COMMENTS:
The following comments were generated following the UDRB meeting on January 18, 2006 representing the
Planning Department and UDRB member's final conditions for Major Use Special Permit approval.
The City of Miami strives to achieve diverse pedestrian -friendly distinct neighborhoods, promote transit
connections, and provide contextual, safe, and comfortable buildings, blocks, streets, and parks that contribute
to a prosperous city for all residents to enjoy.
Landscaping
• Coordinate the plan sheets and landscape plan.
• Replace the small Montgomery Palms along Miami Avenue with an upright growing shade tree.
(Examples may be pink tabebuia, pigeon plum or others.) Accentuate the corners, entrances or other
features with Royal Palm clusters tightly spaced.
• Elaborate on the design of the recreation decks materials, design, landscape and structures. Explain
the details (colors, materials, etc.) of the cafe, lockers, and other buildings located on this level .
The committee commends the architecture and urban design of this project to enhance this area of the City.
* - Please note that the Planning Department reviews Special Permit proposals based on architectural design,
site planning and urban design issues. The project still needs to be reviewed and comply with other
requirements of the other sections such as Building, Mechanical, Public Works, Zoning, etc.
It is our intention with these comments to aid in expediting Special Permit applications with your
voluntary efforts in making the necessary changes; thereby, avoiding any preventable delays
particularly prior to a project's submission to the Large Scale Development Committee or the
Urban Development Review Board.
