The T5-R designation was primarily designed for creating cohesive residential communities with limited, disruptive commercial uses, such as a Bed and Breakfast, Civic, and Civic Support uses through an entitlement process. In comparison to T5-R, the T6-O transect allows for a variety of uses either by right or entitlement. Regarding the "D1" transect, it matches all the allowed uses for T6-8-O as listed in Miami 21's Article 4, Table 3, except for residential with the caveat of "Work -Live" housing. However, in terms of allowed industrial uses, this is the converse. The D1 transect is specifically designated for industrial uses, such as storage/distribution facilities and manufacturing/processing operations. Based on the allowed density pursuant to Miami 21, Article 4, Table 4, staff is listed below the existing and proposed residential density for the Property: Transect Zone Acreage (ac) Dwelling Units (DU)/ac Base Residential Density T5-R (existing) 0.34 65 DU/ac 0.34 ac x 65 DU/ac = 21 D1 (existing) 3.23 36 DU/ac 3.23 x 36 DU/ac = 116 T6-8-O (proposed) 3.54 150 DU/ac 3.54 x 150 DU/ac = 531 The existing base residential for the Property is 137 DU. The applicant is proposing to increase the density to 531 DU, an increase of 394 dwelling units or viewed as a percentage increase of (531-(21+116)/531) = 288 percent. Minimum Requirements to Request a Chanqe of Zoning: Miami 21: Section 7.1.2.8 - Amendments to Miami 21 Code In accordance with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a, a change may be made to a transect zone in a manner which maintains the goals of Miami 21. The recommendations of the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board shall show that the board has considered and studied the application regarding the following criteria: Criteria 1: 7.1.2.8.f.1.a "The relationship of the proposed amendment to the goals, objectives and 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 1.a: Per the Applicant's Letter of Intent (LOI), the request furthers Goal LU-1 of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) to "Maintain a land -use pattern that (...) protects and enhances the quality of life in the City's neighborhoods; (...) fosters redevelopment and revitalization of blighted or declining areas; (...); promotes and facilitates economic development and the growth of job opportunities in the city;(...); [and] promotes the efficient use Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-20-5998_ 7400 NW Miami Court — Page 18 of 23 NOTICE of land and minimizes land use conflicts while protecting and preserving residents within neighborhoods (...)". In the "Interpretation of the 2020 Future Land Use M the MCNP, properties with a General Commercial FLU designation are said to ben proximity to industrial areas, as the allowed uses generally serve the needs of other (page 24 of the MCNP that became effective on May 14, 2018). Regarding the applica Property, all 12 parcels are abutting a D1 Transect. Therefore, the applicant's proposed land - use change complies with the general intent of the MNCP's "General Commercial" FLU designation. Concerning Transect Zone designations, the hierarchy provided in the MCNP's Correspondence Table, titled "Correspondence Table- Zoning and Comprehensive Plan", this suggests that FLU - designated "General Commercial" is more suitable to adjacent FLU -designated "Light Industrial" areas versus other FLU -designated and residentially -oriented areas, such as Medium Density Multifamily Residential or Duplex Residential. As stated by the Applicant, the rezone would further Goal LU-1 by establishing a zoning Transect that would allow a redevelopment that is successional and acts a buffer between two conflicting FLU designations: Light Industrial and Medium Density Multifamily Residential.

The applicade decision -malting body will review the information at the pubdc hearing to render a recommendation or a final decla on. PZ-20-5998 11/18/20 Therefore, the Applicant's request fulfills the needs in providing more inclusive, higher density housing while providing mutually beneficial commercial services to industrially oriented businesses that are within proximity to the Property. Finding Criteria la: This proposed FLU change is compatible with the existing FLU -designated properties abutting the Property. Therefore, the request complies with the rezoning criteria outlined in Section 7.1.2.8.f.1.a of Miami 21. Criteria 1.b: According to Section 7.1.2.8.f.1.b, the PZAB shall consider "the need and justification for the proposed change, including changed or changing conditions that make the passage of the proposed change necessary." Analysis 1.b: Per the Applicant's LOI, the following claim is stated: "In evaluating the requested zoning atlas amendments for the [Property], the proposed Applications reflect and are supported by changing conditions in the area, and the proposed zoning to T6-8 improves upon or maintains intended transitions under Miami 21 of one transect zone in intensity compatible with surrounding properties immediately to the north, south, east, and west." This claim is contradicted by the existing, spatial zoning topologies for this Neighborhood Study Area - 0.25-mile radius. Specifically, the only T6-8-O designated zoning is along NW 79 St commercial corridor, which is approximately three blocks north of the Property and only comprises 2.6% of the Neighborhood Study Area - 0.25-mile radius. Furthermore, to make the argument for successional zoning, there needs to be an established pattern of rezoning/land- use changes (ergo City Commission -approved land use and/or zoning applications) within this Neighborhood Study Area - 0.25-mile radius, which point to a sustained redevelopment trend of higher levels of growth, density, and intensity of uses. Based on the staff's findings, there have Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-20-5998_ 7400 NW Miami Court — Page 19 of 23 been no City Commission -approved rezonings and/or land -use changes over the for this Neighborhood Study Area - 0.25-mile radius. Finding 1.b: The request is not consistent with the rezoning criteria outlined in Secti 7.1.2.8.f.1.b as the Applicant does not provide any evidence for the justification for the change. Criteria 2: Miami 21, 7.1.2.8.f.2 states that "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", per Section 7.1.2.8. f.2. Analysis 2: Staff analyzed the Applicant's proposed change from Miami 21's existing T5-R and D1 Transect Zones to the proposed T6-8-O Transect Zone under the same conditions previously discussed in Criteria 1.b above. In the context of the existing T5-R Transect Zones to the north and west of the Property, the proposed rezoning would increase Density from 65 dwelling units per acre to 150 dwellings units per acre. In terms of building Height, it would go from five stories to eight stories by right with the potential for four additional stories when coupled with the City's Pubic Benefits program. The requested rezone would create a more gradual transition between the Property and the neighboring parcels to north and west. However, since there are no existing T6 zoning topologies within this Neighborhood Study Area - 0.25-mile radius that supports this rezone, the best condition is to follow the existing T5 topology but seeking higher intensity of uses, such as the T5-O, which allows more lodging, commercial, office uses by right versus T5-R. Therefore, the existing T5 topology is more conducive to the transitional development patterns intended by Miami 21, Article 2, Section 2.1.2.8.a.2, as well as the rezoning criteria identified in Section 7.1.2.8.f.2 of Miami 21. This submittal needs to be scheduled for a public hearing In accordance with timelines set forth in the City of Miami Code. The applicable decision -making body will review the information at the public hearing to render a recommendation or a final decla on. PZ-20-5998 11/18/20 In the context of the existing D1 Transect Zones to the east and west of the Property, the proposed rezoning would go from the existing base residential density of 36 dwelling units to 150 dwelling units per acre. In terms of building height, both D1 and T6-8-O are allowed up to eight stories, by right. Furthermore, per the provisions of Article 4, Table 2; Article 4, Table 3; and the successional zoning table provided in Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a.3, the requested change is less intense in terms of uses when compared to the industrial uses allowed for the abutting D1-designated properties. Therefore, any effects from this proposed zoning change from D1 to the T6-8-O would be deemed beneficial in terms of acting as a buffer, based on the scale and design of a proposed redevelopment project, to the residential neighborhoods to the west and north. In context to Miami 21, Article 2 Section 2.1.2.a.1 and Section 2.1.2.b.4, the preservation of both the established T5-R residential neighborhoods along with the many rail/vehicular-dependent logistical businesses within the D1 industrial areas are critical in weighing the merits of this rezoning application. Unfortunately, the argument put forth by the Applicant does not comply with these key requirements. Furthermore, this rezoning application, if successful, has the potential to be a catalyst for more intense, incompatible uses encroaching within these established residential neighborhoods and the shuttering of many businesses, which is inconsistent with the rezoning criteria outlined in Section 7.1.2.8.f.2 of Miami 21. Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-20-5998_ 7400 NW Miami Court — Page 20 of 23 It is of staff's professional opinion that if the applicant were to propose to rezone from T5-R and D1 to T5-O, this would be more appropriate and in -line with the ex transects within this Neighborhood Study Area and the overall general area. To ex point while the T5-R Transect is found to the west and north of the Property, the T5- is a better fit in terms of the equal balance of residential density and allowed uses by ri through an entitlement process, that mirrors many of uses allowed in T6-8-O.

The appli®de decision -malting body will rodew the information at the pubec hearing to render a recommendation or a final decla on. PZ-20-5998 11/18/20 Per Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a.3 of Miami 21, the Applicant's request to change the zoning designation for the single T5-R-zoned parcel to T6-8-O complies with Miami 21's requirement for a successional zoning change. However, the Applicant's remaining 11 parcels are zoned D1, and the successional change in zoning may be to T6-8, T5, CI, or D2. The staff has an excerpt of the "Successional Zoning Changes" table below: Table 7: Miami 21 - Successional Zoning Changes — applicable to the adjacent transects to the Property TRANSECT ZONE FLR SUCCESSIONAL ZONE FLR T5 -- T6-8, CI 6 D1 -- T6-8*, T5, CI, D2 5 (T6-8) * or -- all others * The Planning Department shall make a recommendation as to which Transect Zone will yield the most coherent pattern given the established zoning pattern and context in the immediate vicinity. Per the Applicant's Property survey, five of the 12 parcels are aligned with the right-of-way of NW Miami Place, which has approximately 419.15 linear feet of frontage and complies with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8. c.1. Therefore, the Property meets the minimum 200-foot requirement for street frontage length on one street and may be considered for rezoning. Per Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a, a change may be made to a Transect Zone in a manner that maintains the goals of Miami 21. In a recommendation for such a change, the request is considered and studied concerning the criteria identified in Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.f. The criteria and the staff's findings are provided below. Finding 2: The key findings are the preservation of the existing residential neighborhoods, the identification of a coherent and variable pattern of T6 redevelopment, and context to the Neighborhood Study Area that can adequately support and provide a transition to increased density, intensity, and building Height. This single, isolated proposed rezoning from T5-R and D1 to T6-8-O directly conflicts Miami 21's intent at preserving neighborhoods which makes the request inconsistent with the rezoning criteria of Section 7.1.2.8. f.2. F. CONCLUSION From a successional zoning aspect according to Section 7.1.2.8.a.3, the Applicant's proposed change from "T5-R" and "D1" to a "T6-8-O" Zoning designation adheres to this principle. Specifically, to the west and north of the Property, the proposed rezoning could create a buffer Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-20-5998_ 7400 NW Miami Court — Page 21 of 23 between the T5-R-designated residential properties and the D1 industrial uses, commercial uses allowed in T6-8-O could play an important, supportive role to th owners involved in logistical operations and warehousing. However, Miami 21 has incorporated a variety of planning principles that provide NOTICE This submittal needs to be scheduled bra puboc hearing in osordance whh idmatinee set forth in the City of Miami Code.

These allow for a more cohesive growth pattern that is inten advance the interests of both conservation and redevelopment while responding to the existing conditions of the City, its regional context, its infrastructure, level of service and established neighborhoods. In this context, this proposed zoning change disrupts the longstanding, coherent pattern of established medium density residential neighborhoods and the economically important rail - dependent industrial uses aligned to the active FEC Railway, as stipulated by the rezoning criteria in Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8. f.2. PZ-20-5998 11/18/20 Finally, this proposed rezoning could result in intensive redevelopment into established residential neighborhoods, leading to a variety of possible conflicts centered around health, safety, level of service standards, residential displacement, housing stability, etc. Interestingly when comparing the differing categorized uses "By right" or "Special Permit" for T5- R, T5-L, T5-O, D1, and T6-8-O in Miami 21's Article 4, Table 3 — Building Functions, they are all mostly the same with a few minor exceptions. Furthermore, the building heights for T6-8-O and D1 are both eight stories by right. Ultimately, this proposed rezoning application is centered around the increase in residential density from D1 (36 DU/ac) and T5-R (65 DU/ac) dwelling units to T6-8-O (150 DU/ac). The residential intensity increased by the proposed T6-8-O is not supported based on the longstanding, medium density residential and industrial development patterns within this Neighborhood Study Area. Staff recommends T5, specifically T5-O as a better fit for this Property because of the neighborhood context as directed by Article 7, 7.1.2.8, which states that the following: "The Planning Department shall make a recommendation as to which Transect Zone will yield the most coherent pattern given the established zoning pattern and context in the immediate vicinity." While the properties in the area are Zoned T5-R, the proximity of this Property to the D1 Transect makes the better choice of a change of zoning to the "T5-O" Urban Center - Open. The T5-R Transect Zone maintains a variety of uses on this block and similar density. The T5-R Urban Center Zone -Restricted limits uses to primarily residential in proximity to the D1 Transect Zone, which is not the best fit in the neighborhood context. Pursuant to Miami 21 Code, Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 of Ordinance 13114 ("Miami 21 Code"), as amended, the Planning Department recommends "Denial" of the request to change the zoning designation of the parcels, located at 60 NW 73 ST; 70 NW 73 ST; 7301 NW Miami PI; 7320 NW Miami Ct; 7324 NW Miami Ct; 7328 NW Miami Ct; 7338 NW Miami CT; 7395 NW Miami PI; 7400 NW Miami Ct; 7401 NW Miami PI; 7406 NW Miami Ct; from "D1" — Work Place Staff Analysis Report No. PZ-20-5998_ 7400 NW Miami Court — Page 22 of 23 9 0 4 District Zone to "T6-8-O" — Urban Core Zone -Open and 7421 NW Miami PI. from Urban Center -Restricted to "T6-8-O" — Urban Core -Open.
