Approximately 400 and 420 SW 7th Street,
Application No. LU- 2003-0019
DISCUSSION
The proposal has been reviewed for a change to the Future Land Use Map of the Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1989-2000 from "Medium Density Multifamily
Residential" to "Restricted Commercial". The subject parcel consists of two half lots and
one lot facing SW 7th Street. (Complete legal description on file at the Hearing Boards
Office).
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) Land Use Policy 1.6.1., established
future land use categories according to the Future Land Use Plan Map and the
"interpretation of the Future Land Use Plan Map". The subject parcel is currently
designated "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" and the same designation is to the
west, southeast and north; to the south, there is a "Restricted Commercial land use
designation.
Medium Density Multifamily Residential: Areas designated as "Medium Density Mul-
tifamily Residential" allow residential structures to a maximum density of 65 dwelling
units per acre, subject to the detailed provisions of the applicable land development regu-
lations and the maintenance of required levels of service for facilities and services in-
cluded in the City's adopted concurrency management requirements.
Supporting services such as community -based residential facilities (14 clients or
less, not including drug, alcohol or correctional rehabilitation facilities) will be
allowed pursuant to applicable state law; community -based residential facilities
(15-50 clients) and day care centers for children and adults may be permissible in
suitable locations.
Permissible uses within medium density multifamily areas also include commercial ac-
tivities that are intended to serve the retailing and personal services needs of the building
or building complex, small scale limited commercial uses as accessory uses, subject to
the detailed provisions of applicable land development regulations and the maintenance
of required levels of service for such uses, places of worship, primary and secondary
schools, and accessory post -secondary educational facilities.
Professional offices, tourist and guest homes, museums, and private clubs or lodges are
allowed only in contributing structures within historic sites or historic districts that have
been designated by the Historical and Environmental Preservation Board and are in suit-
able locations within medium density multifamily residential areas, pursuant to applicable
land development regulations and the maintenance of required levels of service for such
uses. Density and intensity limitations for said uses shall be restricted to those of the con-
tributing structure(s).

"Restricted Commercial": Areas designated as "Restricted Commercial" allow residen-
tial uses (excepting rescue missions) to a maximum density equivalent to "High Density
Multifamily Residential" subject to the same limiting conditions; any activity included in
the "Office" designation as well as commercial activities that generally serve the daily,
retailing and service needs of the public, typically requiring easy access by personal auto,
and often located along arterial or collector roadways, which include: general retailing,
personal and professional services, real estate, banking and other financial services, res-
taurants, saloons and cafes, general entertainment facilities, private clubs and recreation
facilities, major sports and exhibition or entertainment facilities and other commercial
activities whose scale and land use impacts are similar in nature to those uses described
above, places of worship, and primary and secondary schools. This category also includes
commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels as permissible.
The Planning and Zoning Department is recommending APPROVAL of the
application as presented based on the following findings:
• It is found that immediately adjacent to the north, southeast and west of the subject
properties there is an area designated Medium Density Multifamily Residential.
• It is found that this petition, if granted, would leave two half lots facing SW 4th
Avenue with the Medium Density Multifamily Residential designation; the City
should apply to rezone these remnant lots at the next clean up of the land use map.
• It is found that the change to "Restricted Commercial" is a logical extension of that
category due to its location as a gateway into the Little Havana area and facing an exit
of the expressway.
• It is found that the character of the south side of SW 7th Street is not residential and it
is also found that similar petitions have been granted in the past for the south side of
SW 7tn Street.
• It is found that in Goal LU-1., the City promotes and facilitates economic
development and the growth of job opportunities in the City.
• It is found that Policy LU 1.1.6. the City will continue to encourage a diversification
in the mix of commercial activities.
These findings support the position that the existing land use pattern in this neighborhood
should be changed.
It also should be stated, that whereas MCNP Land Use Policy I .I .I . requires development
or redevelopment, that results in an increase in density or intensity of land use, to be
contingent upon availability of public facilities and services that meet or exceed the
minimum LOS standards adopted in the Capital Improvement Element (CIE) (CIE Policy
1.2.3.). It is found that the attached Concurrency Management Analysis pertaining to
concurrency demonstrates that no levels of service would be reduced below minimum
levels.
