Alfonso, City Manager, on behalf of the City of Miami Location: 460, 480, and 490 Northeast 61 Street, Miami, FL 33130 Commission District Commissioner Keon Hardemon- District 5 Net District Office: Upper East Side NET A. REQUEST Pursuant to Policy LU-1.6.3 of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, the subject proposal has been reviewed for a change to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) from "Medium Density Multifamily" Residential" to "Public Parks and Recreation" for properties at 460, 480, and 490 NE 61 ST Miami, FL. B. BACKGROUND FUTURE LAND USE INTERPRETATION: MCNP Policy LU-1.6.1 establishes future land use categories according to the 2020 Future Land Use Map and the "Interpretation of the Future Land Use Map." The "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" future land use category allows residential structures to a maximum density of 65 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. Supporting services such as community -based residential facilities (14 clients or less, not including drug, alcohol or correctional rehabilitation facilities) will be allowed pursuant to applicable state law; community -based residential facilities (15-50 clients) and day care centers for children and adults may be permissible in suitable locations. 1 Permissible uses within medium density multifamily areas also include commercial activities that are intended to serve the retailing and personal services needs of the building or building complex, small scale limited commercial uses as accessory uses, subject to the detailed provisions of applicable land development regulations and the maintenance of required levels of service for such uses, places of worship, primary and secondary schools, and accessory post -secondary educational facilities. 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 medium density multifamily 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). The primary intent of the "Public Parks and Recreation" designation 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 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. C. DISCUSSION: The subject area consists of three parcels totaling approximately 0.38 acres. The parcels are located on the south side of Northeast 61 Street within the block bounded by Northeast 5 Avenue on the east, Northeast 4 Court on the west and Northeast 60 Street to the south. The subject area is located within the Upper Eastside NET area. The abutting properties to the south and west have a future land use designation of "Public Parks and Recreation," and they make up "Eaton Park." The subject parcels are located within the Palm Grove Neighborhood Historic District but are not listed as addresses with contributing structures according to Resolution HEPB-2009-12. The only site with any improvement on it is located at 490 NE 61 St., which is a day care center. The subject site is depicted below in Image 1. 2 Image 1: Subject Site in Context 460 NE 61 ST 1111111 Rmtr imed Commmtrial k Light Industrial 480NE61ST 0 0.01 0.02 Miles Future Land Use Designations Pudic Pans and Recreation Single Farriy- Residential Low Density Multifamily Residential Medium Density Multifamily Residential - Medium Density Restricted Commercial - Rest icted Commercial Light Industrial �i Sidled Site Streets Parcels Policy PR-1.1.4 establishes the City's Level of Service for Parks, Recreation and Open Space such that 72 percent of the City's population will have barrier -free access by a 10- minute walk to a municipally -owned park. A ten-minute walk is defined as a one-half mile, barrier free distance on a safe pedestrian route. Eaton Park is located between two major roads of the City of Miami: Biscayne Boulevard and NE 2 Avenue. Morningside K-8 Academy and Toussaint L'ouverture Elementary are located within the half -mile walk shed of Eaton Park. Exhibit A is a map displaying the half -mile walk shed for the purposes of the analysis for this item. EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTERISTICS FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION Subject Properties: ZONING Subject Properties: Medium Density Multifamily Residential T4-R (General Urban -Restricted) Maximum 65 D.U. per acre Maximum 36 D.U. per acre Surrounding Properties: NORTH: Medium Density Multifamily Residential Maximum 65 D.U. per acre T4-R (General Urban -Restricted) Maximum 36 D.U. per acre 3 NORTHWEST: Restricted Commercial Maximum 150 D.U. per acre SOUTH: Public Parks and Recreation No Density is allotted for this Land Use SOUTHEAST: Low Density Multifamily Residential Maximum 36 D.U. per acre WEST: Public Parks and Recreation No Density is allotted for this Land Use EAST: Medium Density Multifamily Residential Maximum 65 D.U. per acre ANALYSIS T4-O Maximum 36 D.U. per acre CS (Civic Space Zone) No Density is allotted for this Land Use T4-R and T5-L Maximum density of 36 D.U. and 65 D.U. per acre, respectively CS (Civic Space Zone) No Density is allotted for this Land Use T4-R (General Urban -Restricted) Maximum 36 D.U. per acre Criteria 1 Any proposal to amend the City's Zoning Atlas that has been deemed to require an amendment to the Future Land Use Plan Map by the Planning Department, shall require a level of service (LOS) review and a finding from the Planning Department that the proposed amendment will not result in a LOS that falls below the adopted minimum standards described in Policy CI- 1.2.3. Analysis 1 The existing FLUM designation is Medium Density Multifamily Residential with permitted uses that range from residential with densities of up to 65 D.U./acre with some commercial activities permitted, such as retailing and professional offices. The proposed FLUM designation is Public Parks and Recreation —a use that conserves open and green space. Total building footprints and impervious parking area surfaces in parks of an acre or more may cover no more than 25 percent of the land area. This new land use permits no residential density or commercial activity. LOS standards for Potable Water, Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste Collection, Traffic Circulation, and School Concurrency are lessened. Finding 1 Staff finds the request is consistent with CI-1.2.3. Criteria 2 MCNP Policy PR-1.1.4 establishes that LOS for Parks, Recreation and Open Space is to provide a municipally -owned park within a ten-minute barrier -free walk to park entrances by 72 percent of the city's population as measured by GUS pedestrian network analysis. 4 Analysis 2 The following parks are within the half -mile walk -shed of Eaton Park: Legion Park; Lemon City Park; Little Haiti Park Project; Morningside Park; and Little Haiti Park. Lemon City Park and Morningside Park straddle the half -mile walk shed. Adding the subject parcels to Eaton Park expand capacity by 11 percent. Finding 2 Staff finds the request is consistent with PR-1.1.4. Criteria 3 MCNP Policy LU-1.6.12 states the City's land development regulations will direct recreational activities to areas of the city where facilities and services are available. Analysis 3 The subject parcels are midblock from Biscayne Boulevard and two blocks east of NE 2 Ave. Miami Dade Transit serves the neighborhood generously with bus service. Toussaint L'ouverture Elementary and Morningside K-8 Elementary are within walking distance from the subject parcels. Finding 3 Staff finds the request is consistent with LU-1.6.12. File ID 2641 is a companion rezone proposal for these parcels to implement the land use designation under Miami 21. D. CONCLUSION: The findings above support the request for Future Land Use Map amendment at this location. E. RECOMMEDATION: Based on the above background information, the Department of Planning and Zoning recommends approval of the request to change the FLUM designation for a change to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) from "Medium Density Multifamily" Residential" to "Public Parks and Recreation" for properties at 460, 480, and 490 NE 61 ST Miami, FL.
