501 BRICKELL AVENUE
CASE NO: 2005-0982
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:
The subject property located at 501 Brickell Avenue (complete legal description on
file with the Hearing Boards Office), from PR "Park and Recreation" to SD-5
"Brickell Avenue Area Residential -Office District.
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that immediately adjacent to the north and west, the area is designated
SD-5 "Brickell Avenue Area Residential -Office District" and to the south, the area is
designated PR "Park and Recreation".
• It is found that this change of zoning is in order to develop a rnixed-use project known
as Icon Brickell Major Use Special Permit ("MUSP").
• It is found that this application is in order to develop a portion of the site, along with
the land to the north, while maintaining appropriate setbacks to the proposed mixed
use project near the south portion of the Miami River and Downtown Miami.
• It is found that the requested change to SD-5 "Brickell Avenue Area Residential -
Office District" will allow greater flexibility in developing the proposed mixed use.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the
change of zoning as a component of a Major Use Special Permit application as
presented.
