Hi Henry.
As I commented with you I'm a 100% for the recovery of the "zoning T48" for
Costa Bella Association Inc. and for the rest of the block affected by the "red
lining" that downgraded us from T48 to T8. As you know the building where I
have been living for 29 years, has "lost" 13 floors, with the downgrading zoning,
in total 171 apartments.
So I reiterate the need to recover the T48 zoning for our building and for the
rest of the block, on Brickell Bay Drive, between SE 14 St and 15th Road,
Miami F1 33131.
Thank you
Joaquin Perez, President

RE: Zoning of Property Located on 1402 Brickell Bay Drive, Miami, Florida
Dear Mayor Suarez:
The Commodore Bay Condominium Association, Inc., located at 1402 Brickell Bay Drive,
Miami, Florida (the "Property") within the City of Miami (the "City"), will be seeking to bring the
Property's zoning designation into conformity with the surrounding Brickell area and its
Ordinance 11000 zoning designation.
Brief Zoning History. The Property was platted in 1914 as part of the Amended Plat of
Point View, recorded in the Official Records of Miami -Dade County at Plat Book 2, Page 93. While
it is true that the Point View area, now Brickell Bay Drive, was initially developed with large single-
family homes, over time the area was developed into a high -density residential area. In 1990,
Ordinance 11000 rezoned the Property to permit multi -family high -density residential (R-4). The
R-4 Zoning District allowed for a maximum density of one hundred and fifty (150) units per acre.
Building height was based on the width of the abutting road right-of-way. The allowable floor
area ratio (FAR) in R-4 was a maximum of 1.72 times the gross lot area.
Under the Ordinance 11000 Zoning Code, the Commodore Bay Condominium was
constructed as a multi -family high -density residential development in 1994. In 2010, Miami 21
downzoned the Commodore Bay Condominium to T6-8R Transect Zone. This Transect limits
height to eight (8) stories (up to twelve (12) stories with Public Benefits). As a result of the
downzoning, all of the properties located along Brickell Bay Drive were excluded from the high -
density residential designation of the neighboring properties. The area north and west of the
Property is designated T6-48A-O and the area south, which was also previously zoned R-4, is
designated T6-24A-R. See Figure 1 and Figure 2 below. Accordingly, the properties located along
Brickell Bay Drive, such as the Commodore Bay Condominium, have been unfairly excluded from
the shift in zoning and permissible uses of the greater Brickell area.

Conclusion. The Commodore Bay Condominium Association would like the zoning
designation of the Property to comply with the greater Brickell area and surrounding
properties. Please feel free to reach me by email at nicyoungl@gmail.com should you have
any questions or concerns regarding our request.
