REQUEST
The proposal is for a change to the Future Land Use Map of the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan from “Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities”to
“RestrictedCommercial”.(A complete legal description ison fileat 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 “Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities”land use category
allows facilities for federal, state and local government activities, major public or private health,
recreational, cultural, religious or educational activities, and major transportation facilities and
public utilities. Residential facilities ancillary to these uses are allowed up to a maximum density
equivalent to “High Density Multifamily Residential” or if applicable the least intense abut-
ting/adjacent residential zoning district, subject to the samelimiting conditions.
Areas designated as “Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities allow non-
residential uses to a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 6.0 times the net lot area of the subject
property. Properties designated “Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utili-
ties” in the Health / Civic Center District allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 8.0 times the
Public Facilities,
net lot area of the subject property. Properties designated “Major Institutional,
Transportation and Utilities” in the Urban Central Business District allow a maximum FLR of
37.0 times the net lot area of the subject property.
The “RestrictedCommercial”land use categoryallowsresidential 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; transitory residential facilities such as hotels
and motels. This category also allows general office use; clinics and laboratories, auditoriums,
libraries, convention facilities, places of worship, and primary and secondary schools. Also al-
lowed are 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-
include: general retailing, personal and professional services, real es-
lector roadways, which
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. This category also includes commercial marinas and liv-
ing quarters on vessels as permissible.
The nonresidential portions of developments within areas designated as “Restricted Commer-
cial” allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 7.0 times the net lot area of the subject property;
such FLR may be increased upon compliance with the detailed provisions of the applicable land
development regulations; however, may not exceed a total FLR of 11.0 times the net lot area of
the subject property. Properties designated as “Restricted Commercial” in the Edgewater Area
1
allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 17.0 times the net 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 maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 37.0 times
the net 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 areaconsists of oneparcelcomprising approximately 7.0acres. It is located on the
rdth
north side of the block fronting the west side of NW3
Avenue, the south side of NW 17
th
Street, and the east side of NW 4Avenue. Interstate 395 forms the southern boundary of the
block.On the south side of Interstate 395 arethe Urban Central Business District and the
Southeast Overtown/Park West Residential Density Increase Area. The site is currently
designated “Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities”. A“Restricted
Commercial” Future Land Use designation is to the eastand south,a“Medium Density
Restricted Commercial” designation is to the north andwest, “Major Institutional, Public
Facilities, Transportation and Utilities” is to the west, and “Public Parks and Recreation” is to the
northwest of the subject property. The subject site isin the Overtown NETarea.
ANALYSIS
The PlanningDepartment is recommending APPROVALof the amendmentas presented
based on the following findings:
MCNP Housing Policy HO-1.1.7states the City will continue to control, through restrictions
in the City's land development regulations, large scale and/or intensive commercial and
industrial land development which may negatively impact any residential neighborhood and
will provide appropriate transitions between high-rise and low-rise residential developments.
Since the subject property issurrounded on the north and west by an established medium
density residential community, the density and intensity allowed by the Restricted
Commercial category will provide for an appropriatetransition between the medium density
neighborhoods to the west and north to Interstate 395 and the high intensity Urban Central
Business District to the south.
rd
The property is opposite a Restricted Commercial corridor on NW 3
Avenue. This change
would allow for buildings of a similar character and for the redevelopment of the corridor.
The MCNP Interpretation of the 2020Future Land UseMapindicates that the “Major
Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities” land use category allows
residential structures up to a maximum of 150dwelling units per acre. The requested
“Restricted Commercial” designation allows density equivalent to “High Density Multifamily
Residential” or to 150 dwelling units per acre. So there is no net change in potential
residential density as a result of this change.
MCNPPolicy LU-1.3.15, states the City will continue to encourage a development pattern
that enhances existing neighborhoods by developing a balanced mix of uses including
areas for employment, shopping, housing, and recreation in close proximity to each other.
This change will allow for the addition of commercial uses in an area that lacks places of
employment.
2
MCNP Policy LU-1.3.5 states that the City will continue to promote through its land
development regulations, the creation of high intensity activity centers which may be
characterized by mixed-use and specialty center development. Such activity centers will be
in accordance with the Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan and neighborhood design and
development standards adopted as a result of amendments to the City’s land development
regulations and other initiatives.The Restricted Commercial designation allows for mixed-
use and specialty center developments that are encouraged throughout the Comprehensive
Plan.
MCNP Policy LU-1.6.10 states that the City’s land development regulations and policies will
allow for the provision of safe and convenient on-site traffic flow and vehicle parking and will
provide access by a variety of transportation modes, including pedestrianism, bicycles,
automobiles, and transit. This site is served by five Miami-Dade County Metrobus Routes
and the Restricted Commercial designation allows for development to occur in a manner
that will maximize the use of those routes.
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 Improvements Element.
A School Concurrency Analysis is not necessary because the potential residential density
remains the samewith this amendment.
These findingssupport the position that the Future Land Use Map at this location and forthis
neighborhood SHOULDbe changed.
