3689 Loquoat Avenue
CASE NO: 2003-0705
Pursuant to Section 401 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of
Miami, Florida, the subject proposal has been reviewed to permit a new residence with the
following setbacks:
Side street yard setback required: 15.0 feet
proposed: 10.0 feet
Request to waive: 5.0 feet
In determining the appropriateness of the Variance for the proposed residential project the
following findings have been made:
• It is found that the lot is legally platted with 8,340 sq. ft.; however, the subject property is
located on a corner lot with an additional twenty (20) feet right of way dedication at the
street side of the lot, which reduces considerably the building area and constitute a hardship
that limits reasonable use of the property and therefore justifies the requested setback
variance.
• It is found that the proposed project offers the most reasonable solution to the design
problem facing this particular site.
• It is found that the grant of this variance is harmony with the general intent and purpose of
the Zoning Ordinance and is not injurious to the neighborhood.
Based on these findings, the Planning and Zoning Department is recommending
approval of the requested variance as presented.
