The Applicant seeks to rezone the Property located at 1020 NW 7 Avenue from "T5-O" Urban Center Zone" to T6-8-O "Urban Core Zone" as stated in - Intent dated September 4, 2020. Prior to submitting their application, the Applican w application meeting with Planning Department staff on July 15, 2020. The Property cREVIEW C consists of affordable housing built in 1996 under a covenant (Extended Low -Income Housing Agreement) running with the land in perpetuity. The existing structure has 35 dwelling units for rent to "Low- and Very Low -Income Tenants." The Applicant disclosed during a meeting that the property owner intends to purchase the Right -of -Way (ROW) abutting the Property to the north along NW 11 Street to build additional housing units. This ROW is an oddly shaped grassy field that is currently fenced. Miami -Dade County owns this ROW and informed the property owner the ROW needs to be re -platted prior to any sale of the land. The ROW was not re -platted after NW 11 Street was re -aligned for Metrorail. Miami 21 Zoning Transects always extend to the centerline of the ROW. Since the ROW was not re -platted to align with the new centerline, the ROW is split zoned T6-8-O to the north and T5-O to the south. Miami -Dade County advised the property owner the ROW had to have one singular Zoning Transect prior to re -platting. The Applicant's desire to increase density on the site and to increase the size of the site by purchasing the County ROW have led the Applicant to request a change in Zoning Transect for the Property.

Site Location & Surrounding Uses The Property is located along NW 7 Avenue between NW 10 Street and NW 11 directly across the street from the Culmer Metrorail Station on NW 11 Street. Figure below show the location of the Property and the existing land uses within the immediate vicinity of the Property. The Property is walking distance from Booker T. Washington Senior High School, Henry Reeves Park, and the Health District. The blocks surrounding the Property have existing land uses of industrial, institutional, commercial, townhouses, single-family residential, multifamily high density residential, and vacant. The institutional parcels consist of Booker T. Washington and County -owned affordable housing. The industrial parcels mostly consist of Metrorail ROW and parking facilities under the Metrorail with some light industrial uses that are not related to Metrorail north and south of the Property. The area just north of the Property bounded roughly by SR-836, Seybold Canal, SR-441, and Metrorail was studied by the Planning Department and recommended rezoning all T6-8-L Zoning Transects to T6-8-O Zoning Transects. City Commission adopted the recommended zoning changes in 2020 under Ordinance 13924. While the Property was just outside of this study and rezoning effort, it is consistent with the Planning Department's recommendation to unify the zoning of the area surrounding Culmer Station to T6-8-O, where appropriate.

The R-3 zone allotted a density of 65 dwelling units per acre, which is consistent with the current T5-O Zoning Transect. Figure 5 below shows Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-20-7751— Page 3 01/14/2021 the previous zoning of the Property and its surrounding parcels. While the pr the Property is similar to the current zoning under Miami 21, there was a ch between 11000 and Miami 21 for the parcels to the west. The south parcel immediately west of the Property were also zoned R-3 under 11000, but were g 8-0 designation when Miami 21 was adopted. This increased the density allowe parcels from 65 du/ac under 11000 to 150 du/ac under Miami 21. One of the goals of Miami 21 was to unify parcels that were "split -zoned," meaning parcels that had more than one zoning designation. The most western parcel (816 NW 11 St) of the block west of the Property was split between C-1 and R-3 under 11000. This parcel is a condominium that was built in 2008 before Miami 21 was adopted. The C-1 zoning designation (Restricted Commercial) allowed a density of 150 du/ac and is comparable with Miami 21's T6-8-0 Zoning Transect. The south portion of the parcel located at 816 NW 11 St was zoned R-3. The adoption of Miami 21 unified not only the parcel, but the entire block to T6-8-0, as seen above in Figure 1.

Staff observed new development north of the Property past NW 11 Street. The properties on the east side of NW 7 Avenue across from the Property are townhouses built in 1977 that are properly maintained; however, they provide a stark contrast from the newer development just down the street and even from the existing structures on the Property itself. On the west side of NW 7 Avenue just south of NW 10 Street, there are some older one story commercial structures. One of the structures has been recently renovated and the others are vacant and deteriorated.

Demographics (census data) Planning Department staff utilized the US Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) 5-Year Estimates to gather data on the study area and the City of Miami. The study area refers to the Census Block Group in which the Property is located, which is Block Group (BG) 120860030013. The table below shows the observed data points for both the study area and the City.

The median home value and median gross rent are both higher than the same figures for the City. Median gross rent refers to the median amount households spend on rent plus utilities monthly. Rent is nearly $400 more expensive per month in the study area than it is the rest of the City. The median value for homes is $76,400 more in the study area than the City. Additionally, median household income is $7,270 less than the Area Median Income (AMI). Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-20-7751— Page 6 01/14/2021 The higher median home value of the study area is likely the result of waterfr homes on the Seybold Canal and north side of Miami River where marke between $500,000 and $974,000. What is interesting is that despite the to income and higher housing values, owner -occupied housing is more prevalent area than the rest of the City. In fact, the rate of owner -occupancy in the study percentage points higher than the City.

The Property is located directly across the street from the Culmer Metrorail station. MCNP Goal LU-3: "Encourage urban redevelopment in identified Urban Infill Areas and Urban Redevelopment Areas." Policy LU-1.1.11 defines the Urban Infill Area to be the entire City of Miami less Virginia Key, Watson Island, uninhabited islands of Biscayne Bay and land use and zoning classifications of Conservation. The Property is therefore located in the Urban Infill Area. Granting the change in zoning from T5-0 to T6-8-O may encourage redevelopment of the Property. MCNP Police CM-4.1.2: "Continue to direct population away from the Coastal High Hazard Area, which is defined as the areas below the elevation of category 1 storm surge line, as established by Sea, Lake, and Overland Surges from Hurricanes (SLOSH) computerized storm surge model as depicted by CHHA map in Appendix CM-1. (See map following Appendix CM- - The Property is not located in the CHHA. Rezoning the Property from T5-0 to T6-8-0 would more than double the current density allowed, thus creating more dwelling units outside of the CHHA. Finding 1 The request is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. Criteria 2 Section 7.1.2.8.f.1.(b) "The need and justification for the proposed change, including changed or changing conditions that make the passage of the proposed change necessary." Analysis 2 The Property's proximity to Culmer Metrorail Station and size make it a prime candidate for redevelopment. The Property is approximately 1.18 acres and only has 35 residential units today. Rezoning the Property from T5-0 to T6-8- 0 would allow the Applicant to redevelop the Property to include more housing units than what currently exists and is allowed. The City of Miami is also facing a shortage of affordable housing. The Property has an active covenant running with the land for Extended Low -Income Housing, which makes it an excellent candidate for rezoning from T5-0 to T6-8-0 to encourage the redevelopment of affordable housing with the potential for more units.

PZ-20-7751 03/01 /21 Analysis 3 The Property is currently zoned T5-0 and the requests is to rezone it to 1 0, which is the next intensity Transect Zone. The properties abutting to the north and west are also zoned T6-8-0, meaning this would be a continuation/extension of an existing T6-8-0 Transect Zone. Finding 3 The request is consistent with the principals of Successional Zoning. F. CONCLUSION The Applicant's request to rezone the Property located at 1020 NW 7 Avenue from T5-0 to T6-8-0 has several merits. The proximity of the Property to the Culmer Metrorail Station, Health District, and Henry Reeves park make it an ideal candidate for a rezone to a higher density Transect, such as T6-8-0. The Property is in a TOD Area with Metrorail, Metrobus, and Broward County Transit 95 Express Bus service directly across the street at NW 11 Street.
