(collectively the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Property is an assemblage of two parcels totaling approximately
0.93 acres (40,917 square feet) located at the intersection of NW 22 Avenue and NW

areas which correspond to the Property's existing Zoning designation: the "East Parcel"

City of Miami Page 1 of 4 File ID: 5305 (Revision:) Printed On: 2/10/2023
WHEREAS, the West Parcel is zoned "76-8-0" Urban Core — Open and
developed with a single -story commercial structure and a car wash; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has submitted a request to change the zoning
classification of the East Parcel from "74-R" General Urban Transect Zone — Restricted
to "75-R" Urban Center Transect Zone — Restricted, and the West Parcel from "76-8-0"
Urban Core — Open to "76-8-L" Urban Core — Limited; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has also voluntarily proffered a draft Covenant (Matter
ID No. 20-970, attached hereto as Exhibit B) to provide a total of ten percent (10%) of
the housing units as a part of any multifamily residential rental or condominium
development on the Property at a purchase cost, value, or monthly rental, as applicable,
equal to or less than the amounts established by the applicable standards for those
individuals whose income is at or below eighty percent (80%) of the Area Median
Income; and
WHEREAS, the draft covenant indicates that the Units proffered pursuant to the
covenant shall not count towards satisfying Public Benefit contributions to achieve a
bonus in Height or Floor Area that may be requested at the time of redevelopment
under the Miami 21 Code; and
WHEREAS, the Property is located within the Marlins Park Neighborhood
Enhancement Team (NET) Area, and located one block to the north of W Flagler Street,
a city -designated Transit Corridor; and
WHEREAS, the request to rezone the East Parcel from "74-R" to "75-R," and the
West Parcel from "76-8-0" to "76-8-L" is consistent with the Property's existing future
land uses (FLU) of Medium Density Multifamily Residential and Restricted Commercial,
therefore, a companion Comprehensive Plan Amendment is not required; and
WHEREAS, Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a.3. and Section 7.1.2.8.f.2 of the Miami 21
Code provides that a change to the Miami 21 Atlas may be made only to the next
Transect Zone and shall maintain the goals of this Miami 21 Code to preserve
Neighborhoods and to provide transitions in intensity and Building Height; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Department reviewed the application and found that
the proposed zoning change from "74-R" to "75-R" for the East Parcel and from "76-8-
0" to "76-8-L" for the West Parcel is successional, however, deemed the request
inappropriate in light of the intent of the Miami 21 Code; and
WHEREAS, a review of the former Zoning Ordinance No. 11000 shows that the
East Parcel was designated "R-Y Multifamily Medium -Density Residential Zoning
District and "SD-12" Buffer Overlay District, and the West Parcel was designated "C-1"
Restricted Commercial and "SD-26" 22nd Avenue Special Overlay District; and
City of Miami Page 2 of 4 File ID: 5305 (Revision:) Printed On: 211012023
WHEREAS, with the adoption of the Miami 21 Zoning Code, the East Parcel was
rezoned to "74-R" General Urban Transect — Restricted and the West Parcel was
rezoned to "76-8-0" Urban Core Transect — Open; and
WHEREAS, no recent changes have been made to the Transect boundaries in
the area which follow the original lot lines of the Evanston Heights Plat (Recording Book
1, Page 56) and were maintained with the adoption of Miami 21; and
WHEREAS, although the densities of the existing "74" properties along the south
side of NW Flagler Terrace exceed what is permitted in "74" Transect Zone, the
requested change to "75-R" for the East Parcel would allow the encroachment of
additional Height, Density, and development capacity that is incompatible with the
existing one and two-story residential neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, the request to rezone the West Parcel from "76-8-0" to "76-8-L"
would not change the maximum Height or Density permitted, but would result in a down -
zoning to a less intense Transect Zone that effectively limits the intensity of Commercial
and Office uses along a well -established commercial corridor; and
WHEREAS, by only rezoning portions of this block to "75-R" and "76-8-1_," the
request does not fully comply with the transitional development pattern sought by Miami
21; and
WHEREAS, the requested change in zoning does not further the goals and
objectives of the Miami Neighborhood Comprehensive Plan; and
WHEREAS, the proposed change does not maintain the goals of the Miami 21
Code to preserve neighborhoods and provide transitions in intensity and building height;
and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Miami 21, Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.d.1, the Planning
Department recommends denial of the request to change the zoning classification of the
East Parcel from "74-R" General Urban Transect Zone — Restricted to "75-R" Urban
Center Transect Zone — Restricted, and the West Parcel from "76-8-0" Urban Core —
Open to "76-8-L" Urban Core — Limited; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant's voluntarily proffered Declaration of Restrictive
Covenants does not affect the Planning Department's recommendation or analysis; and
WHEREAS, the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board ("PZAB") has considered
the goals, objectives, and policies of the Miami Comprehensive Plan, the Miami 21
Code, and all other City regulations; and
WHEREAS, the PZAB has considered the need and justification for the proposed
change, including changing and changed conditions that make the passage of the
propose change unnecessary; and
WHEREAS, the PZAB, after careful consideration of this matter, deems it
advisable and in the best interest of the general welfare of the City of Miami ("City") and
City of Miami Page 3 of 4 File ID: 5305 (Revision:) Printed On: 211012023
