Approximately 500 NW S. River Dr
CASE NO: 09-00817zc
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 has been reviewed
for an amendment to the Zoning Atlas as follows:
The request is to change the Zoning designation as follows:
The subject property consists of one triangle shape parcel comprising approximately
0.03 acres. The parcel is located within the block bounded by NW South River Drive to
the northeast, NW 9th Avenue to the west, and NW 5'h Street to the south, approximately
500 NW S. River Dr., from R-3 "Multifamily Medium -Density Residential" to C-1 "Re-
stricted Commercial".
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that the C-1 - Restricted Commercial zoning designation requested will be
consistent with the vicinity's zoning designation for properties located to the North,
and East, of the subject property.
• It is found that the property currently has a commercial structure located on it that
has been there since 1951.
• It is found that this action will allow a grand fathered commercial use to continue.
• It is found that the requested change will not represent an intrusion of commercial
uses into a residential neighborhood.
• It is found that the property configuration, as well as the small size of the property
(1409 sq ft), does not lend itself to residential development.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of
the application as presented.
