27 & 29 NW 34th Terrace and
34 NW 35th Street
FILE NO: 06-00409zc
Pursuant to Article 4, Section 401 and Article 22 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:
Lots 11 and Lots 26 through 28, Block 6, "WYNDWOOD PARK" (5 - 3), from R-2
"Two -Family Residential" and R-3 "Multifamily Medium -Density Residential" to
C-2 "Liberal Commercial".
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that the subject properties are currently under the same ownership of the
immediately adjacent lots to the east, facing North Miami Avenue, a major
transportation corridor.
• It is found that the frontages of the subject properties are on NW 35th Street and NW
36th Street, the character of these streets are residential.
• It is found that to the east of above described properties the designation is C-2
"Liberal Commercial" zoning designation. It is also found that Midtown Miami is
located directly across North Miami Court, to the east.
• It is found that this petition is part of a Major Use Special Permit (MUSP) for a
project named "MID TOWN PARK".
• It is found that the Land Use designation for the subject properties is not Restricted
Commercial, and requires a Land Use designation change as well.
• It is found that the theoretical potential commercial activities created by this
amendment will not be an intrusion into the existing residential neighborhood due to
the fact that the project will provide a large landscaped park open to the public along
with ground floor retail and live/work spaces which will activate the streets by
engaging pedestrian activities. This project will also be able to provide and maintain a
buffer to the existing neighborhood by allowing a proper transition in bulk and height
from the nearby residential to the C-2 "Liberal Commercial" designation.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the
application as part of the Major Use Special Permit.
