FLORIDA, AS AMENDED ("MIAMI 21 CODE"), BY CHANGING THE
ZONING CLASSIFICATION FROM "73-0," SUB -URBAN TRANSECT
ZONE - OPEN, TO "CS," CIVIC SPACE ZONE, FOR THE PROPERTY
LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY 3699 SOUTHWEST 1 AVENUE AND

PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT "A," ATTACHED AND
INCORPORATED; MAKING FINDINGS; CONTAINING A SEVERABILITY
CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, Arthur Noriega V, City Manager, on behalf of the City of Miami ("Applicant"),
submitted a request to change the zoning classification from 73-0," Sub -Urban Transect Zone
— Open, to "CS," Civic Space Zone, of the property located at approximately 3699 Southwest 1
Avenue and 3701 Southwest 1 Avenue, Miami, Florida (collectively, "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Property is an assemblage of two (2) parcels totaling approximately
30,042 square feet (0.689 acres) of land; and
WHEREAS, the Future Land Use Map ("FLUM") designation is Duplex — Residential;
and
WHEREAS, the request to rezone the Property from the 73-0," Sub -Urban Transect
Zone — Open, to the "CS," Civic Space Zone, is inconsistent with the Property's existing future
land uses ("FLU") of "Duplex — Residential"; therefore, a concurrent Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan ("MCNP") amendment is required and has been submitted as a companion
application PZ-22-15757; and
WHEREAS, the application to amend the FLUM of the MCNP under PZ-22-15757 would
amend the FLU of the Property from "Duplex — Residential" to "Public Parks and Recreation";
and
WHEREAS, the proposed FLU designation of "Public Parks and Recreation" under PZ-
22-15757 is consistent with the proposed zoning of "CS" Civic Space Zone; and
WHEREAS, the Property is currently vacant land and is bordered by single-family and
multi -family residential uses; and
WHEREAS, the Property is bounded by Southwest 1 Avenue to the north, South Dixie
Highway to the south, a multi -family residential parcel to the east, and a single-family residential
parcel to the west; and
City of Miami File ID: 13974 (Revision:) Printed On: 811112023
WHEREAS, Property is located in a portion of the East Shenandoah neighborhood
where there are not a variety of zoning designations, commercial uses, and housing types; and
WHEREAS, the Property was zoned "R-2" under the previous 11000 Zoning Code,
which permitted eighteen (18) dwelling units per acre; and
WHEREAS, the proposed "CS" Civic Space Zone classification would result in lower
Intensity and Density; and
WHEREAS, the application is consistent with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.f.1.(a) of the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended ("Miami 21 Code"), in that the
rezone of the Property from 73-0," Sub -Urban Transect Zone — Open, to "CS," Civic Space
Zone, is consistent with and helps further the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the MCNP; and
WHEREAS, this request to rezone the Property is consistent with MCNP Goal PR-1 to
provide sufficient opportunities for active and passive recreation to all City of Miami ("City")
residents based on access to parks, recreation and open space, per capita park funding, and
regular surveys of residents on park and recreation needs; and
WHEREAS, this request to rezone the Property is consistent with the MCNP Objective
PR-1.1 to provide a park within a ten (10) minute walk of every resident; and
WHEREAS, the application is consistent with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.f.1.(b) of the
Miami 21 Code in that there is a need for more public parks and open spaces in the surrounding
area as this location is not served by any existing park service areas and developing the
Property into a public park would provide a new park within a ten-minute barrier -free walk to
residential units that currently have no parks within walking distance as required by Levels of
Service (LOS) defined in the MCNP, deeming the changes necessary and consistent; and
WHEREAS, the application is consistent with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.f.2 of the Miami
21 Code in that the proposed "CS," Civic Space Zone, is a lesser Transect Zone from the
existing 73-0," Sub -Urban Transect Zone — Open, and is therefore successional under Article
7, the Section 7.1.2.8.a. definition of Successional Zoning; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Department, after review and analysis, recommends approval
of the rezoning application from 73-0," Sub -Urban Transect Zone — Open, to the "CS," Civic
Space Zone; and
WHEREAS, the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board (TZAB"), at its meeting on May 3,
2023, following an advertised public hearing, adopted Resolution No. PZAB-R-23-050 by a vote
of ten to zero (10-0), Item No. PZAB. 4, recommending approval of the Zoning Change; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission has considered the need and justification for the
proposed change, including changing and changed conditions that make the passage of the
proposed change necessary; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission has considered the Planning Director's
recommendation; and
WHEREAS, due consideration has been given to the goals, objectives, and policies of
the MCNP, the Miami 21 Code, and all other City regulations; and
WHEREAS, the proposed zoning change is appropriate in light of the intent of the Miami
21 Code; and
City of Miami File ID: 13974 (Revision:) Printed On: 811112023
WHEREAS, the proposed change maintains the goals of the Miami 21 Code to preserve
neighborhoods and provide transitions in intensity and building height; and

set forth herein;
