PZ-23-17142 01/18/24 EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION The Subject Property currently has a Future Land Use Designation of Duplex Residential. Below is the excerpt from the MCNP that defines the Duplex Residential Future Land Use (FLU) Designation. Areas designated as "Duplex Residential" allow residential structures of up to two dwelling units each to a maximum density of 18 dwelling units per acre, subject to the detailed provisions of the applicable land development regulations and the maintenance of required levels of service for facilities and services included in the City's adopted concurrency management requirements. Community based residential facilities (14 clients or less, not including drug, alcohol or correctional rehabilitation facilities) also will be allowed pursuant to applicable state law. Places of worship, primary and secondary schools, child day care centers and adult day care centers are permissible in suitable locations within duplex residential areas. Professional offices, tourist and guest homes, museums, and private clubs or lodges are allowed only in contributing structures within historic sites or historic districts that have been designated by the Historical and Environmental Preservation Board and are in suitable locations within duplex residential areas, pursuant to applicable land development regulations and the maintenance of required levels of service for such uses. Density and intensity limitations for said uses shall be restricted to those of the contributing structure(s). The parcels immediately north, west, and south of the Subject Property also have the Duplex Residential FLU Designation. The parcel to the east of the property has a Single -Family Residential designation. PROPOSED FU I URE LAND USE DESIGNATION The proposed designation of Public Parks & Recreation allows the following: The primary intent of this land use classification is to conserve open space and green spaces of a park while allowing access and uses which will not interfere with the preservation of any significant environmental features which may exist within the park. This land use designation allows only open space and park uses with recreational and cultural uses where the total building footprints and impervious parking area surfaces in parks of one (1) acre of more may cover no more than 25% of the park land area (See related Policy PR-2.1.3.). Both passive and active recreational uses shall be permitted including but not limited to nature trails, interpretive centers, picnic areas, playgrounds, canoe trails and launches, small concession stands, restrooms, gyms, swimming pools, Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-23-17142 FLUM Amendment - Page 3 01/17/2024 This submTtal needs to be scheduled for a public hearing In accordance wlUl tlmelines set forth in the City of Miami Code.

There are two Institutional Facilities within walking distance of the Property. Coral Way K-8 Center Public School is one block north of the Property. El Cordero Presbyterian Church is one block northwest of the Property. The Property is approximately 0.6 miles and a 10 to 15 minute walk northeast of the upcoming Woodside Park located at 3701 Southwest 1st Avenue, which is the nearest park. There are no other parks within a 15 minute walk of the Property. The Vizcaya Metrorail station is approximately 11 minute walking distance south from the Property, leaving the site just outside of the Transit Oriented Development Area. There are several Miami -Dade County Metrobus stops within a 5 minute walk of the Property, they include bus routes 12, 17, and 24. The City of Miami trolley also runs through Southwest 22 Street, which is one block south of the Property. NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT: SOCIODEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS Planning Department Staff retrieved data from the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) to analyze the sociodemographics of the area surrounding the Subject Property. Staff utilized the 2018-2022 ACS 5-Year Estimates and observed various data points for Census Tract 65.04. The table below shows the various data points for both the Census Tract and City of Miami. Summary of Census Data for Subject Census Tract: 12086006504 Topic.

Owner occupied housing within the census tract is more than double the city wide average, and the average household income is nearly double the city average as well. SITE VISIT Planning Department staff visited the Property on September 8, 2023. The site visit was conducted at 10:30 AM. Staff observed a stable residential neighborhood. There were several cars parked along the right of way in front of the site on SW 21 ST. Most homes had parked cars indicating they were occupied. Overall, the neighborhood was quiet with little traffic. The site has several mature trees providing ample shade. The adjacent Cuban memorial Boulevard provides a good opportunity to connect to existing City Park system and enhance the urban fabric of the city. Also, there is a dead end on the west side of SW 21 ST that is vegetated and would be a good opportunity to add more park space. Looking west into the Property from the sidewalk at 13 Ave. The site is well shaded with mature trees. Looking northeast from the Property at Cuban Memorial Boulevard at SW 13 Ave. A shaded walkway with seating can be seen with a visitor. Looking south at the Property from the sidewalk on SW 21 ST. Adjacent multifamily building can be seen in the background. Looking west from the Property at SW 21 St. The vegetated dead-end street could be a potential additional park space. Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-23-17142 FLUM Amendment - Page 6 01/17/2024 Looking east down SW 21 ST from the sidewalk at the Property. Several cars are parked in the ROW and across the street. This submMal needs to be scheduled for a public hearing In accordance with tlmellnes set forth in the City of Miami Code. The applicaPse decision -mall ng bodywill review the information at the public hearing to render a recommendation or a final decal on. PZ-23-17142 01/18/24 Looking east at Cuban Memorial Boulevard from the Property at SW 13 Ave. Single family residential use can be seen across the street. CONCURRENCY ANALYSIS The Planning Department tested levels of service as required for this application. The Levels of Service (LOS) testing is based on a potential increase in population. For this request, residential density would be eliminated under the proposed FLU designation. Because no residential density would be generated, the only concurrency testing required is for Transportation. Schools School concurrency is not required because the request reduces density from 18 dwelling units per acre (DU/AC) to zero. Recreation and Open Space The MCNP requires a 10-minute, 1/2-mile barrier -free walk to a park entrance to meet public Levels of Service (LOS). Currently, there is one proposed community park, Woodside Park located at 3701 SW 1 Avenue, that is barely within a 10-minute walking radius of the Property. There are no other parks within a 10-minute walking radius of the site. Potable Water Potable Water concurrency testing is not required because the request reduces density from 18 DU/AC to zero. Sanitary Sewer Transmission Sanitary Sewer Transmission concurrency testing is not required because the request reduces density from 18 DU/AC to zero. Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-23-17142 FLUM Amendment - Page 7 01/17/2024 This submittal needs to be scheduled for a puboc hearing accordancein with timelines set forth in the City of MiamCede.The applicade decision -making bodywill review the information at the public hearing to render a recommendation or a final decision. PZ-23-17142 01/18/24 Solid Waste Collection Solid Waste Collection concurrency testing is not required because the request reduces density from 18 DU/AC to zero. Transportation In the January 2024 concurrency review for the application, the Department of Resilience and Public Works acknowledged that the proposal would increase daily trips by 32 and 12 additional P.M. peak hour trips. Based on the preliminary analysis for transportation concurrency, a traffic study may be required at the time of development. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS The following is an analysis of the application relative to the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the MCNP. Criteria 1 Policy LU-1.6.4: "Any proposal to amend the City's Zoning Atlas that has been deemed to require an amendment to the Future Land Use Plan Map by the Planning Department, shall require a level of service (LOS) review and a finding from the Planning Department that the proposed amendment will not result in a LOS that falls below the adopted minimum standards described in Policy CI- 1.2.3, and will not be in conflict with any element of the MCNP. Based on its evaluation, and on other relevant planning considerations, the Planning Department will forward a recommended action on said amendment to the Planning Advisory Board, which will then forward its recommendation to the City Commission." Analysis 1 Schools concurrency is not required because the request reduces density from 18 DU/AC to 0 DU/AC. Staff analyzed Recreation and Open Space using GIS and determined the proposal meets LOS standards. There currently is one park within a 10-minute walking radius of the property. The property will serve as additional parkland in an area that is either served by one community park or none. Potable Water, Sanitary Sewer Transmission, and Solid Waste Collection concurrency testing are not required because the request reduces the density from (18) DU/AC to 0 DU/AC. Staff from Resilience & Public Works analyzed the application for Transportation LOS and found that (32) daily trips and (12) PM peak hour trips would be generated by maximum build -out of the proposed Public Parks and Recreation FLU designation. All concurrency analyses are attached separately. See Attachment 1. Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-23-17142 FLUM Amendment - Page 8 01/17/2024 This submMal needs to be scheduled for a public hearing In accordance with tlmellnes set forth in the City of Miami Code. The applicaPse decision -mall ng bodywill review the information at the public hearing to render a recommendation or a final decal on. PZ-23-17142 01/18/24 Finding 1 Staff finds the request consistent with Policy LU-1.6.4. Criteria 2 Policy PR-1.1.2: "The City will focus on park land acquisition according to the following four equal priorities that emerged from community preferences during the 2007 Parks Master Plan process land with water views and/or water access; land for `walk -to' parks, including neighborhood parks, in underserved areas of the City identified in Citywide and NET -area maps in the 2007 Parks Master Plan and any subsequent updates to these maps; land to expand destination and community parks; land for expansion or creation of linear park segments. Information on target priorities and target areas for new parks will be disseminated to all relevant City departments to enhance the potential for parkland acquisition in conjunction with infrastructure and other projects. Ideally, new parks should be at least one-half acre in size, but smaller areas may be suitable, depending on the surroundings and proposed uses." Analysis 2 The proposed FLUM amendment from Single -Family Residential to Public Parks and Recreation is the result of the City of Miami's park land acquisition efforts to increase park land in underserved areas. Currently, there is only one small community park within a 10 minute walk from the Subject Property. The proposed amendment to the FLUM for the Property would serve to fill gaps in the Little Havana area between Woodside Park and Coral Way Park, which are small parks that offer limited programming. The proposed amendment would also connect to Cuban Memorial Boulevard, making the Property an expansion of a linear park. Finding 2 Staff finds the request consistent with Policy PR-1.1.2. Criteria 3 Policy LU-1.8.3: "The City shall actively participate in the Southeastern Florida Regional Climate Change Compact and collaborate to increase regional climate change resiliency by sharing technical expertise, assessing regional vulnerabilities, advancing agreed upon mitigation and adaptation strategies and developing joint state and federal legislation policies and programs." Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-23-17142 FLUM Amendment - Page 9 01/17/2024 This submMal needs to be scheduled for a public hearing In accordance with tlmellnes set forth in the City of Miami Code. The applicaPse decision -mall ng bodywill review the information at the public hearing to render a recommendation or a final decal on. PZ-23-17142 01/18/24 Analysis 3 The Regional Climate Action Plan (RCAP) is the Southeast Florida Regional Climate Change Compact's plan to guide participants in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building climate resilience to mitigate against the future challenges of climate change. RCAP has many chapters dedicated to different areas of opportunities for mitigation including an entire chapter on public health. RCAP's Public Health chapter includes the following policy: PH-04: Reduce extreme heat exposure to promote public health. Policy PH-04 offers many solutions, however, the two most relevant solutions are: - Increase the urban tree canopy to reduce extreme heat and provide shade. - Reduce the urban heat island effect by encouraging and/or requiring highly reflective paving and roofing materials and/or increasing vegetation on buildings. The Applicant's proposal to amend the FLUM of the MCNP from Duplex Residential to Public Park and Recreation would work towards reducing urban heat island effect by reducing the footprint of impervious surfaces in favor of vegetation and trees. Under the relevant land development regulations, the zoning transect that corresponds with the proposed FLU designation allows less impervious surface than the existing zoning transect and its corresponding FLU designation. A park would assist in reducing urban heat island effect, which would aid in reducing extreme heat exposure and promoting public health per policy PH-04 of RCAP. Finding 3 Staff finds the request consistent with Policy LU-1.8.3. CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis of the area context and the goals and objectives of the MCNP, the request to amend the FLUM by changing the designation for the property located at 1320 SW 21 ST ("the Property") from Duplex Residential to Public Parks and Recreation, staff finds the request is justified based on the lack of existing municipal park and recreation space in the immediate area and the support of the community to create the proposed park as evidenced in the Neighborhood Outreach Report. Amending the FLUM of the MCNP from Single -Family Residential to Public Parks and Recreation will add recreation and green space to residents within walking and biking distance that are not currently served by a park. The proposed amendment will also enhance the existing neighborhood by providing a second park option to residents in the area that are currently served by another park. Finally, the proposed park would result in a reduction of impervious surface, which would work towards reduction of urban heat island effect, which can mitigate against extreme heat exposure and promote better public health.
