Re: Recommendation for Approval of November 18, 2004 City
Commission Agenda Items PZ-25 & PZ-26
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 November 18, 2004 City Commission agenda items PZ-25
& PZ-26, which impact the Miami River.
On November 1, 2004, Ms. Gloria Velazquez, Greenberg Traurig,
and Mr. Richard Dubin presented a proposed residential project, which
requires amendments to land use and zoning at 517, 555 and 603 NW
South River Drive from Marine Industrial to Commercial. The MRC
recognized the mixed -use nature of this "middle river" area, and by a
vote of 10-3 found the proposal to be in the best interest of the narrow
subject property and the Miami River corridor. In addition, the MRC
found the proposed project to be consistent with the Miami River
Greenway Action Plan, in providing a publicly accessible riverwalk
and an "on -road Greenway", funded and constructed by the proposed
developer, within City of Miami owned public right-of-way along NW
South River Drive.
Sincerely,
Irela Bague
Chair,
Miami River Commission
