Subject: Chapter 4 Update: 1100 v. Miami 21
Issue?: 'Central commercial district'
City Clerk
• Current Ch.4 Sec. 4-2 defines 'Cer.traf commercial district as
o "That area defined as fotows: Beginning at the intersect'or. of Biscayne Bay
and the Miami River and foCow1r g the Miami River in a westerly direction to the
centerine of South Miami Avenue, and thence north along the said centerline of
South Miami Avenue to the centerline of S.W. Fourth Street, thence west along
said centerline of said S.W. Fourth Street to the west lot line extenaed of lot 16,
block 135N, Miami (A.L. Knowlton), thence north coinciding with the said
extended westerly lot line of lot 16 and continuing north coinciding with the
westerly lot lines of lots 16 through 18 and lois 1 through 3 of block 135N, and lots
8, 9 and 1 of block 134N to the FECRR thence northwesterly and thence north
along the FECRR to the centerline of N.W, Fifth Street, thence east along the said
centerline of N.W. Fifth Street to the centerline of North Mlaml Avenue, thence

Street, thence east along the centerline of N.E. Sixth Street as projected to
Biscayne Bay, and thence along the westerly shoreine of Biscayne Bay in a
southerly direction to The point of beginning."
• P&Z Update Sec. 4-2 eliminates the 'Central commercial district and defines an 'Urban
Central Business District' as:
o "Urban Central Business District (UCBD): Is intended to apply to the central
commercial, financial and office care of the metropolitan regon, The UCBD
contains high Intensity, high density multi -use development to include: retail;
professional and govemmenta: office uses; cultural, recreational and
entertainment faci ices; high density residential; hotels and motels; and
appropriate industrial actMtles. The boundaries for the UCBD are set forth in Exhibit
'A'"
• Background: fie 'Commercial central district' has historically been recognized as a
unique district within the Downtown Corridor. The new language expands the district
boundcries while homogenizing zoning code throughout and eliminating the parameters
that promote a Cafe District.
• Proposed Resolution/s:
1. Maintain defined boundaries of the 'Central comm..ercia' district.
,Alternately,
2. Insert folbwir .7 into P&Z Update Sec.4-8: peciaity Districts:
