Materials to demonstrate the relationship of the elements listed in 4 preceding to surrounding area characteristics. The Drawings Submitted with this Application are located under Tab 6 of the Supporting Documents. (6) Existing zoning and adopted comprehensive plan designations for the area on and around the lands proposed for major use Special Permit. The existing zoning designation for the property pursuant to the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, is C-1 on the lots fronting Coral Way and R-2 on the lots fronting S.W. 22 Terraces. Concurrent with this Major Use Special Permit application, the applicant is also requesting an amendment to the Zoning Atlas Map to rezone the lots fronting SW 22 Terrace from R-2 to C-I. • • • Page 42 of the of the Official Zoning Atlas Map (the "Map") is located in Article 1, and indicates the existing and surrounding zoning. The Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (the "Plan") future land use designation for the property is Restricted Commercial on the lots fronting Coral Way and Duplex on the lot fronting S.W. 22 Terrace2 and is shown on the land use map located in Article I. The future land use element of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan designates the property Restricted Commercial (See 1702.2.1.6 and footnotes 1 and 2). The Restricted Commercial designation permits high -density multifamily residential uses with retail uses on lower floors. The designation also permits commercial, recreation, and entertainment facilities. Therefore, if the redesignation and rezoning of the lots fronting SW 22 Terrace are approved, the proposed development will be consistent with the Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. The Traffic Impact Analysis and Site Utility Study (Tabs 3 and 4 of Article III, respectively) indicate adequate infrastructure capacity to meet the impact of this development. 3. Section 1702.2.2 Major Use Special Permit Concept Plan. (a) Relationships of the concept plan to surrounding existing and proposed future uses, activities, systems, and facilities (transportation, recreation, view corridors, pedestrian systems, service systems and similar uses. Article 11 contains a written narrative of this project outlining proposed uses, activities and architectural character. This narrative also contains descriptions of the project's relationship to traffic, pedestrian movements, and transportation access. Buildings elevations, sections and perspectives showing the proposed materials, vertical profile and height, and orientation to streets are included in the drawings submitted with this Application. The list of drawings submitted is found under Tab 6 of the Supporting Documents. The Project is also very sensitive to the duplex residential uses to the south. Fronting the existing duplex residential units will be a row of townhomes. These townhomes screen the parking structure from view by the residents. The residential tower has been pulled towards Coral Way away from the duplex residential. The north/south orientation minimizes the impact of the building and allows for the greatest view corridors towards Coral Way and the rest of the City. 2 Concurrent with this Major Use Special Permit, the applicant is requesting an amendment to the Plan to redesignate the Jots fronting SW 22 Terrace from Duplex to Restricted Commercial. • • (b) Existing zoning and adopted comprehensive plan principles and designations.
