APPLICANT Pedro G. Hernandez, City Manager, on behalf of the City
of Miami.
REQUEST/LOCATION Amendment to Chapter 23 of the Miami City Code
[Citywide]
PETITION An Ordinance of the Miami City Commission amending
Chapter 23 of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida, as
amended, entitled "Historic Preservation" to reflect the
provisions and language of the Miami 21 Code; to create a
process for the Transfer of Development Rights for historic
resources through the Public Benefits Program; to create
additional definitions; and to establish provisions for the
granting of exceptions, when the result leads to the
preservation of a significant historic structure; containing a
severability clause; and providing for an effective date.
PLANNING
RECOMMENDATION Approval.
BACKGROUND AND
ANALYSIS This will align the language of Chapter 23 with that of
Miami 21 Code, and will further define the Transfer of
Development Rights process by identifying receiving sites
in transects designated T-6. The conditional use
provisions previously included in Chapter 23 will now
become exceptions for certain uses that encourage the
adaptive use of buildings.
CITY COMMISSION No action taken on August 6, 2009.
