1851 Delaware Parkway
FILE NO: 06-006157,c(a)
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:
The subject properties are located at 1851 Delaware Parkway (complete legal description
on file with the Hearing Boards Office), from R-1 "Single Family Residential to C-2
"Liberal Commercial".
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that the subject property has an R-1 designation along the south boundary of the
property, which needs to be changed to C-2 "Liberal Commercial" in order for the parcel to
have a uniform and consistent zoning designation.
• It is found that this petition is also part of a (MUSP) for a mix -use project named "Miami
River Rapids".
• It is found that this project will require a Land Use Map designation change as well, as part
of the Major Use Special Permit (MUSP).
• It is found that the zoning change will permit a more cohesive mixed use project that will
provide the ability for the residents to walk to services at the ground level which activates the
streets. It is also found that the buildings massing and composition allows for the buildings to
scale down from Commercial to Residential in a way that does not negatively impact the
existing residential area.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the
application as part of the Major Use Special Permit.
