Re: Recommendation to Approve PZ.1 & PZ.2
Dear Honorable Chairman Marc Sarnoff:
This letter serves as the Miami River Commission's (MRC) "official
statement" as requested in City Resolution 00-320, regarding the May
23, 2013 City Commission Agenda Items PZ.1 & PZ.2, which impact
the Miami River.
During the MRC's March 4, 2013 public meeting, Vicky Garcia -
Toledo presented the subject "River Landing" mixed use project,
featuring a 504ot wide public riverwalk, 2 side yards and middle
corridor which are all publicly accessible 24 hours per day, 7 days per
week, with no waivers, no exemptions, no exceptions and no
reductions of the public riverwalk provisions required under the City
of Miami's Zoning Code Sections 3.11, and Appendix B. The MRC
passed a unanimous resolution recommending approval of "River
Landing" as it is consistent with the Miami River Greenway Action
Plan and the Miami River Corridor Urban Infill Plan.
Your continued support for the Miami River is appreciated.
Sincerely,
•
Horacio Stuart Aguirre
Chairman,
Miami River Commission
