ANALYSIS FOR
FUTURE LAND USE MAP CHANGE
PROJECT ADDRESS: 2900 South Miami Ave., 2890, 2900, 2920, 2940 and
2960 South Federal Highway
FILE ID: 14-007291u
APPLICANT: Jorge Navarro, on behalf of Southeastern Investment Group Corp (the "Owner")
COMMISSION DISTRICT: District 2 NET OFFICE: North/East Coconut Grove
LAND USE DESIGNATION: Single -Family Residential
REQUEST
The proposal is for a change to the Future Land Use Map of the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan designation of six (6) properties fronting South Federal Highway from "Single
Family Residential" to "Low Density Multifamily Residential".
A complete legal description of the properties 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 2020 Future Land Use Map and the "Interpretation of the Future Land
Use Map."
The "Single Family Residential" future land use category allows single family structures of one
(1) dwelling unit each to a maximum density of nine (9) 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 foster homes and family day care homes for children and/or adults;
and community based residential facilities six (6) clients or less, not including drug, alcohol or
correctional rehabilitation facilities also will be allowed pursuant to applicable state law. Places of
worship, primary and secondary schools, child day care centers and adult day care centers are
permissible in suitable locations within single family residential areas.
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 single
family 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 "Low Density Multifamily Residential" designation allows residential structures to a
maximum density of 36 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; day care centers for children and adults may be permissible in suitable
locations.
Permissible uses within low density multifamily residential 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; and places of worship, primary
and secondary schools, and accessory post -secondary educational facilities; all of which are
subject to the detailed provisions of applicable land development regulations and the maintenance
of required levels of service for such uses.
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 low
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).
HISTORY
This request for a change to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) was originally heard by the
Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board (PZAB) on December 17, 2014, as a companion item to a
Change of Zoning (File ID # 14-00729zc). After the PZAB public hearing, the items were schedule
before the City Commission for deliberation with the Planning and Zoning Department and PZAB
recommendation for denial.
At its meeting on April 23, 2015, the City Commission was informed that the applicant had revised
the original proposal through a restrictive covenant and proposed site plan to address the
concerns of the department and surrounding property owners. As such, the City Commission
remanded this case to the Planning Zoning, and Appeals Board to be reconsidered at the light of
the new changes, with a revised staff report that analyzed the new restrictive covenant and plans
submitted by the applicant.
DISCUSSION
The subject area consists of six parcels comprising approximately 1.3 acres. The parcels are
located on the south side of South Federal Highway within the block bounded by South Miami
Avenue on the east and SW 30th Road on the west. The site and the areas to the south, east,
and west are designated "Single Family Residential". To the north, across from South Federal
Highway, are paved expressways and ramps (1-95 North and South), as well as landscaped
areas, and "Single Family Residential" dwelling units. The four western subject parcels currently
have single family units while the eastern two parcels are undeveloped open space.
Of note is that the subject properties are all within a "Moderate Probability" Archaeological
Conservation Zone with the eastern most property located adjacent to a "Scenic Transportation

• The existing character and density of the site and surrounding area are currently
consistent with Single Family Residential. The proposed designation although "Low
Density Multifamily Residential" more closely resembles "Duplex Residential". This is
deemed as an appropriate transition for the area.
• The MCNP Interpretation of the 2020 Future Land Use Map section indicates that the
"Single Family Residential" designation permits nine (9) dwelling units per acre and the
"Low Density Multifamily Residential" future land use designation allows residential uses
to a maximum density of 36 dwelling units per acre. Currently there are four dwelling units
on the subject properties. This proposed designation would allow for approximately 47
dwelling units, which are out of scale, density, and character with the established
neighborhood. However, with the proposed revised covenant by the applicant,
development will limited to 18 dwelling units; which is lower intensity than allowed by the
requested new land use classification. This creates an appropriate transition and buffer
which is closer to the "Duplex Residential" than "Low Density Multifamily Residential.

• Without the revised restrictive covenant with amendments proposed by staff, a land use
change at this location may have set a negative precedent in regards to future land use
change applications throughout this single family neighborhood, changing the character
of the neighborhood. However, the restricted covenant creates an appropriate transition
and buffer which is closer to the "Duplex Residential" than "Low Density Multifamily
Residential".
• Land Use Policy LU-1.1.3 provides for the protection of all areas of the city from (1) the
encroachment of incompatible land uses; (2) the adverse impacts of future land uses in
adjacent areas that disrupt or degrade public health and safety, or natural or manmade
amenities; and (4) degradation of public open space, environment, and ecology. With the
restrictive covenant proffered by the applicant, the proposed change is within the density
and height as it pertains to this existing single family neighborhood. The site contains an
"Environmental Preservation District" to the east, however per the restrictive covenant, a
portion will be left undeveloped as open space.
• 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. The proposed change is within the development pattern and scale of the
neighborhood as it will be closer to a "Duplex Residential" density. The applicant has
proffered a restrictive covenant that limits the density and scale of future development in
the number of units and height.
• 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. While area is a well -established single family neighborhood, it is located on a
busy thoroughfare. While the zoning ordinance, Miami 21, designates this area as part of
the "Neighborhood Conservation District, (NCD-3), within Coconut Grove. Appendix A.3.6
of the Zoning Code states that the single family residential district is intended to protect
the low density residential and dominant tree canopy characteristics of Coconut Grove
and prevent the intrusion of additional density, uses, and height. The proposed
designation is not contrary to this Development Regulation as the proposal has proffered
a restricted covenant to reduce the maximum number of units to 18 and height of future
development.
• The 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. See concurrency analyses.

• Natural Resource Objective and Policy NR-1.3 and NR-1.3.3, states the City will maintain
and enhance the status of native species of fauna and flora by continuing to designate
private properties with significant or unique resources as "Environmental Preservation
Districts (EPD)". The eastern most property of this application is an "EPD". Policy NR-
1.3.4: states that the City will review development and redevelopment to determine any
adverse impacts on adjacent areas with significant native vegetative features, wildlife or
marine life, and establish regulations that reduce or mitigate such impacts. The approval
of this proposed designation will have limited impacts on this "EPD", the applicant will have
to abide by the requirements of the EPD and has also per a restricted covenant proposed
to leave a portion of this area unimproved as an "open space" area.
• The analysis is based on a proposed project as the applicant has provided a restrictive
covenant and corresponding plan. As such, the highest potential use is not being
considered.
RECOMMENDATION
The proposed change is within the development pattern and scale of the neighborhood as it will
be closer to a Duplex Residential density as the applicant has proffered a restrictive covenant that
limits the density and scale of future development. These analysis supports the position that the
Future Land Use Map at this location and for this neighborhood should be changed to the
proposed designation.
Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Department is recommending APPROVAL
of the amendment from "Single -Family Residential" to the proposed designation of "Low Density
Multifamily Residential" as presented, with the restrictive covenant proposed by the applicant with
the modifications proposed by staff.
