,and contributes to the distinctive
quality or identity of such neighbor-
hood or the city; or
(Archeological Significance)
10. Has yielded, or may be likely to yield,
information important in pre -history or
history.
(b) Procedures for designation of HC zoning dis-
tricts
Properties which meet the criteria for
historic sites, historic districts, or arche-
ological zones set forth in paragraph (5)(a)
may be zoned HC according to the following
procedures:
1. Proposals and Preliminary Evaluation
Proposals for rezoning of potential his-
toric sites, historic districts, and
archeological zones to the HC zoning
classification may be made to the Board
by any one of its members, the Planning
Department, the Dade County Historic
Preservation Board, or any interested
citizen. The Board shall conduct a pre-
liminary evaluation of the data provided
in the proposal for conformance with
criteria set forth in paragraph (5)(a);
and may, if appropriate, direct the
Planning Department to prepare a formal
designation report and ordinance. The
11M
9425
Board may require the party initiating
such proposal to provide any necessary
documentation, and to pay any applicable
fees.
2. Preparation of ordinance for individual
HC zoning amendments
For every proposed historic site, histo-
ric district, and archeological zone the
Planning Department shall prepare a
zoning amendment ordinance and historic
designation report containing the fol-
lowing:
a. Proposed boundaries
Boundaries for individual historic
sites shall generally include the
entire property or tract of land,
unless such tract is so large that
portions thereof are visually and
functionally unrelated to any
significant historic improvement.
Proposed historic district boun-
daries shall in general be drawn to
include all appropriate properties
reasonably contiguous within an
area and may include properties
which individually do not conform
to the historic character of the
district, but which require regula-
tion in order to control poten-
tially adverse influences on the
character and integrity of the dis-
trict. Where reasonably feasible
in relation to the purpose of HC
11
*4 4
zoning, historic district boun-
daries shall include frontage on
both sides of streets, and divide
the proposed historic district from
other zoning districts at rear lot
lines, side street lines, or at
other points where divisions will
create minimum inter -district fric-
tions. Archeological zone boun-
daries shall generally conform to
natural phys iog raph ic features
which were the focal points for
prehistoric and historic activi-
ties.
b. optional internal boundaries.
Internal boundaries may subdivide
the HC zoning district into sub-
areas and transitional areas as
appropriate for regulatory pur-
poses.
If a proposed historic site or his-
toric district is visually related
to surrounding areas in such a way
that actions in the surrounding
area would have potentially adverse
environmental influences on its
character and integrity, proposed
boundaries for such transitional
areas may be included within the HC
zoning district.
C. Detailed regulations
Every historic site, historic dis-
trict, and archeological zone shall
12
q
0
be assigned a set of detailed
zoning district regulations, iden-
tified by the prefix HC and a clas-
sification number identifying the
particular set of regulations,
as for example HC-1, HC-2, HC-3,
etc. The zoning amendment designa-
ting each individual historic site,
historic district, or archeological
zone shall either assign a pre-
viously existing classification of
HC regulations, or it may set forth
a new set of regulations as appro-
priate for the particular situa-
tion.
Such regulations may be designed
to supplant or modify any element
of existing zoning regulations,
including but not limited to use,
floor area ratio, density, height,
setbacks, parking, minimum lot
size, etc., or create any addi-
tional regulations provided for in
this Section. The zoning amendment
may identify individual properties,
improvements, landscape features,
or archeological sites or cate-
gories of properties, improvements,
landscape features, or archeolo-
gical sites for which different
regulations, standards, and proce-
dures may be required.
d. Designation report
13
942.5
�-AW
A report shall be submitted with
the zoning amendment ordinance,
establishing and defining the his-
toric, significance and character of
the proposed historic site, his-
toric district, or archeological
zone, setting forth the criteria
upon which the designation of the
HC zoning district and its boun-
daries are based, and describing
the improvements and landscape
features of public s ignif icance,
present trends and conditions, and
desirable public objectives for
future conservation, development,
or. redevelopment. The report
shall identify the major exterior
surfaces of any improvements or
landscape features which contri-
bute significantly to the historic
character of the historic site or
historic district.
e. Optional designation of interiors
Normally, interior spaces shall not
be subject to regulation under this
section; however, in cases of exis-
ting structures having exceptional
architectural, artistic, or histo-
rical importance, interior spaces
which are customarily open to the
public may be specially designated.
The zoning amendment ordinance
shall describe precisely those fea-
14
9425
q*
tures subject to review and shall
set forth standards and guidelines
for such regulation.
3. Heritage Conservation Board Findings and
Recommendation
The Board shall conduct a Public Hearing
with notice as set forth in Chapter 166,
Florida Statutes (1981). If the Board
finds that the proposed HC zoning dis-
trict meets the criteria set forth in
paragraph (5)(a) of this Section for a
historic site, historic district, or
archeological zone, it shall transmit
such findings to the Planning Advisory
Board and the City Commission along
with its recommendation for an HC
zoning amendment. If the Board finds
that the proposed HC zoning district
does not meet the criteria for a his-
toric site, historic district, or
archeological zone in paragraph (5)(a)
of this Section, no further action shall
be required unless the property owner or
a community based non-profit organiza-
tion makes written request to proceed
with the HC zoning amendment process in
paragraph (5)(b)4 below. The Board may
rehear proposals based upon policies
set forth in its Rules of Procedure.
4. 11C Zoning Amendment
Where consideration of an HC zoning
amendment is required by paragraph
(5)(b)3 above, actions and procedures
shall be as provided in Article XXX-
15
44
AMENDMENTS. Recommendations of the
Planning Advisory Board shall be based
upon effects of the proposed HC zoning
district regulations on the Miami Com-
prehensive Neighborhood Plan or other
adopted planning and zoning policies,
but should not involve an evaluation of
historic significance of the proposed
zoning district.
5. Moratorium
Following the date of a Public Hearing

IIi
Board has subsequently adopted addi-
tional standards and guidelines for a
particular HC zoning district, decisions
relating to alteration or new construc-
tion shall be guided by the U.S. Secre-
tary of the Interior's Standards for
Rehabilitation.
(b) Demolition of Existing Improvi3ments
1. The Board shall have authority to (eny a
dei-,iolition permit only where such autho-
rity is provided within applicable
zoning district regulations as a result
of granting special incentives for pre-
servation of an historic improvement,
such as, but not limited to, transfer of
development rights, floor area ratio
bonus, and special exceptions for set-
backs, lot coverage, parking, etc.
2. The Board may grant a Certificate of
appropriateness with a delayed effective
date up to six (6) months. The effec-
tive date shall be determined by the
Board based upon the relative signifi-
cance of the improvement, the probable
time required to arrange an alternative
to demolition, and whether the applicant
has made a clear determination of
unreasonable or undue economic, hardship.
3. During the demolition delay period, the
Board may take such steps as it deems
necessary to preserve the improvement
concerned, in accordance with the pur-
poses of this Section. Such steps may
25
include, but shall not be limited to,
consultation with civic groups, public
agencies and interested citizens, recom-
mendations for acquisition of property
by public or private bodies or agencies,
and exploration of the possibility of
moving the subject improvement.
4. During the demolition delay period, the
owner shall permit access to the subject
property for the purpose, of appraisals
and inspections required by the Board.
If the Board finds that the owner has
refused a "bona fide" offer to purchase
or otherwise provide compensation for
the subject improvement or property for
fair market value by any public or
private person or agency which gives
reasonable assurance of its willingness
to preserve such improvement on its
original site or on a site approved by
the Board, it may invalidate the Certi-
ficate of Appropriateness, following a
public hearing.
5. In connection with any Certificate of
Appropriateness, standard or special,
for demolition of improvements in an HC
zoning district, the Board may require
at the owner's expense, salvage and pre-
servation of specified classes of build-
ing materials, architectural details and
ornaments, fixtures, and they like for
re -use in restoration of other historic
properties. The Board may also require
26
s
at the owner's expense the recording of
the improvement for archival purposes
prior to (lemolition. The recording may
include, but shall not br) limited to,
photographs and measured architectural
drawings. `-
(c) Proving of Existing Improvements
Generally, moving of significant improvements
from their original location shall he discou-
raged; however, the Board may grant a Certi-
ficate of. Appropriateness if it finds that no
reasonable alternative is available for pre-
serving the improvement on its original site
and that the proposed relocation site is com-
patible with the historic and architectural
integrity of the improvement. The Board may
issue a Certificate with a delayed effective
date up to six (6) months in order to explore
alternatives to moving the improvement in
question.
(d) Removal or Destruction of Existing Landscape
Features
1. No Certificate of Appropriateness sha11
be granted for removal, relocation, con-
cealment or effective destruction by
damage of any landscape features or
archeological sites especially desig-
nated as significant within a historic
site or historic district Loner] HC
unless one of the following conditions
exists:
a. The designated landscape feature or
a.rcheolog ical site is located in
27
t-` 4 5
J
the buildable area or yard area
where a structure nay be placed and
unreasonably restricts the per-
mitted use of the property; or
b. The designated vegetation is
inappropriate in a historical con-
text or otherwise detracts from the
character of an HC zoning district,
or
c. The designated vegetation is
diseased, injured, or in danger of
falling, unreasonably interferes
with utility service, creates
unsafe vision clearance or con-
flicts with other applicable laws
and regulations.
2. As a condition contained in the Certifi-
cate of Appropriateness, the applicant
may be required to relocate or .replace
designated vegetation.
(e) Construction, Excavation or other Disturbance
in Archeological Zones
In cases where new construction, excavation,
tree removal, or any other activity may
disturb or reveal an interred archeological
site, the Board may issue a Certificate of
Appropriateness, Standard or Special, with a
3elayed effective date up to forty-five (45)
days. During the delay period the applicant
shall permit the subject site to be examined
under_ the supervision of an archeologist
approved by the Board. A Certificate of
Appropriateness may be denied if the site is
28
a
44 J
of exceptional importance and such denial
would not unreasonably restrict the primary
use of the property.
( `3) SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCE-
MENT IN 1IC ZONING DISTRICTS
(a) Variances
The general provisions for HC zoning dis-
tricts and regulations provided within indi-
vidual HC zoning districts shall not be sub-
ject to the provisions of ARTICLE XXXI -
VARIANCI]S. Instead, where by reason of
particular_ site conditions and constraints,
or because of unusual circumstances appli-
cable solely to the particular applicant,
strict enforcement of the provisions of HC
regulations would result in an unnecessary,
unreasonable and undue hardship, the Board
shall have the po•.ver to modify adherence to
such TIC regulations; provided always that
its requirements ensure harmony with the in-
tent and purposes hereof and will not ad-
versely affect the public welfare. Any such
modifications shall only be made through the
granting of a Special Certificate of Appro-
priateness as provided in paragraph (7)(d).
(b) Amendments
Applications for amendments to existing HC
zoning districts shall be processed according
to the provisions of ARTICLE, XXX-AMENDMENTS;
provided, however, that all such applications
shall be submitted to the Board for review
and recommendation prior to any final action
on such application; and provided that no
29
'. `.:� "r
J
action resulting from such application shall
have the effect of eliminating the require-
ment for Certificates of. Appropriateness as
otherwise provided in this Section. Where
the Board has issued a Certificate of Appro-
priateness for demolition or moving of the
improvement or feature of principal historic
significance on a historic site, the HC.
zoning classification may be withdrawn
through the amendment process.
(c) Ordinary Maintenance and Repair
Clothing in this Section shall be construed to
prevent the ordinary maintenance or repair of
any improvement which does not involve an
alteration; or to prevent ordinary mainte-
nance of landscape features.
(d) Enforcement of Maintenance and Repair
Provisions
Where the Board or the Heritage Conservation
Officer determines that any improvement
within an HC zoning district is endangered by
lack of maintenance and repair, or that other
improvements in visual proximity to an HC
zoning district lack maintenance and repair
to such an extent as to detract from the
desirable character of the HC zoning dis-
trict, it shall request appropriate officials
or agencies of the City to require correction
of such deficiencies under authority of
applicable laws and regulations.
(e) Unsafe Structures
In the event the Building Official determines
that any structure within an HC zoning dis-
30
f P.� 5
J
trict is unsaEe pursuant to Section 202 of
the South Florida Building Code, he shall
immediately notify the Board with copies of
such findings. Where reasonably feasible
within applicable laws and .regulations, the
Building official shall endeavor_ to have the
structure repaired rather than demolished,
and shall take into consideration any com-
ments and recommendations by the Board. The
Board may take appropriate actions to effect
and accomplish preservation of such struc-
ture, including but not limited to negotia-
tions with the owner and other interested
parties, provided that such actions do not
interfere with procedures in Section 202 of
the Building Code.
(f) Emergency Conditions
For the purpose of remedying emergency condi-
tions determined to be imminently dangerous
to life, health or property, nothing con-
tained herein shall prevent the making of
any temporary construction, reconstruction,
demolition or other repairs to an improve-
ment, landscape feature, or site in an HC
zoning district pursuant to an order of a
government agency or a court of competent
jurisdiction, provided that only such work as
is reasonably necessary to correct the hazar-
dous condition may be carried out.
The owner of an improvement damaged by fire
or natural calamity shall be permitted to
stabilize the improvement 'immediately and to
rehabilitate it later under the normal review
31
9 4
t i
procedures of this Section.
(g) Inspections
The Department of Building and Zoning Inspec-
tion shall assist the Board by making neces-
sary inspections in connection with enforce-
ment of this Section. The Director of the
Building and Zoning Department shall be
responsible to promptly stop any work
attempted to be done without or contrary to
any Certificate of Appropriateness required
under this ,section; and shall further be
responsible for ensuring that any work not in
accordance with an issued Certificate of
Appropriateness shall be voluntarily
corrected to comply with the Certificate, or
that authorized civil and criminal prosecu-
tion is initiates promptly.
(h) Violations
Any person who carries out or causes to be
carried out any work in violation of this
Section shall be required to .restore the
subject improvement, landscape feature, or
site either to its appearance prior to the
violation or in accordance with a Certificate
of Appropriateness approved by the Board.
This civil remedy shall be in addition to and
not in lieu of any criminal prosecution and
penalty otherwise provided in Article XXXVII
of Ordinance No. 6871 the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance."
Section 2. The HERITAGE CONSERVATION ZONING DIS-
TRICT GENERAL PROVISIONS, as established hereby, is intended
to be incorporated into the proposed new Zoning Ordinance of
32

J
the City of ifijmi, Florida as ARTICLE 16, when and if such
Ordinance may be passocl and adopted by the Miami City Com-
mission.
Section 3. That all Ordinances, Code Sections or
parts thereof in conflict herewith are hereby repealed inso-
far as they are in conflict.
Section 4. Should any part or provision of this
Ordinance be declared by a court of competent jurisdiction
to be invalid, the same shall not affect the validity of
the Ordinance as a whole.

Revisions to Heritage Conservation
r.7 Ordinance for 2nd Reading
Jose6j W. McManus
Acting Director
Planning Department
The City Commission approved the Heritage Conservation ordi-
nance on 1st Reading, April 22, 1982, with the exception of
a motion that would give the property owner the final decision
over demolition of an historic structure. In attempting to
draft language to reflect such a change in the ordinance, we
have realized that several recently approved zoning district
regulations would be in direct conflict with a literal inter-
pretation of the motion (see attached exerpts from C-2A, MXD,
and SPD-5). These ordinances reflect an established City
Commission policy that when a property owner voluntarily
accepts a bonus for historic preservation, he must give up
the right to demolish the structure for which he received
special benefits. Therefore, we have submitted the following
language which will resolve the conflict with existing regu-
lations and preserve what we believe to be the intent of the
City Commission.
(8)(b) Demolition of Existing Improvements
"1. The Board shall have authority to deny a demoli-
tion permit only where such authority is provided
within applicable zoning district regulations as
a result of granting special incentives for
preservation of an historic improvement, such as
but not limited to transfer of development rights,
floor area ratio bonus, and special exceptions
for setbacks, lot coverage, parking, etc."
Several paragraphs related to denial of a demolition permit
have been deleted from the ordinance for 2nd reading. These
were previously numbered: (8) (a) , (8) (b) , (8) (c) , and (8) (d)
2.a. On page 21, paragraph 2: "No decision of the Board
shall result in an unreasonable economic hardship for the owner."
should be inserted after the 2nd sentence, in order to replace
a similar statement deleted in (8)(a) of the previous ordinance.

(5) The floor area ratio may be increased by .25
for that portion of a property designated
historic by the City of Miami Commission
when the historic structure on that site is
preserved in place or moved to an approved site
within or adjacent to the C-2A district. The
historic structure shall be preserved, reha-
bilitated or restored according to the
Secretary of the Interior's Standards for
Historic Preservation Projects.
The floor area in said historic structure
shall not count in permitted floor area as
per Section 8 of this district. Floor area
development rights for anv designated historic
prQ.perty may be transferred to another property
within the C-2A District provided that a record-
able instrument evidencing the transfer of
development rights shall be filed as a matter
of record in the Building Department of the
Citv of Miami and the Circuit Court of Dade
County, Florida. The floor area bonus
described above may be transferred as a Dart
of the development rights of designated
historic property. No demolition permit shall• •
be issued for said historic structure i
so long as any development constructed through
the bonus provision of transferred development
rights is in existence ,

servation Board, criteria and procedures for desig-
nation of Heritage Conservation zoning districts, require-
ments for Certificates of Appropriateness, and spe-
cial provisions for administration and enforcement;
and providing for inclusion of same as ARTICLE 16
of the proposed new Zoning Ordinance of the City
of Miami, Florida.
and
b) Consideration of amendment to Chapter 62, Zoning
and Planning, of the Miami City Code by adding a
new ARTICLE VII HERITAGE CONSERVATION BOARD; pro-
viding -for establishment; membership; functions,.
powers, and duties generally; proceedings; com-
pensation; and Heritage Conservation Officer ap-
pointment and duties.
and
c) Consideration of amendment to Chapter 17 ENVIRON-
MENTAL PRESERVATION of the Miami City Code by
deleting Section 17-4, Environmental preserva-
tion review board, and substituting a new Sec-
tion 17-4 Heritage Conservation Board; deleting
Section 17-5 Administrative assistant to en-
vironmental preservation review board and substi-
tuting in lieu thereof a new Section 17-5 Heri-
tage Conservation Officer; deleting all other
references to the environmental preservation
review board and substituting in lieu thereof
the Heritage Conservation Board; and providing
for a delayed effective date to coincide with
the official appointment of the Heritage Con-
servation Board.
BACKGROUND In September 1981, the City Commission approved
an Interim Heritage Conservation Zoning District
ordinance to establish general policies and pro-
cedures for regulation of a limited number of
historic sites, to take effect for one year while
a detailed permanent ordinance for Heritage Con-
servation is being implemented. Dade County
has provided a deadline of July 1, 1982 for the
City to approve a permanent ordinance, otherwise
the Dade County Historic Preservation Ordinance
will take effect within the City limits. Thus,
the permanent ordinance for the City of Miami is
being presented at this time, to allow sufficient
time for approval by July 1, and for appointment
and implementation of the new Heritage Conser-
vation Board prior to the expiration date of the
"Interim" ordinance in October 1982.
ANALYSIS 5a) The GENERAL PROVISTONS for the HC zoning districts
establish the legal basis and intent for regulat-
ing historic properties and describe the procedures
and guidelines to be used. There would be three
potential types of HC zoning districts: an indi-
vidual historic site, a historic district, and an
archeological zone. The Heritage Conservation
Board would make the initial determination as to
whether a property or area qualifies under the cri-
teria for historic designation. If so, then the
proposal would go through the normal zoning a-
mendment process to become an officially designated
HC zoning district. The zoning amendment may,
if appropriate, contain changes in any element of
the existing zoning district such as use, setbacks,
parking,etc. Once a property is zoned HC, the
Heritage Conservation Board or staff would re-
view and approve most changes in the exterior ap-
pearance of site improvements. Guidelines are
provided for such review process and safeguards
against economic hardship are established for
the owner.
5b) The HERITAGE CONSERVATION BOARD would be created
separately in the same chapter of the City
Code which creates the Planning Advisory Board
and Zoning Board. The HC Board would have nine
appointed citizens, six of which would have to
have special training and experience in fields
related to the work of the Board. The new HC
Board would also replace and take on the res-
ponsibilities of the existing Environmental
Preservation Review Board.
5c) In order to consolidate the Environmental Preser-
vation Review Board with the new Heritage Con-
servation Board, Chapter 17, ENVIRONMENTAL PRE-
SERVATION must be amended to change all references
to the Board. All other environmental regula-
tions would remain unchanged.
