ANALYSIS FOR
ALLEY 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 an alley
Location: APPROXIMATELY ON THE WEST SIDE OF NORTHEAST 2ND AVENUE
BETWEEN NORTHEAST 40TH STREET AND NE 41sT STREET, MIAMI, FLORIDA
Net District: Little Haiti NET
Folio #: N/A Square footage: N/A
Current Zoning Designation: N/A
FINDINGS AND COMMENTS:
1 The closure of the alley will unify the site to permit a new development in compliance
with an approved Special Area Plan (DACRA SAP), which will improve the pedestrian
realm allowing for enhanced public amenities and access on ground level
2. A public access easement will be provided on the proposed closed end of the alley to
maintain through access and continuity. The general public currently uses the alley.
3. The closure of the alley and provision of a public access easement will cause no
negative affect on the ability to provide emergency services.
4. Pedestrian circulation will be enhanced by the SAP Paseo through the blocks to the
south of this tentative plat. Continuity of vehicular and pedestrian circulation will be
preserved with the provision of the access easement..
5. The Plat and Street Committee members voted to recommend 7 in favor and 0 in denial
of this alley closure request.
Based on the above findings, the Planning and Zoning Department recommends
Approval of the request.
