Renita Ross Samuels -Dixon comments to
City of Miami Commission on
PZ.9.3001 - Neighborhood Conservation District (NCD-2 and NCD-3)
Zoning Ordinance for Coconut Grove
February 28, 2019
Reasons why the Proposed NCD-2 and NCD-3 Should Not Pass for First Reading:
5
1. The City, as required by, 3.12.2(c)(4), has not provided evidence that 51% of the owners within NCD-2 were
Noticed of changes to its Boundaries nor deleting streets; the 8 people that came to the meetings from NCD-2
were Tenants (see Article 1.1; Renita's p 4)
2. .NCD-2 property owners did not request a change of its Intent (2.1 in proposed NCD-2) to allow the NCD-3 to
expand its Boundary to include NCD-2; nor were we Noticed. (See map dated 8/8/2017).
3. The Miami Bahamas Cultural Preservation Fund, Inc. is submitting survey results from 31 (thirty-one) NCD-2
Residential Property Owners, who we reached out to, door to door. None of the owners were contacted by
Community Organizations, The City, or our Commissioner and his Staff.
4. NCD-2 property owners did not request or anticipate NCD-3 would seek governance over NCD-3 and nor were we
Noticed by the Coconut Grove Village Council of NCD-3's intent and purpose to do so. (See Renita's page 5 in
yellow highlight);
,5.
6.
Why didn't The Planning Department hire (DPZ & Company) Duany Plater-Zyberk & Company to perform an
Existing Code Analysis (as they did in 2006, when looking at replacing the 11000 Code with Miami 21); or at least
someone of their caliber? Without this Analysis these proposed changes can do irreparable harm to my property
values, which I am noticing now; and reduce the size of home to be rebuilt if a catastrophic storm hits and destroys
my property. Not to mention, without this analysis the City and Our Commissioners are negating its Citizen's
Property Rights. (See attached first page of East Quadrant).
The City of Miami Planning and Zoning Department never Noticed NCD-2 owners about "Diminishment" as
shown on the Proposed NCD-2 and Proposed NCD-3 Boundary Maps: "Minimum Lot Size after "Diminishment"".
See Proposed Boundary Map Diagram A2.1 and Diagram A3.1 (Renita's pps 4 and 25) and February 16, 2018 -
DRAFT Minimum Lot Sizes Map and Proposed Public Meeting Dates.
7. We are aware of the dire need for Affordable and Workforce Housing in NCD-2; and those were the residents that
were focused on when planning the proposed NCD-2 and NCD-3 Rewrite., Amendment. However, Our
Commissioner neglected to ensure the NCD-2 Residential Property Owners were properly informed by tagging
flyers on doors, pulling property rolls to ensure each property owner in NCD-2 was notified.
Voting without Owner representation and Proper Zoning Analysis
should not be allowed by the City of Miami Commission.

NOTE
The following is an analysis of Ordinance 11000, the current zoning
ordinance of the City of Miami. This analysis of the existing code is in-
tended to illustrate the present regulatory framework which has estab-
lished expectations for building development in Miami. This analysis
will in turn inform the drafting of the new form based code and facilitate
the transition form old to new.
The analysis of these regulations does not address all aspects of the
existing Zoning Ordinance, as that is hardly possible. For instance
Special Districts provide a variety of modifiers to the basic zoning
categories described which are too numerous to completely illustrate
below. Special provisions contained in the special districts include:
increases in FAR; height restrictions; specialized parking provisions,
and -open -space requirernents;-among others
LEGEND
Analysis sheets contain text distinguished by a font color other
than black for emphasis. Wherever color text occurs it is meant
to indicate one of the following:
More restrictive than previous zoning designation
More permissive than previous zoning designation
Changed from previous district (not necessarily more or less restric-
tive)
DEFINITIONS
Throughout the analysis section certain terms of art appear in
bold text. Below is an explanation for these terms.
NLA (Net Lot Area):
The total area within the lot lines, excluding any street rights -of -way or
other required dedications.
GLA (Gross Lot Area):
The net area of the lot, as defined herein, plus half of adjoining street
rights -of -way and seventy (70') feet of any other public open space
such as parks, lakes, rivers, bays, public transit right-of-way and the
like. For areas included in applicable Special Districts (SD-5, 6, 7, 10,
11, 14, 16), the gross lot area shall include net area of the lot plus half
of adjoining street rights -of -way and ninety (90') feet of any other public
open space such as parks, lakes, rivers, bays, public transit right-of-
way and the like. In both cases, where such space adjoins lots on two
(2) adjacent sides, the area thus added shall include the area required
to complete the gap otherwise left at the intersection.
FAR (Floor Area Ratio):
The amount of floor area that may be developed on a given property
expressed as a multiplier of the GLA (gross lot area). The ratio of floor
area per GLA.
EX ISI IN C-C-O DEAN ALY-SI S
ZONING ANALYSIS
PROW (Public Right of Way):
Land under direct jurisdiction of a governmental agency designated for
improvement, or improved, as a means for public mobility.
BUILDABLE AREA:
The portion of a lot remaining after required yards have been provided.
Buildings may be placed in any part of the buildable area, but limita-
tions on percent of the lot which may be covered by buildings may
require open space within the buildable area.
LDR (Low Density Residential):
Low density residential districts include (R-1) single family residential
and (R-2) duplex residential.
