On September 8, 2003, the Miami River Commission (MRC) heard a presentation from Ms. Lucia Dougherty, Greenberg Traurig, and Mr. Larry Cohan, Brito, Cohan and Associates, regarding the pending Major Use Special Permit (MUSP) application for the "Royal Atlantic" development, located at 1001 NW 7 ST. The presented MUSP application included the pending land use and zoning amendments. The MRC found the proposed project to be consistent with the award winning Miami River Corridor Urban Infill Plan, in that it has mixed -uses, featuring retail spaces on the ground floor with residential units above, and has a facaded parking garage. The MRC noted the original proposal had been reduced in density from three buildings, the tallest being 36 stories, to two-27 story buildings, and that the planned parking garage on the eastern side of the "Royal Atlantic" project would serve as a buffer between the proposed residential units and the immediately adjacent marine industrial businesses to the east of the site. In addition, the MRC found the proposed "Royal Atlantic" development to be consistent with the Miami River Greenway Action Plan, in providing a 20-foot wide publicly accessible riverwalk, and an "on -road greenway" along NW 7 ST. Therefore, the MRC unanimously recommended approval of the "Royal Atlantic" MUSP application, and the related land use and zoning amendments.
