WHEREAS, the proposed "CS", Civic Space Transect Zone, would result in a decrease
in allowed development intensity; and
WHEREAS, the application is consistent with Section 7.1.2.8(a) of Ordinance No. 13114,
the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended ("Miami 21 Code"), as the
request is for a rezone to a lower Transect Zone; and
WHEREAS, the request to rezone the Property is consistent with the Miami 21 and the
MCNP, including Objective PR-1.1 intent of providing a park within a 10-minute walk of every

and Recreation Department report to PZAB every January and July to provide a status of the
park improvements; however, only five (5) members voted in favor and four (4) members voted

change necessary; and
