Criteria: For rezoning: A change may be made only to the next intensity Transect Zone or
by a Special Area Plan, and in a manner which maintains the goals of the Miami
21 Code to preserve Neighborhoods and to provide proper transitions in intensity
and scale.
Finding: In determining the appropriateness of the proposed amendment to the "Miami

CONCLUSION:
The modification proposed includes precisions and clarification to the Regulating Plan and the
Conceptual Plan consistent with the intent and purpose of the "Miami Design District Retail

The proposed SAP as amended will benefit the area by creating and enhanced program of
residential units, commercial uses, as well as civic and open space for the enjoyment of the
general public, generating public benefits within the development, resulting in higher or
specialized quality building and streetscape design.
The SAP as amended keep the intent and concept to provide mixed -use, pedestrian oriented
retail areas within an urban development, meeting the Miami 21 development concept in the
interaction with the surrounding areas of Miami.
11.01196ap2
Page 6 of 9
This project as amended is deemed critically important to the economic revitalization and
enhancement of the Miami Design District area, and consequently a positive impact to the City
in general, creating recurring and nonrecurring financial benefits as well as temporary and

Staff finds the proposed SAP amendment is consistent with the goals of the Miami 21 Code and
previously approved SAP as the request is compatible with the surrounding zoning district and
provides an appropriate zoning transition.
