RE: 240 SE 14 ST
Dear Ms, Alicia Garcia:
Pursuant to your letter dated July 11, 2018 requesting zoning verification for the above -mentioned
property, and in response to said request, please be advised of the following:
Exhibit B
EMILIO T. CONZALEZ, PhD.
City Manager
Foilo# : 01-4139-068-0010
The current zoning designation of the site is T6-8 (Urban Core Transect Zone). The Urban Cove
Zone consists of the highest Density and greatest variety of Uses, including Civic Buildings of
regional importance. A network of small blocks has Thoroughfares with wide Sidewalks, with
steady tree planting and Buildings set close to the Frontages with frequent doors and windows.
Pursuant to your specific inquiry regarding the conditions for relief present in the Declaration of
Restrictions related to the site recorded in the Public Records of Miami -Dade County at Official
Records Book 12000, Page 2469, please be advised of the following conclusions:
Section D of the Declaration of Restrictions related to the site provides that "if the zoning district of
the regulations applicable to all the properties on South Bayshore Drive between S.B. 14th Street
and S.E. 15th Road should change to permit any structure within such area to be used totally for
offices, banks, or commercial uses, or combinations thereof, or if the permitted. FAR applicable to
such area increases above that presently permitted, the subject property shrill be relieved of the
limitations contained herein which are more restrictive than the new district or regulations,"
In 1983, Zoning Ordinance 9500 was in effect and permitted a maximum FAR of 0.58 times the
gross lot area for the site and the surrounding area described in the covenant. Today, Miami 21
permits a Floor Lot Ratio ("FLR") of five (5) times the gross lot area, with the option of an
additional twenty-five percent (25%) through the Public Benefits Program for the site and the
surrounding area. In conclusion, the permitted Floor Area Ratio ("FAR") applicable to the area
described in the covenant has increased above the FAR permitted in 1983.
The T6-8-R zoning district permits commereial uses through the City's Warrant process, pursuant to
Article 4 Table 3 of Miami 21, The site, as well as the surrounding area depicted in the covenant,
are all designated as within the T6-8-R Transect Zone, Therefore, it is possible for the site to be
entirely commercial, which is depicted in the covenant as a condition for relief of its restrictions.
As analyzed above, both zoning conditions for relief as set forth in the Declaration of Restrictions
related to the site recorded in the Public Records of Miami -Dade County at Official Records Book
