Approximately 500 NW SOUTH RIVER DRIVE
Application No. 09-09
File ID 09-00817Iu
REQUEST
The proposal is for a change to the 2020 Future Land Use Map of the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan from "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" to "Restricted Commercial".
(A complete legal description is on file at the Hearing Boards Office).
FUTURE LAND USE
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) Policy LU-1.6.1 establishes future land use
categories according to the 2020 Future Land Use Map and the "Interpretation of the Future
Land Use Map."
Medium Density Multifamily Residential: Areas designated as "Medium Density Multifamily
Residential" allow residential structures to a maximum density of 65 dwelling units per acre,
subject to the detailed provisions of the applicable land development regulations and the main-
tenance 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 in-
cluding drug, alcohol or correctional rehabilitation facilities) will be allowed pursuant to applica-
ble state law; community -based residential facilities (15-50 clients) and day care centers for
children and adults may be permissible in suitable locations.
Permissible uses within medium density multifamily 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, subject to the detailed
provisions of applicable land development regulations and the maintenance of required levels of
service for such uses, places of worship, primary and secondary schools, and accessory post-
secondary educational facilities.
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 medium 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).
The "Restricted Commercial" designation allows residential uses (except rescue missions) to
a maximum density equivalent to "High Density Multifamily Residential" subject to the same li-
miting conditions and a finding by the Planning Director that the proposed site's proximity to
other residentially zoned property makes it a logical extension or continuation of existing resi-
dential development and that adequate services and amenities exist in the adjacent area to ac-
commodate the needs of potential residents; any activity included in the "Office" designation as
well as commercial activities that generally serve the daily retailing and service needs of the
1
public, typically requiring easy access by personal auto, and often located along arterial or col-
lector roadways, which include: general retailing, personal and professional services, real es-
tate, banking and other financial services, restaurants, saloons and cafes, general entertain-
ment facilities, private clubs and recreation facilities, major sports and exhibition or entertain-
ment facilities and other commercial activities whose scale and land use impacts are similar in
nature to those uses described above, places of worship, and primary and secondary schools.
This category also includes commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels as permissible.
The nonresidential portions of developments within areas designated as "Restricted Commer-
cial" that are not located within the Urban Central Business District or Regional Activity Center
allow a maximum floor area ratio (FAR) of 1.72 times the gross lot area of the subject property;
such FAR may be increased upon compliance with the detailed provisions of the applicable land
development regulations; however, may not exceed a total FAR of 3.0 times the gross lot area
of the subject property. Properties designated as "Restricted Commercial" within the Urban
Central Business District or Regional Activity Centers are allowed an FAR of 10.0 times the
gross lot area of the subject property.
All such uses and mixes of uses shall be 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.
DISCUSSION
The subject area consists of one triangle shape parcel comprising approximately 0.03 acres.
The parcel is located within the block bounded by NW South River Drive to the northeast, NW
9th Avenue to the west, and NW 5th Street to the south. The site is currently designated
"Medium Density Multifamily Residential". The subject site is in the Little Havana NET area.
ANALYSIS
The Planning Department is recommending APPROVAL of the application as presented
based on the following findings:
• A Change from Medium Density Residential Land Use to Restricted Commercial LU will
rectify a Scribner's error at the FLUM for the subject property.
• The property currently has a commercial structure located on it that has been there
since 1951.
• This action will allow a grand fathered commercial use to continue.
• A Restricted Commercial use for this property is consistent with the uses in the vicinity.
Currently commercial uses are located to the northeast. Medium density residential is
located to the southwest of the property.
• The property configuration, as well as the small size of the property (1409 sq ft), does
not lend itself to residential development.
• Land Use Goal LU-1:(3) encourages the city to promote and facilitate economic
development and the growth of job opportunities in the city. Allowing commercial
activities to occur on this site will facilitate the expansion of businesses creating more
opportunities for job creation.
2
• Land Use Objective LU-1.3 indicates the city will encourage commercial, office, and
industrial development within existing areas. Current activities at this location are
consistent with Restricted Commercial uses.
• Land Use Goal LU-1 (5) promotes the efficient use of land and minimizes land use
conflicts. A change to Restricted Commercial is a logical extension of that category at
this location and would minimize the conflict of having a commercial use with a "Medium
Density Multifamily Residential" designation.
• 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.
These findings support the position that the Future Land Use Map at this location should be
changed.

ASSUMPTIONS AND COMMENTS
Population Increment is assumed to be all new residents. Peak -period trip
generation is based on ITE Trip Generation, 5th Edition at 1.4 ppv average
occupancy for private passenger vehicles. Transportation Corridor capacities and
LOS are from Table PT-2(R1), Transportation Corridors report.
Potable water and wastewater transmission capacities are in accordance with
Metro -Dade County stated capacities and are assumed correct. Service
connections to water and sewer mains are assumed to be of adequate size; if not,
new connections are to be installed at owner's expense.
Recreation/Open Space acreage requirements are assumed with proposed
change made.
