overtown/Park West Development of Regional impact
(DRI) Master Development Order (Resolution 88-110, Condition 11), the City of
Miami Planning Department is attempting to have all properties that were
identified as historic in the development orders designated as Heritage
Conservation districts under Article 16 of Ordinance 9500, the zoning ordinance of
the City of Miami, Florida, as amended.
At the request of City Commission, the Planning Department has solicited letters
from property owners indicating whether or not they approve of the proposed
designations. Letters have been received from almost every property owner;
however, it has been impossible to contact some owners.
Responses received are as follows:
Four approve (PZ-6, 7, 9 and 10).
- Three did not respond (PZ-12, 20 and 23).

Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Commission
- One property (PZ-19) split: the leaseholder approves and the lessor
opposes.
Ten oppose designation (PI-8, 11, 13, 15-17, 21, 22, 24, and 25).
The Downtown ilagler District (PZ-18) split: 3 owners approve and 9
oppose.
- The tummus Park District (P2-14) split: 6 owners approve and 2 oppose.
At this point, the remaining heritage conservation items can a) be tabled,
continued, or deferred; b) be denied; or c) be approved. If the Commission
decides not to approve certain items, it is recommended that the items be
denied -- not tabled, continued or deferred. The reasons for this are two -fold:
1. Each property is presently under a moratorium that precludes issuance of
any building permit or a demolition permit for the property, unless the
owner applies to the Heritage Conservation Board for an accelerated
Certificate of Appropriateness and such Certificates has been issued
under the provisions of Article It of Ordinance 9500. This moratorium is
in effect until the.City Commission legislatively acts on the item.
2. Any request for remodeling, building additions or demolitions for
property, identified as historic by either the Downtown or Southeast
Overtown/Park West Development Orders, must be referred to the State
Historic Preservation Officer and to the Planning Department for review
and comment. However, the Commission could only eliminate these
referrals by subsequently amending the conditions of the Development
Orders.
It is anticipated that a property owner would prefer a decision now, in preference
to continuing the item.
