Approx. 296 SW 7th Street
CASE NO: 06-02074v
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 a Variance to allow an
increase from 40% to 50°/0 of the maximum allowed footprint as follows:
Variance for building footprint: Allowed - 8,750 s.f.
Proposed - 10,998 s.f.
Requested to waive - 2,248 s.f
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that the subject property faces two streets and a dedication for right-of-way
purposes on SW 3`d Avenue is imposed by the Public Work Department. In order to
comply with the required 10 feet setback and the required footprint, the applicant will
have to cut into the river rock wall located along the edge of the property.
• It is found that in order to preserve the natural river rock located along the property,
the requested variance is needed.
• It is found that the requested increase of building footprint will not result in an over-
building of the subject property and will not have an overall adverse impact on the
neighborhood and adjacent properties.
• lt is found that there is hardship to justify the requested variance.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending approval of the
application as presented.
