HIAWATHA MUSP
located at
3535 Hiawatha Avenue
File No. 06-00436v
Pursuant to Section 401 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, The Zoning Ordinance of the
City of Miami, Florida, the subject proposal has been reviewed for Variance as follows:
Height Variance:
Required - 50'-0"
Proposed - 78'-4"
Request to waive - 28'-4"
In determining the appropriateness of the Variance for the proposed project the
following findings have been made:
• It is found that the proposed project will benefit the area on the block bounded by
Hiawatha Street (to the northwest) and West Glencoe Street (to the northeast) and
Biscayne Bay by creating new residential units.
• It is found that the height variance requested is a result of the applicant trying to
provide an enclosed surface parking at the ground level of the proposed eight (8)
stories residential condo; however, there is no substantial hardship which limits
reasonable use of the property.
It is found that the requested height variance will have no adverse effects on the
adjacent area and will not be injurious to the city or in conflict with the intent of the
zoning district.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending denial of the
application as presented.
