APPEAL BY MORNINGSIDE CIVIC ASSOCIATION, ROD ALONSO,
RON STEBBINS, SCOTT CRAWFORD AND ELVIS CRUZ, OF THE
CLASS II SPECIAL PERMIT APPLICATION NO. 04-0198
REGARDING THE PROPERTIES LOCATED AT APPROXIMATELY
5301-5501 BISCAYNE BOULEVARD, MIAMI, FLORIDA, MORE
PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN "EXHIBIT A" (HEREBY
ATTACHED).
WHEREAS, the Miami Zoning Board at its meeting on December 13, 2004, Item
No. 2, adopted Resolution No. ZB 2004-0960 by a vote of seven to one (7-1), to DENY
the appeal filed by the Morningside Civic Association, Rod Alonso, Ron Stebbins, Scott
Crawford and Elvis Cruz (collectively the "Appellants") of a Class 11 Special Permit
Application No. 04-0198 issued by the Planning Director on October 27, 2004; and
WHEREAS, the Appellants appealed the decision of the Miami Zoning Board to
the City Commission which, at its meeting on March 10, 2005, passed Resolution No. R-
05-0155, signed by the Mayor on March 17, 2005 GRANTING the Appellants' appeal
and thereby denying Class II Special Permit Application No. 04-0198; and
WHEREAS, the developer, Morningside Development, LLC, filed a petition for
writ of certiorari from City Commission Resolution R-05-0155, and, on October 18,
2005, the Circuit Court Appellate Division issued an order quashing Resolution No. R-
05-0155 and remanding the case back to the City Commission for proceedings consistent
with the opinion of the Court; and
WHEREAS, the Court, in the above stated order ruled the City Commission must
make written findings and determinations under Section 1305 of the Miami Zoning
Ordinance and further held that the City Commission's review of the Zoning Board's
decision is limited to a traditional appellate review based on the record actually presented
to the Zoning Board; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission, at its hearing on January 26, 2006, remanded
this matter to the Zoning Board for modification of its December 13, 2004 resolution to
provide the written findings and determinations required by Section 1305 of the Miami
Zoning Ordinance;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MIAMI ZONING BOARD:
Section 1. The recitals and findings contained in the Preamble to this Resolution
are adopted by reference and incorporated as if fully set forth in this Section.
Section 2. Based on the facts and arguments presented to the Miami Zoning
Board on December 13, 2004, it is found that:
a. The proposed project complies with all applicable provisions of the
City of Miami Zoning Ordinance, Ordinance No. 11000. The applicant met its
burden of showing, to the satisfaction of the Planning Director and other relevant
City staff, that the proposed project met all of the criteria for issuance of a Class II
Special Permit. The Planning Director's approval, with conditions. of the Class II
Special Penult, after referral to the Zoning Division of the Planning and Zoning
Department, the Upper Eastside NET Office and the Urban Development Review
Board, further indicates that the proposed project complies with all applicable
code requirements, including the design review criteria in Section 1305.2.
b. The project drawings, which are part of the record, indicate that the
proposed project complies with all of the applicable design review criteria in
Section 1305.2 of Ordinance No. 11000.
c. The project architect, Bernard Zyscovich, testified that the
proposed project complies with the applicable requirements in the SD-9 district,
Section 609 of the Zoning Ordinance [Transcript at 7, 9-10].
d. As the proposed project is no more than 8 stories, or 92 feet high
[Transcript at 14-15], it falls within with the height limitations that apply in the
SD-9 District, Section 609.8.1, as of the date the application was deemed
complete.
e. Ordinance No. 12594, relating to the height and roofline angle of
garage structures abutting R-1 districts, did not take effect until several months
after the applicant's complete application was submitted and is, therefore,
inapplicable to the proposed project. [Oct. 18, 2005 Circuit Court Decision].
f. Although the Appellants had a full opportunity to offer testimony
and/or other evidence in support of their appeal, the Appellants failed to present
any competent substantial evidence to indicate that the proposed project does not
comply with any of the criteria in Section 1305 of Ordinance No. 11000.
Appellants also failed to offer any competent substantial evidence to show that the
proposed project is adverse to the public interest.
Section 3. Based on the foregoing findings and determinations, the Miami Zoning
Board DENIES the appeal.
