Amendment to Articles 4 and 9 of Zoning Ordinance No.
11000.
LEGAL DESCRIPTION N/A
PETITION
Consideration of an ordinance amending Ordinance No.
11000, as amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of
Miami, Florida, by amending Articles 4 and 9, in order to
modify provisions related to parking regulations, and
more specifically to introduce a new subsection 917.10 to
allow for exemptions for provision of parking for adaptive
re -use of existing structures with parking deficiencies
located within the Fire Station No. 2 Motion Picture and
Media District.
PLANNING
RECOMMENDATION Approval.
BACKGROUND
AND ANALYSIS
The proposed amendment would allow for catalyst revitalization efforts of existing structures
within the Fire Station No. 2 Motion Picture and Media District without the need for providing
additional private parking. This district is located just west of the Performing Arts Center and is a
pivotal key to the transformation of the area as a media district. The Planning and Zoning
Department recommends approval of this amendment for a two year period in order to allow the
CRA to continue it's efforts along with the Department of Offstreet Parking in providing additional
public parking in the area to support these adaptive rehab uses. Without this amendment,
demolition of existing buildings with unique and distinctive character would have to be done to
make space to build more parking. Such demolition would go against the intent of this particular
type of entertainment district.
