Approximately 5265 N Miami Avenue
CASE NO: 07-00216zc1
Pursuant to Article 4, Section 401 and Article 22 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, the Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, the subject proposal for an amendment to the Zoning
Atlas has been reviewed as follows:
The subject property consists of one lot bordered on the west and north by N Miami
Avenue and NE 53rd Street (a complete legal description on file at the Hearing Boards
Office), requesting a zoning change from R-2 "Two -Family Residential" to G/I
"Government and Institutional".
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that on July 26 2007, under Resolution R-12934, the City Commission approved
the zoning change to G/I "Government and Institutional" designation for the entire block
minus the property that is the subject of this application. The ownership is now the same for
all the properties on this block.
• It is found that on May 12, 2008 this Board approved a Special Exception under resolution
R-08-037 allowing surface parking on the recently rezoned G/I portion of the block. It is also
found that at the same meeting the Board approved a variance under Resolution R-08-038
for required height of a masonry wall from 6'0 feet to 0'0 feet to separate the remaining
residential lot from the non-residential district with condition the applicant shall return in
three years and appear before the Board with a status report.
• It is found that the subject parcel is surrounded on the east and south by G/I "Government
and Institutional zoning designation. The requested change will allow this property to
become compatible and consistent with these surrounding properties on this block.
It is found that the parcel is not a part of R-2 "Two -Family Residential" area. Therefore, the
requested zoning change does not represent an intrusion of G/I "Government and
Institutional" uses into the residentially zoned area.
• It is found that on March 4, 2009 the Planning Advisory Board recommended approval of the
land use request from "Duplex Family Residential" to "Major Institutional, Public Facilities,
Transportation and Utilities" to City Commission.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the
application as presented.
