Analysis:
• The Planning Department is recommending APPROVAL of the application as presented
based on the following findings:
• It is found that the addition of the SD-16.3 is completely within the intent of the existing
SD-16, SD-16.1, SD-16.2 in the area
• It is found that the addition of the "SD-16.3 Miami Worldcenter " will allow for greater
flexibility for development and redevelopment of the subject properties.
• It is found that the proposed "SD-16.3 Miami Worldcenter" is compact, pedestrian, and
mixed -use oriented. Increased intensity of use is encouraged due to the proximity of
current and proposed transit services and appropriate building densities and land uses
should occur within walking distance of transit stops.
• It is found that maintaining the future growth of downtown infill redevelopment ensures
Miami's focus for the region's economic, civic, and cultural activities.
• It is found that a diversity of uses distributed throughout the SD-16 District which enables a
variety of economic activity, workplace, residences and civic space. Civic and commercial
activity should be embedded in the mixed -use District.
• Civic and public gathering spaces should be located to reinforce community identity.
• It is found that the set of regulations proposed in "SD-16.3 Miami Worldcenter" promotes
buildings and landscaping that contributes to the physical definition of thoroughfares as
civic places.
• It is found that the proposed "SD-16.3 Miami Worldcenter" includes a framework of transit
and pedestrian systems that accommodates automobiles while respecting the pedestrian
realm.
• It is found that by ensuring that private development contributes to infrastructure and
embellishes a pedestrian and transit friendly public and private realm of the highest
quality, the city will be able to benefit greatly.
These findings support the position that the addition of the SD-16.3 in this neighborhood will be
consistent with the intent of the existing SD-16.
