ANALYSIS FOR
STREET CLOSURE
Request: 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.
Project: Closing, vacating, abandoning and discontinuing for public use a street located
Location: APPROXIMATELY ALONG THE SOUTHWESTERLY SIDE OF NW N
RIVER DRIVE, AT NW 13TH TERRACE MIAMI, FLORIDA
Net District: Allapattah NET
Folio #: N/A Square footage: N/A
Current Zoning Designation: N/A
FINDINGS AND COMMENTS:
1. The re -platting of the land and closure of a portion of NW 15 Avenue is a
requirement of the River Landing Special Area Plan approved by the Miami City
Commission. The development of the River Landing project provides significant
public access along the entire frontage of the Miami River and several public
access corridors between NW North River Drive and the riverfront. Signage will
be posted to identify public access to the riverfront.
2. NW 15 Avenue is currently open and improved and is utilized by the general
public, emergency and service vehicles.
3. The Special area Plan requires service and emergency access lanes to properly
serve the development and the riverfront.
4. NW 15 Avenue currently "dead ends" at the Miami River and is not a part of a
continuous neighborhood circulation route. Public access and circulation will be
improved with the development of the River Landing by providing several public
access points from NW North River Drive that is interconnected and continuous
along the adjacent riverfront.
5. The Plat and Street Committee members voted to recommend 6 in favor and 0 in
denial of this street closure request conditioned upon compliance with the River
Landing Special Area Plan.
Based on these findings, the Planning and Zoning Department recommends approval of
the request.
