ANALYSIS FOR
ALLEY CLOSURE
Request: 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.
Project: Closing, vacating, abandoning and discontinuing for public use alleys
Location: NORTH/SOUTH AND EAST/WEST ALLEYS LOCATED BETWEEN NORTH
MIAMI AVENUE AND NW MIAMI COURT FROM NW 20TH STREET TO
APPROXIMATELY 215 FEET NORTH OF NW 20TH STREET, MIAMI, FLORIDA
Net District: Wynwood / Edgewater
Folio #: N/A Square footage: N/A
Current Zoning Designation: N/A
FINDINGS AND COMMENTS:
1. The current alleys are very narrow and vehicular access is not available. A replacement
alley is being dedicated by this plat that is wider than the existing alleys and will provide
improved access. The alleys are currently not being used for its intended purpose and
presents security and illicit activity problems. The closure of the current alleys, creation
of a wider alley between North Miami Avenue and NW Miami Court and unification of the
site will enable a modern, clean recycling/processing plant to be constructed and reduce
the amount of material otherwise deposited in landfills.
2. The existing alleys are too narrow for vehicular access by police, fire, emergency
vehicles or the general public.
3. There are three street frontages to this property and emergency vehicle access will not
be negatively affected by the alley closures.
4. A wider alley will be provided between North Miami Avenue and NW Miami Court that
better accommodates vehicular and pedestrians and maintains the continuity of the grid .
5. The Plat and Street Committee members voted to recommend 6 in favor and 0 in denial
of these alley closure requests.
