ANALYSIS Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP' The application requires a corresponding Future and Use Map (FLUM) amendment. Pursuant to the adopted Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the MCNP, the Property is designated "Medium Density Multifamily Residential". This designation allows a maximum Density of 65 dwelling units per acre (65 DU/AC) and allows to serve the retailing and personal services needs of the building or building complex, small scale limited commercial uses as accessory uses, places of worship, primary and secondary schools, and accessory post -secondary educational facilities. Per the Correspondence Table — Zoning and Comprehensive Plan of the FLUM, the requested change of zoning from "T5-R" Urban Center Transect Zone — Restricted to "T5-O" Urban Center Transect Zone - Open is inconsistent with the Property's existing Future Land Use (FLU); as such, a companion FLUM amendment from "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" to "Restricted Commercial"" is being processed concurrently under ePlan File ID No. PZ-23-16881. The existing FLU is consistent with the existing zoning, and the proposed FLU is consistent with the proposed zoning.
