Case No. 2005-1054
VACATION AND CLOSURE OF A PORTION OF SW 11t't BETWEEN SW 3td
AVENUE AND I-95 EXPRESSWAY.
Pursuant to Section 55-15 (c) of the Miami City Code, the Planning and Zoning Department
has reviewed the proposed street vacation and closure to determine whether it is in the
public interest, or whether the general public would benefit from the vacation of the right-
of-way.
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that the Solid Waste Department and emergency vehicles utilize this street
and that closing the street would limit emergency and public access to adjacent
properties.
• It is found that the vacation of the street could have unanticipated long term
consequences and could ultimately facilitate the development of a building that is
inconsistent with the height, bulk, scale and character of existing buildings south of SW
1 lth Street.
• It is found that the property owner has failed to demonstrate any public benefits that
would be provided as a result of the proposed street vacation.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department recommends denial of the
request.
