CONDITIONS UNDER ZONING ORDINANCE 11000 Under the previous 11000 Zoning Code, the Property had a split zoning "0" Office on western portion and "C-1" on the eastern portion. Both designations allowed 150 dwelling u per acre and unlimited height, see Table No 3 for comparison of previous development criteria. The Office zoning designation allowed structures used as permanent and transitory residential facilities such as hotels and motels, general office uses, clinics and laboratories and limited commercial activities incidental to principal uses, limited services and supporting facilities such as auditoriums, libraries, convention facilities, places of worship, and primary and secondary schools, and mixed residential -office uses. The development criteria allowed for 150 dwelling units per acre with a minimum lot size of 20,000 square feet and a FAR of 1.72. The C-1 designation was a commercial category which allowed structures used as any type of residential facility except for rescue missions, any activity included in the office designation, commercial marinas and living quarters on vessels with specific limitations, and mixed -use or commercial activities which generally serve the daily retailing and service needs of the public, typically requiring easy access by pedestrians and private automobiles. This designation is generally located in areas directly served by arterial or collector roadways, or directly accessible via mass transportation system. The development criteria allowed for 150 dwelling units per acre with a minimum lot size of 5,000 square feet and a FAR of 1.72. Image 4 below shows a comparison of the 11000 Code development criteria. With the adoption of Miami 21 in 2010, the western portion of the Property zoned "0" Office was rezoned to T5-0 resulting in a lower density of 65 dwelling units per acre. The eastern portion of the Property zoned "C-1" Restricted Commercial, was rezoned to T6-8-0 which maintained the density of 150 dwelling units per acre. The existing Transect boundary between the T5-0 and T6-8-0 follows the original 11000 Zoning designation. According to the Applicant's letter of intent (LOI)dated September 24, 2020, "the Applicant intends to redevelop the site to provide commercial uses together with multifamily housing at multiple income levels." The Applicant did not proffer a covenant as part of the application. PZ-20-6066 11/05/20 44, ' V!

The Rezoning, as proposed, has been analyzed for conformance with the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan, and Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 of Ordinance 13114 (the "Miami 21 Code"), as amended. APPLICABILITY In accordance with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a.3 of Miami 21, the zoning designation of a property may be changed to the next successional Transect if the change consists of the extension of an abutting transect boundary. The Property, which is split zoned T5-O and T6-8- 0, directly abuts a T6-8-O Transect Zone to the east. As such, the requested change represents the extension of the existing T6-8-O Transect boundary to the east along NE 2 Avenue, meeting one of three ways to comply with the minimum requirement to request a change to the Zoning Atlas. MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN Per the Correspondence Table - Zoning and Comprehensive Plan of the adopted Future Land Use Map (FLUM) of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP), the requested change of zoning from T5-O to T6-8-O does not correspond with the property's current future land use (FLU) of Medium Density Restricted Commercial. As a result, the Applicant has submitted a FLUM Amendment which would change the property's FLU to Restricted Commercial (File ID No. PZ-20-5966 LU) which corresponds with the request of a Rezone to T6-8-O Transect Zone. The image below depicts the existing future land use designation and the proposed designation. The parcel to the south of the Property has a split zone future land use designation of Medium Density Restricted Commercial and Restricted Commercial, whereas the parcels to the west have Medium Density Restricted Commercial, and the parcels east and north have Restricted Commercial. The Medium Density Restricted Commercial and Restricted Commercial designation is intended to allow general office use, clinics and laboratories, auditoriums, libraries, convention facilities, places of worship, primary and secondary schools, and commercial activities that generally serve the daily retailing and service needs of the public.

CRITERIA FOR REZONING Miami 21: Article 7, 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 zon 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 in regard to the following criteria: NOTICE This submittal needs to be scheduled fora public hearing In accordance wM1h timelines set forth in the City of Miami Code. The applica decision -mating body will renew the information at the pubc hearing to render a recommendation or a final decision. Criteria 1 PZ-20-6066 11/05/20 <N R'Vg EW Article 7, Section 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 Land Use Policy LU-1.1.7 seeks to establish land development regulations and policies that "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." The requested change from T5-O to T6-8-O is consistent with this policy as it seeks to help advance the ongoing revitalization along the NE 2 Avenue corridor. In 2016, capital improvements were completed on NE 2 Avenue. The corridor was repaved to include the following upgrades: ADA-compliant crossings, narrow sidewalks, lamps, and bike lanes, see image 1 on page 4. This transit corridor which is classified as a County collector primarily consist of commercial, retail, office, and other similar uses. Generally, the existing zoning designation along this corridor zoned T6-8-O allows for more development capacity for mixed -use, residential, and non-residential uses. Moreover, as illustrated on the existing zoning shown on page 1, the T6-8-O Transect Zone along NE 2 Avenue serves as a buffer to the T5-O Transect Zone to the West which primarily consists of high -density residential uses. Although the existing and proposed transect zone permits the same uses by Right, Warrant, or Exception (with the exception of Amusement Ride and Regional Activity Centers), the proposed transect zone of T6-8 permits additional development capacity , height, and density, which will help reinforce the redevelop efforts along the corridor and create an environment that will improve the public realm. The unification of the Property with the T6-8 Transect Zone would allow cohesive development standards across the site which may better serve the surrounding neighborhood with an influx of new housing or Uses. Given the opportunity to rezone the Property, it would be consistent with the development capacity to the west and east. Under the 11000 Zoning Code, this property had a split zone of Office and C-1 which permitted 150 dwelling units per acre. To complete the development on this block, this site would be consistent with the existing development pattern and surrounding context.

The apptiw tie decision -malting body wilt renew the information at the public hearing to render a recommendation or a final decision. 44, R4VI EW COO PZ-20-6066 11/05/20 According, to the American Community Survey (ACS), 5-year estimates (2014-2018), the median household income for the block group is $28,214 which is 77 percent lower than the median household income for the City of Miami ($36,638) and 57 percent lower than the median household income for Miami -Dade County $48,982. Approximately 37 percent of the population living in this Census Block Group live below the poverty line. Most of the residents in this Census Block Group also rent the homes in which they live (84.92%). Also, the unemployment rate is 22.98% which is three times more than the City, see table 5, page 9. Thus, this Rezone from T5-0 to T6-8-0 may provide a catalyst for additional residential units to be developed, as well as, provide an opportunity for economic development with the ability to create jobs, possibly creating a mixed -use neighborhood with a full range of residential, office, live/work spaces, and neighborhood retail. Finding Criteria 1 In accordance with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 (f)(1)(a) of Miami 21 Code, the requested change in zoning is consistent. Criteria 2 Article 7, 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 In recent years, development and redevelopment has occurred in primarily the T6- for Criteria 8-0 zoned areas largely due to the development rights. Currently, the abutting 2 property owner to the southeast has interest in amending the zoning designation from a similar split zoned situation to a site that is totally T6-8-0 Transect Zone (plan ID PZ-20-6057). There is an increased demand for mixed -use development projects in the area. As seen to the south of this Property, across NE 80th Terrace, the previous use was office, and it is currently undergoing remodeling to change the program to a mixed - use building with residential and retail tenant spaces. The demand for an agglomeration of uses in a single building has outpaced the need for single uses. Thus, there is a growing trend to have more buildable area for mixed -use projects with residential, commercial, and office which can better serve the surrounding neighborhood.

Staff is concerned that the increase in vehicle trips from t PZ-20-6066 11/05/20 yrEW 0�Q redevelopment would create an adverse impact on NE 2nd Ave. and NE 82nd St. intersection and add heavy traffic volume to the already congested NE 2nd Avenue corridor. As stated in the transportation memorandum, at the time of redevelopment, a traffic study will be required. The traffic study should include traffic mitigation if significant impacts to operating levels of service are identified. Onsite circulation is key to the success of the development, and pedestrian accessibility within the site to reduce conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. Although traffic may be increased; any development proposal would need to ensure that impacts to roadways are mitigated to an acceptable standard. As requested, the amendment to the Zoning Atlas from T5-O to T6-80 is appropriate for this area. Finding Criteria 2 In accordance with Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 (f)(1)(b) of Miami 21 Code, the requested change in zoning is consistent. Criteria 3 Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.f.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 Criteria 3 The requested change of zoning from "T5-O Urban Center Transect Zone -Open" to "T6-8-O Urban Core Transect Zone -Open" constitutes a successional rezone to the next higher Transect Zone, as depicted in the referenced table for successional zoning changes of Miami 21 Code, Sec. 7.1.2.8 (a)(3). The Property is part of the parcels designated T6-8-O that provides a buffer and transition to the western properties designated T5-O from the potential impact of the intensity of the NE 2 Avenue corridor. The existing zoning pattern of T5-O currently abuts T6-8-O allowing for a buffer of higher and lower intensities. Although, introducing the T6-8-O can possibly create encroachment and trends of increased height and density in this area, this area has existed with similar development pattern of higher residential uses and non- residential uses, especially along NE 2nd Avenue which serves as a collector road. Thus, allowing a higher intensity to transect would be consistent and compatible with the existing development pattern. Staff Analysis ePlan ID PZ-20-6066 (8038 NE 2 Ay) Page 16 of 18 Finding Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.a of Miami 21 Code, the Criteria 3 consistent with the Miami 21 Code. G. CONCLUSION This aubmNal needs to be scheduled fora public hearing in accordance with timelines set forth in the City of Miami Code.The applied de decision -making bcdywill review the intonnadon at the pabtie hearing to render a recommendation or a final decid on. This Applicant seeks to amend the designation of 1.42 acres from "T5-O" Urban Center- Ope to "T6-8-O" Urban Core- Open. Both designations allow intense uses. However, the T6-8-O Transect Zone allows a significantly higher density in its residential uses and increase height. The Goals, Objectives, and Policies of the MCNP generally incentivize development in neighborhoods within the Opportunity Zone and near transit. The Planning Department recommends Approval of the Miami 21 Atlas amendment (rezone) based upon the facts and findings in this staff report.
