On April 23, 2020, the Miami City Commission, per City Commission Resolution No. R-20- 0131, found that the West Grove has been plagued by economic blight. Pursuant to City Commission directive on September 10, 2020, the City of Miami, working with a consultant, completed a report to identify future housing opportunities within the West Grove community, titled "West Grove Affordable Housing Blueprint." At the October 13, 2022 City Commission meeting, the City Commission directed the City Manager and the City Attorney to take any and all actions to improve affordable housing within the Little Bahamas area of the City of Miami. Appendix A.2 of the Miami 21 Code contains the Neighborhood Conservation District regulations, titled "Village West Island District and Charles Avenue" ("NCD-2"). The intent of the NCD-2 is to identify and recognize areas in Coconut Grove that are historically significant; to promote gateways, gathering places, and activities corresponding to its culture and heritage; to compliment the character of the entire community and promote the history of the Island District; and to promote its successful revitalization and restoration. Pursuant to Appendix A.2.2 of the Miami 21 Code: Village West Island District is of special and substantial public interest due to the unique role of Grand Avenue and Douglas Road as the "Main Streets" for the surrounding Village West Island District Community and the unique Caribbean and Bahamian character and heritage of the Village West Island District in general. On Charles Avenue this NCD-2 will help define the uses and designs of buildings and help maintain the scale and character of the existing neighborhood. Both Village Island West and Charles Avenue illustrate the incomparable legacy of the African -American community to the City of Miami. The intent of NCD-2 is to identify and recognize this historical significance; to promote gateways, gathering places and activities corresponding to its culture and heritage; to compliment the character of the entire community and promote the history of the Island District, and to promote its successful revitalization and restoration.

Analysis 1 Policy LU-1.1.3: The City's zoning ordinance provides for protection of all areas of the city from: (1) the encroachment of incompatible land uses; (2) the adverse impacts of future land uses in adjacent areas that disrupt or degrade public health and safety, or natural or man- made amenities; (3) transportation policies that divide or fragment established neighborhoods; and (4) degradation of public open space, environment, and ecology. Strategies to further protect existing neighborhoods through the development of appropriate transition standards and buffering requirements will be incorporated into the City's land development regulations. Policy LU-1.1.7: Land development regulations and policies will allow for the development and redevelopment of well -designed mixed -use neighborhoods that provide for the full range of residential, office, live/work spaces, neighborhood retail, and community facilities in a walkable area and that are amenable to a variety of transportation modes, including pedestrianism, bicycles, automobiles, and mass transit. Policy LU-1.6.9: The City's land development regulations will establish mechanisms to mitigate the potentially adverse impacts of new development on existing neighborhoods through the development of appropriate transition standards and buffering requirements. The proposed change from 73-0" to 74-0" buffer from lower intensity 73-0" zones and the higher intensity 75-0" zones. Finding In accordance with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 (f)(1)(a) of Miami 21 Criteria 1 Code, the requested change from '73-0" to 74-0" is consistent. Criteria 2 7.1.2.8.f.1.b.

PZ-23-15996 �Av 02/22/23 Changes from "73-0" to "74-0" could alleviate the conditions of blight while supporting the intentions of maintaining the distinct character and heritage of Village West Island District. Finding In accordance with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 (f)(1)(b) of Miami 21 Criteria 2 Code, the requested change in zoning is consistent. Criteria 3 Section 7.1.2.8.f.2. "A change may be made only to the next intensity Transect Zone or by a Special Area Plan, and in a manner which maintains the goals of this Miami 21 Code to preserve Neighborhoods and to provide transitions in intensity and Building Height." Analysis Section 7.1.2.8 (a) establishes that changes shall occur in succession, Criteria 3 in which the zoning change may be made only to a lesser Transect Zone; within the same Transect Zone to a greater or lesser intensity; or to the next higher Transect Zone, or through a Special Area Plan. The proposed zoning changes are consistent with the successional zoning change requirements stated in the table in Section 7.1.2.8 (a)(3). The proposed zoning change from "73-0" to "74-0" are successional changes to a higher transect zone. Additionally, the existing zoning pattern of "73-0" adjacent to "75-0" does not have a buffer of higher and lower intensities. Introducing "74- 0" would create a transition in intensity and height between "73-0" and "75-0", consistent with the Miami 21 principal of transitional zoning. Finding Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.(f)(2) of Miami 21 Code, the Criteria 3 requested change from "73-0" to "74-0" is consistent. E. CONCLUSION Staff finds that the proposed request is consistent with the Rezoning Criteria Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.f. of the Miami 21 Code. Staff recommends Approval of the requested rezone.
