CIVIC SPACE ZONE, OF THE PROPERTY GENERALLY LOCATED AT 1320
SOUTHWEST 21 STREET, MIAMI, FLORIDA, AS MORE PARTICULARLY
DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT "A," ATTACHED AND INCORPORATED; MAKING
FINDINGS; CONTAINING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, the property generally located at 1320 Southwest 21 Street, Miami, Florida,
as more particularly described in the attached and incorporated Exhibit "A," ("Property") is zoned
"T3-O," Sub -Urban Transect Zone — Open on the Zoning Atlas of Ordinance No. 13114, the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended ("Miami 21 Code"); and
WHEREAS, Arthur Noriega, V, the City Manager acting on behalf of the City of Miami
("Applicant") submitted a request to change the zoning classification of the Property from "T3-
0," Sub -Urban Transect Zone — Open, to "CS," Civic Space Zone; and
WHEREAS, the Property is one parcel totaling approximately 7,595 square feet (0.17
acres) of land; and
WHEREAS, the Future Land Use Map designation is Duplex Residential; and
WHEREAS, the request to rezone from "T3-0," Sub -Urban Transect Zone — Open, to
"CS," Civic Space Zone, is inconsistent with the Property's existing Future Land Use ("FLU") of
Duplex Residential, therefore, a concurrent Comprehensive Plan Amendment is required and
has been submitted as a companion application under PZ-23-17142; and
WHEREAS, the application to amend the Future Land Use Map ("FLUM") of the Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan ("MCNP") under PZ-23-17142 would amend the FLU of the
Property from "Duplex Residential" to "Public Parks and Recreation"; and
WHEREAS, the proposed FLU designation of "Public Parks and Recreation" under PZ-
23-17142 is consistent with the proposed zoning of "CS" Civic Space Zone; and
WHEREAS, the Property is currently undeveloped vacant land and is bordered by
single-family and multifamily residential uses; and

WHEREAS, the Property is bounded by single-family residential use to the north,
multifamily residential use to the south, single family residential use to the east, and duplex
residential to the west; and
WHEREAS, the Property is located in a portion of the Little Havana neighborhood where
there is a variety of zoning designations, commercial uses, and housing types; and
WHEREAS, the Property was zoned "R-2" under the previous 11000 Zoning Code,
which permitted 18 dwelling units per acre; and
WHEREAS, the proposed "CS," Civic Space Zone, classification would result in lower
intensity and density; and
WHEREAS, the application is consistent with Miami 21 Code, Article 7, Section
7.1.2.8.f1(a) in that rezoning the Property from "T3-O," Sub -Urban Transect Zone — Open, to
"CS," Civic Space Zone, is consistent with and helps further the Goals, Objectives, and Policies
of the MCNP; and
WHEREAS, this request to rezone the Property is consistent with the MCNP Policy LU-
1.3.15 to encourage a development pattern that enhances existing neighborhoods by
developing a balanced mix of uses including areas for employment, shopping, housing, and
recreation in close proximity to each other, which makes the request consistent with the
rezoning criteria of Miami 21 Code, Section 7.1.2.8.f.1; and
WHEREAS, this request to rezone the Property is consistent with the MCNP Objective
PR-1.1 intent of providing a park within a 10-minute walk of every resident, which makes the
request consistent with the rezoning criteria of Miami 21 Code, Section 7.1.2.8.f.1; and
WHEREAS, the proposed application is consistent with Miami 21 Code, Article 7,
Section 7.1.2.8.f.2 in that the proposed "CS," Civic Space Zone, is a lesser Transect Zone from
the existing "T3-O," Sub -Urban Transect Zone — Open, and is therefore successional under
Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a.; and
WHEREAS, the proposed rezoning is deemed appropriate in light of the intent of the
Miami 21 Code; and
WHEREAS, the City Planning Department recommends approval of the rezoning
application from "T3-O," Sub -Urban Transect Zone — Open, to the "CS," Civic Space Zone; and
WHEREAS, Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board ("PZAB") gave consideration to the
need and justification for the proposed zoning change, including changing and changed
conditions that make the passage of the proposed zoning change necessary; and
WHEREAS, PZAB has considered the goals, objectives, and policies of the Miami
Comprehensive Plan, the Miami 21 Code, and all other City regulations;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE PLANNING, ZONING AND APPEALS
BOARD OF THE CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA:
Section 1. The recitals and findings contained in the Preamble to this Resolution are
adopted by reference and incorporated as if fully set forth in this Section.
