Approximately 45 SW 8th Avenue, 715, 717, 727, &
735 SW 1st Street, and 702 & 720 W. Flagler Street
CASE NO: 2005-1065
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 properties are located at 45 SW 8th Street and 715-727 & 735 SW l5L Street
(complete legal description on file with the Hearing Boards Office), from C-1 "Restricted
Commercial" to C-1 "Restricted Commercial" and an SD-19 Overlay District with a 2.0
F.A.R.
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that the SD-19 "Designated F.A.R. Overlay District" is a district that was created
as an instrument to modify (.increase or decrease) the F.A.R. on specific properties within the
City.
• It is found that the effect of the SD-19 shall be to modify regulations within portions of other
zoning districts to designate properties or areas of the City with a specific floor area ratio
(F.A.R.).
• It is found that the subject properties have a C-1 "Restricted Commercial" zoning
designation that allows an F.A.R. of 1.72 and it is also found that the potential development
allowed, with the requested increase of 2.0 F.A..R., will results in a massive over-
development with all the subsequent negative results.
• The additional F.A.R. requested is not necessary to accommodate reasonable development.
The requested additional F.A.R. will only serve to create a massive amount of development
on this site that is totally out of scale and character with the surrounding area.
• It is found that the requested zoning designation change is not inconsistent with the
underlying land use designation and therefore does not require an amendment to the Future
Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending denial of the
application as presented.
