1 Herald Plaza
FILE NO: 06-00379zc
Pursuant to Article 4, Section 401 and Article 22 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 consist of the south portion of the parcel which comprise the
block bounded to the north by NE 15th Street and NE Bayshore Place aka "Herald
Iaza" (Complete legal description on file at the Hearing Boards Office), from C-2
"Liberal Commercial" to SD-6 "Central Commercial -Residential District".
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that the subject property is currently under the same ownership of the
parcel immediately to the north, which fronts NE Bayshore Drive (Herald Plaza).
• It is found that this petition is part of a Major Use Special Permit (MUSP) for a mix -
use project named "Herald Square Parcel 1".
• It is found that the theoretical potential residential use created by this amendment will
not be an intrusion into the existing liberal commercial uses due to the fact that the
project is located in downtown area, where this type of mixed -use project already
exist.
• It is found that the requested change to SD-6 "Central Commercial -Residential
District" will allow for greater flexibility in developing the proposed mixed use
project.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the
application as part of the Major Use Special Permit.
