Re: Recommendation for Approval of October 21, 2004 City
Commission Agenda Items PZ-1 & PZ-2
Dear Commissioner Regalado:
This letter serves as the Miami River Commission's (MRC) "official
statement" to all City Commissioners, requested in City Resolution 00-
320, regarding October 28, 2004 City Commission agenda items PZ-1 &
PZ-2, which impact the Miami River.
On September 13, 2004, Ms. Gloria Velazquez, Greenberg
Traurig, and Mr. Michael Proto presented "Reflections on the River",
which would require a land use and zoning amendment from Marine
Industrial (SD-4) to Commercial with an SD-7 Zoning overlay, located
at 201-261 SW 6 ST. The MRC unanimously found the proposal to be
consistent with the award winning Miami River Corridor Urban Infill
Plan 's recommendations for this "lower river" section, located to the
east of I-95. In addition, the MRC unanimously found the proposal to
be consistent with the Miami River Greenway Action Plan, in that it
provides a publicly accessible riverwalk, with a minimum width of 20
feet, consisting of a minimum 16-foot wide unobstructed pedestrian
path, an additional 4-feet of landscaping, lighting and other amenities,
the development is set -back 50-feet from the shoreline and features an
`on -road' greenway section along SW 6 ST.
Sincerely,
Irela Bague
Chair,
Miami River Commission
