WHEREAS, on October 22, 2009, the City of Miami ("City") adopted Ordinance No.
13114 as the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida ("Miami 21 Code"); and
WHEREAS, on January 26, 2012, the City adopted Ordinance No. 13307, which
modified regulations for Public Storage Facilities ("Facilities") providing additional flexibility to
such uses and removing the 2,500 feet distance separation requirements in T5, "Urban Center
Zones," and T6, "Urban Core Zones;" and
WHEREAS, on March 23, 2017, the City adopted Ordinance No. 13674 modifying
regulations for Facilities to require a distance separation requirement of a 2,500 feet radius from
another existing facility in T5, "Urban Center Zones," and T6, "Urban Core Zones;" and
WHEREAS, on June 11, 2020, the City adopted Ordinance No. 13906, which disallowed
Facilities in T5, "Urban Center Zones," and T6, "Urban Core Center Zones;" and
WHEREAS, Facilities are generally designed with a lack of architectural diversity and
inactive ground floors; and
WHEREAS, the lack of distancing requirements in the remaining Transect Zones allows
for the close proximity of Facilities which creates an adverse impact on the surrounding
community; and
WHEREAS, the design of Facilities should be in a manner that is in keeping with the
character and scale of the surrounding area; and
WHEREAS, the Miami 21 Code does not require bulk waste storage or compactors at
Facilities; and

WHEREAS, there has been an increase of illegal dumping within the immediate areas of
Facilities within the City; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that the increase in illegal dumping is due to the lack
of on -site bulk waste disposal available at Facilities; and

illegal dumping of trash and bulky waste, which will benefit the overall health, safety, and
welfare of residents within the City; and
WHEREAS, the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board at its meeting on November 20,
2019, following an advertised public hearing, adopted Resolution No. PZAB-R-19-049 by a vote
of eight to zero (8 - 0), Item No.2, recommending approval of this proposed Ordinance; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission has considered whether the proposed Ordinance will
further the goals, objectives, and policies of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, the
Miami 21 Code, and other City regulations; and
WHEREAS, due consideration has been given to the need and justification for the
proposed Ordinance, including changed conditions that make the passage of the proposed
Ordinance necessary; and
