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."
Land Use Designations Effected by the Proposed FLUM Changes
1. Low Density Restricted Commercial
This future land use category allows residential uses (except rescue missions) to a
maximum density equivalent to "Low Density Multifamily Residential" subject to the
same limiting conditions; transitory residential facilities such as hotels and motels. This
category also allows general office use, clinics and laboratories, auditoriums, libraries,
convention facilities, places of worship, and primary and secondary schools. Also
allowed are commercial activities that generally serve the daily retailing and service
needs of the public, typically requiring easy access by personal auto, and often located
along arterial or collector roadways, which include: general retailing, personal and
professional services, real estate, banking and other financial services, restaurants,
saloons and cafes, general entertainment facilities, private clubs and recreation facilities,
major sports and exhibition or entertainment facilities and other commercial activities
whose scale and land use impacts are similar in nature to those uses described above.
This category also includes commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels as
permissible.
The nonresidential portions of developments within areas designated as "Low Density
Restricted Commercial" allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 3.0 times the net lot
area of the subject property.
2. Medium Density Multifamily Residential
This future land use category allows residential structures to a maximum density of 65
dwelling units per acre, subject to the detailed provisions of the applicable land
development regulations and the maintenance of required levels of service for facilities
and services included in the City's adopted concurrency management requirements.
Supporting services such as community -based residential facilities (14 clients or less,
not including drug, alcohol or correctional rehabilitation facilities) will be allowed pursuant
to applicable state law; community -based residential facilities (15-50 clients) and day
care centers for children and adults may be permissible in suitable locations. Permissible
uses within medium density multifamily areas also include commercial activities that are
intended to serve the retailing and personal services needs of the building or building
complex, small scale limited commercial uses as accessory uses, subject to the detailed
provisions of applicable land development regulations and the maintenance of required
levels of service for such uses, places of worship, primary and secondary schools, and
accessory post -secondary educational facilities. Professional offices, tourist and guest
homes, museums, and private clubs or lodges are allowed only in contributing structures
within historic sites or historic districts that have been designated by the Historical and
Environmental Preservation Board and are in suitable locations within medium density
multifamily residential areas, pursuant to applicable land development regulations and
the maintenance of required levels of service for such uses. Density and intensity
limitations for said uses shall be restricted to those of the contributing structure(s).
3. Medium Density Restricted Commercial
This future land use category allows residential uses (except rescue missions) to a
maximum density equivalent to "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" subject to the
same limiting conditions; transitory residential facilities such as hotels and motels. This
category also allows general office use, clinics and laboratories, auditoriums, libraries,
convention facilities, places of worship, and primary and secondary schools. Also
allowed are commercial activities that generally serve the daily retailing and service
needs of the public, typically requiring easy access by personal auto, and often located
along arterial or collector roadways, which include: general retailing, personal and
professional services, real estate, banking and other financial services, restaurants,
saloons and cafes, general entertainment facilities, private clubs and recreation facilities,
major sports and exhibition or entertainment facilities and other commercial activities
whose scale and land use impacts are similar in nature to those uses described above.
This category also includes commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels as
permissible.
The nonresidential portions of developments within areas designated as "Medium
Density Restricted Commercial" allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 6.0 times the
net lot area of the subject property.
All such uses and mixes of uses shall be subject to the detailed provisions of the
applicable land development regulations and the maintenance of required levels of
service for facilities and services included in the City's adopted concurrency
management requirements.
4. Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, and Utilities
This future land use category allows facilities for federal, state and local government
activities, major public or private health, recreational, cultural, religious or educational
activities, and major transportation facilities and public utilities. Residential facilities
14-012011u
Page 2 of 7
ancillary to these uses are allowed up to a maximum density equivalent to "High Density
Multifamily Residential" or if applicable the least intense abutting/adjacent residential
zoning district, subject to the same limiting conditions.
Areas designated as "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities
allow nonresidential uses to a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 6.0 times the net lot area
of the subject property. Properties designated "Major Institutional, Public Facilities,
Transportation and Utilities" in the Health / Civic Center District allow a maximum floor
lot ratio (FLR) of 8.0 times the net lot area of the subject property. Properties designated
"Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities" in the Urban Central
Business District allow a maximum FLR of 37.0 times the net lot area of the subject
property.
5. Restricted Commercial
This future land use category allows residential uses (except rescue missions) to a
maximum density equivalent to "High Density Multifamily Residential" subject to the
same limiting conditions and a finding by the Planning Director that the proposed site's
proximity to other residentially zoned property makes it a logical extension or
continuation of existing residential development and that adequate services and
amenities exist in the adjacent area to accommodate the needs of potential residents;
transitory residential facilities such as hotels and motels. This category also allows
general office use; clinics and laboratories, auditoriums, libraries, convention facilities,
places of worship, and primary and secondary schools. Also allowed are commercial
activities that generally serve the daily retailing and service needs of the public, typically
requiring easy access by personal auto, and often located along arterial or collector
roadways, which include: general retailing, personal and professional services, real
estate, banking and other financial services, restaurants, saloons and cafes, general
entertainment facilities, private clubs and recreation facilities, major sports and exhibition
or entertainment facilities and other commercial activities whose scale and land use
impacts are similar in nature to those uses described above. This category also includes
commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels as permissible.
The nonresidential portions of developments within areas designated as "Restricted
Commercial" allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 7.0 times the net lot area of the
subject property; such FLR may be increased upon compliance with the detailed
provisions of the applicable land development regulations; however, may not exceed a
total FLR of 11.0 times the net lot area of the subject property. Properties designated as
"Restricted Commercial" in the Edgewater Area allow a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of
17.0 times the net lot area of the subject property. Properties designated as "Restricted
Commercial" in the Urban Central Business District and Buena Vista Yards Regional
Activity Center allows a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 37.0 times the net lot area of
the subject property.
All such uses and mixes of uses shall be subject to the detailed provisions of the
applicable land development regulations and the maintenance of required levels of
service for facilities and services included in the City's adopted concurrency
management requirements. Nonresidential floor area is the floor area that supports
nonresidential uses within the inside perimeter of the outside walls of the building
including hallways, stairs, closets, thickness of walls, columns and other features, and
parking and loading areas, and excluding only open air corridors, porches, balconies and
roof areas.

Proposed Land Use Changes:
The subject area consists of multiple parcels encompassing approximately 70.18 acres
generally located between in an area approximately bounded by Southwest 2nd Street to the

ANALYSIS
The area was predominately developed in the early 1900s as a suburban single-family
neighborhood west of downtown Miami as part of the Riverview and Lawrence Subdivision.
Over time the area experienced an economic decline and demographic shift, resulting in a
discontinuity of uses and building types. Due to the evolving market trends, the area
experienced a proliferation of multifamily residential buildings. Many single-family homes were
modified and/or converted into multifamily dwellings and commercial establishments.
The area of east Little Havana has experienced an increase of population. Amending the future
land use map will ensure that adequate services and amenities will exist in the adjacent areas to
accommodate the needs of existing and potential residents. Placing support services within the
neighborhood promotes mixed -use development. Mixed -use development encourages
pedestrian activities and reduces vehicular trips.
Furthermore, the proposed land use changes are related to the "Medium Density Restricted
Commercial", "Restricted Commercial" and "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation
and Utilities" designations. The proposed changes to the FLUM will facilitate the proposed
rezoning area as a companion item.
The Planning and Zoning Department is recommending APPROVAL of the amendment as
presented based on the following findings:
• A land use change at this area is appropriate and will create a desirable transition North
to South as well as consistency along the corridor East to West.
• The proposed changes are consistent with MCNP Land Use Goal LU-1(1) which
encourages a land use pattern that protects and enhances the quality of life in the city's
residential neighborhoods and promotes the efficient use of land and minimizes land use
conflicts.
14-012011u
Page 5of7
• The proposed changes are consistent with MCNP Land Use Policy LU-1.1.3 which
provides for the protection of all areas of the city from the (1) encroachment of
incompatible land uses; (2) the adverse impacts of future land uses in adjacent areas
that disrupt or degrade public health and safety, or natural or man-made amenities; (3)
transportation policies that divide or fragment established neighborhoods; and (4)
degradation of public open space, environment, and ecology. Existing neighborhoods
will be protected from re -development and new development through the City's land
development regulations.
• The proposed changes are consistent with Policy LU-1.1.7 which states that land
development regulations and policies will allow for the development and redevelopment
of well -designed mixed -use neighborhoods that provide for the full range of residential,
office, live/work spaces, neighborhood retail, and community facilities in a walkable area
and that are amenable to a variety of transportation modes, including walking, bicycles,
automobiles, and mass transit.
• The analysis is NOT based on a proposed project. The highest potential use is being
considered.
• MCNP Goal LU-1 states that the City will maintain a land use pattern that (1) protects
and enhances the quality of life in the City's neighborhoods; (2) fosters redevelopment
and revitalization of blighted or declining areas; (3) promotes and facilitates economic
development and the growth of job opportunities in the city; (4) fosters the growth and
development of downtown as a regional center of domestic and international commerce,
culture and entertainment; (5) promotes the efficient use of land and minimizes land use
conflicts while protecting and preserving residential sections within neighborhoods; (6)
protects and conserves the city's significant natural and coastal resources; and (7)
protects the integrity and quality of the City's existing neighborhoods by insuring public
notice, input and appellant rights regarding changes in existing zoning and land use
regulations. Establishing the new land uses will allow for the development of higher
density uses that can encourage additional economic development within the East Little
Havana area as whole, without negatively impacting the overall scale and character of
the neighborhood. The area is well buffered from other neighborhoods, so land use
conflicts will be minimal.
• MCNP Policy LU-1.6.10 states that the City's land development regulations and policies
will allow for the provision of safe and convenient on -site traffic flow and vehicle parking
and will provide access by a variety of transportation modes, including pedestrianism,
bicycles, automobiles, and transit. The area is directly served by several Metrobus
routes and in close proximity to two MetroRail Stations (1/2 mile). The area is therefore
well served by public transportation.
• MCNP Housing Policy HO-1.1.7 states that the City will continue to control, through
restrictions in the City's land development regulations, large scale and/or intensive
commercial and industrial land development which may negatively impact any residential
neighborhood and will provide appropriate transitions between high-rise and low-rise
residential developments. The subject area is surrounded by areas designated "Medium
Density Restricted Commercial" and "Restricted Commercial", so impacts to residential
areas will be minimal.
14-012011u
Page 6 of 7
• MCNP Land Use Policy LU-1.3.1 states that the City will continue to provide incentives
for commercial redevelopment and new construction in designated Neighborhood
Development Zones (NDZ), the Empowerment Zone, the Enterprise Zone, the
Brownfield Redevelopment Area, Commercial Business Corridors, and other targeted
areas. The Little Havana Area is located in a designated NDZ. The proposed changes
to the FLUM designation provide incentives for redevelopment within the area.
• MCNP Policy TR-1.1.1 states that the City hereby adopts designation of the City,
excluding Virginia Key, Watson Island and the uninhabited islands of Biscayne Bay that
have a land use and zoning classification of Conservation, as an Urban Infill Area
pursuant to Miami -Dade County's designation of an Urban Infill Area lying generally east
of the Palmetto Expressway and including all of the City of Miami. Within this area, the
concentration and intensification of development around centers of activity shall be
emphasized with the goals of enhancing the livability of residential neighborhoods and
the viability of commercial areas. Priority will be given to infill development on vacant
parcels, adaptive reuse of underutilized land and structures, the redevelopment of
substandard sites, downtown revitalization and the development of projects that promote
public transportation. Maintenance of transportation levels of service within this
designated Urban Infill Transportation Concurrency Exception Area shall be in
accordance with the adopted Transportation Corridors level of service standards and the
City of Miami Person -Trip Methodology as set forth in Policies TR-1.1.2 and TR-1.1.3 of
the Transportation Element of the MCNP. (See Land Use Policy LU-1.1.11.) The subject
area is located within the Urban Infill Area/Transportation Concurrency Exception Area.
The site is served by public transportation and can support higher densities.
• 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 Improvements Element.
• Goal 11 of the Strategic Regional Policy Plan for South Florida states to encourage and
support the implementation of development proposals that conserve the Region's natural
resources, rural and agricultural lands, green infrastructure and: utilize existing and
planned infrastructure where most appropriate in urban areas; enhance the utilization of
regional transportation systems; incorporate mixed -land use developments; recycle
existing developed sites; and provide for the preservation of historic sites. This change
is consistent with this goal and related policies.
