City of Miami Planning Department Division of Land Development Illustration 1: General location mom Ma© ecc.T? Qt j r:. Liberty Square is developed on 66.65 acre of land with one- and two-story row -style dwelling units. It was built in 1937 as one of the first public housing developments built in Miami over two properties identified as follows: the west parcel is generally 1415 NW 63 ST (Folio No.: 01-3114-009-0010) and the east parcel 1200 NW 62 Lane (Folio No.: 01-3114-002-0010). Illustration 2: Liberty Square addresses The Liberty Square housing development is more than 80 years old, and is in need of an update in design, typology, and building compliance with the current Florida Building Code, File ID#:4766 Page 2 of 10 City of Miami Planning Department Division of Land Development thus in 2015 the County issued a Request for Applications ("RFA") for the redevelopment of the affordable housing complex on the property known as Liberty Square. After a comprehensive procurement process, the County selected the developer to build a project that is expected to be transformative for the local community, providing a variety of residential, civic, and commercial uses. "The previous housing, constructed in the 1930s and occupied well past its life span, will be replaced with new, modern residences including multifamily, townhomes, and garden -style apartments. The Project will provide a community health facility, local grocery store, youth programming space, a community center, parks, and retail spaces. In addition to an increase in commercial activity very much needed in this area, the Project will leverage several Metrobus routes located adjacent to the Property to provide increased connectivity and mobility for residents of the community"%. To allow the incorporation of mixed -uses as proposed in the new project for Liberty Square, the rezoning of a portion of the land involved is required. The Liberty Square housing project is designated in its entirety with the "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" Future Land Use classification which allows up to 65 DU/acre, and with T4-R "General Urban Transect Zone -Restricted" which limit the Density to 36 DU/acre. In order to accommodate the requested T5-O zoning classification, the Applicant also submitted an application to amend the Future Land Use designation in the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) from "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" to "Medium Density Restricted Commercial".

The Background section of this report is hereby incorporated into the analysis and its corresponding criteria by reference: Criteria #1: Zoning changes may be made only to a lesser Transect Zone; within the same Transect Zone to a greater or lesser intensity; or to the next higher Transect Zone, or through a Special Area Plan, and in a manner which maintains the goals of the Miami 21 Code to preserve Neighborhoods and to provide transitions in density, and building heights. Analysis #1: The rezoning requests from T4-R to T5-O is considered successional to the next higher Transect Zone. Finding #1: The requests comply with the Code requirement to apply for a rezoning. File ID#:4766 Page 8 of 10 City of Miami Planning Department Division of Land Development Criteria #2: Pursuant to Miami 21 Code, Sec. 7.1.2.8 (c) (1): Except where the proposal for the rezoning of property involves an extension of an existing Transect boundary, no rezoning of land shall be considered which involves less than forty thousand (40,000) square feet of land area or two hundred (200) feet of street Frontage on one (1) street. Analysis #2: The application for the proposed rezoning complies with two of the lot size criteria for rezoning required by Miami 21 Code. The request involves more than forty thousand (40,000) square feet of land area and provides for more than two hundred (200) feet of street Frontage on one (1) street. Finding #2: The rezoning requests as presented comply with the Code requirement to apply for a rezoning. Criteria #3: Density, Intensity, and Uses, impact on surrounding areas. Analysis #3: Finding #3: Will the proposed zoning change relate to adjacent and nearby districts, and be within the scale and needs of the neighborhood? As shown in the tables provided in "Request to rezone T4-R to T5-O-Uses" above, the request will introduce a wide array of new uses within an area which are proposed in the development plan for Liberty Square. In addition, south site exists T5-O zoning designation, therefore the request provides transition of Density and Intensity. The requested rezoning represents continuity of density and intensity in the area. The change of zoning allots opportunity to produce a development in scale with the area that will not adversely impact the characteristic of the area. Staff deems this rezoning request as appropriate and consistent with current urban fabric of the area. The rezoning request, as presented, is consistent with the principles of Miami 21 Code. Criteria #4: Miami 21 Code, Sec. 2.1.2 Intent (a) The conservation goals include (2) Improving the relationship between low Density Residential neighborhoods and adjacent Commercial Corridors with appropriate transitions of Density and Height following the theory of the Transect. Analysis #4: The proposal for Liberty Square keeps the existing T4-R zoning designation to the north where the development abuts T3-L. The County requested a rezoning to the center and south portions of the project, which abuts an existing T5-O neighborhood and recognizes the importance of the Martin Luther King corridor represented by NW 62 Street. Given the properties located on the south of MLK Blvd. are designated T5-O, the request incorporates articulately the Liberty Square development within the File ID#:4766 Page 9 of 10 City of Miami Planning Department Division of Land Development neighborhood context, creating transition of Density and east, south and west. Finding #4: The request for rezoning is consistent with the principle provided by Miami 21 Code. Intensity to the north, of transitional zoning D.
