APPLICANT: Iris Escarra, Esquire, on behalf of the owner, Abreu Development, LLC
COMMISSION DISTRICT: District 1 NET OFFICE: Allapattah
LAND USE DESIGNATION: Duplex Residential
REQUEST
The proposal is for an amendment to the Future Land Use Map of the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan designation of two properties from "Duplex Residential" to "Low Density
Restricted Commercial", A complete legal description of the properties is on file at the Hearing
Boards Office.
FUTURE LAND USE
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (IMCNP) 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."
Areas designated as "Duplex Residential" allow residential structures of up to two dwelling
units each to a maximum density of 18 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.
Community based residential facilities (14 clients or less, not including drug, alcohol or
correctional rehabilitation facilities) also will be allowed pursuant to applicable state law. Places
of worship, primary and secondary schools, child day care centers and adult day care centers
are permissible in suitable locations within duplex residential areas.
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 duplex 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).
Areas designated as "Low Density Restricted Commercial" allow 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.
DISCUSSION
The subject area consists of two parcels, comprising approximately 0.15 acres. The parcels are
located west of NW 17 Avenue, between NW 18 Street to the south and NW 17 Street to the
north. 1729 NW 18 Street is designated "Duplex Residential" while 1725 NW 18 Street has a
split designation of "Duplex Residential' and "Restricted Commercial". To the east of the subject
parcels the land use designation is "Restricted Commercial" To the north the land use
designation is 'Medium Density Restricted Commercial". To the south the land use designation
is "Duplex Residential"_ 1725 NW 18 Street is currently vacant, while 1729 NW 18 Street
currently has an existing, single-family structure_

ANALYSIS
• The existing character, intensity, and density of the site and surrounding area are
currently consistent with Duplex Residential_
• The MCNP Interpretation of the 2020 Future Land Use Map section indicates that the
"Duplex Residential" designation permits 18 dwelling units per acre and the "Low Density
Restricted Commercial" future land use designation allows residential uses to a
maximum density of 36 dwelling units per acre. Currently there is one (1) dwelling unit
on the subject properties_ The proposed amendment would allow for approximately five
(5) dwelling units, which are out of scale, density, and character with the surrounding
single-family and duplex designated neighborhood.
• A land use amendment at this location may set a negative precedent and create a
"domino effect" in regards to future land use change applications throughout this single-
family and duplex designated neighborhood, changing the character of the
neighborhood.
• MCNP Land Use Goal LU-1(1) "encourages a land use pattern that protects and
enhances the quality of life in the city's residential neighborhoods: (5) promotes the
efficient use of land and minimizes land use conflict&. The proposed land use
amendment could bring commercial and possibly higher intensity residential into a
single-family and duplex designated neighborhood.
• Land Use Policy LU-1,1.3 "provides for the protection of all areas of the city from (1) the
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", This change would break the uniform land use designations by encroaching
too far into the single-family and duplex designated neighborhood_ The proposed
amendment is out of scale in regards to intensity, density, and height as it pertains to
this neighborhood.
• MCNP Housing Policy HO-1.1.7, states "the City will continue to control, through
restrictions in the City's development regulations, large scale and/or intense commercial
and industrial land development which may negatively impact any residential
neighborhood. The proposed amendment is out of scale in regards to density and height
as it pertains to this single-family and duplex designated neighborhood.
MCNP Housing Policy HO-1.1.8 states that through land development regulations, the
City will protect and enhance existing viable neighborhoods in those areas suitable for
housing. The subject properties and the surrounding area is a well -established
residential neighborhood.
▪ The proposed land use designation amendment of 'Low Density Restricted Commercial"
is incompatible with the area and would represent a change incongruent with the
surrounding land uses. In that the proposed land use amendment is dissimilar to the
adjacent parcels.
• The approved Miami 21 zoning on the subject parcels is T3-O — "Sub -Urban Zone while
the companion proposed rezoning is T4-L — 'General Urban Zone".
■ The analysis is NOT based on a proposed project. The highest potential use is being
considered.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning Department is recommending DENIAL of
the .amendment as presented based on the following findings:
These findings support the position that the Future Land Use Map at this location and for this
neighborhood should not be changed to the proposed designation..

Re: Abreu Development, LLC / 1725 and 1729 NW 18 Street Miami, Florida /
Letter of Intent for Submittal of Applications for Comprehensive Plan
Amendment and Rezoning
Dear Mr. Garcia:
On behalf of Abreu Development, LLC (the "Applicant"), please accept the enclosed
applications for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning (the "Applications") of the
property located at 1729 NW 18 Street and that portion of the property located at 1725 NW 18
Street, Miami, Florida consisting of Lot 47 of the Bellevue Subdivision only (collectively, the
"Property"). This correspondence constitutes the Applicant's Letter of Intent and analysis
pursuant to the requirements of Article 7.1.2.8(c) (2) (g) of Miami 21. Specifically, the
Applicant is requesting a zoning change from T3-O to T4-L pursuant to the successional zoning
requirements of Section 7.1.2.8 of Miami 21 and in compliance with the extension of an existing
T4 boundary line pursuant to Section 7.1.2.8(c)(1) of Miami 21, and a comprehensive plan
change from Duplex Residential ("DR") to Low Density Restricted Commercial ("LDRC").
PROPERTY INFORMATION
According to the enclosed survey prepared by Exacta Commercial Land Surveyors, dated
December 12, 2014, the Property is approximately 6,704 square feet or 0.15 acres in area and
consists of an existing one-story single family residence (the "Existing Structure"). The Existing
Structure was originally constructed in 1925 and is currently in a state of disrepair.
The Applicant seeks to develop the Property for accessory parking to support the
proposed one-story retail structure to be located at the adjoining site at 1808 NW 17 Avenue
Miami, Florida (the "Commercial Site"). Please note that the Commercial Site is zoned T6-8-O
under Miami 21 and is not a part of the proposed rezoning and land use amendment
Applications. The Property abuts the Commercial Site and a retail grocery store to the East, a
single family residential structure to the West, a vacant parcel and a multifamily structure to the
North, and various commercial uses, multifamily structures and duplexes to the South.

ANALYSIS FOR REZONING AND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT
As per Miami 21, the current zoning for the Property is T3-O. The Applicant requests to
rezone the Property from T3-O to T4-L pursuant to the successional zoning requirements of
Section 7.1.2.8 of Miami 21. The Applicant requests the extension of the existing T4 boundary
line abutting the Property to the North, across NW 18 Terrace, pursuant to the provisions of
Section 7.1.2.8(c)(1) of Miami 21 which permit the extension of an existing transect boundary
line abutting the Property, please see Image 1 below. The proposed retail structure will be
limited to the Commercial Site and the Property will be limited to accessory parking under the
rezoned T4-L Transect. For the reasons outlined below, we believe the proposed rezoning is
appropriate for this particular Property and should be approved.

1. An analysis of the Property shows that the existing condition of the
surrounding properties supports the rezoning to T4-L
The Applicant proposes accessory surface parking at the Property to support the proposed
retail building at the Commercial Site, zoned T6-8-O. Please note that retail uses are permitted
by right at the Commercial Site under the T6-8 regulations. The Applicant proposes a unified site
consisting of a retail building at the Commercial Site fronting NW 17th Avenue and accessory
surface parking at the Property to support said retail use, see Image 2 below. The proposed T4-L
transect designation, would allow retail uses by right and a maximum of three stories and 40 feet
in height at the Property.
NW 17th Avenue is classified as a Minor Arterial Roadway per Map TR-2 of the City's
Comprehensive Neighborhood Master Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit "A." NW 17th Avenue is
a major thoroughfare consisting of mainly commercial and retail uses including accessory
surface parking facilities. As further depicted in the images below, the sites surrounding the
Property contain a mixture of single -story commercial and retail structures.
MIA 184281245v2
Image 2
This analysis considers the immediate surrounding properties including those sites that
front onto NW 17th Avenue in the same manner as which the proposed unified site would. For
example, please see the following sites as located within the immediate area of the Property and
their current uses:
• The property located at 1818 NW 17 Avenue, located approximately 50 feet from the
Property, consists of a food market, Santa Barbara Produce, and a used tire retailer,
Ceptor Tires Inc. As depicted in the following images, these establishments front NW
17 Avenue and NW 18 Terrace with direct vehicular access to the site along NW 18
Terrace. Please note that the tire retailer fronts directly onto NW 18 Terrace.
MIA 184281245v2
• The property located at 1750 NW 17 Avenue, located approximately 75 feet from the
Property, consists of a florist and religious retailer, Botanica Riviera, with a surface
parking facility accessed through NW 18 Street.
• The property located at 1830 NW 17 Avenue, located approximately 150 feet from the
Property, consists of a food market and cafeteria, San Lorenzo Food Market, with
parking facilities located at the rear of the site.
• The property located at 1801 NW 17 Avenue, located approximately 150 feet from the
Property, abutting the Commercial Site to the East, contains a thrift store, Guadalupe
Dollar Store, Inc., with surface parking facilities located to rear of the Property and
adjoining a single family residence.
MIA 184281245v2
• The property located at 1860 NW 17 Avenue, located approximately 200 feet from the
Property, consists of a bails bond service establishment, Miami Dade Better Bail Bonds
with surface • arkin facilities located at the rear of the site.
As depicted above, the Property and proposed unified development site (consisting of the
Commercial Site and Property) abuts and is surrounded by single story commercial and retail
uses with surface parking facilities located to the rear of the sites. Additionally, these properties
contain access points not only at NW 17 Avenue but also through residential side streets. The
various commercial sites located in the immediate areas surrounding the Property front NW 17
Avenue and extend West with surface parking lots that abut residential neighborhoods, similarly
situated to the Property and the proposed retail development. Furthermore, many of said
commercial sites front and provide direct vehicular access at residential side. As further detailed
below, the Applicant proffers that the development of the proposed accessory parking lot at the
Property will be limited by access via the Commercial Site and will provide further protections
to the abutting residences through landscaping buffering and other requirements. The proposed
rezoning to permit accessory parking to support retail uses is consistent with the abutting
properties in the immediate area.
2. The zoning change request is only to the next intensity Transect Zone and
maintains the goals of Miami 21
MIA 184281245v2
The proposed rezoning to the next intensity transect zone is being requested in order to
accommodate accessory parking for the proposed retail uses on the Commercial Site which is
consistent with the abutting retail developments. Accessory parking supporting retail uses are
permitted at the Property under the proposed T4-L transect zone regulations and pursuant to the
zoning interpretation, dated February 16, 2012, as issued by the City of Miami's Zoning
Administrator and attached hereto to as Exhibit "B" (the "Zoning Interpretation").
Pursuant to the Zoning Administrator's interpretation, accessory parking is incidental and
subordinate to the principal use. The Zoning Interpretation finds that accessory or incidental
parking is permitted if the transect zone allows that specific use which will be supported by the
proposed accessory parking. However, the principal use must also comply with the requirements
of the particular Transect Zone.
In this case, the Applicant proposes accessory parking at the Property to support retail
uses at the Commercial Site pursuant to a unified development. As per Article 4, Table 3 of
Miami 21, the T6-8 transect zone permits the proposed retail use at the Commercial Site.
Second, pursuant to the Zoning Interpretation and the Use Chart of Miami 21, the proposed
accessory parking at the Property, which is incidental and subordinate to the retail structures on
the Commercial Site, comply with the T4-L transect zone regulations, as retail use is permitted
as of right in the T4-L transect zone.
Section 3 .6.3(b) of Miami 21 prohibits vehicular access through residential properties for
nonresidential uses. As such, vehicular access to the proposed parking area on the Property will
be primarily at NW 17th Avenue, through the Commercial Site, thereby reducing any vehicular
access through the neighboring residential neighborhood and minimizing any potential impact to
the near -by residential properties.
Article 9 of Miami 21 requires submission of a landscaping plan for approval by the
City for any new parking areas. Specifically, Section 9.7 of Miami 21 requires the provision of a
landscaping buffer between dissimilar land uses. As such, the proposed surface parking area at
the Property must incorporate specific and enhanced landscaping buffering at the rear property
line to reduce any impact to the single family homes located to the rear of the Property.
Accordingly, the restriction of vehicular access to the proposed retail development and
parking areas through the primary frontage, through the Commercial Site at NW 17 Avenue,
coupled with the landscaping buffering requirements of Article 9 of Miami 21, will serve to
mitigate any potential impacts to the single family residence located to the West of the Property.
3. Comprehensive Plan Amendment
The City's Future Land Use Map designates the Property as Duplex Residential ("DR").
The Applicant now proposes and hereby submits the enclosed Application for an amendment to
the City's Future Land Use Map of the City's Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan
("Comprehensive Plan") from "DR" to Low Density Restricted Commercial ("LDRC"). The
LDRC designation permits commercial uses including uses that "generally serve the daily
MIA 184281245v2
retailing and service needs of the public, typically requiring easy access by personal auto, and
often located along arterial or collector roadways" including general retail, restaurants, cafes and
other commercial uses which are consistent with the permitted uses under the T4-L Transect
Zone. Accordingly, the Applicant's proposed accessory parking at the Property to support retail
uses is permitted under the LDRC designation of the City's Comprehensive Plan. The abutting
properties to the East are designated Medium Density Restricted, Commercial and the properties
to the North are designated Restricted Commercial as depicted in Image 3 below. Accordingly,
the Comprehensive Plan change to LDRC is consistent with the land use designations in the
immediate surrounding areas.

4. Covenant Proposed by the Applicant will Ensure the use of the Property
remains Accessory Parking for the Commercial Site
Lastly, the Applicant will proffer a restrictive covenant to run with the land that will tie
the Property to the approved development and restrict the use of the Property to the proposed
accessory parking to support retail uses at the Commercial Site, attached hereto as Exhibit "C".
As such, the Property shall be restricted from the development of additional height, intensity and
density. This covenant will serve to further protect the surrounding residential uses.
5. Conclusion
In light of the foregoing, the proposed accessory retail parking use at the Property,
pursuant to the rezoning Application to T4-L and the Comprehensive Plan amendment to LDRC,
is appropriate due to the location of the site in a commercial area, is in scale with the surrounding
areas, is not contrary to the established land use pattern in the area, and is compatible with the
surrounding uses because NW 17th Avenue is a major thoroughfare consisting of mainly
commercial and retail uses with accessory parking facilities located at the rear. Furthermore, any
MIA 184281245v2
potential impacts to residential properties in the area posed by the proposed accessory retail
parking will be mitigated by the regulations governing and restricting vehicular access,
landscaping and other requirements of Miami 21. A voluntary covenant to be proffered by the
Applicant will further protect surrounding residential properties by restricting future
development of the Property to the proposed accessory parking use.
Pursuant to Article 7.1.2.8(c) (2) (g) of Miami 21, attached hereto as Exhibit "D", please
find an analysis of the general planning principles and goals and objectives of the City's
Comprehensive Plan finding that the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezoning
of the Property are in conformity with the Comprehensive Plan, the established land use pattern
for the adjacent properties in the area, and in scale with the needs of the neighborhood.
Specifically, the attached analysis supports the Applicant's proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendment and Rezoning as consistent with Miami 21's intent and the zoning and
comprehensive plan designations for the adjoining properties and neighborhood.
Enclosed please find the Comprehensive Plan Amendment Application, the Rezoning
Application, a check payable to the City for the associated filing fees for the Applications, and a
survey of the Property in connection with this submittal. If you require any additional
information or would like to discuss further this request, please contact me at 305-579-0737.
Thank you for your attention to and favorable consideration of this matter.

CITY OF MIAMI
OFFICE OF ZONING
MEMORANDUM
TO: Gilberto P� t tia, Attorney at Law
FROM: Barnaby inn,, Zoning Administrator
DATE: February 16, 012
RE: Zoning Interpretation
12-0001
This Zoning Interpretation is issued to clarify the procedures for accessory or incidental
parking.' There are properties throughout the City of Miami ("City") that have dual zoning.
Many of these properties have the principal use in one Transect Zone and the associated
accessory parking in a second Transect Zone. The issue presented for this Zoning
Interpretation is what requirements must a property comply with when its principal use is in
one Transect Zone and its accessory parking is in a separate Transect Zone.
Section 3.3.1 of Miami21 states that lots "assembled into one ownership that encompass more
than one Transect Zone shall be developed according to the corresponding Transect regulation
for each Lot." Accordingly, pursuant to Section 3.3.1, both Transect Zone requirements must
be complied. When accessory parking is located in a Transect Zone, it is only authorized ifit
complies with the requirements of that particular Transect Zone. Because accessory parking is
incidental and subordinate to the principal use, the principal use must also comply with the
requirements of the particular Transect Zone.
To illustrate the issue, consider a property that has dual zoning of both a T6-8-O Transect Zone
and a T4-R Transect Zone. Article 4, Table 3 of Miami21 indicates that general commercial
uses .are allowed. by right in a .T6-8-0 Transect Zone but strictly prohibited in a T4-R Transect
Zone. As Section 3.3.1 of Miarni21 indicates, both Transect Zone requirements must be
complied with in order to allow the principal use of a general commercial use. Because the
T4-R Transect Zone strictly prohibits general commercial uses, the accessory parking is
likewise prohibited.
There is a provision of Section 3.3.1 of Miami21 that arguably presents conflicting authority
on this issue. Specifically, Section 3.3.1 of Miami21 also states that "T4 Lots adjacent to T5 or
T6 Lots may provide parking for adjacent Lot uses, and shall follow all other T4 requirements
including Liner requirements. Access for such parking shall be provided only through the T4-
0, T5 or T6 Lot." An inference can be made that because this section refers to parking in a T4
Lot for the adjacent lot, parking is thus allowed regardless of whether the principal use is
allowed. This section,. however, must be read in conjunction with the remaining portions of
Miami21, including the above -cited portion of Section 3.3.1. Accordingly, if the actual use is
not allowed in the specific Transect Zone, the corresponding accessory parking is likewise not
Accessory parking is parking that is customarily incidental and subordinate to the principal use. The terms
_________ accessory_and_incidental_are_interchangeable_and-for--the-purposes_of-this-Zoning Interpretation, -the -term -accessory
arkin -shall be used —
Doc. No.: Docl (2) (2) (2) (5) (2)
allowed, The language concerning T4 lots is meant to solely address uses that are allowed in a
T4 Transect Zone.
In addition to the statutory construction analysis above, deference must also he paid to the
intent of Miami21 and the zoning atlas. Article 4, Table 1. of Miami21 indicates that T4
Transect Zones are "primarily residential urban fabric with a range of building types including
rowhouses, small apartment buildings, and bungalow courts." T6 Transect Zones, on the other
hand, "consists of the highest density and greatest variety of Uses." (Emphasis added).
Accordingly, the intent of Miami21 is to have lower impact commercial uses In a T4 Transect
Zone and keep it primarily residential. Parking for an associated use in a T6 Transect Zone
which is of a higher density and more variety does not comply with this intent.
In conclusion, accessory parking is only authorized in a Transect Zone if the principal use in
which the parking is associated is also allowed in the specific Transect Zone.2
This interpretation shall be final unless appealed to the Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board
within 15 days of the date of its issuance.

2 This Zoning Interpretation is limited to the applicability of Article 4, Table 3 to accessory parking. Assuming
the accessory parking is authorized, it must also comply with the remaining provisions of Miami21 including, but
—not limited-to,-Article-3-with-respeet to -heat island -effects, -Article 5-with-respect to -design and -location criteria,
and Article 9 with respect to landscaping requirements.
