ANALYSIS FOR ZONING CHANGE
Virginia Key
File ID 12-01180zc2
Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.b.(2) of Ordinance 13114, the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami states that, the City
may conduct a comprehensive review of the Miami 21 Atlas every two years to evaluate the development direction of
the City's neighborhoods and determine if additional amendments are appropriate.
The Planning and Zoning Department having conducted said biennial review, has found the following changes to be
appropriate and consistent with the development direction of the city's neighborhoods.
Application requests:
The request is to change the current zoning classification of the selected properties located approximately at the east
side of Virginia Key from T1 "Natural Transect Zones" and CI "Civic Institution Zones to CS "Civic Space Zone".
The subject properties are located within the Downtown NET area, and consist of selected properties comprising of
approximately 52.4± acres of land, as depicted in Exhibit "A" (A complete legal description is on file at the Hearing
Boards Office)
Review and analysis of the proposed changes finds that:
• Virginia Key is located midway from mainland City of Miami and the Village of Key Biscayne and is defined
by natural areas, parks, open space, and limited development.
• The requested changes are for selected properties located approximately to the east and south sides of the
Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Treatment Plant on Virginia Key.
• The proposed changes consist of changing the zoning classification from T1 "Natural Transect Zones" and
CI "Civic Institution Zones" to CS "Civic Space Zone" within the selected subject properties.
• The T1 Transect designation is intended for lands permanently set aside for conservation in a natural state.
The subject properties within this designation are disturbed lands with fill and improvements related to its
recreational use.
• The subject properties with CI Transect designation are located to the south and northeast side of the
existing Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Treatment Plant and are not within the property lines of this facility.
• The subject changes comply with the Virginia Key Master Plan adopted by the City of Miami Commission on
July 22, 2010.
• This change will require an amendment to the Future Land Use Map of the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan for the subject areas from "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, Utilities"
and "Conservation" to "Public Parks and Recreation".
Based on these findings, the Planning and Zoning Department is recommending approval of the
application as presented.

conditions on the property proposed for change.
