Home My WebLink AboutAnalysis, Maps & PZAB ResoANALYSIS FOR STREET CLOSURE File ID# 15-00183sc REQUEST: Pursuant to Section 55-15 (c) of the Miami City Code, the applicant proposes the closing, vacating, abandoning, and discontinuing for public use a street. PROJECT ADDRESS: A portion of Northeast 11th Terrace lying east of North Miami Avenue and west of Northeast Miami Court, approximately 6,384 square feet APPLICANT: Iris Escarra, Esquire on behalf of the property owner 29 NE 11 Street, LLC. COMMISSION DISTRICT: District 2 FOLIO#: not applicable ZONING DESIGNATION: T6-60A-0 NET OFFICE: Downtown FINDINGS AND COMMENTS: 1. The general public uses Northeast 11th Terrace for access to the adjacent properties. Due to the "one-way" traffic pattern in the neighborhood, the general public approaching on North Miami Avenue would have to circulate around the block to access the adjacent properties and parking lot located under the expressway. The abutting properties to the north and south of Northeast 11th Terrace are under the same ownership, as such, this closure will allow for unified development in the future. Furthermore, when there is future development a continuous pedestrian sidewalk will be provided which benefits the general public. 2. The general public, service and emergency vehicles use Northeast 11th Terrace for access to the adjacent properties. Service and emergency response vehicles from F-R Station 2 would have to circulate around the block to gain access to adjacent properties and the parking lot under the expressway. However, Northeast 11th Terrace acts as a private road leading to a specific destination and related parking under the expressway. Any proposed future development will be conditioned to provide access for service and emergency vehicles. 3. Circulation around the block may delay emergency service to the adjacent properties. However, North Miami Avenue, Northeast Miami Court and Northeast 11th Street are available as access to the projects abutting Northeast 11th Terrace. 4. Closing of the Northeast 11th Terrace connection to North Miami Avenue will reduce vehicular conflicts with passing traffic and pedestrians. The area of Northeast 11th Terrace is only one block in length and is not a part of the vehicular and pedestrian circulation pattern that will accommodate a standard street cross section, including sidewalks, and standard width of the vehicular travel lanes. City of Miami Planning and Zoning Department 5. On January 15, 2015, Plat and Street Committee members voted to recommend four (4) in favor and two (2) in denial of this street closure request. The Solid Waste Department and the Fire Department voted to deny the closure as it is not part of a proposed development and access easements for their services have not been clearly defined. 6. The street closure is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP). The street closure will promote and facilitate cohesive development, and revitalization of the lots that it abuts. Based on the above findings, the Planning and Zoning Department recommends Approval of the request. p/t/v Christopher Brimo, AICP Chief of Land Development J.
