Plannings�� Council MEMORANDUM AGENDA ITEM #6b DATE: OCTOBER 5, 2009 TO: COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: STAFF SUBJECT: CITY OF MIAMI PROPOSED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (ALTERNATIVE REVIEW) Introduction On September 10, 2009, Council staff received proposed amendment package #09-1AR to the City of Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan for review of consistency with the Strategic Regional .Policy Plan for South Florida (SRPP). Staff review is undertaken pursuant to the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulation Act, Chapter 163, Part II, Florida Statutes (P.S.), and Rules 9J-5 and 9J-11, Florida Administrative Code (P.A.C.). Community Profile Miami, the second most populous city in the State, had a population of 406,242 in 2008, a 12.1°h increase from the year 2000 population. The City was incorporated in 1896. The City's economic bases are in tourism and international commerce with Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe. The City boasts an ethnically diverse population and serves as a major port of entry for immigration from foreign countries. Considered to be fully developed, the City nevertheless has approximately 1,000 acres (approximately 1.6 square miles) of vacant land scattered throughout the City on small parcels. In addition, much of the developed land is designated for land use densities greater than the existing development. With its location at the heart of the metropolitan area, and its access to mass transit, Miami is an ideal location for infill and redevelopment. The general location of the City is shown in Attachment 1. Summary of Staff Analysis Proposed amendment package #09-1AR contains several map amendments, as well as; text changes to the City of Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan(MCNP), as recommended by the Miami2l planning initiative. Miaqu21 was initiated by the City as a holistic land use and urban planning effort based on community input and focused on the quality of public spaces. The goals of Mianu2l were to develop a vision for the City and implementation strategies to move forward in a more sustainable direction. In addition to the proposed Comprehensive Plan amendments, the City has proposed to adopt new form -based Zoning Code (Code) with a focus on the, public realm and increasing individual mobility throughout Miami and within its neighborhoods, The Miami2l Code is also in the approval process; the first reading passed along with the transmittal of this MCNP amendment package. The proposed amendment is being processed and reviewed under the Alternative State, Review Process Pilot Program. Comments must be submitted to the City no later than October 10, 2009. 3440 Hollywood Boulevard, Suite 140, Hollywood, Florida 33021 Broward (954) 985.4416, State (800) 985-4416 FAX (954) 985-4417, e-mail: sfadmin@sfrpc.com, website: www.sfrpo.00m Proposed amendment package #09-1AR contains text amendments to the Future Land Use Element (FLUE) to create three new land use categories of Low Density Multifamily Residential, Low Density Restricted Commercial, and Medium Density Restricted Commercial. These proposed additions would allow for transitional areas between land uses of potentially conflicting intensities and provide the opportunity for redevelopment within underutilized areas. Modified land use categories are proposed in order to replace Floor Area Ratio (FAR) calculations with Floor Lot Ratio (FLR) calculations of intensity, revise height limitations, and provide considerations for affordable housing. The text amendments would also modify the interpretations of the Restricted Commercial, Central Business District, General Commercial, Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities Industrial, and light Industrial land uses and eliminate the Office category. In addition, the City proposes to amend the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) in an effort to direct infill and redevelopment toward the urban core along identified activity centers and commercial corridors that have existing infrastructure and access to transit. Over 2,000 acres of land are proposed to be amended throughout the City in order to implement the Miami2l Plan for mixed-use, walkable, neighborhoods that reduce the need for excessive vehicle trips. The majority of proposed amendments seek to reach that goal by allowing a greater mix of uses within the context of the Code. The City of Miami Commission approved (4-0) the transmittal of the proposed text and map amendments on September 4, 2009. Future Land Use Element (FLUE) Text Amendments Three new land use categories are proposed in order to protect residential neighborhoods and provide opportunities for transitional development through scaled height and intensity standards. Each land use will be subject to the detailed provisions of the Miami2l Code. In some instances, the land use is proposed at a higher intensity than the Miami2l proposed zoning in order to accommodate targeted future development. The following proposed land use categories are comprised of map changes from other existing or replaced categories. Low Density Multifamily Residential Land Use (LDMR) (36 Units/Acre) Limited in use to residential structures, small community-based residential facilities, commercial activities that are intended to serve the retailing and personal services needs of the building or building complex, small scale limited commercial uses as accessory uses, places of worship, and educational facilities. 19.32 AC: From Duplex (18 DU/AC) to LDMR (36 DU/AC) 1.4905 AC: From Major Institutional Public Facilities (150 DU/AC) to LDMR (36 DU/AC) 3.3234 AC: From Single Family Residential (9 DU/AC) to LDMR (36 DU/AC) Low Density Restricted Commercial (LDRC) (36 Units/Acre) Uses expanded from LDMR to include facilities such as hotels and motels, general office use, clinics, laboratories, auditoriums, libraries, and convention facilities. Commercial activities are allowed that generally serve the daily retailing and service needs of the public, typically requiting easy access by personal auto and often located along arterial or collector roadways. This category also includes commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels. Nonresidential use's in this category are limited in height to four stories. 18.8246 AC: From Single Family Residential (9 DU/ AC) to LDRC (36 DU/ AC) 68.7047 AC: From Duplex Residential (18 DU/AC) to LDRC (36 DU/AC) 6.36335 AC: From Office (150 DU/AC) to LDRC (6 DU/AC) 3.7652 AC: From Major Institutional Public Facilities (50DU/AC) to LDRC (36 DU/AC) Ka Medium Density Restricted Commercial (MDRC) (65 Units/Acre) Uses expanded from LDMR to include facilities such as hotels and motels, general office use, clinics, laboratories, auditoriums, libraries, and convention facilities. Commercial activities are allowed that generally serve the daily retailing and service needs of the public, typically requiring easy access by personal auto and often located along arterial or collector roadways. This category also includes commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels. Nonresidential uses in this category are limited in height to seven stories. 2.7994 AC from Single Family Residential (9DU/AC) to MDRC (65 DU/ AC) 0.5603 AC from Duplex Residential (18 DU/AC) to MDRC (65 DU/AC) 25.1547 AC from Industrial (0 DU/AC) to MDRC (65 DU/AC) 617.1225 AC from Medium Density Multifamily Residential (65 DU/ AC) to MDRC (65 DU/ AC) 25.6859 AC from Office (150 DU/ AC) to MDRC (65 DU/ AC) Comment In the concurrency management review and analysis provided by -the City, an error was made in the Medium Density Restricted Commercial and the Medium Density Multifamily Residential categories by incorrectly referencing an allowable density of 64 dwelling units per acre, instead of the correct density of 65 dwelling units per acre. Staff reviewed the proposed amendments based on the correct density and provided an overall summary in Attachment 4. Within each of the existing and proposed future land use categories, the City is proposing to replace the existing Floor Area Ratio (FAR) allowances with Floor Lot Ratio (FLR) allowances. The intent of this change is to provide a more accurate and predictable intensity of use throughout the City by limiting additions to the "Gross Lot Area" that currently have the potential .to add increased intensity. The FLR differs from the FAR both in calculation and intent, by including all non-residential uses. within a building such as parking, hallways, and stairs. In addition to the new land use categories, several modifications have been proposed to the Interpretation Section of the FLUE for the following land use categories: Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities has a proposed revision to allow nonresidential uses to a maximum FLR of six times the net lot area of the subject property, with nonresidential uses in the Health/Civic Center District having a maximum FLR of eight times the net lot area, and nonresidential areas in the Urban Central Business District allowed a maximum FLR of 37 times the net lot area of the subject property. Restricted Commercial has a proposed revision to allow hotels, general office, clinics/laboratories, auditoriums, libraries, convention facilities, places of worship and educational facilities. Additionally, the land use intensity calculations have been revised to provide a FLR of seven times the net lot area of the subject property, with increases allowable density upon compliance with LDR, but not to exceed a FLR of 11. A revision is also proposed to allow Restricted Commercial properties within the Edgewater Area to reach a FLR of 17. Central Business District has proposed revisions to remove references to the Office land use category, which is proposed to be eliminated, as well as, replacing the current FAR allowances with a proposed maximum FLR of 40 times the net lot area of the subject property. General Commercial has proposed revisions to remove references to the Office land use category, which is proposed to be eliminated, as well as, replacing the current FAR allowances with a proposed FLR of seven, with increases allowable upon compliance, with LDR, but not to exceed a FLR of 11. Areas designated as General Commercial within the Central Business District and Buena Vista Yards Regional Activity Center have a proposed FLR of 37 times the net lot area. of the subject property. Industrial has proposed revisions to remove references to the existing FAR and provide a height restriction of nine stories. Light Industrial has proposed revisions to remove references to the Office land use category, which is proposed to be eliminated, as well as, replacing the mandate for mixed uses with an allowance for mixed use development. Additional revisions are proposed to allow activities included in the General Commercial designation and remove references to the Live/Work and Work/Live districts. The dwelling units allowed within this category are proposed to be decreased from 65 to 36 DU/AC, but the height limitation is proposed to be increased from six to 11 stories. References to the existing PAR have been removed and a provision is proposed to allow existing affordable housing developments certified by the City as having a complete application for development to be permitted with densities up to 150 DU/AC, with the stipulation that building permits must be obtained by December 17, 2012. Comment Each Future Land Use category has proposed revisions to replace the existing intensity calculations from a FAR to PLR. Council staff has coordinated with the City to confirm that no increases in intensity are proposed through the conversion. However, . Council staff requests that, prior to adoption, the City provide a documented justification statement for the conversion from FAR to PLR and an intensity analysis for the proposed conversions. Future Land Use Map (FLUM) Amendments To implement the Miami2l planning initiative, the City is proposing series of amendments to the 2020 PLUM. These amendments are proposed throughout the City and comprise approximately 2,163 acres of land. The outcome of these amendments results in an overall city-wide decrease in residential density, however, specific areas are targeted for increases based on infrastructure, access to transit, and location within the urban core, or along commercial corridors. A map of the proposed PLUM changes is provided in Attachment 3 and a summary of the proposed land use changes is provided in Attachment 4. Public involvement and analysis throughout the extensive planning process have resulted in substantial proposed changes to the existing FLUM. These changes are proposed to further the goals of the Miami2l effort to create more livable communities with access to local commercial and retail within walking distance of residential areas. Additional proposed changes provide more recreation and open space, allow for expansion of community facilities, or provide protection to single-family neighborhoods. The majority (over 1,100 acres) of the proposed changes utilize the new proposed land use categories of Low Density Multifamily Residential, Low Density Restricted Commercial, and Medium Density Restricted Commercial, or are a result of the absorption of the Office category into other land use categories. The City has prepared a comprehensive analysis of the total impacts for the proposed map and text amendments and concluded that there would be a city-wide net loss in overall density of four percent. As such, the Level of Service (LOS) Standards, as well as, Data and Analysis for the concurrency management requirements indicate -sufficient infrastructure within the planning horizon for the proposed amendments. The City's analysis included Person -Trip Generation/Traffic Circulation, Recreation and Open Space, Potable Water Transmission, Sanitary Sewer Transmission, Storm Sewer Capacity, and Solid Waste Collection. Staff analysis confirms the proposed text and map amendments to the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan and Future Land Use Map are compatible with the Goals and Policies of the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida (SRPP). Recommendation Find the City of Miami proposed amendment package #09-1AR generally consistent with the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida. Approve this staff report for transmittal to the City of Miami, with copies sent to the Florida Department of Community Affairs. 4 M-00'r-tv Carlos Alvarez, Mayor October 7, 2009 Ana Gelabert-Sanchez, Director City of Miami Planning Department 444 S.W. 2rd Avenue, 3r`' Floor Nlil.arnl, Florida 33130 Planning and Zoning 1 1 1 NV',' 1 Ft Strt�et - Su•.L' 12, 0 Re: Proposed Amendment to the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) DCA No. 09-1AR Dear Ms. Gelabert; r11 ra In t da rt (t-,qoff' The Depagment of Psi nning and Z041)g (DP&Z) has reviewed the aU) ve-referenced Cily of Mia►r►i comprehensive plan amendment, which was received on September 10, 200!x. The review was performed under the Chapter 163.32465, F,S., Expedited Alternative Revievl Program, as requested. Our review identifies points of consistency or inconsistency with provisions of the Miami -Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP). p n used 4atid tsS2 ci nswles asld 16101)& izz sun-ounding 10oirotaii stations and orb ri Centers located within, or adjacent to, the City of Miami are .consistentwith the use densities and intensities in the Miarni-Dade County CDMP. Also, the land use densities and intensities proposed for those areas that are adjacent to the unincorporated areas of Miami -Dade County appear to be:�conristent and compatible with the land use designations in the CDMP. In addition, DP&Z offers the following comments on the proposed amendment. Data and Analvsi 1 Infrastructure Im acts Comprehensive pian amendments are required by Section 9J-5:005(2) (a) F,A.C, to be supported by "relevant and appropriate data and the analysis applicable to each elernent. The amendment application proposes approximately 2,176 land use changes on the Future Land Use Map, with an overall reduction of 24,601 residential units. The amendment also proposes to replace the extstinq catcutatton of Floor Area RatSOS (FAR), 5,vhich tis basad 4311 gloss acro acj% with Floor Lot Ratios (FLR)'based on net acreage. However, the amendment does not provide any data or analysis, or an overall description of the Impact of the proposed residential unit reduction and corresponding potential increase in development intensity in the eastern portion of the city, on the City's 2020 projected population, In other words, is the projected supply of units and density anough to accommodate the city's projected population? Similarly, no data or analysis is provided to demonstrate what the impacts are on future planned transportation or public facilities, particularly water and sewer farilities and public schools, which weld occur as a result of the text amendment and the individual land use map amendments. The city should provide the appropriate data and analysis to indicate if, or how, the proposed land use changes would impact transportation, sewage, water and other public facilities and infrastructure provided to the city by Miami -Dade County. In particular, the city should demonstrate that there are adequate water supplies for the 10 year period: and whether there is adequate sevver treatment capacity provided by Miami -bade County Water and Sewer Department. Ana Gelabert-Sanchez, Director City of Miami October 7, 2009 Page 2 of 2 Pori of Miami River Approximately twenty land use map amendments are proposed along the Port of Miami Riv ;r, The majority of the proposed land use map amendments are new land use categories providing for mired -uses, which are not permitted in the current land use designations. Some proposed land use changes are being amended from Medium Density Multi Family Residential to h4ediurn Density Restricted Commercial. Also, the Office land use category is proposed to be de-deted; therefore, those properties along the Miami River corridor that are currently designated Office ,are proposed to be re -designated to Restricted Commercial. The new Restricted Comniercial land use category adds a variety of new non-residential uses, including hotels, offices, clinics, general retail, services restaurants, entertainment and similar uses, which are incornpotil;le voth working river waterfronts. 'Two sites, currently designated General Commercial, are re- designated to Light tnd.ustrial which is iacompaUbte wvitti adjacent county destgrnated ta«ci cat Industrial, Also, proposed land use changes from Industrial to Light Industrial is not compatible with preserving the Miami River as a working waterfront as it permits the intrusion of Incompatible uses. The proposed Light Industrial category permits mixed uses, the commercial activities allowed for in the Restricted Commercial and General Commercial designations and is less supportive or working waterfront uses. Residential and mixed-use development along the river should be allowed only after demonstrating that the use is compatible with adjacent existing or potential marine uses and that such non -maritime uses will not negatively impact future andlor existing maritime industries along the river, Additional language should bo, considered that protects the existing marin+ industries while allowing for other compatibly; uses, Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed amendments to the Mi,)mi Comprehensive Neighborhood plan. County staff is available to work with the City to address the concerns stated above and to refine the proposed amendment before the City considers adoption of the amendment.

The amendment proposes changes to the text and map designations on the "2020 Future Land Use Map" of the Miami Comprehensive , Neighborhood Plan to facilitate the implementation of the Miami 21 project. There appear to be no significant water resource related impacts. However, we have the following. general recommendation for your consideration: • Amend the comprehensive plan to include a Water Supply Facilities Work Plan (Work Plan) as described in your letter dated September 8, 2009. Along with the Work Plan, include policies on coordination with the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department on population and demand projections.

As you will note, there are no anticipated impacts in the North, West and South Quadrants, as the City is projecting an actual decrease in residential density. In the East Quadrant, the City is projecting a net increase of 10,709 residential units. Based on this information, the additional units would generate approximately 2,678 students; 1,286 at the • elementary; 589 at the Middle School; and 803 at the. High School level. At this. time, there is sufficient capacity in the schools serving the East Quadrant to accommodate the density increases upon the implementation of Miami 21. Please note that this is not to be construed as a public school concurrency review, and is solely meant to provide an overall picture of potential Impacts on area schools, and the availability of student stations at this point in time. Individual determinations of public school concurrency and capacity reservations will be made at the time. of approval of plat, site plan or functional equivalent.

We reviewed the proposed amendment to the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan related to the' Miami21 Plan. The amendment incorporates new Land Use categories, deletes categories, adjusts intensity and density of existing categories and makes other modifications in existing' categories, The 2020 Future Land Use Map will be amended to designate properties under the new categories. Our cursory review suggests that the proposed changes may have no adverse effects on historic resources, as long as historic sites and properties were considered during land use adjustments and modifications, It is the city's responsibility to ensure that the proposed revisions will not have an adverse effect on significant archaeological, or historic resources in Miami.
