Approximately 632 & 634 NE 68th STREET.
CASE NO: 2004-0914
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 consists of two adjacent lots facing NE 68th Street (Complete
legal description on file at the Hearing Boards Office), from R-1 "Single Family
Residential" to C-1 "Restricted Commercial" with an SD-9 "Biscayne Boulevard
North Overlay District".
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that immediately adjacent to the north, east and south of the subject
properties the areas are designated R-1 "Single Family Residential.
• It is found that the character of the NE 68th Street is low density residential,
specifically single family residential.
• It is found that the change to C-1 "Restricted Commercial" with an SD-9 "Biscayne
Boulevard North Overlay District" is not a logical extension of that zoning
designation and will bring a more intense commercial use into a low density
residential street.
• It is found that a zoning change at this location may set a negative precedent and
create a "domino effect" in regards to future zoning change application.
• It is found that the actual R-1 "Single Family Residential" zoning designation allows
9 residential units per acre and the requested C-1 "Restricted Commercial with an
SD-9 "Biscayne Boulevard North Overlay District" designation will allow 150
residential units per acre.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending denial of the
application as presented.
