ANALYSIS PLAT AND STREET COMMITTEE: At the September 6, 2018 Plat and Street Committee meeting, the Committee approved TRACT 23 (Vacation of Street), please see Attachment 3 — Resilience and Public Works Letter. Plat and Street Committee considerations are with respect to the four items below in making their recommendations to the Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board (PZAB). Criteria 1: Is it in the public interest, or would the general public benefit from the vacation of the rights of way or easement; per the City of Miami's Code of Ordinances, Sec. 55-15 - Vacation and closure of rights -of -way platted easements and emergency access easements by plat. Plat and Street The museum is being introduced for civic use and public benefit. The Committee Finding 1: property is an existing legal non -conforming structure with no existing parking. Parking spaces will be constructed within the vacated portion of Right of Way area for NW 22 Ter. The development will generate additional tax base to the City. The vacation will also shift the burden of street maintenance to the Property owner. Planning Department It is consistent with Miami 21, Article 4, Table 12 — Design Review Criteria, Analysis 1 "Parking Standards", minimize the impact of automobile parking and driveways on the pedestrian environment and adjacent properties by confining the ancillary parking for the Rubell Museum onsite within the vacated right of way. Planning Department Planning Department concurs with the Plat and Street Committee finding Finding 1: because the vacation and closure of this portion of Right of Way of NW 22 Ter allows for a unified property for future development. Furthermore, it will promote a "walkable" area within a predominantly industrially -designated area. Criteria 2: Plat and Street Committee Finding 2: Planning Department Finding 2: Criteria 3: Plat and Street Committee Finding 3: Planning Department Finding 3: Is the general public no longer using the rights of way or easement, including public service vehicles such as trash and garbage trucks, police, fire or other emergency vehicles? The vacated street does not connect to the west, only to the east. It has been fenced off for years due to security issues. Public service and emergency vehicles have access from the north side of the property. The Planning Department concurs with the Plat and Street Committee's Finding 2. Would there be no adverse effect on the ability to provide police, fire or emergency services? All services are accessed from the north side of the property. There is no adverse effect on the ability to provide police, fire or emergency services. The Planning Department concurs with the Plat and Street Committee's Finding 3. File ID# PZ-19-628 Vacation and Closure of NW 22 Ter for Tentative Plat — Track 23 Subdivision 5 Criteria 4: Would the vacation and closure of the Right of Way or easements have a beneficial effect on pedestrian and vehicular circulation in the area? Plat and Street The parking area is to be constructed within the vacated area, including Committee Finding 4: installations of landscaping. It's an improvement to the area that is currently not well maintained and not safe for the operation of the museum. Vehicular circulation will improve by the construction of the parking area. The pedestrian will be able to walk through the parking area. Planning Department It is consistent with Miami 21, Article 4, Table 12 — Design Review Criteria, Analysis 4: "Parking Standards": • Minimize the impact of automobile parking and driveways on the pedestrian environment and adjacent properties by confining the ancillary parking for the Rubell onsite within the vacated Right of Way. • Design landscaping or surface parking areas as buffers between dissimilar Uses. The Right of Way will be improved with landscaping by the Applicant as part of the adaptive reuse of the Property Planning Department Based on the findings from both the Plat and Street Committee and Staffs Finding 4: analysis of Miami 21's Design Review Criteria, this street closure application will improve the traffic circulation, minimize the need for off- street parking, and beautify the property through landscaping. Therefore, it is consistent with Criteria 4. D. CONCLUSION Per the Applicant's Letter of Intent, the closure and vacation of a portion of NW 22 Terr will allow for the relocation of the Rubell Museum, which will have both direct and indirect benefits by bringing in a cultural and educational asset to a predominately industrial zoned a neighborhood along with potentially bringing in additional business from local, regional, and international visitors. The Planning Department has concluded that the request for a vacation and closure of the portion of NW 22 Terrace satisfies the minimum requirements of Section 55-15 of the City Code.

Therefore, this application is also consistent with the Miami Neighborhood Comprehensive Plan, including Transportation Element, Policy TR-2.6.3: The City will in coordination with Miami -Dade Transit and FDOT develop, prioritize, and implement sidewalk and bicycle infrastructure improvements that are adjacent to transit routes/corridors and transit stations in order to improve connectivity between transit and other non - motorized modes of transportation while promoting the use of alternative travel modes.
