REQUEST
The proposal is for a change to the Future Land Use Map of the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan from "Duplex Residential" to "Restricted Commercial". (A complete legal
description is on file at the Hearing Boards Office).
FUTURE LAND USE
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) Policy LU -1.6.1 established future land use
categories according to the 2020 Future Land Use Map and the "Interpretation of the Future
Land Use Map."
The "Duplex Residential" land use category allows residential structures of up to two dwelling
units each to a maximum density of 18 dwelling units per acre, subject to the detailed provisions
of the applicable land development regulations and the maintenance of required levels of ser-
vice for facilities and services included in the City's adopted concurrency management require-
ments.
Community based residential facilities (14 clients or less, not including drug, alcohol or correc-
tional rehabilitation facilities) also will be allowed pursuant to applicable state law. Places of
worship, primary and secondary schools, child day care centers and adult day care centers are
permissible in suitable locations within duplex residential areas.
Professional offices, tourist and guest homes, museums, and private clubs or lodges are al-
lowed only in contributing structures within historic sites or historic districts that have been des-
ignated by the Historical and Environmental Preservation Board and are in suitable locations
within duplex residential areas, pursuant to applicable land development regulations and the
maintenance of required levels of service for such uses. Density and intensity limitations for
said uses shall be restricted to those of the contributing structure(s).
The "Restricted Commercial" land use category allow residential uses (except rescue mis-
sions) to a maximum density equivalent to "High Density Multifamily Residential" subject to the
same limiting conditions and a finding by the Planning Director that the proposed site's proximi-
ty to other residentially zoned property makes it a logical extension or continuation of existing
residential development and that adequate services and amenities exist in the adjacent area to
accommodate the needs of potential residents; any activity included in the "Office" designation
as well as commercial activities 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 col-
lector roadways, which include: general retailing, personal and professional services, real es-
tate, banking and other financial services, restaurants, saloons and cafes, general entertain-
ment facilities, private clubs and recreation facilities, major sports and exhibition or entertain-
ment facilities and other commercial activities whose scale and land use impacts are similar in
nature to those uses described above, places of worship, and primary and secondary schools.
This category also includes commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels as permissible.
The nonresidential portions of developments within areas designated as "Restricted Commer-
cial" allow a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.72 times the gross lot area of the subject
property; such FAR may be increased upon compliance with the detailed provisions of the ap-
plicable land development regulations; however, may not exceed a total FAR of 3.0 times the
gross lot area of the subject property. Properties designated as "Restricted Commercial" in the
Urban Central Business District and Buena Vista Yards Regional Activity Center allow a maxi-
mum floor area ratio (FAR) of 10 times the gross lot area of the subject property.
All such uses and mixes of uses shall be subject to the detailed provisions of the applicable
land development regulations and the maintenance of required levels of service for facilities and
services included in the City's adopted concurrency management requirements.
DISCUSSION
The subject area consists of seven parcels comprising approximately 0.75 acres. It is located
on the north side of the block fronting SW 7th Street. The block is bounded by SW 7th Street to
the north, SW 35th Avenue to the east, SW 8th Street to the south and SW 36th Avenue to the
west. The City of Miami municipal boundary is to the west of SW 37th Avenue. The site is
currently designated "Duplex Residential". A "Restricted Commercial" Future Land Use
designation is to the west and south, while a "Duplex Residential" Future Land Use is to the
north and east of the subject property. The subject site is in the WEST FLAGLER NET area.
ANALYSIS
The Planning Department is recommending DENIAL of the application as presented
based on the following findings:
• The property is surrounded on the north and east by an established low density residential
community. In addition, the character of SW 7th Street in this area is low density residential,
specifically "Duplex Residential".
• A land use change at this location may set a negative precedent and create a "domino
effect" in regards to future land use change applications.
• The MCNP Interpretation of the 2020 Future Land Use Map indicates that the "Duplex
Residential" land use category allows residential structures up to two dwelling units each to
a maximum density of 18 dwelling units per acre. The requested "Restricted Commercial"
designation allows density equivalent to "High Density Multifamily Residential" or to 150
dwelling units per acre. This potential increase in residential density will be out of scale with
the established neighborhood.
• MCNP Land Use Goal LU -1(1) encourages a land use pattern that protects and enhances
the quality of life in the city's residential neighborhoods and (5) promotes the efficient use
of land and minimizes land use conflicts. A change to Restricted Commercial is not a
logical extension of that category; "Restricted Commercial" Land Uses that would represent
a potential intrusion of commercial uses into a low density neighborhood.
• Land Use Policy LU -1.1.3 (1) provides for the protection of all areas of the city from the
encroachment of incompatible land uses; and (2) the adverse impacts of future land uses in
adjacent areas that disrupt or degrade public health and safety.
• MCNP Housing Policy HO -1.1.7, states the City will continue to control, through restrictions
in the City's development regulations, large scale and/or intense commercial and industrial
land development which may negatively impact any residential neighborhood.
• MCNP Housing Policy HO -1.1.8 states that through land development regulations, the City
will protect and enhance existing viable neighborhoods in those areas suitable for housing.
2
• The MCNP Land Use Policy 1.1.1 provides that new development or redevelopment that
results in an increase in density or intensity of land use shall be contingent upon availability
of public facilities and services that meet or exceed the minimum LOS standards adopted in
the Capital Improvement Element.
• The analysis is NOT based on a proposed project. The highest potential use is being
considered.
• The proposed Miami 21 FLUM designation for the site is "Duplex Residential'. The Miami 21
zoning designation is T3-0. The surrounding Miami 21 zoning designation is T6-8-0 to the
west and south, while T3-0 designation is to the north and east of the subject property.
These findings support the position that the Future Land Use Map at this location and for this
neighborhood should NOT be changed.
