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 OFFICE OF ZONING 444 S.W. 2nd Avenue, 4111 Floor / Miami, Florida 33130 / Phone: (305) 416-1499 Fax (305) 416-2156 Mailing Address: P.O.
