REQUEST To amend the zoning atlas in the area of SW 27th Avenue from SW 28th Terrace to Day Avenue. BACKGROUND The Planning Department conducted a comprehensive analysis of SW 27th Avenue, south of Dixie Highway, and its relationship to the rest of the Coconut Grove Area. This analysis was presented for consideration by the Planning Advisory Board at its meeting of May 14, 1986, and for consideration by the City Commission at its meetings of May 22, 1986'(lst Reading) and October 23, 1986 (2nd Reading), receiving an approval -in principle. The amendment to the Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan was reviewed and approved by DCA (letter included), the Planning Advisory Board and the City Commission at their respective meetings of May 14, 1986 (PAB Resolution #15-86) and October 23, 1986 (CC Ordinance #10166). ANALYSIS The condition of development along SW 27th Avenue and its immediate surroundings_ generates `the need to develop in accordance with the rest of the Coconut -Grove area and in relation to the transit station. The proposed zoning changes create the appropriate atmosphere for adequate development. RECOMMENDATIONS PLANNING DEPT. Approval of the zoning changes.

Us would be like pipes that are fric- tionless, but still rather narrow. Many scientists believe the fimita- dons will be overcome as research continues. Replacing a major part of the na- tion's electrical infrastructure would take many years and enormous capi- tal investment. But officials say some superconducting transmission lines could come sooner. Utilities now find it difficult to obtain rights of way for overhead high-tension power lines, which carry virtually all electricity that must travel long distances. `.'Even out in the countryside where there's only cows you can't get new rights of way," said Dr. Hulme of Westinghouse. "1 think the power companies will begin to look at situa- tions where you could carry more power on a given right of way. Superconducting lines can safely be put, underground, carrying far more currentfor much greater, distances than conventional underground cables. Also, they do not heat up. In dense urban centers such as New York, utilities encase their transmis- sion lines in elaborate cooling sys- tems,so they are already equipped to cool superconducting lines. Generators Kept at a Distance Such transmission lines also open up another possibility. Freed from the need to keep their generators close to their, users, utilities could to-. cafe nuclear power plants or fields of solar cells far from populated areas. The only large-scale working proto- type — the product of 14 years of en. gineering — was shut down last year at Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long island because of Reagan Administration budget cutbacks. It was able to carry staggering amounts of current, the equivalent of an eighth of the electricity used by New York City, in cables contained in a pipe 16 inches across. Storage of Current Withiout Losing Power Roughly half the nation's generat- ing capacity is wasted, because elec- tricity must be generated when it is neededSuperconductors open up the possibiiity of running generators around the clock and storing .huge amounts of power at night, without loss, for use during peak periods. Passing a current through any con. ductor creates a magnetic field - the fundamental principle :that makes possible electric motors, television picture tubes and much of the rest of modern technology. -A large enough coil of superconducting material could store a huge current in the form of a magnetic field. The potential is "unbelievable," said Ching -Wu Chu of the University of Houston and the National Science Foundation, who made some of the key recent discoveries. "You close the loop and the current should last forever," Dr. Chu said. "Then you just open up the loop and you can tap the current out." One practical difficulty is that engi- neers have no experience with'mag- netic fields on such a scale. Struc- tures would have to be carefully de- signed and anchored to withstand the forces that would be created. Smaller Computers That Work Faster Computer designers have run up against a seemingly insuperable bar- rier to making better hardware: densely; packed circuits produce so much waste heat that they threaten to melt themselves. Today's super- computers rely on elaborate cooling .systems. But if computers cannot be squeezed into smaller boxes, they cannot run much faster,- because their speed is limited by the time it takes a signal to travel across a few inches of wire. The guts of a computer come in two categories. The work is done by semi- conductor switching devices — tran. sistors packed together by the million — and these will not be replaced by superconductors in the near future. But much of the circuitry is ordinary metal that connects the switching de- vices, and these can be replaced by the new resistance -free, heat -free materials. Several laboratories have quickly announced processes to lay the super- conducting materials on chips in the form of thin films — just a few hun. dred atoms across. They contend that the major engineering hurdle has thus already been crossed. Trains Levitated By Magnetic Fields Most of the excitement aroused by the new materials comes from their ability to remain superconducting at relatively high temperatures. But they have turwd out to have a second property as well: the ability to handle far more powerful magnetic fields than the present generation of super- conductors. Put superconducting magnets on_ the bottom of a train, pull it along a track of ordinary metal, and the phys- ics of magnetism produces a strange effect. The train will levitate, rising into the air and floating on the mag- petic fields. The idea was analyzed in great de- tail in the United States a decade ago, but the Department of Transports• tion lost interest, believing that such trains would not be economically fea- sible. The Japanese National Rail- way, meanwhile, concentrating on they Tokyo -Osaka route, went so far as to, build a prototype, "large enough toi carry politicians around," said Dr. Richards of. Berkeley, who served as a consultant on the project. Speeds of 300 Mlles an Hour Engineers at the General Motors Corporation's research laboratory in Warren, Mich., studied magnetic levi- tation in the past, and they have now begun to reexamine the possibilities. Because they are not subject to fric- tion, levitating trains could travel at 300 miles an hour, smoothly and qui etly, The vehicles can be made quite stable, and when they slow down, they, would simply descend onto convert tional wheels. "The technical feasiblity was cer- tainly there, and it's something that immediately comes to mind when you think about these new superconduc- tors," Dr. Richards said. "it would be much easier to cool the magnets. The quality of insulation, the efficiency of the refrigeration — all these things ease very considerably." Nuclear Fusion And Beyond Scientists have spent 30 years and millions of dollars trying; to create a working system of generating elec- tricity by nuclear fusion, long her - Tie New York TIMWAPr,19. 1997 aided as a "clean" version of nuclear power. Using hydrogen as fuel, rather than uranium, fusion could provide an inexhaustible, source of energy in theory. In practice, though research contin- ues, progress has been slow. The,cru- cial obstacle has been the problem of efficiently creating magnetic fields powerful enough to contain the ex- tremely hot reaction, as hot as the sun itself. Some experts have suggested that the new superconducting materials could finally make fusion a practical reality. Beam Weapd� Research In the meantime, the weapons labo- ratories use powerful magnets in re- search on beam weapons. The Navy has actively explored the possibility of using a combination of ,supercon- ducting generators and motors r in ships to replace gigantic mechanical drive shafts. With all its mystery, superconduc- tivity has Intimate links to esoteric phenomena at the forefront of basic physics. Detectors using supercon- ductors have extraordinary sensi- tivity to different' kinds of radiation, raising the possibility of new kinds of applications from astronomy to the analysis of brain waves. "There's a tremendous amount of work to be done, but there's also a tre- mendous potential market out there for people who can bring this tech- nology into commercial practice," said Donald K. Stevens, head of basic energy sciences research for the De- partment of Energy. "It's going to re, quire some of our best minds." 131 ?1 i bn ► d- 4/21 /8 F t I { Bed Breakfast American ingenuity is transformiir_g this sleepy avocation into_a hot home -based -enterprise i { I By Magie Mahar To many Americans.

Sergio Rodriguez, Planning Director, announced at the March 31st City Commission Meeting, that the workshop would be .held at 6:00 PM, Tuesday, April 7, 1987., _ At the workshop, staff present were: Joe McManus, Planning Department; Walter Pierce, Assistant City Manager; Guillermo Olmedillo,_ Planning Department; Jo Reid and Gloria Fox, Buildingand Zoning Department; and George Campbell, Department of Public Works. Approximately 25 citizens attended. The presentation was made by Mr. Olmedillo (Attachment A). Citizen comments were as follows 1. Brooks Brierly _(Apogee) - There has - been no response to previous sugges ons ma e o e_ Planning Advisory Board or Planning Department. (Mr. Brieriy submitted his comments and plans) He objected to the 50' height in the Ordinance; he proposed 30' for commercial; 40' for residential. He proposed that all parking for commercial uses be below street level and that ''increased FAR would make it economic. The landscaping criteria in the Ordinance shows a 10' clear height trunk, which is not sufficient. He suggested a 20' buffer at the rear of all property. The buffer as defined in the proposed Ordinance can be used as an alley. 2. Andres-Duany. Sr., 2949 Coconut Avenue - Trees don't belong in the middle orltreels;--cors—donl berong under nd. 3.

Mitch Fennell, 2933 Center Street, (Habitat Three) - He is located behind e Animal House at Trade and coconut;the garbage dump for this building is located at Trade and S.W. 27th Avenue. They clean their parking lot at 7:00 AM, every Saturday. There is the glare from thier office lights every night. Employee arguments in their parking lot occur frequently. There are vandals and transients in their parking lot. This construction lasted for 1-1/2 years. He has no sunlight, the building blocks the sun. There are accidents at S.W. 27th and Bird Avenue. There is traffic from "Carlos in the Grove". The "automotive death and maim zone" occurs at ,peak traffic hours. There is no buffer between the office building and his house. 5. Cliff Rodner - TreehouseTownhouses, (represents 12 residents) This proposed zoning district ordinance ignores the potential For tressients`, garbage and traffic: SPI-13 does not represent an improvement. The great majority of residents oppose this zoning district.. 6. Thelfna Altshuler, Tigertail Association Several questions have been asked, can -the Planning Uepartment answer these questions _in general? 7. Guillermo Olmedillo, Planning Department North of Bird Avenue, land uses are not being modIfted, bute building envelope is being increased. South of Bird Avenue, SPI-13 both liberalizes land uses and increases the building envelope. 8. Mr. Brierly What is the trade-off between underground parking and a ona -FAR? 9. Rich Hei senbotl , Towns cape Homeowners Association - The challenge is to - come up with a compromise. The set propose y Brierly is workable. _ The height should be reduced to 30-35 ft.; residential uses should be provided above office and commercial uses; this would change the image of S.W. 27th Avenue. Briierly's proposal to trade-off underground parking_ for more FAR provides some positive aspects; otherwise 50s of the parking will be under buildings at grade. Why not require underground parking in return for commercial on the ground floor? Why not have trees in the center median? If County does not pay for trees, maybe the City should' pay. Al of the neighbors are ready to compromise, there should be modifications, 10, Walter Pierce, Assistant City Manager w A follow-on meeting would be held a w e ann ng epa en wQul4 respond to each' of the issuee raised.

The SPI-3 district is a model for the type of use and criteria thatshouldbe used for SPI-13. 12. Howard Weisberg, 2970 Washington ( represents -29 Residents) The verremark Building is affecting a surrounding area on Aviation and S.W. 27th Avenue. The area around Terremark should be rolled back to residential zoning. 13 Bob Fitzsimmons,, 2550 Abaco Avenue - Single-family residential property -owners need pro ec on; a recommended that office uses be permitted on S.W. 27th Avenue not commercial. Can the Planning Department support withdrawal of SPT T3 from the area around Aviation and S.W. 27th Avenue tonight? 14. Louise Rubin, Center Street Why can't certain property at ay center be own -zoned? 15. -Mona Michelle, S.W. " 27th Avenue/Bird Avenue She objected to S.W. 27th Avenue re -zoning. ousan s o eer cans are thrown at the bus stop at the service station at Bird Avenue and S.W. 27th Avenue. She bought her apartment building 5 years ago on the promise that this was the gateway to Coconut Grove. She want this area to remain residential. 16. Tony Marina, Property -owner on S.W. 27th Avenue He needed to describe e past two years or discussions or S.R. z7t enue zoning. The SPI-13 district affords small property owners a change of zoning, which they could not apply for individually because of the small size of their lots. " Residential rentals have to be quite economical to attract rentals. Individual chan9es of zoning were granted previously which were more liberal than SPI.13. You either have to rezone something satisfactory; to property -owners on S.W. 27th Avenue or they will say that M a was promised was not delivered and they will seek individual re -zoning and possibly obtain more liberal zoning, 17, Mona.Michelle - These are our homes, 18.

Throw the whole proposal out; do not disrupt the neighborhood. 21. Mr. Olmedillo - We addressed all concerns of the previous workshop however, these did not result in a report. 22. Eva Todd I represent a number of residents who are opposedto density. _ 23. Mitch Fennell - He again opposed the SPI-13 zoning. 24.

Brooks Brierlys 3126 CenterStreet- Apogee Condominium Sent letter to the Planning Advisory Board in January, 1987; presented concerns at the Planning Advisory Board meeting of February. _ The study of SPI"-13 does not reflect these proposals and comments. The Planning Advisory Board did not include them in its approval Apogee introduces into record the same plan again and wants answers. Planning Department: The letter was made part of the record which went to the Planning Advisory Board and after hearing the concerns and proposals of "Apogee" the Planning Advisory Board chose toapprovethe proposal presented by the Planning Department. This does not mean that the Planning Advisory Board ` did not consider these concerns but that they decided against them. Apog"I s proposal includes: Underground parking,-20' rear setbacks bonuses in exchange for better designs 1.5 FAR,, larger trees, more detailed requirements,' - lower buildings and trees in median. Underground parking is a good design idea but it is expensive. The intent is to generate service and commercial space to serve the neighborhood. These services have fled f rove the Village Center because of property values. Page 1 of i a Files April 17, 1987 The 15' rear setback was achieved as a result of 2 years of meetings and of moving the building towards S.W. 27th Avenue. Bonuses and 1.5 FAR are out of context. Throughout the study process the maximum considered has been 1.0 FAR. Neither neighbors nor developers want higher FAR. Larger trees are difficult to transplant. The remedy has been addressed with a l year review of landscaping. . SPI requirements are minimum conditions, detailed plans have to be prepared under SPI rquirements. Zoning requirements are general, not site specific. Lower buildings is a good idea, but impractical Again the discussion was between 40' or 50' and the matter was resolved with a 50' height limitation but a maximum of 3 or 4 levels depending on the development alternative. 'A 70' curb to curb section does not allow tree median when left turns have to be included. Andres Ouany Supported the mixed -use district Opposed the Apogee plan in its entirety. Planning Department: No comments Steven Cooke -Yarborough, Tigertail Association This is not a workshop. Why is the City undertaking toning changes? P490 2 of 7 49 Files April 17 1987 Only 22% of the properties on S.W. 27th Avenue will redevelop in foreseeable future. The number of meetings indicates that neighbors are opposed to it. Compromise presented by Tigertail was not adopted. Planning Department: Another workshop is scheduled for 'April 21, 1987, at 5:00 PM, at the City Administration Building. The 'plan presented is a long term proposal. The number of meetings indicates patience and desire to inform. Tigertail Association position has changed. At one point they submitted language for SPI-13. Now they do not wantSPI-13. The Planning- Advisory Board recommended approval after hearing the Tigertail proposal. Mitch Fennell, 2933 Center Street Brick Building on S.W. 27th Avenue and Trade Avenue has created problems to neighbors: garbage, noise at all hours, drugs, lights, loss of privacy, traffic, etc. S.W. 27th Avenue should not be changed. Planning Departmmt: Present zoning from Bird Avenue to South Dixie Highway is commercial with certain restrictions. The Brick -Building is an office building, not commercial. This is an enforcement problem now, the zoning is in place now. v The changes proposed on S.M. 27th Avenue are comprehensive, trying to create mechanism$ to eliminate impact$ on residential neighborhoods. Psog 3' of 1 50 10 31,Q. ' Files April 17, 1987 Cliff Rapp, Treehouse Condominium Opposes use and impact on the area. Commercial 'zoning creates, traffic, hours of operation, parking, displacement of housing. Planning Oepartment: The proposal addresses parking, housing and traffic. The hours of operation have not been taken into consideration. Rich Heisenbottle .why does the plan leave out possibility of bonuses. Quality may be achieved through bonuses. Planning Oepartment: The intensity of development is satisfactory to developers and already more than what the neighbors would want. Barry Fellman, Tigertail Association Presented another version of Tigertail Avenue Plan. Why change toning on S.M. 27th Avenue. SPI-13 is sufficient. Planning Department: The only changes that Tigerteil Avenue proposes are to extend the SPI-Z area to tW additional lots; and intensify the residential use Page 4 of 7 G3V) �s;�.:� err,_ r r�ax�sc ^• w..w :,N n ,c zammx Files April 170 1987 oncenterstreet between Bird Avenue And Day Street. This does not create incentives for development on 27th Avenue. SPI-13 addresses boundary conditions better than SPI-3. Howard Weisberg, Washington Street Eliminate rezoning of properties east of Aviation Avenue. (Section 2A). List of 60 names of people, who dive around the Terremark Building and who do not want the rezoning of those properties. Planning Department: The rezoning of those properties brings relief ' to the owners abutting the office building." Louise Rubin, Center Street Downzone the property at Day_ Street and Center Street and the POMU at Tigertail and S.W. 27th venue.'- Planning Department:' The City rezoned those two properties within the last two years. If the owners want to downzone'the City is willing to listen, Mons Michel Opposed commercial rezoning because it will be similar to what happened with the convenience store -gas station at Bird Avenue and S.W, 27th Avenue. Gas fumes, noise, traffic, etc. Page of 7 Files April 17, 1987 Planning Department North of Bird Avenue the present zoning allows some commercial activity and lots on Bird Avenue already have SPI-2, mixusezoning; the real changes are proposed south of Bird Avenue. Anthony Marina, President Gateway Association - The SPI-13 plan reflects compromises, the intensity granted to other properties (Day 'Avenue and Center Streetandthe POMU) is greater 1.21; the proposal is 10. The height limit is lower than the one already granted to those properties. Will have no problem leaving out the property at Aviation Avenue and Inagua. Planning Department No comments. Cynthia :Shelley, -2975-Washington Street Why not leave out the property in 2A, east of Aviation Avenue. Planning Department: Same as answer to Weisberg. Eva Todd, Louise Street Opposed to the changes. Agrees with Tigertail Association. Opposed to increase in density.

And after a year, -we still haven'., ::ears one good reason. Before you charge ahead, and maybe destroy the Village forever, please consider the following: -e Grove is a small village and any development si.oulo c r.tin,;e to reinforce that special village statement; i.e. commercial development should be in the village center, not a strip development on 27th Avenue that weakens the village core. * he development of 27th Avenue with commercial divides the existing residential areas on both sides of 27th avenue and does not serr.e to unify the neighborhood. *' If anything is a "gateway" to the Grove, it should be its residential tree lined streets with a village center, not the continuation of the type of development that is on 27th Avenue, north of U.S. 1. Please don't make the Grove, thru your zoning, become just another commercial area in Miami; it is something special that the City should value. i 23 70: The Miami Planning - advisory Board This is to express the concern and objections that .:e, the owners of the 10 apogee CondoM4ni,,-S at 3120 thru 313A Center Street, have to the adcotion of SPI-13/ special public interest district for -"h Avenue in Coconut Grove on the creation of RG-2.1/3.3 along Center Street. The specifications proposed in the planning fact sheet dated _Novet'lber 25, 198^ need to 'Ce revised to insure preservation of the Grove's special character. ;' e continuing zoning vioyati ns at the corner of uav avenue and Center Street ill,,:s`.rate the imccrtance of having effective specifications and the capacity to strongly enforce _hem. .:e would first point out that the plan^.ing fact c ,eet ccsad :or _ne SPI-1.3 .Strut contains two substantial concectual err:rs - are _n t,-e '^e of activity etipected'from th_s rezoning and second _"e tec'nnical -zeci cati of the proposed new buildings. First, both land and construction costs in Eoccnut Grove t:^at new building's tenants receive a high volume of sales income per square fcct, such as in a Mayfair or Commador Plaza type of office or shop. :.ow _,sere per Square foot tenants such as drug store, newstands, hardware stores, etc., cannot afford the rents. Only a few of the permissable retail uses in SPT_-13 - jewelery stores, banks, gift shops and restaurants qualify to pay high rents. .n reality, despite the varied list of retail uses permissable in SPI-13, cnly a very few of these can economically be done in Coconut Grove today, Second, to permit retail and office space on 27th Avenue in 50' high buildings of a 1.0 floor area ratio with no setback fromthesidewalk will create towers blocking sunlight from adjacent residential areas that are surrounded by a sea of steel and parking. Existing examples of this are Grove Towers and the Bakery Center - the unattractiveness of 27th Avenue north of U,S. l will be brought to Coconut Grove, In short, the Grove will loose its special character with the adoption, as proposed, of SPI-13. { We urge the board to adopt the following changes to make an attractive SPI�13. { ) M, imw height of buildings should be 50' not 50'4 with a maXimum of 3 levels above grad, with only the first f; aor for retail spade, :his -110 31-Q r - 2 - Fill allow more light to come into t.".e adjacent residential areas an-, be :setter street scale. Forty (40') foot building height is permitted, if the ton two stories are residential only, and that they be set back a minimum of'10' From the plane of the lower stories to permit residential decks or roof terraces. _) parking must be telow street level. -ne land ace freed from reeding parking lots could make a more intense floor area ratio from 1.0 to 1.5 accep,tatle,for the residents and economical for the develczers. - wilding front setbacks should be staggered. One half would =:3ve no setback, and nalf Z0' from the sidewalk. A 27th A,.-enue .. _3nes cf traffic and no setbacks will create a canyon of anJ a ...n w al.' - for a Street, as is 27th Avenue north of U. S. setback areas be a minimum -of 20' deep and contain =r s, outdoor restaurants or, similar ou'blic spaces and be heavil': Landsca=e . (4) Landscaping requirements should be intense to maintain t'ne Grove's character and make the area more habitable. :ne 10' nigh tree required in the planning fact sheet is insignificant with larger structures. :Tees should have a minimum height of 20' clear truck for every 2-50 sq,are`eet of 'yard and every 30' of, frontage on 27th avenue. 7hat sideb'alks to brick, similar to that within center Grove, and that devei'ooers Should be legally responsible for planting and maintaining the landscape including , replacement should some trees die. A heavily landscaped buffer zone of a minimum of 20' should be required on all property boundaries facing or adjacent to a residential area. Landscaping of this buffer zone hould to asin(5), and sufficiently dense that the shrubbery effectively bloc's the view from one type of use/activity to another. (5) The yards adjacent to both streets and RS and RG districts should be 20' (not 151) on the commercial side and landscaped as a park or greenbelt - heavily treed and shrubbed with 20' trees/8' shrubs to fully buffer the commercial activity from the residential areas. No vehicle or delivery activity must be Permitted at the rear of these buildings or they will become alleyways with considerable noise pollution and crime potential, Deliveries to the buildings would be from the underground parKing areas. All services and trash remov-4l and access Shall be only From ?'nth ,avenue, d=psters, .'rash' transfomers, mechanical equipment may not be in the rear vards and must be under the stru,ct:urs and enclosed, or screened an. 40' from the rear property line such as not to result in ob;ectionable odors or noise.

The Planning Department has estimated that 7$� of the pVoperties along 27th Avenue will not be redeveloped under t.`_Le proposed changes withla the forecesable future, yet tho'ee •,roperti©s are likely to be adversely affected by the changes. 'xj doo:§ the minority got controlling considvretion? Tnis Association proposed an alternative -,plan to the City Commission during hearings for adoption in principle of, t;:o Pla=iing Department's report. The plan received no serious co:x--ideration,' z)ut we -still offer it as an alma:native acceptable to us. In the event that our opposition to the proposed re-•zonii.C* � continues to be overruled and the SPI-13 district i3 est:,blished, this Asscciation'3 position is that it should impose upon the' residential districts as little as poosible, cuid r e herel�r tlh submit for your conaidera.tion, a modification of t4lj4 tax o 0: propossd ordinance that rims issued by the Planning Dapr„rti-ncat.
