1001 NW 7th STREET
CASE NO: 2003-0742
Pursuant to Article 4, Section 401 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, the Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, the subject proposal has been reviewed for an
amendment to the Zoning Atlas as follows:
The request is to change the Zoning designation as follows:
Tract "A" of SPORTMAN'S PARK SECTION "A", according to the plat thereof,
as recorded in Plat Book 50 at Page 81 of the Public Records of Miami Dade
County, Florida, from SD-4 "Waterfront Industrial" to C-1 "Restricted
Commercial".
The following findings have been made:
R________
• It is found that immediately adjacent to the west, the area is designated C-2 "Liberal
Commercial".
• It is found that the tract is on the south bank of the Miami River and was the home of
the old Miami News offices, therefore it had not supported any type of Marine
Industrial uses .
• It is found that this change of zoning is in order to develop a residential project known
as Royal Atlantic. It is also found that the Miami River Cornmission recommended
approval of this project at their meeting of September 8, 2003.
• It is found that this application is in order to bring development to the Miami River as
it approaches Downtown Miami.
• It is found that the requested change to "Restricted Commercial" will allow greater
flexibility in developing mixed uses for this portion of the river.
Based on these findings, the Planning and Zoning Department is recommending
approval of the application as presented.
