Approximately 3439 Main Highway
(a.k.a. 2750 McFarlane Road).
CASE NO: 2003-0695
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:
The subject property consists of one lot facing Main Highway (Complete legal
description on file at the Hearing Boards Office), from R 1 "Single Family
Residential" with an SD-18 "Minimum Lot Size Overlay to SD-2 "Coconut Grove
Central Commercial District".
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that immediately adjacent to the northeast, north and northwest of the
subject property there is an area designated SD-2 "Coconut Grove Central Commercial
District".
• It is found that the change to SD-2 "Coconut Grove Central Commercial District" is a
logical extension of that category.
• It is found that the requested change to SD-2 "Coconut Grove Central Commercial
District" will bring all of the St. Stephen Church properties under the same zoning
designation.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the
application as presented.
