Home My WebLink AboutAnalysis, Maps, PZAB ResoANALYSIS FOR FUTURE LAND USE CHANGE REQUEST Approximately 104 NW 1st Avenue File ID 14-00411Iu REQUEST The proposal is for a change to the Future Land Use Map of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan from "Central Business District" within the "Urban Central Business District" to "Public Parks and Recreation" within the "Urban Central Business District". (A complete legal description is on file at the Hearing Boards Office). FUTURE LAND USE Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) Policy LU-1.6.1 established future land use categories according to the 2020 Future Land Use Map and the "Interpretation of the Future Land Use Map." The "Central Business District (CBD)" is intended to apply to the central commercial, fi- nancial and office core of the metropolitan region, and allows all activities included in the "Restricted Commercial," and "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utili- ties" designations. Residential facilities (except for rescue missions) alone or in combination with other uses are allowable to a maximum density of 1,000 dwelling units per acre, subject to the detailed provisions of the applicable land development regulations and the mainten- ance of required levels of service for facilities and services included in the City's adopted concurrency management requirements. Also permitted is a mix of uses ranging from high density multifamily residential to high in- tensity office uses with retail uses on the lower floors of structures. Intensity of uses within the CBD land use designation are generally higher than those allowed in other areas of the city. Areas designated as CBD allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 40 times the net lot area of the subject property. The "Urban Central Business District (UCBD)" identifies the single urban core area within the City of Miami. The UCBD shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and Future Land Use Map, shall contain mass transit service as defined in Chapter 9J-5, F.A.C., and shall con- tain high intensity, high density multi -use development to include: retail; professional and go- vernmental office uses; cultural, recreational and entertainment facilities; high density residen- tial; hotels and motels; and appropriate industrial activities. In accordance with Chapter 28- 24.014(10)(a), F.A.C., the guidelines and standards of development, a designated Urban Cen- tral Business District within the City of Miami shall: 1. Increase the threshold for residential, hotel, motel, office, or retail development by fifty -percent (50%); 2. Increase the threshold for applicable multi -use guidelines and standards by on hun- dred percent (100%), provided that one land use of the multi -use development is residential and the residential development amounts to not less than thirty-five percent (35%) of the City of Mi- ami's applicable residential threshold; and 1 3. Increase the threshold for resort or convention hotel development by one hundred fifty percent (150%). The "Public Parks and Recreation" designation's primary intent of this land use classifica- tion is to conserve open space and green spaces of a park while allowing access and uses which will not interfere with the preservation of any significant environmental features which may exist within the park. This land use designation allows only open space and park uses with recreational and cul- tural uses where the total building footprints and impervious parking area surfaces in parks of one (1) acre of more may cover no more than 25% of the park land area (See related Policy PR-2.1.3.). Both passive and active recreational uses shall be permitted including but not limited to nature trails, interpretive centers, picnic areas, playgrounds, canoe trails and launches, small concession stands, restrooms, gyms, swimming pools, athletic fields, cul- tural facilities, marine and marina facilities and other facilities supporting passive and active recreational and cultural uses. Lands under this designation with specific qualities that make them desirable for commer- cial photography shall be allowed to be used in this manner conditionally, and only when it is determined that conducting such commercial photography will not endanger significant envi- ronmental features within the area. DISCUSSION The subject area consists of one parcel comprising approximately 0.176 acres of land. This parcel is located within the block bounded by NW 1st Avenue the west and north, NW 1st Street to the south, and NW Miami Court to the east. The subject area currently functions as a park. The parcels to the north, east, and west, are designated "Central Business District". The parcels to the south are designated "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, and Utilities". The subject parcel is also within the "Urban Central Business District". The subject parcel is in the DOWNTOWN NET Service Center Area. ANALYSIS The Planning Department is recommending APPROVAL of the application as presented based on the following: • The site currently functions as a park. This amendment will protect this park land. • Objective PR-1.1 states that the City shall work to achieve a medium -term objective of providing a park within one-half mile of every resident and to achieve a long-term objective of a park within one -quarter mile of every resident. This amendment will provide for a new park to help achieve this objective. • The "Public Parks and Recreation" designation is compatible with residential uses of all densities and intensities. • MCNP Land Use Goal LU-1(1) encourages a land use pattern that protects and enhances the quality of life in the city's residential neighborhoods and (5) promotes the efficient use of land and minimizes land use conflicts. This amendment will enhance the quality of life in the surrounding residential neighborhoods by maintaining a recreational amenity in an area that currently lacks them. 2 • The MCNP Land Use Policy 1.1.1 provides that new development or redevelopment that results in an increase in density or intensity of land use shall be contingent upon availability of public facilities and services that meet or exceed the minimum LOS standards adopted in the Capital Improvement Element. This Future Land Use amendment will assist in improving the Parks and Open Space Levels of Service. • Because this proposal is reducing the potential for residential density to "0" dwelling units per acre, a school concurrency analysis is not required. • Policy PR-2.1.1 establishes that the City has a no -net -loss policy for public park land and will adopt procedures to this effect for park land in the City Zoning Ordinances, as described in the 2007 Parks and Public Spaces Master Plan. These will allow only recreation and cultural facilities to be built on park land, will limit building footprint on any such land, will require that conversion of park land for any other purposes be subject to public procedures, and replace the converted park land with land similar in park, recreation or conservation value in terms of usefulness and location. This amendment will support this policy by protecting approximately 0.176 acres of park land. • The Miami 21 zoning designation currently approved on the site is T6-80-0 — "Urban Zone Core Zone", The proposed designation will be CS — "Civic Space". These findings support the position that the Future Land Use Map at this location should be changed. 3 FUTURE LAND USE MAP (EXISTING) * 4 ;•• 1i�i�i4 4>.•...lo River RDI/ ►'i0'i00.iii• 0 150 300 600 Feet ADDRESS: 104 NW 1 AV FUTURE LAND USE MAP (PROPOSED) Nk; �NW 3RDST ��\ NE 3RD S 'NDST AS\\\\\X UCBD s �` District 3� X g • Restricted Commercial ►. „•,*4 ,•••IA 1 a. •••��•••••• •••.... ► rcecreationV•VW:ik • x9.CN;,1\ kirgX1 0 150 300 i I 600 Feet ADDRESS: 104 NW 1 AV 1.11 w + NE'4TH S1 a afire NW 3RD:ST NE 3RD,S1 '21 141 NW2ND ST NW1STST C, p - . soy ° g rn l M AE�X.
