AN ORDINANCE OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION AMENDING
ORDINANCE NO. 13114, THE ZONING ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MIAMI,
FLORIDA, AS AMENDED, BY AMENDING ARTICLE 6, TABLE 13, ENTITLED
"SUPPLEMENTAL REGULATIONS", TO ALLOW A DISTANCE SEPARATION
REQUIREMENT FOR PUBLIC STORAGE FACILITIES; CONTAINING A
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, on October 22, 2009, Ordinance No. 13114, the Zoning Ordinance of the
City of Miami, Florida was adopted ("Miami 21 Code"); and
WHEREAS, demand for Public Storage Facilities has continued to increase due to the
additional density in the Urban Core; and
WHEREAS, Public Storage Facilities are generally designed with a lack of architectural
diversity and inactive ground floors; and
WHEREAS, although existing regulations allow for more architectural diversity, the lack
of distancing requirements allows the close proximity of Public Storage Facilities which creates
an adverse impact on the surrounding community; and
WHEREAS, the design of a Public Storage Facility should be in a manner that is in
keeping with the character and scale of the surrounding area; and
WHEREAS, Public Storage Facilities should have ground floor retail along principal
frontages with a minimum of fifty percent (50%) of the proposed ground floor retail use
within the structure unrelated to the Public Storage Facility in order to promote activity on a
site which would otherwise be inactive; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that modifications to the Miami 21 Code are
required to allow a minimum distance of 2,500 feet between Public Storage Facilities and to
activate the ground floor along principal frontages in an effort to preserve and respect
various characteristics found throughout the City of Miami ("City") including neighborhoods
and commercial corridors; and
WHEREAS, the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board ("PZAB") at its meeting of
February 15, 2017, following an advertised hearing, adopted Resolution No. PZAB-R-17-015 by
a vote of nine -to -zero (9-0), recommending approval of this item; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission, after careful consideration of this matter, deems it
advisable and in the best interest of the general welfare of the City and its residents to amend
the Miami 21 Code as hereinafter set forth;
