APPLICANT Ben Fernandez, Esquire, on behalf of Judy Galindo
for the Latin American Restaurant -Cafeteria
HEARING DATE June 24, 2004
REQUEST/LOCATION Modification of Covenant for 2947-49 SW 22nd
Terrace.
PETITION
Consideration of a modification to a covenant for
the property located at 2947-49 SW 22nd Terrace,
Miami, Florida.
PLANNING
RECOMMENDATION Denial.
BACKGROUND
AND ANALYSIS
The proposed modification to the covenant for the property located at 2947-49 SW 22nd
Terrace, Miami, Florida, also known as the "Latin American Cafeteria" property, is for the
purpose of relaxing certain terms of said covenant. The request includes allowing for
egress from the commercial property onto SW 22nd Terrace and moving the required
wall from the 20-foot setback line right up to the property line along SW 22nd Terrace.
The properties located across the street along SW 22nd Terrace are zoned R-2 Duplex
Residential.
The Planning and Zoning Department is recommending denial based on findings that the
conditions of this covenant were enacted in order to protect the adjacent residential area
from the detrimental effects of commercial intrusion. Although it is understood that
conditions have changed in the neighborhood, the fact that the neighborhood still
requires protection from incompatible commercial encroachment remains the same. The
release or modification of these conditions may result in adverse impacts on the
adjacent neighborhood.
