ANALYSIS FOR ZONING CHANGE REQUEST
FEC Buena Vista Container Yard Property
PAB Application No. 2003-0056
DISCUSSION
Request:
An Ordinance amending Page No. 21 of The Zoning Atlas of Zoning Ordinance 11000,
As Amended, The Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, by amending the Zon-
ing Classification for the FEC Buena Vista Yard from "I" Industrial and "C-2" General
Commercial to SD-27.2 Buena Vista Yard West; said property more particularly known
as a portion of land consisting of approximately 30.57 acres in area, more particularly de-
scribed in Exhibit "A". (Complete Legal On File With The Hearing Boards Division;
See "Exhibit A") Miami, Florida
Analysis:
The Planning and Zoning Department is recommending APPROVAL of the
application as presented based on the following findings:
• It is found that the subject properties are surrounded by lighter commercial and
residential uses and that the Industrial designation is no longer appropriate for the
property.
• It is found that the character of the area is mixed use with commercial and abutting
residential land uses.
• It is found that the change to "SD-27.2 Buena Vista West Special District" zoning
will allow for greater flexibility for development and redevelopment of the subject
property.
• It is found that the proposed change is consistent with the City's urban infill
objectives by promoting the infill of such properties with appropriate residential
density and mixed use opportunities.
These findings support the position that the existing land use pattern in this neighborhood
should be changed.
