ANALYSIS FOR ZONING CHANGE
A portion of Watson Island.
CASE NO: 2003-070
Pursuant to Article 4, Section 401 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, the Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, the subject proposal for an amendment to the
Zoning Atlas has been reviewed as follows:
The request is to change the Zoning designation as follows:
The subject property consists of one parcel of 0.78 acres named "Proposed Tract B" and
located within the area at approximately at the northwest of the Watson Island, (Complete
legal description on file at the Hearing Boards Office), from PR "Parks and Recreation"
to C-! "Restricted Commercial".
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that immediately adjacent to the south, the area is commercially zoned
property and, this petition is in order to allow for the redevelopment of this quadrant
of Watson Island, while not reducing PR (Parks and Recreation) designated land
• It is found that a companion item on this agenda encompasses the change of zoning
for an adjacent tract from C-1 (Restricted Commercial) to PR "Parks and Recreation".
• It is found that the change to C-1 will allow for greater flexibility for the development
of the subject property by allowing for more commercial designated land adjacent to
the McArthur Causeway and more PR designated land adjacent to the waterfront.
Based on these findings, the Planning and Zoning Department is recommending
approval of the application as presented.
