Miami 21 allowed existing legally established Adult entertainment Uses to continue operations 20 years after its adoption. In order to operate after the initial 20 years, the Adult entertainment Use must be approved for an extension of the Time Limitation by Exception by the City Commission. The Adult entertainment Use has continued to operate from the effective date of Miami 21 Code (May 20, 2010) to present; therefore, the use expires on May 20, 2030.

No expansion of the Use or Structure is proposed under this Exception application.

On April 13, 2000, the City approved Ordinance No. 11916, which imposed certain limitations for specific Uses, such as Adult entertainment and, with the adoption of such Ordinance, the 'Gold Rush Adult Nightclub" became a legal nonconforming Use. On May 18, 2001, the Planning and Zoning Department issued a Class II Special Permit #01- 0123, to allow the operation of an Adult Nightclub, "Gold Rush", located within the "Entertainment Specialty District". In 2001, the Building Department issued Permit No. SD#01-5012635) to allow the construction of a Structure. On August 19, 2003, a Certificate of Use (CU# 032546) was issued to allow Gold Rush Adult Nightclub to operate within the Structure. Miami Dade County records show that in 2013, the Applicant acquired the property operated by Gold Rush Nightclub and remodeled it to accommodate two distinct establishments. Touche Tavern (on the rooftop of the structure located at 15 NE 11 Street), and Ell even Miami Adult Nightclub, (on the ground floor and mezzanine of 29 NE 11 Street).

As a result, the Applicant sought to enclose the rooftop terrace to mitigate any noise generated from the subject site. On August 28, 2017, the Office of Zoning determined that the Applicant's request to: 1) enclose and enlarge the rooftop terrace was an expansion of a legal nonconforming Structure; and 2) extend the Adult entertainment Use to the terrace, required two separate Exceptions pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.2.3(b)(1), Article 7, Section 7.2.6(c)(1)(b), and a Waiver. pursuant to Section 5.6.1(g), of the Miami 21 Code.

C. MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN In the Future Land Use Map (FLUM), the subject site is designated "General Commercial' with an "Urban Central Business District" (UCBD) Overlay, which allows a maximum density of 150 dwelling units per acre. Areas designated as "General Commercial' allow all activities included in the ''Restricted Commercial" designations, as well as wholesaling and distribution activities that generally serve the needs of other businesses; generally, require on and off-loading facilities; and benefit from proximity to industrial areas. These commercial activities include retailing of second hand items, automotive repair services, new and used vehicle sales, parking lots and garages, heavy equipment sales and service, building material sales and storage, wholesaling, warehousing, distribution and transport related services, light manufacturing and assembly and other activities whose scale of operation and Land Use impacts are similar to Uses described above. Multifamily residential structures of a density equal to High Density Multifamily Residential, are allowed subject to the detailed provisions of the applicable land development regulations. Properties designated as "General Commercial' in the Urban Central Business District (UCBD) are allowed a maximum floor lot ratio (FLR) of 37.0 times the net lot area of the subject property. Staff has found that the existing Adult entertainment Use is compatible with the mix of uses and development in the neighborhood. By allowing the extension of the Time Limitation for the legal nonconforming Use, the use maintains its operations and enhances the variety of entertainment venues available in the area. in addition, pursuant to the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP), Policy L.U-1.3.15, the "City will continue to encourage a development pattern that enhances existing neighborhoods, by developing a balanced mix of Uses including areas for employment, shopping, housing, and recreation in close proximity to each other'. Furthermore, the Urban Central Business District (UCBD) identifies that this area,"... shall contain high intensity, high density multi -use development to include. retail; professional and Club El Leven I PZ-19-649 Page 3 of 10 THIS DOCUMENT IS A SUBSTITUTION TO ORIGINAL.

ANALYSIS The following is a review of the requested two Exceptions, pursuant to Miami 21 Code, Article 7, Section 7.2.3(b)(1) and Article 7, Section 7.2.6 (c)(1)(b) and a Waiver pursuant to Miami 21 Code, Section 5,6.1(g). Exception 1: The first Exception, pursuant to Article 7, Section 7,2.3(b)(1) entitled "Alterations and Expansion of Nonconforming Structures" of the Miami 21 Code, is to allow for alterations of less than 50-percent of an existing nonconforming commercial Structure on a site zoned "T6-60A-0", Criteria: Alterations which enlarge the nonconformity of a nonconforming Structure to an extent of less than 50-percent of the total square footage of the nonconforming Structure may be permitted by Exception from the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board (PZAB). Analysis: The Applicant seeks to add 3,616 square feet of enclosed Structure where the original Structure contained 15,997 square feet, which is an enlargement of approximately 23-percent. The proposed alteration of the existing nonconforming structure is below the 50-percent threshold as per the Code criteria and the request will not further extend the vertical footprint of the existing nonconforming structure.

Exception 2: The second Exception is a request pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.2.6 (c) (1) (b) entitled "Replacement and Expansion of Structures that Contain Nonconforming Use" of the Miami 21 Code, to allow for alterations where an alteration of a Structure containing a nonconforming Use is less than 50-percent of the square footage of the Structure at the time of alteration, on a site zoned Urban Core Transect Zone Open "T6-60A-0". Criteria: Alterations to the extent of less than 50-percent of the square footage of a Structure containing a nonconforming Use may be permitted by Exception from the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board (PZAB). Analysis: The Applicant proposes to remove, replace and extend a legal nonconforming Structure to accommodate a legal nonconforming Use on the rooftop venue. The existing interior building area of the Touche Tavern is comprised of approximately 2,504 square feet. The existing interior ground floor and mezzanine venue, operated by El 1 even Miami are approximately 13,493 square feet. The combined interior area of the existing building is approximately 15,997 square feet. As previously stated, the interior area of the existing building is approximately 15,997 square feet. The Applicant proposes to expand the Nightclub Use into the rooftop area for a total of 6,634 square feet. For that reason, the Applicant proposes for the replacement and expansion of a legal nonconforming Structure on the rooftop venue of a total of 3,616 square feet. The extent of the alteration of a legal nonconforming structure containing a legal nonconforming Use is for a total of 23-percent, an increase of less than 50-percent of the total square footage of the legal nonconforming Structure, which is below the threshold as per the above criteria. Waiver: As part of this application for the two Exceptions, a Waiver was submitted pursuant to Section 5.6.1(g), to reduce a front setback to match the dominant ground level setback of the block. The required front setback of 10 feet is required on the eastern frontage facing NE Miami Court and on the southern frontage facing NE 11 Street. The applicant proposes a zero foot setback for the new rooftop enclosure. Criteria: Where the Property to be developed abuts a Structure other than a Sign, a Waiver may be granted so the proposed Structure matches the ground level dominant setback of the block and its context. Analysis: The Applicant proposes to enclose and extend a portion of a Structure on the rooftop of a legal nonconforming building. Article 3, Section 3.3.5, indicates that when a property to be developed abuts an existing Building, a Waiver may be granted, so that the proposed Building matches the ground level dominant Setback of the Block and its Context. As the proposed alteration on the rooftop of the existing nonconforming Structure matches the ground level dominant Setback of the block, this Waiver request is in harmony with the neighborhood context.
