VOS MARLON J. WEISS LAURA K. WENDELL* JAMES E. WHITE DEREK R. YOUNG Our fern represents The District Board of Trustees of Miami Dade Community College (the "College") in connection with the captioned matter. The College is the owner of certain properties located between SW 25th and 27th Avenue and bounded by SW 5th and 6th Streets as depicted on the attached boundary survey (the "Property"). The Property is 1.43 acres in size and is comprised of two parcels as described as follows: PARCEL A: Ms. Teresita Fernandez August 10, 2009 Page 2 Address unassigned 2508 SW 5 Street 2524 SW 5 Street 2534 SW 5 Street 2538 SW 5 Street 2590 SW 5 Street 2600 SW 5 Street 2610 SW 5 Street 2620 SW 5 Street PARCEL B: Address unassigned unassigned Folio # 01-4103-037-0280 01.4103.037-0281 01.4103-037-0290 01-4103-037-0300 01-4103-037-0310 01-4103-03/-0320 01-4103-037-0330 01-4103-037-0340 01-4103-037-0350 Lot# Lots 34 & 35 less W6OFT W6OFT of Lots 34 & 35 Lot36 Lot37 Lot38 Lot 39 Lot 40 Lot 41 Lot 42 Current Zoning R-1 R-1 R-1 R-1 R-1 R-1 R-1 R-1 R-1 Current Plan Designation Single Family Residential Single Family Residential Single Family Residential Single Family Residential Single Family Residential Single Family Residential Single Family Residential Single Family Residential Single Family Residential Folio Lot # Current Zoning 01-4103-037-0430 W6OFT OF LOTS 54 & 55 R-2 01-4103-037-0431 LOTS 54 & 55 LESS W6OFT R-2 Current Plan Designation Duplex Residential Duplex Residential Please see the attached Exhibit "A" showing a complete list of properties which are the subject of these applications including the current and proposed land use and zoning change requests as well as a boundary survey showing the lots comprising each parcel. On September 8, 2008, the College submitted applications in order to amend the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (the "Plan") designation for the Property to Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities and rezone the Property to G/I Government/Institutional. After public hearings in front of the Planning Advisory Board, Zoning Board and City Commission as well as discussions with neighbors and City staff, the College would like to amend the applications as follows: 1. Comprehensive Plan Amendment The College wishes to withdraw the comprehensive plan amendment request as it relates to PARCEL A. The Plan designation for PARCEL A will remain Single Family Residential. However, the College wishes to keep the original request for PARCEL B which is to amend the Plan designation from Duplex Residential to Major Institutions, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities. 2. Zoning Change The College now wishes to rezone PARCEL A from R-1 to R-1 with an SD-12 Special Buffer Overlay District, The request for PARCEL B is to rezone from R-2 to G/I which is the same as in the original request. 3. Special`Exception WEISS SEROTA HELFMAN J.ASTORIZA COLE & BONISKE, P.L. Ms. Teresita Fermindez August 10, 2009 Page 3 In addition to the amendments to the current applications as outlined herein, the College seeks a Special E>;.ception as per Section 612 of the City of Miami Zoning Code (the "Code") in order to allow surface parking in the SD-12 District. Such parking area will serve as overflow parking for the existing College. Since a Special Exception is only required for lots having the SD-12 Special Buffer Overlay District, the Special Exception applies to PARCEL A. Vehicular access to PARCEL A will occur through PARCEL B to the South. hi other words, there will be no vehicular access to PARCEL A from SW 5th Street. As part of this amended request we are enclosing a revised public hearing application for an amendment to the zoning atlas and/or overlay district, a revised public hearing application for an amendment to the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, and a new a revised public hearing application for a Special Exception. Together these approvals will allow parking to occur on the Property, a use which is consistent with the proposed zoning and land use designations for both PARCEL A and PARCEL B. This parking facility will accommodate the parking needs of the College as it continues to lead the country as the largest and most diverse college in the nation. Please schedule the rezoning and special exception applications before the Zoning Board as soon as possible. The comprehensive plan amendment affecting PARCEL B need not go to the Planning Advisory Board since the Planning Advisory Board already heard the comprehensive plan amendment request and recommended approval with conditions at their March 18, 2009 meeting. We look forward to your favorable review of this application. Please call me if you have any questions or ifyou require further information in order to process this request.
