REQUEST Variance to permit construction of a 24-story office building with a 10-level parking garage on above site, as per plans on file, with the following variances: I.- FRONT SETBACK Flagler reet and S.W. lst Street: zero set back proposed for both frontages (10' setback for the first 9' of building height required). II.- DISTANCE FROM CENTERLINE OF STREET a Hagler Street (Tower):proposed (151' required) b) S.W. lst Street (Tower): 140.1' proposed (151' required) c) S.W. lst Street (Parking Garage): 37.5' proposed (54' required) 82-61 .r III.- FLOOR AREA RATIO (FAR) /.5 FAR proposed permitted). IV.- OFF-STREET LOADING SPACES Ott -street loa ing spaces proposed (5 off street loading spaces required). RECOMMENDATIONS PLANNING DEPT. DENIAL. There is no hardship which justifies granting the requested variances. The proposed development requests a 7.5 FAR compared with the 2.0 FAR allowed or an additional 187,737 square feet of commercial development. The project neither provides the 10 foot street setback nor the required building setbacks from the street centerline. Only three truck loading bays are provided. On the S.W. 1st Street side, over 100 linear feet of entrance to the truck loading bays and parking garage are indicated which would severely interfere with pedestrian movement on the sidewalks. In the "Downtown Miami Urban Design and Zoning Study" prepared by WMRT in 1973 a limit of 1200 off-street park- ing spaces per block was recommended. There are 685 parking spaces in this 10-story garage which occupies one-fourth of the block; the Revitco building has 302 parking spaces on one-fourth of the block; Dnly 213 parking spaces could be developed on the remaining one-half block before the recommended limit would be exceeded. The Planning Department is currently recommend- ing before the Planning Advisory Board a new CBD-2 zoning district which could be mapped for this block. The maximum FAR is 8; the FAR limit applicable to this building would be 7 recognizing bonuses for proximity to rapid transit and the provision of ground level pedestrian space. The proposed CBD-2 district would continue to require a 10 foot street setback, but the building wall could coincide with the base building line to a height of 100-' above grade where there would be a maximum 25 feet setback. The proposed new Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance generally reduces truck bay requirements but would still require four berths in this instance. In the proposed CBD-2 "8Z-601 District off-street parking is not required; but is per- mitted upon Conditional Use approval. At the request of the Department, the developer has prepared a "Flagler Office Project Parking Requirement and Traffic Impact Studies" which demontrates that the parking to be supplied is the least possible for this building even given the proximity to the Rapid Transit Station. REVISED PLANNING The Planning Department has re -considered the previous DEPARTMENT recommendation for denial and NOW RECOMMENDS THIS PROJECT RECOMMENDATION FOR APPROVAL, subject to conditions. AS READ AT THE ZONING BOARD The Department has considered the bonus FAR in the proposed HEARI;dG ON CBD-2 District and increased the bonus FAR for proximity 6/15/81 to Rapid Transit so that the FAR limit for this project would be 8. The developer has prepared a traffic study which demonstrates that there is adequate access to and egress from the building without impacting the street system and that the parking provided is the least possible, even given proximity to Rapid Transit. The Department recommends the following conditions: 1. That trucks not be allowed to park, load or unload from 7:30 - 9:30 A. M., and from 3:30 - 5:30 P.M. 2. That the developer provide a continuous 10' setback From Flagler Street and S.W. 1st Street by moving the exit stairways back. 3. That that portion of the building above the 112' above grade be setback IS' from the Flagler Street Base Buildina Line. PUBLIC .-JORKS Request the dedication of the S12.5' of Lots 4 and 5 and the dedication of the S5' of Lot 6, all of them within the zoned r/w of S.W. 1st Street. Driveways on S.W. 1st Street shall conform with City of Miami standards (minimum 5' from W. lot line, and 40' maximum length). Sidewalk pavers must be submitted for approval by Public Works Department. D.O.T.T. The following comments pertain to the submitted site plans: a. There appears to be no reason to have the westerly exit onto S.W. lst Street. By elimina- ting this drive, the substandard entrance may be widened to 15' to allow ease of access. b. No control for exiting or entering traffic gpt garage operations is shown on the plans. If there is to be any control features, they should be shown and must be taken into account for a func- tional design plan.
