Street from R-1 "Single Family Residential" to R-1 with SD -12 "Buffer Overlay
District" and the two lots fronting SW 25th Avenue from R-2 "Two -Family
Residential" to G/I "Government and Institutional". The Board recommended to
the City Commission that the board will not object to an "SD -12" Overlay for all
parcels included on the application, to achieve the parking needs of Miami -Dade
College, by a vote of 5-3.
• It is found that now before the Board is an application for a Special Exception to
allow the establishment and operation of a surface parking lot in conjunction with
a commercial use, i.e. the Miami Dade College, within the SD -12 overlay.
• It is found that the Special Exception approval is contingent upon the approval
the zoning change request by the City Commission.
• It is found that a landscape plan has been provided and the proposed plan
provides appropriate landscape buffer to separate the proposed SD -12 portion of
the parking lot from the residential zoned areas to the north accompanied by the
six (6) CMU stucco wall.
• It is found that the parking area provides appropriate circulation of vehicular
traffic.
• It is found that all subordinate Special Permits (Class I and Class II) to the

• It is found that with respect to all additional criteria as specified in Section 1305 of
the Zoning Ordinance 11000, the proposal has been reviewed and found to be in
compliance.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of
the application as presented with the following condition:

change request by the City Commission.
