Case No. 2012- 01263ac
CLOSING, VACATING, ABANDONING AND DISCONTINUING FOR PUBLIC USE AN ALLEY
LOCATED BETWEEN SOUTHWEST 42ND AVENUE, SOUTHWEST 7TH STREET,
SOUTHWEST 43RD AVENUE AND SOUTHWEST 8TH STREET, MIAMI.
Pursuant to Section 55-15 (c) of the Miami City Code, the Planning Department has
reviewed the proposed public right-of-way vacation and closure to determine whether it
is in the public interest, or whether the general public would benefit from the vacation of
the right-of-way.
The following findings have been made:
• The existing alley is discontinuous and only serves the Anthony Abraham Tract
property. The proposed closure of the alley will create a unified site for the already
existing auto car dealer. New development on the property will comply with Miami 21
regulations for public amenities on the ground level. A Zoning Covenant on the
property requires a 20 foot wide landscaped buffer strip along the entire north side of
the property.
• The general public, emergency and service vehicles do not utilize the alley.
• The property is abutted on four sides by dedicated public right of way that provides
access for emergency vehicles and equipment. The closure of the alley will not have
an adverse affect on the ability to provide emergency services to the adjacent
property and neighborhood.
• The alley is not part of a neighborhood pedestrian and vehicular circulation network.
Improved roadways and sidewalks on adjacent public streets will enhance
pedestrian and vehicular circulation for the neighborhood.
• The Plat and Street Committee voted 6 in favor and 0 in denial of this alley closure
request.
Based on these findings, the Planning and Zoning Department recommends
approval of the request.
