CASE NO. 2003-0704
Pursuant to Ordinance 11000, as amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami,
Florida, the subject proposal for Miami River Village has been reviewed to allow the
following Special Exceptions:
• Special Exception per Article 9, Section 922.6 to allow deferral of portions of total
required offstreet loading improvements.
The requested Special Exception is for the purpose of allowing the above referenced
components of the Miami River Village Project, a mixed use development consisting of a
total of 1,304 units and 1,992 parking spaces in three (3) phases for the property located
at the above mentioned addresses within the SD-6 area (see attached legal description,
location maps and aerial photographs for exact property boundaries).
Note: These Special Exceptions also encompasses the following subordinate permits:
1. Class II Special Permit as per Article 6, Section 606.3, for development of new
construction within a Special District.
2. Class II Special Permit as per Article 9, Section 908.9, for development of a
waterfront yard.
3. Class II Special Permit as per Article 15, Section 1512, for waiver of design standards
and guidelines for Urban Plaza; Sec III, subsection G, (prohibition of driveways).
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that the proposed mixed -use development project will benefit the
Downtown Area by creating new residential along the Miami River.
• It is found that the subject of this Special Exception, specifically for the deferral of
the required offstret loading, for the proposed project, is completely within the scope
and character of the project given that it is a high density mixed -use residential
project to be located on a significant parcel along the north bank of the Miami River
in Downtown Miami.
• It is found that with respect to all additional criteria as specified in Section 1305 of
Zoning Ordinance 11000, the proposal has been reviewed and found to be adequate.
Based on these findings, the Planning and Zoning Department is recommending
approval of the requested Mixed -Use Residential Development Project with the
following conditions:
1- This approval shall be subject to all additional conditions specified in the final
development order of the Major Use Special Permit for the project.
