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 BETWEEN NORTHEAST MIAMI COURT AND NORTH MIAMI
AVENUE FROM NORTHWEST 21ST STREET TO NORTHWEST 22ND STREET, MIAMI,
FLORIDA.
Net District: Wynwood / Edgewater
Folio #: N/A Square footage: N/A
Current Zoning Designation: D1 (WORK PLACE - DISTRICT ZONE)
FINDINGS AND COMMENTS:
1. The southerly end of the alley is not used and the northerly end is fenced to prohibit
access. The general public, emergency and service vehicles do not use the alley. The
closure of the alley will unify the site to allow the development of a new residential and
retail use for the property. The new development will comply with Miami 21 regulations
including enhanced pedestrian access on the ground level and abutting roadways.
2. On June 26, 2014, City Commission approved the land use and zoning change for six
properties abutting the alley on the southern portion of the block. The land use will
change the properties from "Light Industrial" to "General Commercial" and the parcels
will change from Transect Zone D1 — ""Work Place" to Transect Zone T6-8-O — "Urban
Core". The alley closure will help facilitate the development of the block as a single tract
of land.
3. The alley is currently not used by emergency or service vehicles. Solid waste collection
is by private hauler.
4. There would be no negative affect on providing emergency and service access. The
proposed development of the property must comply with emergency and service access
regulations.
5. The adjacent sidewalks will be widened and improved for pedestrian circulation. The
alley is not a part of the neighborhood circulation network. The public and adjacent
property owners are not using the alley for circulation or access.
6. The Plat and Street Committee members voted to recommend six (6) in favor and zero
(0) in denial of this alley closure request.

7. The alley closure is consistent with the goals, policies, and objectives of the Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP). The alley closure will promote and
facilitate cohesive development, economic growth and revitalization of the lots that it
abuts.
Based on the above findings, the Planning and Zoning Department recommends
Approval of the request.
