BACKGROUND
SUBMITTED INTO THE
PUBLIC RECORD FOR
ITEM%'' ONs-arl -01 .
1. The property which is the subject of this dispute ("Subject Property") is owned by
Mercy Hospital, Inc., a Florida not for profit organization. The Subject Property consists of
approximately 6.723 acres and is presently improved as a surface parking lot used in connection with
Mercy Hospital's operations. The Subject Property is located adjacent and contiguous to Biscayne
Bay. Its approximate address is 3663 S. Miami Avenue.
2. The Subject Property is currently under contract for purchase by TRG MH Venture
Ltd., a Florida limited partnership, which is comprised of multiple business entities including, The
Related Group of Florida, a Florida general partnership ("Related Group"). A true copy of the
organizational structure and interested parties in TRG MH Venture Ltd. is attached hereto as Exhibit
3. The Related Group proposes to develop the Subject Property with three multi -story
residential condominium towers totaling 300 units known as 300 Grove Bay Residences ("Project").
As proposed, the heights of the three towers at their tallest points are approximately 410 feet, 367 feet
and 304 feet. Arranged in an east -west direction, the tallest building will be approximately 37 stories,
the center tower will be approximately 32 stories and the western tower will be approximately 27
stories. The Subject Property is and the proposed condominium towers would be situated
approximately 1300 feet from the nearest point of Grove Isle's ownership.
4. The Subject Property is presently zoned Government/Institutional. To develop the
Subject Property as proposed, the Related Group must, among other things, change the existing
zoning of the property from Government/Institutional to R-4, Multi -Family High Density Residential.
The Related Group is presently seeking, among other things, this change of zoning to facilitate its
development of the Project.
5. On or about June 2, 2004, the Planning and Zoning Department recommended to the
Planning Advisory Board, an amendment to the Government/Institutional zoning ordinance "in order
to prevent incompatible uses from occurring within low density neighborhoods when G/I zoned
property ceases to be used for Government and/or Institutional Uses". According to the Planning and
Zoning Department, this could be "accomplished by specifying that when G/I zoned property is not
going to be used for Governmental and Institutional uses (including accessory uses) it can only be
used as per the less intense abutting zoning district." The City of Miami's Planning Advisory Board
considered this change to be in the best interests of the citizens of the City of Miami, approved the
Planning and Zoning Department's recommendation and unanimously recommended approval of this
change to the City Commission. A true copy of the City of Miami Planning and Zoning Department
Planning Fact Sheet dated July 14, 2004, is attached hereto as Exhibit "B" (Emphasis Supplied).
6. On July 22, 2004 and on September 27, 2004, the City Commission, upon the
unanimous recommendation of the Planning Advisory Board, approved the text amendment of the
Government/Institutional Zoning Ordinance as proposed. In doing so, the City Commission expressly
determined this amendment to be in the best interests of the citizens of the City of Miami. A true
copy of Ordinance No. 12592, passed by the City Commission on second reading on September 27,
2004, is attached hereto as Exhibit "C".

PUBLIC RECORD FOR
7. To protect against and "prevent incompatible uses from occurring in low density
neighborhoods" when GI zoned property ceases to be used for Government and Institutional uses, the
City Commission, by adoption of this text amendment, expressly limited the maximum intensity of
residential uses on the Subject Property from R-4 Multi -Family High Density Residential to "the least
intense abutting zoning district".
8. By its application to rezone the Subject Property, the Related Group is asking the City
Commission to waive the "intensity" limitations imposed by the September 27, 2004 text amendment
to the GI zoning ordinance and allow it to develop its Project to R-4 Multi -Family High Density
Residential, in direct contravention of the rights and protections afforded the citizens of the City of
Miami's through the adoption of this 2004 text amendment. To do so would grant the Related Group
a special privilege and constitute spot zoning where no lawful basis for the same exists.
9. The Planning Department of the City of Miami includes the Land Development and
Urban Design Divisions. The Land Development Division is responsible for, among other things,
analyzing and making recommendations on development proposals, special permits, variances,
changes of zoning, and land use designation changes that affect the general welfare of the City of
Miami. The Urban Design Division is responsible for, among other things, developing and
implementing a visionary plan for the future development of the City of Miami.
10. On April 4, 2006, at the early stages of the Related Group's Project these Divisions of
the City of Miami Planning Department analyzed the Project. This analysis involved reviewing the
proposed Project from the standpoint of Zoning, Urban Design and Architecture.
11. On April 4, 2006, the Planning Department provided the following Design Review
Comments regarding the Related Group's proposed Project:
"The change of zoning of this property from G/I to R-4, combined additional FAR gained
from bay frontage and adjacent roads, results in a project density that is inappropriate for
Page 3 of 10
SUBMITTED INTO THE
PUBLIC RECORD FOR
the existing conditions of this area. The FAR bonuses in the application further exacerbate
this situation. The Planning Department feels that the project is out of scale with the area,
and that if the applicant chooses to rezone the property, it should be to a land use that is
consistent with the adjacent neighborhood, which is R-1 zoning." (Emphasis Supplied)
A true copy of the City of Miami Planning Department Design Review Comments is attached
hereto as Exhibit "D" (Emphasis Supplied).
12. On April 4, 2006, the City Manager of the City of Miami was Joe Arriola. The
Assistant City Manager/Chief of Operations at that time was Alicia Cuervo Schreiber. The Director of
Planning for the City of Miami on April 4, 2006, was Ana Gelabert-Sanchez. At all times material
herein, Bill Thompson was Senior Vice President of the Related Group and a Project Executive for
the Related Group Project at 300 Grove Bay Residences.
13. On April 18, 2006, Assistant City Manager Alicia Cuervo Schreiber requested that
Planning Director Ana Gelabert-Sanchez contact Bill Thompson of the Related Companies about his
Project related "questions/concerns regarding the pre -application meeting date which has not been set
met and his deadline for his Large Scale submission by May." Ms. Gelabert was asked by Ms. Cuervo
Schreiber to contact Mr. Thompson before the end of the day. Ms. Gelabert-Sanchez was also asked
to call Ms. Cuervo-Schreiber thereafter to brief her as Ms. Cuervo-Schreiber had a meeting scheduled
with Bill Thompson and City Manager Arriola the following morning, April 19th. True copies of e-
mails sent by and/or on behalf of Ms. Cuervo on April 18, 2007 are attached hereto as Exhibit "E".
14. On April 20, 2007, a day after Mr. Thompson's scheduled meeting with City Manager
Arriola and Assistant City Manager Cuervo-Schreiber, a pre -application meeting was held. In
attendance at that meeting was a representative of the City's Planning Department, a representative of
the City Manager's Office and, seven representatives for the Related Group. In attendance on behalf

PUBLIC RECORD FOR

of the City of Miami were Kevin Wolford of the Planning Department and Alicia Cuervo Schreiber of
the City Manager's Office. In attendance on behalf of the Related Group were Bill Thompson and
two additional Related Group representatives, two representatives of Architectonica; the architects for
the Project, and two attorneys from Greenberg Traurig, the attorneys for the Project. A true copy of
the sign -in sheet for the Pre -Application Meeting held on April 20, 2007, is attached hereto as Exhibit
"F" (Emphasis Supplied).
15. On May 25, 2006, Assistant City Manager Cuervo Schreiber tendered her resignation
to City Manager Arriola advising that she had decided to "accept a position in the development
industry". The position to be taken by Ms. Cuervo Schreiber within the development industry was a
position with the Related Group.
16. On or about June 7, 2006, the Related Group filed its application for a Change of
Zoning from Government/Institutional to R-4 and for a Major Use Special Permit to facilitate its
development of the Project.
17. Assistant City Manager Cuervo Schreiber's last day at the City of Miami was on or
about June 23, 2006. Since joining the Related Group, Ms. Cuervo Schreiber has been elevated to Sr.
Project Manager of the Project at 300 Grove Bay Residences.
18. Thereafter and sometime prior to the first scheduled Zoning Board Meeting, the
Planning Department issued what it called an "Analysis for Zoning Change". Therein, the Planning
Department, contrary to the Planning Department's April 4, 2006, Design Review Comments,
recommended that the Related Group's requested zoning change to R-4 Multi -Family High Density
Residential be granted because, most noteworthy, "it would provide greater flexibility in developing
the proposed residential use" at the Subject Property. A true copy of the "Analysis for Zoning
Change" is attached hereto as Exhibit "G" (Emphasis Supplied). SUBMITTED INTO TH E

ITEM 111.3ON3a'7.U7,
19. On September 11, 2006, a hearing on the Related Group's requested zoning change
was held before the City of Miami Zoning Board. The Zoning Board rejected the Planning
Department's recommendation for approval of the Related Group's requested change of zoning to R-
4, Multifamily High -Density Residential and recommended denial of the requested zoning change.
20. On September 20, 2006, the City of Miami's Planning Advisory Board ("PAB")
declined to approve two (2) Planning Department recommendations in favor of the Project. The
PAB did not approve the Planning Department's recommended change to the Future Land Use Map
for the Subject Property to "High -Density Multifamily Residential" nor the Planning Department's
recommendation for a Major Use Special Permit to allow the Related Group to construct the Project
on the Subject Property.
NOTWITHSTANDING, THE CITY COMMISSION DECIDES.....
21. Notwithstanding the rights afforded by the 2004 text amendment to the G/I zoning
ordinance and the underlying intent to protect the public against incompatible uses occurring in low
density neighborhoods; and, notwithstanding the Planning Department's April 4, 2006, determination
that the requested change of zoning from G/I to R-4 (i) would result in a Project density that is
inappropriate for the existing conditions of the area, and (ii) would result in a Project that is out of
scale with the area and, that a change of zoning for the Subject Property should be to a land use
consistent with the adjacent R-1 zoned neighborhood; and, notwithstanding the Zoning Board's
September 11, 2006, recommendation of denial of the Related Group's rezoning request; and
notwithstanding the September 20, 2006, Planning Advisory Board's failure to approve the land use
designation of the subject Property and Major Use Special Permit for the Project, the City
Commission decided, on January 25, 2007, by a vote of three to two (3-2) to approve the Related
Group's requested change of zoning for the Subject Property frS(JBMITt4NiTO TH E

Multi -Family High -Density Residential. The Commissioners voting in favor of the Related Group's
rezoning request were Commissioners Sanchez and Gonzalez' and, Commissioner Spence -Jones.
22. Grove Isle has consistently opposed the Project before the Zoning Board, the Planning
Advisory Board and the City Commission based upon facts known to it at the time. Grove Isle will
suffer adverse effects as a result of the City's adoption of the resolution authorizing a re -zoning of the
subject property. If developed, the Project's immense size, incompatible scale with the area, bulk,
height, mass, and total lack of context will irreparably and adversely affect Grove Isle's quality of life,
light and view and negatively impact its market value. The Project will totally envelop and
overwhelm the low -scaled character of the surrounding area and irreparably alter the landscape of the
area. The rezoning of the Subject Property effectively invalidates the rights and protections afforded
by the 2004 text amendment to the Government/Institutional zoning ordinance, the protections of
which were adopted for the benefit of Grove Isle and every other citizen of the City of Miami. Grove
Isle's interests are protected by the zoning code, development standards and comprehensive
neighborhood plan all of which are designed to protect Grove Isle and every other the citizens' quality
of life within the City of Miami. The Related Group's proposed Project introduces unauthorized
incompatible high density high intensity residential uses that are inconsistent with existing zoning
protections and in fact prohibited by the existing zoning protections and, which are inconsistent with,
or do not further, the comprehensive neighborhood plan.

unless he "relinquished the chair" as required by Section 2-34(b) of the City Code.
28. On January 25, 2007, Commissioner Gonzalez, debated and voted in favor of the
Related Group's rezoning application but did not "relinquish the chair" as mandated by Section 2-
34(b) of the City Code, prior to doing so. At all times material herein, the City Commission was
represented by the City Attorney's office.
29. On January 25, 2007, the Clerk of the City Commission announced that the Related
Group's application for rezoning passed by a three to two (3-2) vote in favor thereof. Commissioner
Gonzalez' vote was one (1) of three (3) votes in favor. Without Commissioner Gonzalez' vote, the
Related Group's rezoning application fails.
30. Commissioner Gonzalez' vote in favor of the Related Group's rezoning application is
a nullity as his debate and vote were made in direct contravention of the clear and unambiguous
language of Section 2-34(b) of the City Code. Accordingly, the City Commission's deliberation and
vote on the Related Group's rezoning application, in reality, resulted in a two to two (2-2) tie, and not
a three to two (3-2) approval as announced by the City Clerk. A two to two (2-2) tie vote is
tantamount to a denial of the application.
31 In view of Commissioner Gonzalez' failure to comply with Section 2-34(b) of the City
Code and the resulting tie vote and effective denial of the rezoning application on first reading, this
matter is closed.
Accordingly, pursuant to Section 2-34(b) of the Code of the City of Miami, I hereby request
that Commissioner Gonzalez' vote in favor of the Related Group's rezoning application be declared a
nullity as his debate and vote were made in direct contravention of the clear and unambiguous
language of Section 2-34(b) of the City Code and that the record reflect that the application fails as a
result of a two to two (2-2) tie vote.

WHEREAS, The G/I Government and Institutional Zoning District is designed to allow the
development of facilities for federal, state and local govemment activities and for institutional uses
such as major public and private health, recreational, religious, educational and cultural facilities; and
WHEREAS, the G/I zoning district also permits uses ancillary to these government and institutional

City of Miami Vision Statement: "To Be an International City which Embodies Diversity, Economic
Opportunity, Effective Customer Service and a Highly Rated Quality of Life"
COMMENTS:
The following comments represent the unified vision of the Pre -Application Design Review Committee, which
consists of all staff members in the Urban Design and Land Development Divisions. The City of Miami strives
to achieve diverse, pedestrian -friendly neighborhoods, promote transit connections, and provide safe and
comfortable buildings, streets, and parks that contribute to a prosperous city for all residents to enjoy.
Zoning
• The change of zoning of this property from G/I to R-4, combined additional FAR gained from bay
frontage and adjacent roads, results in a project density that is inappropriate for the existing
conditions of this area. The FAR bonuses in the application further exacerbate this situation. The
Planning Department feels that this project is out of scale with the area, and that if the applicant
chooses to rezone the property, it should be to a land use that is consistent with the adjacent
neighborhood, which is R-1 zoning.
• Please indicate how this project relates to the Mercy Hospital Master Plan.
• Contact the Zoning Department to confirm the use of Perimeter Road Area in the FAR calculations
for this project.
• It is critical that the applicant conduct a traffic study and meet with Mary Conway, Transportation
Director for the City of Miami regarding traffic circulation and access to the site. She may be
contacted at 305-416-1027.
Urban Design
• The north and west facades of the parking base front the Perimeter Road with a two-story blank wall,
which is an unacceptable pedestrian environment.
• The committee appreciates the integration of a baywalk into the site plan of this project. Ensure
public access to this baywalk. Furthermore, provide section details of the baywalk with dimensions.
Consider referring to the City of Miami Baywalk/Riverwalk Design Guidelines for ideas on further
developing this area.
Architecture
• Please include a dear indication of what type of materials are being proposed for all four elevations of
the building, including windows, balconies, and garage screening materials. This information can be
submitted as a labeled color rendering. Material samples and precedent photographs are encouraged.
• Provide additional details of all garage entrances and openings, including screening materials, and
entrance dimensions.
• Provide elevation drawing details, showing all of the building's elevations at the street level, at a scale
no less than 1 /8"=1', in order for the committee to review the building's impact on the pedestrian
realm. In particular, present the north and western facades of the parking base, and provide enlarged
elevation details of the public baywalk.
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.

ANALYSIS FOR ZONING CHANGE
3663 South Miami Avenue
FILE NO: 06-01060zc
Pursuant to Article 4, Section 401 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 property is a parcel located at 3363 S. Miami Avenue (complete legal
description on file with the Hearing Boards Office), from G/I "Government and
Institutional" to R-4 "Multifamily High -Density Residential.
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that the proposed zoning change encompasses the Southwestern boundary
of the Mercy Hospital property, currently being used as a surface parking lot for
employees, and it is also found that it is designated G/I "Government and
Institutional'.
• It is found that this change of zoning is in order to develop three residential towers
consisting of (300) residential units and 642 parking spaces project known as 300
Grove Bay Residences Major Use Special Permit ("MUSP").
• It is found that the requested change to R-4 "Multifamily High -Density Residential"
designation will allow greater flexibility in developing the proposed residential use at
the above described location and therefore should be changed as part of the MUSP.
• It is found that the requested zoning designation change is not consistent with the
underlying land use designation and therefore does require an amendment to the
Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the
change of zoning as a component of a Major Use Special Permit application.

PLANNING AND ZONING DEPARTMENT: Recommended approval.

PURPOSE: This will amend the G/I Government and Institutional District to
allow non-govemmental and institutional uses only if ancillary to the main
use.
Motion by Commissioner Winton, seconded by Commissioner Gonzalez, that this matter
be PASSED ON FIRST READING PASSED by the following vote.
Votes: Ayes: 4 - Commissioner Gonzalez, Winton, Sanchez and Regalado
Absent: 1 - Commissioner Teele
Lourdes Slazyk (Assistant Director, Planning & Zoning): OK. We're up to PZ.42 now. PZ.42 is
a text amendment to the Zoning Ordinance relating to the G/I, Government and Institutional
District. This is an amendment that would requirement when a government or institutional use
ceases to exist on a property, that that property would only then be able to be used as for the
most restrictive zoning around it. This is — we believe this is a very good ordinance. It offers
some protection to neighborhoods that have G/I zoning for things like schools, and churches and
other institutional public facility uses. This was recommended for approval by the Planning
Advisory Board and recommending for approval by the Planning & Zoning Department.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: This ordinance is first reading, requiring public hearing. Anyone from
the public wishing to be heard please step forward Seeing none, public hearing is closed
Commissioner Winton: Move it.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: There's a motion by Commissioner Winton.
Commissioner Gonzalez: Second.

Meeting Minutes July 22, 2004
Commissioner Winton: -- we have an item coming up, which is Ransom Everglades, part of the
battle about that G/I rezoning relates -- if you remember when we did the naval yard right up
here on Bayshore, and the developer could come in and build the biggest building that he could
think of building. This solves the problem. You can no longer build anything you want to build
just because it's government/institutional zoning, so if, by example, the School Board decided
they had a school that was obsolete, couldn't use it anymore, decided to bulldoze it, you could
build literally anything you wanted to build in this residential neighborhood, well this stops that
kind of nonsense, and now then you can only build whatever the --
Ms. Slazyk: It says only — I'll read it. "Only such uses as may be permitted as principle uses in
the least intense" --
Commissioner Winton: Least.
Ms. Slazyk: -- "abutting zoning district."
Commissioner Winton: Which might encourage some parkland development, so it's a fabulous
new tool.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: All right. City Attorney, read the ordinance.
The Ordinance was read by title into the public record by the Deputy City Attorney.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: Madam Clerk, roll call.
A roll call was taken, the result of which is stated above.
Sylvia Scheider (Assistant City Clerk): First reading passes, 4/0.
Commissioner Winton: Joel, were you waving at me a little while ago? You wanted to say
hello?
Joel Maxwell (Deputy City Attorney): You covered it well. Thank you, sir.
Ms. Slazyk: And actually, we had help from the community when we were phrasing that
ordinance, as it went through the PAB (Planning Advisory Board). There was a continuance at
PAB to help phrase it in a way that everybody was comfortable with, but just for the record, what
that ordinance does in a nutshell is, it says, if you have G/1(Government/Institution) zoned
property with a government or institutional use and it ceases to be used for that government or
institutional use, you can only use it according to the regulations of the most restrictive zoning
category that touches it, so it's protection.
Commissioner Winton: I hate to sound self-serving, but for those of you from the Grove, you
know, I've been in office for almost five years now, and I've never heard more shrill voices in the
Grove than I've heard since I was elected, and when I got elected, the Grove got absolutely
nothing; had received nothing for 20 or 30 years, and I've got to tell you, I think we've really
worked hard to try to make the changes as we find the changes to improve conditions over which
we had no control, and this Gil zoning thing is one of those examples where, you know, it got
identifteaa not that many months ago; we got it through the system, we're bringing it forwaraa
and doing those other kinds of things, and 1 hope those of you that are Grove leaders also would
get out there and get some of this information about what we're doing out into the community
and slow down some of these shrill voices that 1 don't -- I don't even know where they're coming
from; don't even know who these people are, so I need help. Sony, off the beaten track.
Carter McDowell: Commissioners, thank you very much. It's been a long road. We appreciate

your support and help in getting to this point. We look forward to our final hearing on Monday,
and then going to build this — the improvements for this wonderful institution for Coconut Grove
in the City of Miami.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: Thank you, and thanks to both sides. It really shows that even when
we don't agree with each other, we find ways to respect each other and find a compromise, and
really, at the end of the day, it just makes our community a better place, so thank each and every
one of you for your professionalism on this matter. It makes it much easier for us, especially
easier for Commissioner Winton.
Commissioner Winton: Yeah.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: All right. Moving right along. Go home. We'll be here until about 3
o'clock in the morning. I don't think so. We're going home at 9 tonight.

City of Miami Page 2 Printed on 3/22/2007
City Commission Meeting Minutes September 27, 2004
Ms. Slazyk: Yes.
Commissioner Winton: I think it's very important that you put on the record right now, so it's on
Net-9, a repeat of what we did last time, and that is explaining what's going on here because this
ordinance that we're passing solves a huge problem for a lot of people out there who are very
skeptical of the way we handle some Planning & Zoning items, particularly G/I zoning, so would
you put it on the record that we're curing what many people consider to be a major defect in our
Code, and we're curing it with this move.
Ms. Slazyk: Correct. We're — what we have is, throughout the city, we have G/I zoning
scattered in R-I and R-2 single-family, duplex and other residential districts. They're in those
districts because there's either schools or churches, or some other government or institutional
use. The big fear is that what happens when a school or church closes, and you've got this G/I
zoning in the middle of a neighborhood. G/I zoning is very similar to office zoning inthat it
allows some pretty substantial height and density. What this ordinance says is that once the G/I
property ceases to be used for school or church, it can only be used as per the least intense
abutting district. Therefore, if a church or a school goes away from a G/I zoned property in a
single-family neighborhood, the property may only be used for single-family use because that's
the least abutting -- least intense abutting district, so this is a major cure for our residential
districts, the fear of what G/I could bring.
Chairman Sanchez: All right. Before we vote on it, it's a public hearing. Anyone from the
public wishing to address this item, please step forward. Hearing none, seeing none, the public
hearing is dosed, and now we are prepared to vote. Mr. City Attorney, read the ordinance.
The Ordinance was read by title into the public record by the City Attorney.
Chairman Sanchez: Madam Clerk, roll call.
Priscilla A. Thompson (City Clerk): Roll call.
A roll call was taken, the result of which is stated above.
Ms. Thompson: The ordinance has been adopted on second reading, 4/0.

ANALYSIS FOR ZONING CHANGE
3663 South Miami Avenue
FILE NO: 06-01060zc
Pursuant to Article 4, Section 401 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 property is a parcel located at 3363 S. Miami Avenue {complete legal
description on file with the Hearing Boards Office), from Gil "Government and
Institutional" to R-4 "Multifamily High -Density Residential.
The follovi ing findings have been made:
• It is ftuni that the proposed zoning change encompasses the Southwestern boundary
of the Mercy Hospital property, currently being used as a surface parkine lot for
employees, and it is also found that it is designated Gil "Govemment and
Institutional".
• It is fsund that this change of zoning is in order to develop three residential tow
consisting of (300) residential units and 642 parking spaces project known
Grove Bay Residences Major Use Special Permit ("MUSP").
• It is found that the requested change to R-4 "Multifamily High -Density Residential"
designation will allow greater flexibility in developing the proposed residential use at
the above described location and therefore should be changed as part of the MUSP.
• It is found that the requested zoning designation change is not consistent with the
underlying land use designation and therefore does require an amendment to the
Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Plan.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the
change of zoning as a component of a Major ['se Special Permit application.

City of Miami Evaluation and Appraisal Report
Issue C. Neighborhood Integrity
The City of Miami is comprised of a series of neighborhoods with distinct histories,
socioeconomic characteristics, land uses, functions, development trends, and challenges.
The integrity of these existing neighborhoods is threatened by a number of factors,
including encroachment of incompatible land uses, the need for locally appropriate
development standards, unmet redevelopment and infrastructure needs, and slum and
blight conditions. Strategies to protect existing neighborhoods from incompatible
development and negative impacts need to be addressed in the MCNP.
Issue D. Transportation
Amenities need to be provided to attract more trips to alternative modes of transportation,
such as transit, pedestrian and bicycle. Transportation and land use needs to be
coordinated more closely, and transportation problems (excessive speeds, congestion,
traffic noise, inappropriate roadway classifications, negative impacts on neighborhoods)
need to be addressed. Many areas lack adequate parking. The person trip methodology
needs to be revisited to ensure that the results of the calculations accurately reflect the
capacity of corridors. Transportation Control Measures will be revised.
As per the requirements of S. 163.3191, Florida Statutes, this document includes an
analysis of these issues, their impacts, and corrective measures, including plan
amendments.

CHAPTER IV. RECOMMENDATIONS
The following Chapter includes a complete listing of the Evaluation and Appraisal Report
recommendations by Element. These recommendations are made as a result of the
evaluation and appraisal of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan that is
documented in Chapters I., II. and III. Please refer to these chapters for more information

A. Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan Recommendations
(Recommended New Goals, Objectives and Policies)
Recommendation MCNP-1. The use of school playgrounds and recreational facilities
for community recreation purposes, and of City parks to meet the recreational needs of
students, is an excellent strategy for increasing the recreational opportunities available to
City residents, visitors, and workers, and for reducing land requirements that might
otherwise prevent public schools from opening in a dense urban environment. It is
therefore recommended that objectives and policies calling for increasing the number of
joint park/school agreements between the City and Miami -Dade County Public Schools
be added to the Future Land Use, Parks, Recreation and Open Space, and
Intergovernmental Coordination Elements.
Recommendation MCNP-2. Add the Recreation and Open Space Element encouraging
landscaped pedestrian and bicycle linkages between existing and planned park sites,
where appropriate and feasible, and supporting the Miami River Commission and Trust
for Public Lands efforts to create a Miami River greenway.
Recommendation MCNP-3. Add objectives and policies to the Land Use and Natural
Resources Elements calling for protection of the City's tree canopy and significant trees
through the implementation of a tree protection ordinance.
B. Future Land Use Element Recommendations
Recommendation LU-1. Amend Goal LU-1 to remove the word "residential" before
"neighborhoods", and to call for protecting the integrity and quality of the City's existing
neighborhoods.
Recommendation LU-2. Amend Policy LU-1.1.3 to add that strategies to further
protect existing neighborhoods through the development of appropriate transition
standards and buffering requirements will be incorporated into the City's land
development regulations.
Recommendation LU-3. Amend Policy LU-1.1.4 to state that the City will continue
to aggressively address code violations in its neighborhoods through the implementation
of ongoing and new neighborhood improvement and code enforcement strategies and
initiatives.

PREFACE
This volume contains the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami and
constitutes the second professional codification and printing of the zoning reg-
ulations of the city. It is published as a companion volume to, and part of, the
1980 City Code, as authorized by section 3(mm), building and zoning, and (jj),
codification of ordinances, of the City Charter.
Source materials used in the preparation of this volume were the original
zoning ordinance, Ordinance 11000, adopted March 8, 1990, and all amend-
ments through Ordinance No. 10879, adopted April 25, 1991. A comprehensive
index has been prepared, and a frontal section analysis, listing major sections,
has also been provided.
A feature of this publication that is particularly useful is the comparative
table of amendments. Any amendatory ordinance will be listed by ordinance
number in this table, and the individual sections or subsections that were
amended will be indicated.
Looseleaf Supplements
As future supplements to this volume are published, each supplement will
contain an instruction sheet advising the user of the manner of inserting the
new pages and removing the obsolete pages. The table of amendments, as well
as the index, will also be updated with each supplement to reflect the new
legislation.
Acknowledgments

Raymond, Editor -Supplements, of the Municipal Code Corporation, Talla-
hassee, Florida. Credit is gratefully given to the other members of the pub-
lisher's staff for their sincere interest and able assistance throughout the project.
The publisher wishes to thank the members of the Planning Department
for their assistance in the publication process. It is hoped that their efforts and

a valuable tool in the day-to-day administration of the city's zoning regula-
tions.

ning Assistance Program authorized by Chapter 86.187, Laws of Florida.

Should the option for a high -end condominium project not materialize, the development team has an alternative
plan to utilize the parcel's existing G/I zoning designation to develop an assisted living facility, medical facility or some
combination of both. Interestingly, re -zoning to R-4 (residential) and construction needed for this condominium
development will actually translate into a project of lesser density than a medical facility.
Webelieve the community clearly should. and does have a voice as to what is built on that parcel. Choosing a low -
density residential project seems to be a prudent course of action, but we are neutral on how Related and Ocean
Land choose to develop the property.
