Ordinance as follows:11
"INTERPRETATION OF FUTURE LAND USE MAP
Light Industrial (LI): The primary intent of this land
use classification is to mandate mixed use development
within this land use classification, and further, to
facilitate the ability of developing a mixed occupancy
within a unit in which more than one type of use is
provided under Live/Work or Work/Live Districts. The
Light Industrial category shall be designated on the
Future Land Use Plan map as either LI-LW (live/work) or
LI-WL (work -live) .
Areas designated as "Light Industrial" allow all
activities included in the "Office" and the "Restricted
Commercial" designations, as well as wholesaling and
distribution activities that generally serve the needs
of other businesses; generally require on and off
loading facilities; and benefit from close proximity to
general commercial areas. These commercial activities
(beyond those permitted in the "Office" and the
"Restricted Commercial" designations) include retailing
of second hand items, new and used vehicle sales,
parking lots and garages, wholesaling, warehousing,
light manufacturing and assembly and other activities
whose scale of operation and land use impacts are
similar to those uses described above.
This category also allows commercial marinas and living
quarters on vessels for transients. This land use
category shall not permit storing, packaging, handling,
processing or distribution of explosive, flammable or
otherwise hazardous materials; scrap yards; wholesale
trade -marts; drive -through facilities; flea markets;
Words and/or figures stricken through shall be deleted.
Underscored words and/or figures shall be added. The remaining
provisions are now in effect and remain unchanged. Asterisks
indicate omitted and unchanged material.

health clinics; and auto care service centers and
related activities.
The hazard level of an activity shall be one of the
determining factors as to whether that activity shall
be permissible within a Light Industrial district; the
detailed provisions of the applicable land development
regulations shall prohibit high-level hazard activities
within live/work developments.
Live/Work District: Within a live/work
development, residential uses shall occupy between
fifty percent (50%) and ninety-eight percent (98%)
of the area of the development and commercial uses
shall be developed as a secondary use; employees
and walk-in trade are not usually permitted;
however, may be allowed upon compliance with
specified criteria as defined in the governing
land development regulations; such criteria may
include requirements that clients visit by
appointment, and/or limitations on number of
employees.
Work/Live District: Within a work/live
development, commercial uses shall occupy between
fifty percent (50%) and ninety-eight percent (98%)
of the area of thedevelopment and residential
uses shall be developed as a secondary use.
Work/live space requires access according to the
American Disabilities Act.
Areas designated as "Light Industrial" allow
residential uses to a maximum density of 65 dwelling
units per acre, and both residential and nonresidential
uses to a maximum height of six stories (with "story"
defined as height between 8 and 14 feet per story) and
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 applicable land development regulations,
however, may not exceed a total FAR of 4.0 times the
gross lot area of the subject property.
Page 4 of 6
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. The
Light Industrial category is not intended to be subject
to the restrictions and limitations of home occupations
as defined in Zoning Ordinance No. 11000 (as amended).

Expressway and including all of the City of Miami. Within this area, the concentration
and intensification of development around centers of activity shall be emphasized with
the goals of enhancing the livability of residential neighborhoods and the viability of

Element of the MCNP. (See Land Use Policy LU-1.1.11.)
Policy TR-1.1.2: The City of Miami
originated and continues to utilize a person -trip methodology for measurement of level of
service (LOS) on a transportation facility, which may be a roadway, mass transit service,
pedestrian way, bikeway, or any other transportation mode alone or in combination with
others. This technique calculates the total person -trip capacity of all transportation modes_
utilizing a transportation facility against the total person -trip demand for travel on that
facility, expressing the resulting ratio in letter -grades LOS A through LOS F in the same
manner as used by the conventional vehicles -over -capacity (V/C) methodology. is used in_
tThe measurement of LOS is made for the peak period (the average of the two highest
consecutive hours of trip volume during a weekday), and level of service (LOS). In such
an overall minimum peak -period LOS standard E (100%
percent utilization of ee lerperson-trip capacity); will be maintained. Issuance of
development orders for new development or significant expansion of existing
development shall be contingent upon compliance with these LOS standards, subject to
the modifications described in subparagraphs 1.1.2.1 through 1.1.2.3 below and any
applicable provisions of the Urban Infill Concurrency Exception Area. Minimum LOS

Policy TR-1.5.7: The City shall, through its Intergovernmental Coordination Policies,
request that Miami -Dade -Metre -Dade County include appropriate public transit systems
in its Transportation Plan to connect the following: Bayside to Flagler Street, the seaport

regulations, the City shall encourage the development of housing near large employment
centers in order to reduce the need for commuting.
Policy TR-1.5.11: Through enforcement of applicable provisions of Section 14-71
"Transportation Control Measures" of the City Code, the City will seek to require new
large-scale development to adopt and enforce measures that will reduce the generation of
new single -occupant passenger car trips in areas of high -density development, and
encourage the use of multiple -occupant vehicles, including mass transit, for home -based
work trips.
Policy TR-1.5.12: The City, through its Intergovernmental Coordination Policies, will
support Miami -Dade -Metre -Dade County in its implementation of individual projects
