FILE NO: 06-02234ze
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:
201 and 243 NW South River Drive (complete legal description on file with the
Hearing Boards Office), from SD-4 "Waterfront Industrial" to C®2 "Liberal
Commercial".
The following Findings have been made:
• It is found that immediately adjacent to the west, the area is designated R-4 "Multi -
Family High -Density Residential" and to the north and south, the area is designated
SD-4 "Waterfront Industrial". Across the river there is a C-2 "Liberal Commercial"
zoning designation.
• It is found that this change of zoning is in order to develop a mixed uses project
known as River's Edge Major Use Special Permit ("MIJSP)..
9 It is found that this application is in order to bring development to the Miami River as
it approaches Downtown Miami.
• It is found that the requested change to C-2 "Liberal Commercial" will allow greater
flexibility in developing mixed uses for this portion of the river.
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 as
presented.
