Case No. 2011- 00318sc
CLOSING, VACATING, ABANDONING AND DISCONTINUING FOR PUBLIC USE THAT
PORTION OF A STREET LOCATED ALONG THE WEST SIDE OF NORTHEAST 2ND
AVENUE BETWEEN NORTHEAST 38TH STREET AND NORTHEAST 39TH STREET.
Pursuant to Section 55-15 (c) of the Miami City Code, the Planning Department has
reviewed the proposed public right-of-way vacation and closure to determine whether it
is in the public interest, or whether the general public would benefit from the vacation of
the right-of-way.
The following findings have been made:
• It is found that this application was presented to the Plat and Street Committee and
was denied with a vote of 0 in favor and 9 in denial.
• It is found that N.E. 1 Court is currently utilized for vehicular and pedestrian access
throughout the design district.
• It is found that N.E. 1 Court is used for access and parking. The roadway is fully
utilized by Police, Fire and other emergency vehicles. The roadway serves as an
optional route for Fire -Rescue vehicles to shorten response time.
• The proposed development is tentative and continuing to utilize the existing
buildings are better served with the existing roadway remaining open.
• It is found that the property owner has failed to demonstrate any public benefits that
would be provided as result of the proposed street vacation.
Based on these findings, the Planning Department recommends denial of the
request.
