Approximately 3300 Rice Street
CASE NO: 2004-0925
Pursuant to Article 4, Section 401 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, the Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, the subject proposal has been reviewed for an
amendment to the Zoning Atlas as follows:
The request is to change the Zoning designation as follows:
One lot along Rice Street, located approximately between Oak Avenue and Florida
Avenue, from SD-2 "Coconut Grove Central Commercial District" to SD-2
"Coconut Grove Central Commercial District" with an SD-19 "Designated F. A. R.
Overlay District" designating an F.A.R. of 2.23. (Complete legal description on file
with the Hearing Boards Office).
The following findings have been made:
•
It is found that the SD-19 "Designated F.A.R. Overlay District" was created as an
instrument to modify (increase or decrease) the F.A.R. on specific properties within
the City.
• It is found that due to the geographical conditions of the subject property and the
potential development allowed, the increase of the F.A.R. will results in a massive
over -development with all the subsequent negative results.
• The additional F.A.R. requested is not necessary to accommodate reasonable
development. The requested additional F.A.R. will only serve to create a massive
amount of development on this site that is totally out of scale and character with the
surrounding area.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending denial of the
application as presented.
