8-0 "Urban Core Transect Zone Open"; and
WHEREAS, the site consists of multiple parcels of which the vast majority front Northwest 20th
Street from Northwest 13th Avenue to Northwest 27th Avenue, as herein described; and
WHEREAS, previously under Zoning Ordinance 11000, the parcels fronting the South side of
Northwest 20th Street from Northwest 27th Avenue to the Seybold Canal were zoned C2 ("Liberal
Commercial"); and
WHEREAS, under C2, a residential density of a minimum of 65 to a maximum of 150 dwelling

wholesale, warehouse, office, hotel, retail uses, and residential facilities; and

corridor's character from East to West; and
WHEREAS, the proposed rezoning of Northwest 20th Street, from D1 to T6-8-O, is found to be

Plan ("MCNP"); a companion item to amend the MCNP has been submitted under file number 14-
010651u; and
WHEREAS, the proposed rezoning will contribute to the improvement of development of properties
in the adjacent area in accordance with existing regulations; and
WHEREAS, the proposed change to the text of Miami 21 conveys the same treatment to the
individual owner as to the owners within the same classification and the immediate area, and furthers
the protection of the public, health, safety, and general welfare; and
