58-64-66-70 NW 36th Court
CASE NO: 07-01024ze
Pursuant to Article 4, Section 401 and Article 22 of Ordinance 11000, as amended, the
Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, the subject proposal has been re. iiewed
for an amendment to the Zoning Atlas as follows:
The request is to change the Zoning designation as follows
The subject property is comprised of lots 9 through 20 with lots 9 through 12 are
bordered on South by NW Flagler Terrace and North by NW lit Street and lots 13
through 20 are bordered on the South by NW Flagler Terrace, East by NW 36
Court, and North by NW 1'` Street (A complete legal description is on file at the
Hearing Boards Office) from R-2 "Two -Family Residential" to C-1 "Restricted
Commercial".
The following findings have been made:
It is found that the character of NW 36th Court is residential, specifically R-2
"Two -Family Residential".
• It is found that a zoning change at this location may set a negative precedent and
create a "domino effect" in regards to future zoning change applications.
• It is found that the requested change will represent an intrusion of commercial uses
into a low density residential neighborhood.
• It is found that the R-2 "Two -Family Residential" designation allows 18 residential
units per acre and the requested C-1 "Restricted Commercial" designation will allow
a maximum density of 150 residential units per acre.
• It is found that the Planning Advisory Board at its October 3, 2007 meeting
recommended denial of the land use change request from "Two -Family Residential"
to "Restricted Commercial".
Based on these findings, the Planning Department is recommending denial of the
application as presented.
