Approximately 3400 Grand Avenue
File ID 12-011151u
REQUEST
The proposal is for a change to the Future Land Use Map of the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan from "Restricted Commercial" to "Public Parks and Recreation". (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 established future land use
categories according to the 2020 Future Land Use Map and the "Interpretation of the Future
Land Use Map."
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; transitory residential facilities such as hotels and
motels. This category also allows general office use; clinics and laboratories, auditoriums, libra-
ries, convention facilities, places of worship, and primary and secondary schools. Also allowed
are commercial activities that generally serve the daily retailing and service needs of the public,
typically requiring easy access by personal auto, and often located along arterial or collector
roadways, which include: general retailing, personal and professional services, real estate,
banking and other financial services, restaurants, saloons and cafes, general entertainment fa-
cilities, private clubs and recreation facilities, major sports and exhibition or entertainment facili-
ties and other commercial activities whose scale and land use impacts are similar in nature to
those uses described above. This category also includes commercial marinas and living quar-
ters on vessels as permissible.
The nonresidential portions of developments within areas designated as "Restricted Commer-
cial" allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 7.0 times the net lot area of the subject property;
such FLR may be increased upon compliance with the detailed provisions of the applicable land
development regulations; however, may not exceed a total FLR of 11.0 times the net lot area of
the subject property. Properties designated as "Restricted Commercial" in the Edgewater Area
allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 17.0 times the net lot area of the subject property.
Properties designated as "Restricted Commercial" in the Urban Central Business District and
Buena Vista Yards Regional Activity Center allows a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 37.0 times
the net 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.
Nonresidential floor area is the floor area that supports nonresidential uses within the inside pe-
rimeter of the outside walls of the building including hallways, stairs, closets, thickness of walls,
columns and other features, and parking and loading areas, and excluding only open air corri-
dors, porches, balconies and roof areas.

The "Public Parks and Recreation" designation's primary intent is to conserve open space
and green spaces of a park while allowing access and uses which will not interfere with the pre-
servation of any significant environmental features which may exist within the park.
This land use designation allows only open space and park uses with recreational and cultural
uses where the total building footprints may cover no more than 25% of the park land area.
Both passive and active recreational uses shall be permitted including but not limited to nature
trails, interpretive centers, picnic areas, playgrounds, canoe trails and launches, small conces-
sion stands, restrooms, gyms, swimming pools, athletic fields, cultural facilities, marine and ma-
rina facilities and other facilities supporting passive and active recreational and cultural uses.
Lands under this designation with specific qualities that make them desirable for commercial
photography shall be allowed to be used in this manner conditionally, and only when it is deter-
mined that conducting such commercial photography will not endanger significant environmen-
tal features within the area.
DISCUSSION
The subject area consists of one parcel comprising approximately 0.17 acres of land. This
parcel is located on the northeast corner of the block bounded by Grand Avenue to the north,
Hibiscus Street to the west, Thomas Avenue to the south, and Elizabeth Street to the east. The
site and the surrounding parcels to the north, south, east, and west along the Grand Avenue
corridor are designated "Restricted Commercial". "Single Family Residential" is located to the
southeast. The subject site is in the COCONUT GROVE NET Service Center Area.
ANALYSIS
The Planning Department is recommending APPROVAL of the application as presented
based on the following findings:
• The site currently operates as the "City of Miami Billie Rolle Domino Park".
• Objective PR-1.1 states that the City shall work to achieve a medium -term objective of
providing a park within one-half mile of every resident and to achieve a long-term objective
of a park within one -quarter mile of every resident. This amendment will ensure that the
existing park will not convert to other uses, thus assisting in the maintenance of this
objective.
• The "Public Parks and Recreation" designation is compatible with residential and
commercial uses of all densities and intensities.
• MCNP Land Use Goal LU-1(1) encourages a land use pattern that protects and enhances
the quality of life in the city's residential neighborhoods and (5) promotes the efficient use
of land and minimizes land use conflicts. This amendment will enhance the quality of life in
the surrounding residential neighborhoods by ensuring that the land does not convert to
residential uses.
2
• 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. This Future Land Use amendment will assist in
appropriately determining the Parks and Open Space LOS requirements while reducing the
potential for peak -hour vehicle trips.
• Because this proposal is reducing the potential for residential density to "0" dwelling units
per acre, a school concurrency analysis is not required.
• Policy PR-2.1.1 establishes that the City has a no -net -loss policy for public park land and
will adopt procedures to this effect for park land in the City Zoning Ordinances, as described
in the 2007 Parks and Public Spaces Master Plan. These will allow only recreation and
cultural facilities to be built on park land, will limit building footprint on any such land, will
require that conversion of park land for any other purposes be subject to public procedures,
and replace the converted park land with land similar in park, recreation or conservation
value in terms of usefulness and location. This amendment will support this policy by
protecting approximately 0.17 acres of park land.
• The Miami 21 zoning designation currently approved on the site is T5-O — "Urban Center".
The proposed designation will be CS — "Civic Space".
These findings support the position that the Future Land Use Map at this location and for this
neighborhood should be changed.
