Re: Recommendation for Approval with Conditions of December
9, 2004 City Commission Agenda Item PZ-21
Dear Commissioner Winton:
This letter serves as the Miami River Commission's (MRC) "official
statement" to all City Commissioners, requested in City Resolution 00-
320, regarding December 9, 2004 City Commission agenda item PZ-21,
which impacts the Miami River.
On December 6, 2004, Mr. Kevin Provance, City of Miami
Planning Department, presented the draft City of Miami's Evaluation
Appraisal Report (EAR) to the Miami River Commission. The Miami
River Commission unanimously recommended approval of the draft
EAR, subject to the following conditions:
1. Draft EAR, page 197, Recommendation PA-1 - The MRC
concurs with U.S. Coast Guard James Watson's attached letter,
recommending deletion of the Comprehensive Plan "Port of
Miami" sub -element's inaccurate footnote.
2. Draft EAR, page 197, Recommendation PA-6 - MRC
recommends no amendments to Comprehensive Plan Policy
PA 3.1.1. The draft recommended amendment would
eliminate the existing opportunity to "encourage water related /
water dependent" uses in the lower and middle river, such as
water taxi's, recreational boat dockage along the riverwalk, etc.
3. Draft EAR, page 125 - MRC recommended amending the
boundary of the "upper river" to be west of the NW 22 Ave
Bridge.
