On September 8, 2008, the College submitted applications in order to amend the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (the "Plan") designation for the Property to Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities and rezone the Property to G/I Government/Institutional. After public hearings in fi-ont of the Planning Advisory Board, Zoning Board and City Commission as well as discussions with neighbors and City staff, the College would like to amend the applications as follows: 1. Comprehensive Plan Amendment The College wishes to withdraw the comprehensive plan amendment request as it relates to PARCEL A. The Plan designation for PARCEL A will remain Single Family Residential. However, the College wishes to keep the original request for PARCEL B which is to amend the Plan designation from Duplex Residential to Major Institutions, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities. 2. Zoning Change The College now wishes to rezone PARCEL A from R-1 to R-1 with an SD -12 Special Buffer Overlay District. The request for PARCEL B is to rezone from R-2 to G/I which is the same as in the ori 91 :"nal request. 3. Special ,Exception WEISs SEROTA HELF'MAN PASTOPIZA COLE & BONISKE, P.L. Ms. Teresita Fern�'ndez August 10, 2009 Page 3 In addition; to the amendments to the current applications as outlined herein, the College seeks a Special E ception as per Section 612 of the City of Miami Zoning Code (the "Code") in order to allow surface parking in the SD -12 District. Such parking area will serve as overflow parking for the existing College. Since a Special Exception is only required for lots having the SD -12 Special Buffer Overlay District, the Special Exception applies to PARCEL A. Vehicular access to PARCEL A will occur through PARCEL B to the South. In other words, there will be no vehicular access to PARCEL A from SW 5`h Street. As part of this amended request we are enclosing a revised public hearing application for an amendment to the zoning atlas and/or overlay district, a revised public hearing application for an amendment to the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, and a new a revised public hearing application for a Special Exception. Together these approvals will allow parking to occur on the Property, a use which is consistent with the proposed zoning and land use designations for bath PARCEL A and PARCEL B. This parking facility will accommodate the parking needs of the College as it continues to lead the country as the largest and most diverse college in the nation. Please schedule the rezoning and special exception applications before the Zoning Board as soon as possible. The comprehensive plan amendment affecting PARCEL B need not go to the Planning Advisory Board since the Planning Advisory Board already heard the comprehensive plan amendment request and recommended approval with conditions at their March 18, 2009 meeting. We look forward to your favorable review of this application. Please call me if you have any questions or if you require further information in order to process this request.
