Approximately 620, 630 and 640 SW 7th STREET &
665 SW 8th STREET
FILE NO: 06-00213zc
Pursuant to Article 4, Section 401 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, the Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, the subject proposal for an amendment to the
Zoning Atlas has been reviewed as follows:
The request is to change the Zoning designation as follows:
The subject property consists of six lots facing SW 7th Street (A complete legal
description is on isle at the Hearing Boards Office), from R-3 "Multifamily Medium -
Density Residential" and SD-12 "Buffer Overlay District" with a SD-25 "Southwest
8th Street Special Overlay District".
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that immediately adjacent to the south, the area is designated C-1
"Restricted Commercial" with SD-25 "Southwest 8th Street Special Overlay District".
• It is found that the character of the south side of SW 7th Street is not residential and it
is also found that similar petitions have been granted in the past for the south side of
SW 7th Street.
• It is found that the change to C-1 "Restricted Commercial" with SD-25 "Southwest
8th Street Special Overlay District" is a logical extension of that category in order for
SW 8th Street to function as a vital neighborhood commercial corridor.
• It is found that the change to C-1 "Restricted Commercial" with SD-25 "Southwest
8th Street Special Overlay District" is also a logical extension of that category and will
allow greater flexibility in developing the property in a manner that will be beneficial
to the surrounding area.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the
application as presented.
