FILE ID: 15-00672zc1
APPLICANT: Daniel J. Alfonso on behalf of the City of Miami
PROJECT ADDRESS: Portion of Tract D of Watson Island ZIP: 33133
NET DISTRICT OFFICE: Downtown NET COMMISSION DISTRICT: District 2
REQUEST:
The proposal subject to this staff report seeks to assign a zoning classification of certain
CS (Civic Space Zone) to a currently undesignated area identified as the north portion of
Hobie Island Beach Park, which is the western portion of the Rickenbacker Causeway.
Rickenbacker Causeway is a real property owned by Miami -Dade County, identified with
the Folio No.: 0142080000020, and assigned with the address commonly known as
3301 Rickenbacker Causeway. (Legal description on file at the Hearing Boards Office).
The subject property is an irregular tract of land of approximately 8.69 acres which is
part of a bigger one identified as Rickenbacker Causeway, as depicted in the following

BACKGROUND
The portion of Rickenbacker Causeway located within the City of Miami connects main
land with Virginia Key, and its western portion is also known as Hobie Island.
The north portion of Hobie Island has no Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation in
the Miami Conservation neighborhood Plan (MCNP) of the City of Miami hence it has no
zoning classification, however, in the "Existing Land Use Map" of Miami -Dade County it
is assigned with "Parks, Preserves, Conservation Areas" designation.
Upon consultation made by the City of Miami, the Miami -Dade County confirmed that
they has no objection to the municipality designation of this area with the Future Land
Use Map (FLUM) of "Public Parks and Recreation", and accordingly the designation of
the zoning classification of Civic Space (CS) Transect Zone.
ANALYSIS
Given the surrounding zoning designation of the subject property, it is timely to mention
the safeguard provisions of Miami 21 Code in Section 7.1.2.8 Amendment to Miami 21
Code (2) "When a CI zoned property ceases to be used for Civic functions, the
successional rezoning is determined by identifying the lowest Intensity Abutting Transect
Zone, and rezoning to that Zone's next higher Intensity Zone".
Miami 21 Code does not contemplate zoning changes coming from CS (Civic Space
Zone) to a different Transect Zone as a consequence of the limitation imposed by the
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) in its 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..."
The limitation of the aforementioned policy is being resolved by the companion items 15-
006721u and 15-006721u1 which combined generates public parks land net increase of
3.38 ±acres, as follow:

CONCLUSION:
Staff finds the zoning request is consistent with the goals of the Miami 21 Code as the
request is compatible with the surrounding zoning districts.
Given the surrounding zoning designation of the subject property (CS), it is timely to
reiterate the safeguard provisions of Miami 21 Code in Section 7.1.2.8 Amendment to
Miami 21 Code (2) "When a CI zoned property ceases to be used for Civic functions, the
successional rezoning is determined by identifying the lowest Intensity Abutting Transect
Zone, and rezoning to that Zone's next higher Intensity Zone".
RECOMMENDATION
Based on the aforementioned findings, the Planning & Zoning Department recommends
approval of the request as presented.
