RECOMMENDATION
Consideration of amending Ordinance No. 11000, as
amended, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, by
amending Article 4, Section 401, Schedule of District
Regulations, to modify the (0) "Office" zoning classification
to include fire stations as conditional principal uses,
subject to Special Exception permit, with City Commission
approval.
Approval.
BACKGROUND AND
ANALYSIS The proposed amendment is for the purpose of including
fire stations in the 0 Office zoning classification as a
conditional principal use, subject to Special Exception
Permit with City Commission approval. 0 Office zoning
districts are generally located along major arterial roadways
adjacent to residential areas. Fire stations are intended to
house such emergency vehicles and staff so as to
conveniently protect life and property. The Planning
Department finds that residential areas can benefit from
having a certain number of fire stations within close
proximity so as to have emergency assistance located
within convenient access. The required Special Exception
permit (with City Commission approval) is for the purpose of
ensuring that appropriate buffers are provided when
implementing such facilities.
