AREA GENERALLY BOUNDED BY COCOANUT AVENUE ON THE NORTH; i HL EAST; A LINE AND VIRGINIA STREET ON THE WL5F. Change of zoning classification from RG-1/3 to RG-2.1/3.3. REQUESTTo amend the zoning atlas for lots located on the south side of Cocoanut Avenue from Center Street to Virginia Street 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 ( l st Reading) and October` 23, 1986 (2nd Reading) receiving an - approval in principle. The amendment to the Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan was reviewed and approved by OCA (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 410166). 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.

So far the capacity has ap- )eared limited; wires of the Mated - .its would be like pipes that are fric- ionless, but still rather narrow. Many scientists believe the limita- ions will be overcome as research ontinues. 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. "I think the power companies will begin to took at situa- Id e 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.

Guillermo Olmedillo, Planning Department - North of Bird Avenue, land uses are not Deing modified, but the 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 'add I tI onTFAR? 9. Rich Hei senbotl ,. rownscape Homeowners Association - The challenge is to come up-witil a compromises, The setbacK 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. Brierly's proposal to trade-off underground parking for more FAR provides` some positive aspects; otherwise 50% of the parking will be under buildings at grades, Why not require underground parking in return for 'commercial on the ground floor? Why not have trees in the center median? If County doesnot pay for trees, maybe the City should pay. All of the neighbors are ready to compromise;' there should be modifications. 10, Walter Pierce, Assistant City Manager .

The area around 'Terremark should be rolled back to residential zoning. 13 Bob Fitzsimmons, 2550 Abaco Avenue Single-family residential property -owners need protection; he recommended that office uses be permitted on S.W. 27th Avenue not commercial.

Tony Marina, Property -owner on S.W. '27th Avenue - He needed to describe the past two years of discussions or S.W. Zlth Avenue 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 changes' 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 w a was promised was not delivered and they will seek individual re -zoning and possibly obtain more liberal oz ning. - 17, Mona Michelle These are our homes. 18.

Olmed log Planner I I Plan ing Department cNcLo:uccs Concerns .of attendants/response from the Planning Department _ 1. Brooks Brierly, 3126 Center Street - 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. PlanningDepartment: 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 to approve the 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. Apogee's proposal includes: Underground parking. 201 rear setback, bonuses in exchange for better design, 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 comercial space to serve the neighborhood. These services :have fled from the Village Center because of property val ues'r Page 1 of 7 • Files April 11, 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 developerswant 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-Duany 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 zoning changes? Page 2 of 7 WPM Wr4W'Iff 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 want SPI-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 Department: 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 no►t The changes proposed on S.W. 27th `Avenue are comprehensive, taring to create mechanisms to el iminateimpacts on residential neighborhoods. Page 3 of 7 I 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 Department: 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 Department: The intensity of development is satisfactory to developers and already more than what the neighborswould want. Barry Fellman, Tigertail Association Presented another version of Tigertail Avenue Plan. Why change zoning on S,W.-27th Avenue. SPI-13 is sufficient. Planning Department; r The only changes that Tigertoll Avenue proposes are to extend the SPA area to two eddition41 lots; end in the residential use Page a of 7 f311 Files April 17, 1987 on center street 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 live around the Terretnark Building and who do not want the rezoning of those properties. —_ Planning Department: The rezoning of those propertiesbrings relief to the owners abutting the office building. Louise Rubin, Center Street Downzone the property at Day Street and Center Street and the PDMU 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. Mona 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 furies, noise, traffic, etc. Y Page of 7 W y 31LI a • 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, mix use zoning; 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 Street and the PDMU) is greater 1.21; the proposal is 1.0. 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 Strut Opposed to the changes. Agrees with Tigertail Association. Opposed to increase in density. None of the compromises rendered in the workshop at the Planning Department are included.

Before you charge ahead, and maybe destroy the '.illa.e forever, Tease consider the following: — "'�:e Grove is a small village and any development should continue to reinforce that special village statement; i.e. commercial development should be in the village center, not a strip development on 271.h avenue that weakens the village core. The development of 27th .avenue with commercial, divides the existing residential areas on both sides of 27th Avenue and does not serve 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 27Lh Nvenue, 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. a �anuar"r 23 r t' To: The Miami Planning - ?,dvisory .guard . This is to e:caress the concern and objections that we, the owners of the 10 .apogee condominiums at 3124 thru 3138 Center Street, have to the 31-JoCtion of SPI-13/ special public interest district for 27th avenue in Coconut Grove on thecreationof RG-2.1/3.3'along Center Street. The specifications cr,cc'sed in the planning fact sheet dated November 25, 99;., need to he reV4 sed to insure preservation of the Grove's special character. "-.a continuing coning vic.3tio-s at the corner of ^av avenue and Center Street illustrate the ;:=crtance of having effective specifications and the capacity to strongly enforce the:;. ,.e would first point out that the planning fact sheet proposed fur t'-e SPI-_3 distr'ct contains t:Yo substantial conceztua' errors - are in the -e of activit,; expected from th'_s'rezoning and second in the tec"-14cal s:.ecificaticns of the proposed new buildings. First, both land and construction costs in Coconut Grove rewire that new building's tenants receive a high volume of sales income per square `cot, such as in a Mayfair or Commador Plaza type of office or shop. Low income tier square foot tenants such as drug store, newstands, hardware stores, etc., cannot afford the rents.Only a few of the permissable retail uses in -SPI-13 - jewelery stores, banks, gift shops and restaurants - qualify to pay high rents. In reality,` despite the varied list of retail uses permissable in SPI-3, only 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 from the sidewalk 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. 1 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-1�t (1? Wimw height of buildings should be 30 not 50' with a maximum of 3 l levels above groun d, with only the first floor for retail space, r will allow more light to come into the adjacent residential areas and 'lbe better street scale. Forty (40') foot tuilding height is permitted, if the tcp too stories "are residential only, and that they be set back a minimum of 1_0' from the plane of the lower stories to per residential decks or roof terraces. (2) Parking must ce helot; street level. The land space freed from needin^ parking lots could make a more intense floor area ratio from 1.0 to acceptable for the residents and economical _or the developers. ,) °ul:.-ing front set -backs should be staggered. One ha3'- .,'oulj have no etback, and half 20' from the sidewalk. A -,7th %--?n:e with ti lanes of traffic and no setbacks will create a canyon,of ^''1 _n7s a ,--. 3 runwav for a street as is 27th Avenue north of ...S. ..gat the set'ac areas be a minimum -of 20' deep and _ont3 ^.-ar';s, tlt000r restaurants or similar public spaces and be heavil•-Iandscaped. (4) Landscaping requirements should be intense to maintain tne'Grove's character and make the area more habitable. The 10' nigh, tree required in the planning fact sheet is insignificant with larger structures. Trees should have a minimum height of 20' clear truck for every 25.0 square feet of yard and every 30'-of frontage on 27th avenue. ':h3t sidewal'cs`:e brick, similar to that within center Grove, and that developers should 'ce legally responsible for planting and maintaining the landscape including replacement should some trees die. A heavily landscaped buffer zone of a minimumof20' should be required on all property boundaries facing or adjacent to a residential area. Landscaping of this buffer zone hould be as in (5) and sufficiently dense that the shrubbery effectively blocks 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 serwiices and trash removal and access shall be only from 1.7th J�f Trash dumpsters, transformer's, mechanical eq'aipment may not be in the rear yards and must be under the structure and enclosed, or screen^ 3: d 4O' fron the rear property line such as not to result, in o.'bjec`..i' 3na'.^1,e odors or noise.
