ANALYSIS
Case No. 2004-0893
VACATION AND CLOSURE OF A PORTION OF A PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY,
BEING THE PORTION OF A TEN (10) FOOT ALLEY BOUNDED BY NE 17th
STREET BETWEEN NORTH MIAMI AVENUE AND NE MIAMI COURT.
Pursuant to Section 55-15 (c) of the Miami City Code, the Planning and Zoning Department
has reviewed the proposed street vacation and closure to determine whether it is in the
public interest, or whether the general public would benefit from the vacation of the right-
o f-way.
The following findings have been made:
It is found that the closure and vacation of the alley could have unanticipated long-term
consequences and could ultimately facilitate the development of a building that is
inconsistent with the height, bulk and scale of existing buildings in the neighborhood.
• It is found that the property owner has failed to demonstrate any public benefits that
would be provided as a result of the proposed alley closure and vacation.
Based on these findings, the Planning and Zoning Department recommends denial
of the request.
