ANALYSIS FOR PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF THE
MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
CASE NO: 2004-032
On November 13, 2002, the Planning & Zoning Department received from the Florida
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) an "Objections. Recommendations and
Comments" (ORC) report regarding proposed text amendments to the Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP). The amendments, having been adopted on
first reading by the City Commission, were transmitted to DCA on August 26, 2002 for
review pursuant to statutory requirements. The proposed amendments addressed (1) the
Parks, Recreation and Open Space Element of the MCNP, establishing specific goals
associated with creation of a new park in Little Haiti, and (2) the Transportation Element
of the MCNP, implementing recommendations of the adopted Evaluation and Appraisal
Report (EAR), affirming the designation of an Urban Infill Area, establishing Urban
Streets, and complying with State of Florida requirements.
The ORC report identified eight specific areas of concern, providing recommendations
for each. The Planning & Zoning Department, with input from the City's Transportation
Coordinator, has prepared the attached response to the ORC report and has modified its
proposed amendments to the adopted Goals, Objectives and Policies of the MCNP to
address the State's requirements. The Planning & Zoning Department recommends
approval of these proposed amendments.
