ANALYSIS FOR ZONING CHANGE
A portion of Watson Island.
CASE NO: 2003-072
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 0.79 acres named "Proposed Tract C" 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 C-! "Restricted Commercial'
to PR "Parks and Recreation".
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that immediately adjacent to the south and east, 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 PR (Parks and Recreation) to C-1 (Restricted Commercial).
• It is found that the proposed change to PR 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.
