Interpretation of the Future Land Use Plan Map
The Future Land Use Plan Map is a planning instrument designed to guide the future development
and distribution of land uses within the city in a manner that is consistent with the goals, objectives
and policies of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP).
The Future Land Use Plan Map is a generalized map that does not depict areas of less than 2
acres. The Planning Director is responsible for making all determinations of concurrency as
defined in state statutes, and will also interpret the map based on all applicable state laws and
administrative regulations and on the consistency between the proposed change or changes and
the goals, objectives and policies expressed in the MCNP. The Planning Director will also
determine whether or not proposed zoning changes require an amendment to the comprehensive
plan.
Land development regulations and policies are to be consistent with the Future Land Use Plan
Map. The land development regulations further define and describe all requirements applicable to
zoning categories contained under each land use designation, permitting the treatment of new
development according to the particular conditions existing in different areas, and always
consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the MCNP, and specifically with the Land Use
Element and its Future Land Use Plan Map. The land use designations are general designations
that may include more than one zoning category. All activities and uses within each designation are
compatible with each other by virtue of their scale, intensity and character, or by additional
conditions required by the land development regulations, more specifically by the City Zoning
Ordinance, which describes special districts in order to achieve more definite goals and objectives.
The land use designations that appear in the Future Land Use Plan Map are arranged following the
"pyramid concept" of cumulative inclusion, whereby subsequent categories are inclusive of those
listed previously except as otherwise noted. These designations, and the uses allowed1 in them,
are defined as follows:
Conservation: This land use designation is restricted to environmentally sensitive areas that
are to be left in an essentially natural state. Only activities that reinforce this character are
allowed. Public access to these areas, including off-street parking, may be limited when
unregulated access may present a threat to wildlife and plant life within such areas.
Restricted Public Parks and Recreation: The primary intent of this land use classification
is to conserve the grccn spacc open space and green spaces of -a park while allowing
access and uses which will not interfere with the preservation of any significant
environmental features which may exist within the park. in question.
This land use designation allows only open space and park uses with limited recreational
uses up to a maximum Floor Area Ratio ("FAR") of 0.65 recreational and cultural uses where
the total building footprints may cover no more than 25% of the park land area. Such limited
recreational uses shall be permissible when deemed to be an integral part of a park's
character and whcn dccigncd and-; tegrated within the park in uch manner to
conserve the openness or green space of the park. Some of the recreational uses deemed to
be appropriate include naturc trails, intcrprctivc ccntcrs, picnic ar as, playgrounds, canoc
trails and launches, small concescion stands, restrooms, and other pascive recreational uses
whose scale and manner of operation are similar in nature to those described herein. Both

of —the park. Some of the recreational uses deemed to be appropriate include nature trails,
interpretive centers, picnic areas, playgrounds, canoe trails and launches, small concession
stands, restrooms, gyms, swimming pools, athletic fields, cultural facilities, marine and
marina facilities and other facilities supporting passive and active recreational and cultural
uses. -
Lands under this designation with specific qualities that make them desirable for commercial
photography shall be allowed to be used in this manner conditionally, and only when it is
determined that conducting such commercial photography will not endanger significant
environmental features within the area. [Added 3/23/99 by Ordinance 11782.]
Commercial Recreation: This land use designation only allows public parks and recreation
uses. Within parks, such recreation uses permit educational and cultural facilities such as
museums, art aalleries and exhibition space, and marine and marina facilities. Suelortin•

permissible provided that such activities and facilities are an integral part of the parks design
or of the recreational function privately -owned recreation uses open to the public or to private
groups.
Marine Facilities: This land use designation is intended to apply to waterfront properties
which are primarily public properties and intended to be developed and utilized in a manner
which will facilitate public access to waterfront activities. Permissible uses within this
designation include marine and marina facilities, marine stadiums, waterfront specialty
centers (including restaurants, cafes and retailing), recreational activities including water
theme parks, cultural, educational and entertainment facilities and accessory hotel
accommodations with maximum FAR limitations between the range of 0.65 to 1.72 and a
maximum density of 130 hotel units per acre; the higher FAR may be approved only upon
demonstration and finding that the application of the higher limitations will not adversely
affect access. Permanent living facilities are not permitted within this classification. [Added
3/23/99 by Ordinance 11782.]
Single Family Residential: Areas designated as "Single Family Residential" allow single
family structures of one dwelling unit each to a maximum density of 9 dwelling units per acre,
subject to the detailed provisions of the applicable land development regulations and the
maintenance of required levels of service for facilities and services included in the City's

Policy TR-1.1.2: The City of Miami originated and continues to utilize a person -trip
methodology for measurement of local level of service (LOS) on a transportation
facility, which may be a roadway, mass transit service, pedestrian way, bikeway, or
any other transportation mode alone or in combination with others. The Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (adopted as Ordinance 10544 on February 9,
1989) established under Policies TR 1.1.2 and TR 1.1.3 that within designated
Transportation Corridors, the capacity of all transportation modes will be used in the
measurement of future, peak hour level of service standards. The City of Miami
"Methodology for Calculating Peak Hour Person -Trip Capacity" was incorporated into
the Transportation Element of the MCNP under Policies TR 1.1.2 and TR 1.1.3 on

MethodologyThis technique calculates the total person -trip capacity of all
transportation modes utilizing a transportation facility against the total person -trip
demand for travel on that facility expressing the resulting ratio in letter grades LOS A
through LOS F in the same manner as used by the conventional vehicles -over-
capacity (V/C) methodology. The measurement of LOS is made for the peak period
(the average of the two highest consecutive hours of trip volume during a weekday),
where aR€1. an overall minimum peak -period LOS standard E (100 percent utilization
of person -trip capacity) will be maintained. Issuance of development orders for new
development or significant expansion of existing development shall be contingent upon
compliance with these LOS standards, subject to the modifications described in
subparagraphs 1.1.2.1 through 1.1.2.3 below, and any applicable provisions of the

Traffic Circulation — The minimum Aievel o service standard on limited access,
arterial, and collector roadways that are not within designated Transportation
Corridors is the peak period LOS E, with allowable exceptions and
justifications therefore, with LOS measured by conventional methodology
pursuant to Objective TR-1.1, Policy TR-1.1.1, Policy TR-1.1.2 and Policy TR-
1.1.3. The measurement of LOS is made for the peak period (which is the
average of the two hiqhest consecutive hours of trip volume durinq a
weekday). Within designated Transportation Corridors, which include
approximately 95% of the roadway mileage within the City of Miami, a
minimum peak period LOS E is also maintained, but the measurement
methodology is based on the peak hour period person -trips wherein the
capacities of all modes, including mass transit, are used in calculating the
LOS. An overall minimum peak -period LOS standard of E (100 percent
utilization of person -trip capacity) will be maintained on Transportation
Corridors. Specific levels of service by location and mode are set out in
Policies TR-1.1.2 (addressing transportation corridors) and TR-1.1.3
(addressing FIHS facilities) from of the Transportation eElement of the Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood PIanMCNP.

Policy CI-1.2.4: The latest point in the application process for determination of
concurrence shall be prior to the approval of an application for development order or
permit that contains a specific plan for development, including the densities and
intensities of development. Concurrence will be determined by the Planning
Department during the review of a Major Use Special Permit, rezoning, and special
permits and exceptions pursuant to the City's land development regulations.

The proposed Streets Bond is an integral component of the fund strategy for street improvements.
However, additional revenues need to be identified to comprehensively address the remaining unfunded
portions of the citywide street infrastructure as well as to develop a routine 25 year maintenance and
preservation cycle as is customary for public works infrastructure.
