BACKGROUND
Watson Island is an entirely man-made spoil island created of dredge material from
government cut; located in Biscayne Bay, Watson Island comprises approximately 86
acres in area of which approximately 60 acres are designated "Public Parks and
Recreation".
Watson Island is designated "Public Parks and Recreation", except for a small northwest
portion located south of the causeway, which had "Restricted Commercial" and Major
Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, and Utilities" Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
designations, where the Island Garden project has been proposed. (See graphics
attached)
Watson Island has been the subject of different planning instruments over time. The
current planning instrument is the "Watson Island Policy Plan" (1996) which states that
"...Any activities and services, described in the plan, must be comfortably accommodated
within the land use map designations currently in place on Watson Island..." "All future
development must be consistent with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan under
the categories of recreation and restricted commercial Designations"2
Per the Watson Island Policy Plan:
"Watson Island was originally deeded to the City of Miami by the State of
Florida in 1919. The island has remained largely undeveloped for seventy
years, serving primarily as open recreational space and a transportation
terminal for seaplanes, helicopters, and an airship (until 1980). Additionally
the island serves as home to a number of activities which serve to
enhance the quality of life in the region, including a public marina and
service facility, two boat clubs, a public Japanese garden, recreational
fields, a small heliport, and a seaplane terminal. The future of the island
will see the enhancement and addition of public facilities within the areas
outlined in this policy plan and consistent with the Miami Neighborhood
Comprehensive Plan."
The evolution of Watson Island has been consistent with the current plan in place. At this
time it is necessary to rebuild the heliport and seaplane facilities deemed as pre-existing

services on the island, with vested rights under Subsection 380.06(2), F.S, and this
request for a Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment is meant to accommodate them
within the appropriate FLUM designation.
In 1997 an Interlocal Agreement was reached between the City of Miami and the Miami
Sports and Exhibition Authority, leasing to the Authority the subject portion of land in
Watson Island, for the purpose of establishing a seaplane and helicopter facility.
In 2002 the City and the Authority issued a Request for Proposal for operators for the
Watson Island Aviation and Visitors Center, also known as the Watson Island Air
Transportation Facility. Following the RFP process Linden Airport Services
Corporation was selected as a tenant.
In 2005, pursuant to Resolution No. 05-458, the City Commission authorized a Joint
Participation Agreement (JPA) No.2 between the City and FDOT in the amount of one
million dollars ($ 1,000,000) for the development of the heliport and the seaplane base.
In 2007 the City Manager was authorized to allocate the matching funds in the amount
of one million dollars ($ 1,000,000) for the previously approved JPA No.2.
In 2010 the City obtained approval of the Airport Layout Plan and Narrative Report of
the Watson Island Air Transportation Facility from the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT), subject to certain conditions which the tenant must comply.
Table 1 show the FLUM amendments and rezoning that have taken place on Watson
Island over time to make feasible the activities as planned, and as the same time make
them comply with the applicable Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) and
the zoning code.

FUTURE LAND USE
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) established future land use categories
according to the 2020 Future Land Use Map and the "Interpretation of the Future Land
Use Map."
"Public Parks and Recreation: The primary intent of this land use classification is to
conserve open space and green spaces of a park while allowing access and uses which
will not interfere with the preservation of any significant environmental features which may
exist within the park.
This land use designation allows only open space and park uses with recreational and
cultural uses where the total building footprints and impervious parking area surfaces in
parks of one (1) acre of more may cover no more than 25% of the park land area (See
15-006721 u
Page 4 of 8

Planning and Zoning Department
Division of Land Development
related Policy PR-2.1.3.). Both passive and active recreational uses shall be permitted
including but not limited to nature trails, interpretive centers, picnic areas, playgrounds,
canoe trails and launches, small concession stands, restrooms, gyms, swimming pools,
athletic fields, cultural facilities, marine and marina facilities and other facilities supporting
passive and active recreational and cultural uses.
Lands under this designation with specific qualities that make them desirable for
commercial photography shall be allowed to be used in this manner conditionally, and only
when it is determined that conducting such commercial photography will not endanger
significant environmental features within the area. [Added 3/23/99 by Ordinance 11782.]"3
Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities: Areas designated
as "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities" allow 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 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."4
ANALYSIS
The MCNP 2020 Future Land Use Map designation of "Major Institutional, Public Facilities,
Transportation and Utilities" category allows "Civic Institutional" Transect Zone uses.
These Civic Institutional uses are considered appropriate and consistent with this
underlying land use.

Criteria 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.
Analysis The proposed designation to the "Major Institutional, Public Facilities,
Transportation and Utilities" land use is consistent with the character of
the island. Aircraft uses have been historically associated with Watson
Island. The proposed designation will facilitate the operation of the
heliport, thereby promoting economic development and the efficient use
of land.
Finding Staff finds the request consistent with Goal LU-1
Criteria Goal PR-2: Preserve and enhance existing parks and recreation
facilities.
Objective PR-2.1: Protect existing park land.
Policy PR-2.1.1: The City has a no -net -loss policy for public park land
and will adopt procedures to this effect for park land in the City Zoning
Ordinances, as described in the 2007 Parks and Public Spaces Master
Plan. These will allow only recreation and cultural facilities to be built on
park land, will limit building footprint on any such land, will require that
conversion of park land for any other purposes be subject to public
procedures, and replace the converted park land with land similar in
park, recreation or conservation value in terms of usefulness and
location.
Analysis In order to comply with the restriction imposed by this policy, the city is
submitting companion items (File ID #: 15-006721u1, 15-00672zc1, and
15-00672zc), which proposes the designation of certain lands laying
within the City's municipal boundaries that are currently not designated
on the City's future land use map. These lands are further described
below, and will have a FLUM designation of Public Parks and
Recreation, as well as Civic Space Zones (CS) zoning classification.
With the approval of these companion items, the city not only will
15-006721 u

preserve the existing parks and recreation acreage inventory, but will
increase this classification in approximately 3.38 ± acres.

Finding Staff finds the request consistent with Goal PR-2, Objective PR-
2.1, and Policy PR-2.1.1
Criteria Policy PR-3.2.10: The City shall continue to ensure that park and
recreational lands open to the public are included in redevelopment
projects for Watson Island and will monitor the project after construction
to ensure continued public access without any requirements for the
public to make purchases or any other barriers to open public use.
Analysis The proposed improvement and updating of the existing seaplane base
and heliport on the subject property, which has been present on Watson
Island for over seven (7) decades.
Finding Staff finds the request consistent with Policy PR-3.2.10
Criteria Policy PR-5.1.4: The City will continue to implement innovative
management and maintenance alternatives designed to minimize
operating and maintenance costs while not reducing the extent and
quality of programs or adversely affecting the physical condition of park
facilities. This will be done through establishment of core services
according to level of benefit to the community, identifying costs and
potential revenues, improving management accountability, establishing
preventive maintenance and replacement programs, establishing
formal policies and systems for working with groups that sponsor
programs that use City facilities, and strengthening support services.
Analysis The lease and terms in place for most of Watson Island are designed to
implement innovative management and maintenance alternatives,
designed to minimize operating and maintenance costs while not
15-006721 u

City of Miami
reducing the extent and quality of programs or adversely affecting the
physical condition of park facilities.
Finding Staff finds the request consistent with Policy PR-5.1.4
CONCLUSION
The Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment, as requested, is in compliance with the
related Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) policies, goals, and objectives,
specifically with the city "no -net -loss" policy.
The herein proposed "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, and Utilities"
matches with the "Civic Institutional" (CI) Transect Zone proposed for the subject property
in the companion item (File ID No. 15-00672zc) which has been determined as the
appropriate zoning classification, for the location where the heliport and seaplane base
uses are going to be placed as granted with vested rights under Subsection 380.06(2), of
the Florida Statutes.
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning and Zoning Department recommends
APPROVAL of the amendment as presented.
