RECOMMENDATIONS
'PLATEM DEPT. APPROVAL OF THE CONDITIONAL USE PARKING AND HEIGHT VARIANCE;
DENIAL OF ME VARIANCE REQUESTS FOR COMPACT PARKING SPACES,
IFF-MMET LOADING SPACES, AND REDUCED iDADING BAYS.
Off -Street parking is a necessary component of a 'mixed u,;e
development. Four hundred and one parking spaces are being
provided for the 293,482 gross square foot building or a
ratio of 1 space per 732 square feet of gross floor area.
The City has consistently approved variances for the height
of a structure in the C-3 zoning district. The 425' height
will not have an adverse impact on surrounding properties.
The request for a greater percentage of compact parking
spaces (63% vs. 40% allowed) is not in keeping with
current demand and usage. Off-street loading spaces are
necessary for proper development. New Zoning Ordinance
SSW would require 6 off-street truck loading bays
12' X 35'. Truck loading bays must be of sufficient size
to accommodate deliveries from large trucks (see previous
recommendations on Ordinance 9500).
PUBLIC WORKS: Request the dedication of the north 10' of lots 5 and
fr and also the south 5' of lots 12 and 13.
MMG-MADE PWD The PWD recommends against the rested variances
of required number and size of reading spaces.

Gentlemen:
This letter of intent accompanies the zoning application of
City National Bank, et al., for property located at the southeast
corner of the intersection of N.W. First Street and N.W. Miami
Court, lots 5 and 6, block 115N, City of Miami (Plat Book B, Page
41, of the Public Records of Dade County). The applicant pro-
poses a thirty-six level mixed -use project including two levels
of retail, thirteen levels of parking, seventeen levels of
office, three mechanical and roof levels and a circular rooftop
restaurant at the thirty-sixth level for an approximately 425
feet high structure. The building will be constructed in two
phases, with the retail, parking and possibly two office levels
constituting the first phase of the project.

and Zoning
Department
1) Conditional Use for Parking Garage.
The applicant requests that a conditional use permit be
granted in accordance with Article XV, Section 2(8)(a) and Arti-
cle XXXII of the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, to con-
struct the approximately 401 space parking garage as described
above and as shown on the plans accompanying this zoning applica-
tion.
The granting of the conditional use is in the public inter-
est and will not adversely affect the public interest, welfare,
and safety in any way. The plans of this project clearly depict
the manner in which ingress and egress have been provided for
with attention to automotive and pedestrian safety and conve-
nience, and traffic flow and control. No adverse effects are
expected on adjacent properties and properties generally in the
district. The proposed use is compatible and in harmony with
adjacent properties, and others in the district. The need has
been demonstrated for this facility in downtown Miami. Our
-traffic consultant, David Plummer and Associates, has analyzed
the demand for parking created by this project's proposed retail -
office uses and surrounding uses, and has concluded that the
demand justifies the proposed use. Report enclosed as Exhibit
"A". The garage will adequately serve the building in which it
will be located, as well as the area in which it is proposed.
Mr. Plummer's analysis further establishes that the traffic gen-
erated by this structure will not detract from existing levels of
service on the roadways in downtown Miami.
2) Height Variance for 425 Feet Parking -Office Structure.
The applicant requests that a variance be granted from the
300 feet height limitation in Article XV, Section 6 to allow
construction of this proposed mixed -use building to a height of
approximately 425 feet as shown on the plans accompanying this
application. The reasonable use of property in the C-3 district
in downtown Miami has of recent years been equated with high-rise
mixed -use structures. Buildings are being constructed in excess
of 500 feet high at the present time in this district, and the
300 feet limitation seems neither desirable nor practical.
Literal interpretation of this limitation would deprive the
applicant of rights commonly enjoyed in this district and would
create an undue and unnecessary hardship on the applicant. No
special privilege is requested. Other buildinqs in this district
which either ,presently or in the future are proposed to exceed

300 feet include: One Biscayne Tower (452 feat), Southeast
Financial Tower (765 feet), Edward Ball Building - Miami Center
(485 feet), Theodore Gould proposed building (825 feet), Freedom
Tower project (680 feet) . The variance, if granted, will be in
harmony with the general intent and purpose of the zoning ordi-
nance, and will not be detrimental to the public. welfare. Fur-
ther, the FAA has determined that the proposed structure will not
be a hazard to air navigation. See enclosed Exhibit "B". It is
also exceeded in height by the new Dade Administration Building
(517 feet) two blocks to the west, which the FAA has similarly
determined was not such a hazard. See Downtown Government Center
- Phase One Development Order, July, 1981.
The peculiar circumstance in this application is the loca-
tion of the subject parcel in a district with an unjustified
height limitation. The size, shape and natural features of the
property justify the height proposed by the applicant. The ordi-
nance impairs the owner's right to this reasonable use of the
property.
3) Variance to Allow in Excess of 40 Per Cent Compact
Spaces.
The applicant requests a variance from the requirements of
Article XXIII, Section 2, of the Zoning Ordinance to allow
approximately 252 out of 401 spaces, or approximately 63%, to be
compact spaces (40% allowed). While Article XXIII, Section 1
exempts structures within the C-3 district from the off-street
parking provisions of that article, the language of Article
XXIII, Section 2(2) states that its off-street parking provisions
apply for parking spaces "required or provided."
The use of smaller sized cars in the United States is
clearly an established trend that has been ongoing for some time
now. The probability is that a greater number of people will
have smaller cars than larger cars in the future, and the design
of parking facilities for use into the end of the twentieth and
beginning of the twenty-first centuries should follow this trend.
The imposition of this requirement on the applicant therefore is
an unnecessary hardship. Furthermore, the size and configuration
of this parcel limits the number of spaces which can be provided
to serve larger cars, and in order to provide the necessary
number of spaces to support this project, the ratio of compact to
regular size spaces must be modified to provide a workable garage
design.

The hardship, therefore, is not self-imposed, no special
privilege is created by granting this request, and the purpose
and intent of the zoning code are upheld.
4) Variance to Allow 2 Off -Street Loading Spaces.
The applicant requests that a variance be granted from
Article XXIII, Section 7, of the Zoning Ordinance to allow two
(2) off-street loading spaces (five (5) required).. Off-street
loading spaces are calculated based upon the square footage of
the various uses provided in the proposed project. Because of
the constrained size and configuration of the site, and the impo-
sition of a 10 feet base building line on N.W. First Street
resulting in a reduced buildable site, imposition of this
requirement would impose an additional unnecessary hardship on
the applicant and unnecessarily deter from certain uses proposed
for this project. The three additional off-street loading spaces
would have to be provided at street level, eliminating ground
-level retail uses which staff encourages in this downtown dis-
trict.
As the major use in the building will be office, with major
truck deliveries for the offices generally of furniture during
the weekend, scheduling of major deliveries can be arranged so
that the two spaces provided can sufficiently serve the build-
ing's retail and restaurant uses during the week and major office
needs during the weekend. Typical daily deliveries for office
uses include courier services and office supplies, neither of
which causes a truck to be on site for a significant period of
time. Further, typically these services use van type trucks
which should be able to use the parking garage for small deliv-
eries and keep the two loading spaces clear for the larger
trucks. Also, a loading zone on N.W. First Street and/or N.W.
Miami Court would be preferable to reducing the desired retail
space on the ground floor of the building.
5) Approval of Reduced Size Off -Street Loading Spaces.
Applicant requests approval of reduced size off-street load-
ing spaces, in accord with Article XXIII, Section 7(8) of the
Zoning Ordinance, to allow 12 feet by 35 feet loading spaces (12
feet by 45 feet required).

As stated above, the deliveries associated with this struc-
ture will not be such as to normally involve service by vehicles
requiring the 45 feet loading space length required by the Zoning
Ordinance. Furthermore, the size and configuration of the site
preclude the applicant from providing spaces of the size re-
quired. Article XXIII, Section 7(8) specifically,recognizes such
circumstances and authorizes the Zoning Board to reduce the
required dimensions upon such findings. Furthermore, the new
Zoning Ordinance provides for a loading space dimension in accord
with the dimensions applicant proposes: 12 feet by 35 feet. See
Proposed Zoning Ordinance 52023.2. In accordance with the above,
therefore, and as imposition of these space requirements would
result in an unneccessary hardship on the applicant and the
granting of this request will not adversely affect the public
interest, welfare, and safety the applicant requests approval of
this request.
We believe that the sought after approvals are totally con-
sistant with the City of Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan
(1976 - 1986) which identifies the site in the Central Business
District and recommends that development in this area:
"Provide a wide variety of businesses
and resiaential opportunities within an
intensely developed urban center offering a
range of commercial, cultural, recreational
facilities, 24-hour activities, a pedestrian
orientation, and a sensitive response to the
climate and culture."
We appreciate your consideration of the above requests and
accompanying applications, and respectfully urge your favorable
review and approval thereof.
