PROJECT ADDRESS: Approximately 240 SE 14th Street FOLIO NUMBER: 01-4139-068-0001 COMMISION DISTRICT: District 2 NET OFFICE: Downtown GENERAL INFORMATION: REQUEST: Pursuant to Article 5 and Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 of Ordinance 13114, as amended, the applicant is requesting a change of zoning for a single parcel located at 240 SE 14th Street. The proposed change of zoning for a portion of the subject parcel is from T6-8-R (Urban Core Transect Zone Restricted) to T6-48a-O (Urban Core Transect Zone Open). (Complete legal description is on file with the Hearing Boards Section). BACKGROUND: The subject area consists of one (1) parcel located on the south side of SE 14th Street, and is located on an irregularly shaped block bounded by SE 14th Street on the north, Brickell Bay Drive on the East, SE 15th Street on the South, and Brickell Avenue on the West. The subject parcel is split zoned with T6-8-R on the eastern portion and T6-48a-O on the northwestern portion. The abutting properties to the east are zoned T6-8-R and T6-48a-O. The area proposed to be rezoned is located within the Downtown NET area, and Commission District 2. Most of the area is fully developed with a high density, high intensity character. 14-©0655zc Page 1 of 3 NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS: FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION Subject Property: Restricted Commercial and Brickell Residential Density Increase Area; Maximum of 500 D.U. per acre Surrounding Properties NORTH: Restricted Commercial and RDIA Maximum of 500 D.U. per acre SOUTH: High Density Multifamily Residential and RDIA Maximum of 500 D.U. per acre EAST: High Density Multifamily Residential and RDIA Maximum of 500 D.U. per acre ZONING Subject Property: T6-8-R; Urban Core Transect Zone Restricted and T6-48a-O; Urban Core Transect Zone Open Surrounding Properties NORTH: T6-48a-O; Urban Core Transect Zone Open SOUTH: T6-8-R; Urban Core Transect Zone Restricted EAST: T6-8-R; Urban Core Transect Zone Restricted WEST: Restricted Commercial and RDIA WEST: T6-48a-O; Urban Core Transect Maximum of 500 D.U. per acre Zone Open ANALYSIS: Following the above referenced `Background", this proposal for rezoning is taking in consideration criteria set forth in Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 (a)(3) & (f)(2) of Miami 21: Rezone of 240 SE le Street from T6-8-R to T6-48a-O. Criteria: For rezoning: A change may be made only to the next intensity Transect Zone or by a Special Area Plan, and in a manner which maintains the goals of the Miami 21 Code to preserve Neighborhoods and to provide transitions in intensity and building heights. Analysis: Previously under Zoning Ordinance 11000, North Miami Avenue south of NE 42nd Street was zoned 0 (Office) with an abutting SD-5 (Brickell Avenue Area Residential -Office District) overlay. The intent of these designations were to promote the use of structures to facilitate permanent and transitory residential facilities such as hotels and motels, general office uses, clinics and laboratories and limited commercial activities incidental to the principal uses. In addition, 14-00655zc Page 2 of 3 building height for Office and SD-5 uses were unlimited. Within the Office zone, building height for residential use were limited by R-4 zoning regulations, while within the SD-5 residential building height was unlimited; Under the Miami 21 Code, the parcels in this area have been rezoned into two zoning categories; T6-8-R and T6-48a-O. Finding: The current FLUM designation is "Restricted Commercial" with a "Brickell Residential Density Increase Area" of 500 du/ac. Under Zoning Ordinance 11000 the parcel was zoned "Office" (0) with an abutting SD-5 (Brickell Avenue Area Office -Residential District) overlay, permitting uses and building heights much greater than the Miami 21 designation of T6-8-R. CONCLUSION: The proposed change of zoning is compatible with the density and intensity of the adjacent Transect Zones. Staff finds the change of zoning request to be consistent with the goals of the Miami 21 Code as it is compatible with the surrounding zoning district, and the current zoning designation is likely the result of a scrivener's error. RECOMMENDATION: Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 of Ordinance 13114, as amended on the aforementioned findings, the Planning & Zoning Department recommends Approval of the proposed rezoning as presented.
