Application No. LU-08-02

REQUEST
The proposal is for a change to the Future Land Use Map of the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan from "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" to "Restricted Commercial.
(A complete legal description is on file at the Hearing Boards Office).
FUTURE LAND USE
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) Policy LU-1.6.1 established future land use
categories according to the Future Land Use Plan Map and the "Interpretation of the Future
Land Use Plan Map."
The "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" designation allows residential structures to a
maximum density of 65 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 adopted concurrency management requirements.
Supporting services such as community -based residential facilities (14 clients or less, not
including drug, alcohol or correctional rehabilitation facilities) will be allowed pursuant to
applicable state law; community -based residential facilities (15-50 clients) and day care centers
for children and adults may be permissible in suitable locations.
Permissible uses within medium density multifamily areas also include commercial activities that
are intended to serve the retailing and personal services needs of the building or building
complex, small scale limited commercial uses as accessory uses, subject to the detailed
provisions of applicable land development regulations and the maintenance of required levels of
service for such uses, places of worship, primary and secondary schools, and accessory post-
secondary educational facilities.
Professional offices, tourist and guest homes, museums, and private clubs or lodges are
allowed only in contributing structures within historic sites or historic districts that have been
designated by the Historical and Environmental Preservation Board and are in suitable locations
within medium density multifamily residential areas, pursuant to applicable land development
regulations and the maintenance of required levels of service for such uses. Density and
intensity limitations for said uses shall be restricted to those of the contributing structure(s).
The Restricted Commercial areas allow residential uses (excepting rescue missions) to a
maximum density equivalent to "High Density Multifamily Residential" subject to the same
limiting conditions; any activity included in the "Office" designation as well as commercial
activities that generally serve the daily retailing and service needs of the public, typically
requiring easy access by personal auto, and often located along arterial or collector roadways,
which include: general retailing, personal and professional services, real estate, banking and
other financial services, restaurants, saloons and cafes, general entertainment facilities, private
clubs and recreation facilities, major sports and exhibition or entertainment facilities and other
commercial activities whose scale and land use impacts are similar in nature to those uses
described above, places of worship, and primary and secondary schools. This category also
includes commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels as permissible
DISCUSSION
The subject area consists of a property located in the south half of the block fronting SW 7th
Street, to the east SW 29th Avenue, to the south SW 81n Street, and to the west, SW 27`''
Avenue. The property comprises approximately 0.16 acres.
The site is currently designated "Medium Density Multifamily Residential". The subject site is
also "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" land use to the west. To the east and south is a
Restricted Commercial land use. North of the site is Duplex Residential. The subject site is in
the West Flagler NET area.
ANALYSIS
The Planning Department is recommending DENIAL of the application as presented
based on the following findings:
The parcel is part of a low to medium residential neighborhood.
• The requested change will represent an intrusion of commercial uses into a low to medium
density residential neighborhood.
• A land use change at this location may set a negative precedent and create a "domino
effect' in regards to future land use change applications.
• The "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" land use category allows residential struc-
tures to a maximum density of 65 dwelling units per acre. The requested "Restricted Com-
mercial " designation allows to a maximum density equivalent to "High Density Multifamily
Residential" or to 150 dwelling units per acre. This potential increase in residential density
will be out of scale with the established neighborhood.
• MCNP Land Use Goal LU-1(1) encourages a land use pattern that protects and enhances
the quality of life in the city's residential neighborhoods, and (5) promotes the efficient use of
land and minimizes land use conflicts. A change to Restricted Commercial is not a logical
extension of that category.
• MCNP Land Use Policy LU-1.1.3 (1) provides for the protection of all areas of the city from
the encroachment of incompatible land uses; and (2) the adverse impacts of future land
uses in adjacent areas that disrupt or degrade public health and safety.
• MCNP Housing Policy HO-1.1.7, states the City will continue to control, through restrictions
in the City's development regulations, large scale and/or intense commercial and industrial
land development which may negatively impact any residential neighborhood.
• MCNP Housing Policy HO-1.1.8 states that through land development regulations, the City
will protect and enhance existing viable neighborhoods in those areas suitable for housing.
• MCNP Land Use Policy 1.1.1 provides that new development or redevelopment that results
in an increase in density or intensity of land use shall be contingent upon availability of
public facilities and services that meet or exceed the minimum LOS standards adopted in
the Capital Improvement Element.
These findings support the position that the Future Land Use Map at this location should not be
changed.

NOTES
1. Permit for sanitary sewer connection must be issued by
Metro -Dade Water and Sewer Authority Department (WASA).
I Excess capacity, if any, is currently not known
Areas designated as Restricted Commercial eilow a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of
1.72 limes the gross lot area of the subject property; such FAR may be increased upon
compliance with the detailed provisions of the applicable land development regulations:
however, may not exceed a total FAR of 3.0 times the gross lot area of the subject property.
Areas designated es "Restricted Commercial" in the Urban Central ausiness Distncl are
exempt from this FAR limitation and are allowed unlimited FAR.

ASSUMPTIONS AND COMMENTS
Population increment is assumed to be all new residents. Peak -period trip
generation is based on ITE Trip Generation, 5th Edition at 1.4 ppv average
occupancy for private passenger vehicles, Transportation Corridor capacities and
LOS are from Table PT-2(R1), Transportation Corridors report.
Potable water and wastewater franSr0iSSi0n capacities are in accordance with
Metro -Dade County stated capacities and are assumed correct. Service
connections to water and sewer mains are assumed to be of adequate size: if not,
new connections are to be installed at owners expense-
Recreation/Open Space acreage requirements are assumed with proposed
change made.
