Beginning in August of 2018, a group of stakeholders of the Neighborhood met to discuss potential
improvements to the Neighborhood. In September of 2018, this group of stakeholders of formed the Wynwood
Community Enhancement Association (WCEA), the Neighborhood's primary neighborhood association. Over the
next several months, this group worked together to develop a community vision plan that served as the
foundation for this effort. the November 21, 2019, the Miami City Commission passed a resolution in support of
the effort which was unanimously approved. That resolution directed the City Manager to review the Wynwood
Norte Community Vision Plan and develop implementation tools, policies, and regulations with the assistance of
the appropriate City of Miami staff and to make a final presentation to the City Commission for its consideration
and further action.
Beginning in January 2020, the City's Planning Department began leveraging an existing tool called a
Neighborhood Revitalization District, which was developed in 2015 with the implementation of the NRD-1 for the
Wynwood Arts District. The foundation of this Neighborhood Revitalization District was the community vision
plan created with the input of community stakeholders.
This application has a companion FLUM application PZ-20-8431 of approximately 87.646 acres, and a
companion Neighborhood Revitalization District (NRD-2), which introduces new Uses, modifies Transect Zone
regulations, creates a localized Public Benefits Program, and creates a localized parking program among other
things. The proposed change of zoning is consistent with the proposed FLUM for this neighborhood, and
supportive of the NRD-2.
Under the 11000 Zoning Ordinance, the City's prior zoning ordinance, this Neighborhood was zoned C-1, C-2,
R-2, R-3, PR, G/I and a portion was zoned SD-12.
The Neighborhood is comprised of multiple parcels, described in Exhibit A, with the rezone affecting
approximately 91.57 acres in area. Due to the large area of the change, the Neighborhood has a widely varied
built character. The changes are described in detail with notation on Map 1 below.

The requested change in zoning is in intended to compliment the Neighborhood Revitalization District that is
proposed for the Neighborhood, which created in response to the Wynwood Norte Community Vision Plan. Here
is an excerpt from that plan:
Faced with development pressure from Wynwood Business District to the south, Midtown to the east
and Design District to the north, the Wynwood Norte Neighborhood is at risk of being re -developed without
a clear holistic vision where the current identity and strengths of a historically cohesive community may
be lost. This, in turn, may affect the future livability of its current neighbors and future residents.
This plan recognizes and addresses residents' fear to keep their homes by introducing measures
to mitigate displacement and improve affordability.
Strategies are identified to help residents reinvest in existing homes and to provide residents with expanded
and better -quality housing options within the neighborhood.
Calibration of both planning and zoning is paramount to maximize the neighborhood's assets and provide
guidance for future development. This community -led Master Planning exercise provides a survey of
the existing neighborhood, its character, existing conditions and presents a comprehensive Vision Plan
Page 6 of 16
integrating what residents, business owners, community leaders, and stake
Norte want to see in their community with best planning practices.
And later in the report:
The history of Wynwood (or "Wyndwood" as it was originally called) dates ba
when the area north of NW 30th Street was subdivided and sold by early MI
Josiah Chaille and Hugh Anderson. The City of Miami built a park on the northern end
platted area and dropped the "d" from the name, becoming "Wynwood Park", which ev
became Roberto Clemente Park in 1974.

The area has gone through various cycles of cultural influence; most notably, starting in the
1950s through the 1970s, the Neighborhood was known as Little San Juan and many of the
civic and institutional uses and facilities were given names of historic Puerto Ricans who
contributed greatly to the community: Robert E. Lee Middle School, at NW 32nd Street and NW
5th Avenue, was closed and later expanded and reopened as Jose de Diego Middle School, the
neighborhood service center on NW 2nd Avenue was named after Eugenio Maria de Hostos, a Puerto
Rican patriot and writer, and the Catholic church on NW 2nd Avenue, Mission San Juan
Bautista was named after the patron Saint of Puerto Rico.
Although the neighborhood's residents are no longer primarily of Puerto Rican descent, the island's
legacy remains through the names of these parks and civic buildings, as does the heritage of those
mid-century immigrants through a close knit community structure, largely due to the neighborhood
scale and socioeconomic make up of its residents.
Today, there are about 4,152 residents living in the area. The neighborhood is highly multi -
generational with 36.8% of all households occupied by children, 10% of residents 65 years or older, and
the most represented age group being 25-29.
The essence of Wynwood Norte is most salient through its inclusivity and varied representation of
ethnicities that create a unique melting -pot of cultural richness. It is an accessible, affordable and dense
place that is home to young and old in a variety of building types.
ENHANCING AND PROTECTING THE EXISTING NEIGHBORHOOD SOCIAL AND PHYSICAL
CHARACTER, AND ADAPTING IT FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS IS THE MAIN GOAL OF THIS
DOCUMENT.
The Wynwood Norte Community Vision Plan was guided by its residents and stakeholders in
the hope to bring together a set of tools to achieve the goals and objectives transmitted to us
by the community, creating a "coming home" moment for future generation.
This should serve as an introduction to the zoning changes as proposed.
E. ANALYSIS
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP)
This request for a change in zoning is accompanied by a companion Future Land Use map amendment. This
amendment has multiple changes and is described in detail in companion item PZ-20-8431. Here is an excerpt
from that staff report:
Criteria 2
Policy LU 1.1.7 Land development regulations and policies will allow for
the development and redevelopment of well -designed mixed -use
neighborhoods that provide for the full range of residential, office,
live/work spaces, neighborhood retail, and community facilities in a
walkable area and that are amenable to a variety of transportation
modes, including pedestrianism, bicycles, automobiles, and mass
transit.
Analysis
2
The introduction of "High Density Multifamily Residential" to this
neighborhood and the expansion of the "Restricted Commercial" and the
Page 7 of 16
"General Commercial" categories will reinforce the existing patterns of
Uses, but provide a higher density that will provided needed higher density
housing typologies. This will also support existing programs such as the
City's Attainable Mixed Income program and drive public benefit
contributions to demonstrative community needs. Staff finds that this will
allow for the further development of the Neighborhood into a mixed -use
neighborhood that serves all existing and future residents.
Finding 2
Staff finds the proposed amendment consistent with Policies LU-1.1.7
Criteria 3
Policy LU 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.
Analysis
3
The introduction of "High Density Multifamily Residential" to this
neighborhood and the expansion of the "Restricted Commercial" and the
"General Commercial" categories will encourage the development pattern
that incorporates a mix development types and opportunities for greater
variety of housing and commercial development and employment
opportunities.
Finding 3
Staff finds the proposed amendment consistent with Policies LU-1.3.15
Criteria 4
Policy LU-1.1.3: The City's zoning ordinance provides for protection of all
areas of the city from: (1) the encroachment of incompatible land uses; (2)
the adverse impacts of future land uses in adjacent areas that disrupt or
degrade public health and safety, or natural or man-made amenities; (3)
transportation policies that divide or fragment established neighborhoods;
and (4) degradation of public open space, environment, and ecology.
Strategies to further protect existing neighborhoods through the
development of appropriate transition standards and buffering requirements
will be incorporated into the City's land development regulations.
Analysis
4
The Neighborhood is already bounded by a General Commercial Future
Land Use designation, allowing the highest density and range of uses in the
MCNP. The core of the Neighborhood will become High Density Multifamily
Residential, to empower the housing typologies requested through the
Wynwood Norte Community Vision Plan, though the existing and any new
single family or duplex homes would be permitted under this FLUM category.
The companion modifications to the City's land development regulations
ensure a transition is scale and uses to abutting neighborhoods.
Finding 4
Staff finds the proposed amendment consistent with Policies LU-1.1.3

Map 4: Proposed zoning
Zoning changes typically effectuate three things:
1) A rezoning can modify underlying residential density;
2) A rezoning can modify the built form of new buildings; and,
3) A rezoning can modify allowable uses.
1) Underlying Residential Density:
The underlying maximum residential densities of the existing zoning categories range from 18 dwelling
units per acre to 150 dwelling units per acre as follows using Map 1 as a guide:
A T3-O to T4-R (18 to 150 dwelling units per acre)
B T3-O to T4-L (18 to 150 dwelling units per acre)
Page 9 of 16
C T4-R to T5-L (36 to 150 dwelling units per acre)
D T4-R to T5-O (36 to 150 dwelling units per acre)
E T4-L to T4-R (36 to 150 dwelling units per acre)
F T4-L to T5-L (36 to 150 dwelling units per acre)
G T4-L to T5-O (36 to 150 dwelling units per acre)
H T4-O to T5-L (36 to 150 dwelling units per acre)
I T5-O to T6-8-O (65 to 150 dwelling units per acre)
J CI to T5-O (150 to 150 dwelling units per acre)
K CI to T6-8-O (150 to 150 dwelling units per acre)

PZ-20-8432
09/11/20
These underlying residential densities are not the typical underlying residential densities found in T4 and
T5 within Miami 21, although 150 dwelling units per acre is the underlying residential density associated with T5
in the NRD-1. This higher underlying residential density empowered through the NRD-2 overlay district and is
necessary to effectuate the housing typologies called for in the Wynwood Norte Community Vision Plan.
2) Built form:
The built form of the Zoning Transects is modified by both the rezoning discussed in this analysis and
the NRD-2. The figures below take into account the localized public benefit program and a proposed flexible lot
coverage program, using Map 1 as a guide:
A T3-O to T4-R (50% lot coverage and two story maximum to 60% lot coverage and three story maximum
by right or 80% lot coverage and four story maximum with public benefits)
B T3-O to T4-L (50% lot coverage and two story maximum to 60% lot coverage and three story maximum by
right or 80% lot coverage and four story maximum with public benefits)
C T4-R to T5-L (60% lot coverage and three story maximum to 80% lot coverage and five story maximum by
right or 90% lot coverage and six story maximum with public benefits)
D T4-R to T5-O (60% lot coverage and three story maximum to 80% lot coverage and five story maximum
by right or 90% lot coverage and eight story maximum with public benefits)
E T4-L to T4-R (60% lot coverage and three story maximum to 60% lot coverage and three story maximum
by right or 80% lot coverage and four story maximum with public benefits)
F T4-L to T5-L (60% lot coverage and three story maximum to 80% lot coverage and five story maximum by
right or 90% lot coverage and six story maximum with public benefits)
G T4-L to T5-O (60% lot coverage and three story maximum to 80% lot coverage and five story maximum by

H T4-O to T5-L (60% lot coverage and three story maximum to 80% lot coverage and five story maximum by
right or 90% lot coverage and six story maximum with public benefits)
I T5-O to T6-8-O (80% lot coverage and five story maximum to 80% lot coverage, eight story maximum, and
5 FLR by right or 80% lot coverage, twelve story maximum, and 7.5 FLR with public benefits)
J CI to T5-O (Abutting condition to 80% lot coverage and five story maximum by right or 90% lot coverage

K CI to T6-8-O (Abutting condition to 80% lot coverage, eight story maximum, and 5 FLR by right or 80% lot
coverage, twelve story maximum, and 7.5 FLR with public benefits)
3) Allowable Uses:
The proposed rezoning would only allow the additional uses outlined below. The Miami 21 Use Chart is .

It should be noted that the NRD-2 introduces five new uses found on Table 3. Those, as proposed, have the following
definitions:
Art gallery: A for profit or a not for profit place of business primarily engaged in the display and/or sale
of art work created or produced on or off site, with works that can be made available for immediate
purchase and removal from the premises, and can be used for purposes of public programming, and
community education programs.
Manufacturing enabled retail: A facility primarily engaged in the manufacturing, processing, or
assembly of goods and shall include on -premises retail sales.
Open Air Flex -Use: A neighborhood amenity space and retail sales establishment operated substantially
in the open air limited to farmers market, Flea Markets, garden centers, Art gallery and the like. Uses not
included are car sales, equipment sales, boat sales, and home and garden supplies and equipment.
Community Garden: a grouping of garden plots on an open-air lot that is primarily used for the small-
scale cultivation and harvesting of fruits and vegetables, herbs and/or ornamental plants by and for
consumption by residents, businesses or community organizations within the neighborhood; excluding
raising of livestock, animal husbandry or other traditional agricultural production for wholesale
distribution.
Privately -owned Public Open Space: A publicly accessible area on a private Lot that exceeds minimum
Open Space requirements and shall be provided as a Civic Space Types standard within Article 4, Table 7
of this Code. This area shall be in connection with a ground floor Commercial Use.
Rezoning Criteria
The following is a review of the request pursuant to the rezoning criteria in Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 (f) of Miami
21, as well as on the additional criteria derived in the light of the request.
Criteria "The relationship of the proposed amendment to the goals, objectives, and
1.a: policies of the Comprehensive Plan, with appropriate consideration as to whether
the proposed change will further the goals, objectives and policies of
the Comprehensive Plan; the Miami 21 Code; and other city regulations."
Analysis: Comp Plan Objective LU-1.1: Ensure that land and development
regulations are consistent with fostering a high quality of life in
all areas, including the timely provision of public facilities that meet
or exceed the minimum level of service (LOS) standards adopted in the
Capital Improvements Element (CIE) of the Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan.
The Planning Department believes that the proposed rezoning would facilitate
an increased quality of life by encouraging infill development and small scale
redevelopment, which would subsequently enhance the public realm. Several
vacant properties throughout the neighborhood means the neighborhood lacks
the "eyes on the street" in places encouraged by Miami 21, potentially making
the neighborhood feel unsafe for pedestrians. This is combined with narrow
Page 13 of 16
sidewalks and aging infrastructure. The Neighborhood met all tested
standards as outlined in the companion FLUM amendment.
Policy LU-1.1.7: Land development regulations and policies
allow for the development and redevelopment of well -des
mixed -use neighborhoods that provide for the full range of reside
office, live/work spaces, neighborhood retail, and community facilities
a walkable area and that are amenable to a variety of transportation
modes, including pedestrianism, bicycles, automobiles, and mass transit.
The Neighborhood is already mixed use in nature. The character of the
Neighborhood's major thoroughfares is primarily commercial while the core of
the Neighborhood is primarily residential. The residential use restriction for the
core of the neighborhood, and the commercial permissibility along the
Neighborhood's thoroughfares, is maintained through the proposed rezoning,
albeit at higher densities and intensities.
Goal LU-1: Maintain a land use pattern that (1) protects and enhances the
quality of life in the City's neighborhoods; (2) fosters redevelopment and
revitalization of blighted or declining areas; (3) promotes and facilitates
economic development and the growth of job opportunities in the city; (4)
fosters the growth and development of downtown as a regional center
of domestic and international commerce, culture and entertainment; (5)
promotes the efficient use of land and minimizes land use conflicts while
protecting and preserving residential sections within neighborhoods; (6)
protects and conserves the city's significant natural and coastal
resources; and (7) protects the integrity and quality of the City's existing
neighborhoods by insuring public notice, input and appellant rights
regarding changes in existing zoning and land use regulations.
All of the elements of Goal LU-1, save number 6, are addressed in the Wynwood
Norte Community Vision Plan and effectuated though this rezoning process.
One of Miami 21's development goals is; `Rebuilding the City's
commercial Corridors to function as Mixed -Use, transit -oriented,
walkable centers for adjacent Residential Neighborhoods."
The Neighborhood is well served by mass transportation. The neighborhood is
transversed by numerous County bus routes and City trolley routes. This
Neighborhood, is bounded by two Transit Corridors, NW 36th Street and N Miami
Avenue. The Allapattah MetroRail station is approximately a 20-minute walk from
the western edge of the Neighborhood and the proposed location for the Midtown
Tri-Rail Coastal Link station is approximately a 5 minute walk from the
southeastern corner of the Neighborhood. The City and Miami Dade County are
currently collaborating on the Better Bus Project, which is intended to enhance
bus and trolley service throughout the City. The rezoning along the
Neighborhood's corridors helps to empower that.
"Transportation Corridors should be planned and reserved in
coordination with land Use."
As aforementioned, the Neighborhood is well served by mass transportation.
The City and Miami Dade County are currently collaborating on the Better Bus
Project, which is intended to enhance bus and trolley service throughout the City.
In particular, this will remove existing circulator routes and replace them with
straight bidirectional routes. The proposed zoning categories allow supportive
retail along the Neighborhood's major thoroughfares and the higher density,
residential -primary core of the neighborhood ensures ridership.
"A diversity of land use should be distributed throughout the City to enable
a variety of economic activity, workplace, residence, recreation and civic
activity."
The existing mixed -use character of the neighborhood is enhanced and
expanded through this rezoning. The NRD-2 also creates several new Use
categories, suggested by neighborhood stakeholders, that are expected to
further diversity the Neighborhood's land uses. There are also a new set of

incentives that encourage the provision of small commercial establish
(intended to retain existing and incubate new small businesses) and affo
housing (a prerequisite to maximize T4 development capacity). The
institutional entities in the neighborhood, such as the Bakehouse Art Co
and Miami Dade County Public Housing and Community Development, are
positioned to leverage these new incentives to increase the neighborhood's sto
of affordable housing units.
Finding: Consistent.
Criteria "The need and justification for the proposed change, including changed or
1.b: changing conditions that make the passage of the proposed change necessary."
Analysis: This process began in August of 2018, when a core group of neighborhood
stakeholders met to discuss potential improvements to this neighborhood. In
September of 2018, this group formed the Wynwood Community Enhancement
Association, the Neighborhood's largest association, and met formally for the first
time in November of 2018. In December of 2018, the community vision process
began, and in September of 2019 the process concluded after several formalized
community meetings seeking input from community stakeholders. Beginning in
January of 2020, the Planning department began creating the NRD-2 framework
and requisite zoning and Future Land Use changes. This process concluded
on June 29 2020 with a publicly noticed Town Hall Workshop that was hosted
virtually to solicit feedback on the plan's progress so far. The two biggest issues
we heard at this event were support small business and provide affordable
housing. The NRD-2 contemplates both concerns.
The City of Miami is undergoing an unprecedented affordable housing crisis,
while this crisis has been building over time, it has been exacerbated by
COVID-19 related job losses. There is a need for income restricted housing at
every income level, but consultation with the Housing and Community
Development Department with the City identified critical need at 80% and 100%
of Area Median Income. A residential specific public benefit was created to target
those AMIs. Restrictive density combined with a high percentage of renters
means this Neighborhood is at a high risk for gentrification and displacement.
Another public benefit was created to encourage developers to provide small
commercial establishments that are emblematic of the existing commercial
character of the neighborhood. As such this change of zoning is expected to
address community concerns on both fronts.
Findings: Consistent.
Criteria 2: "A change may be made only to the next intensity Transect Zone or by a Special
Area Plan, and in a manner which maintains the goals of this Miami 21 Code
to preserve Neighborhoods and to provide transitions in intensity and Building
Height."
Analysis: All proposed zoning changes outlined in the report are successional. The context
surround the Neighborhood was taken into account in the proposed zoning
scheme. The NRD-2 proposes scale restrictions within 500' of T3
neighborhoods, and bands of transitional Transect Zones are used to buffer the
highest scale zoning proposed from the lowest scale zoning both proposed and
exciting in the vicinity.
Finding: Consistent.
