WHEREAS, on October 22, 2009, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 13114,
the Zoning Ordinance of the City of Miami, Florida, as amended ("Miami 21 Code"); and
WHEREAS, on September 24, 2015, Ordinance No. 13561, amended the Miami 21
Code to include Appendix J: Wynwood Neighborhood Revitalization District ("NRD-1"); and
WHEREAS, the NRD-1 was established to foster medium -scale development and
promote the transition of the Wynwood neighborhood from an industrial district into a diverse,
mixed -use, residential neighborhood; and
WHEREAS, the Wynwood neighborhood is characterized by unique street art and a
largely industrial character; and
WHEREAS, to support the continued evolution of the Wynwood neighborhood, the
Miami City Commission has approved three (3) amendments to the NRD-1 to date under
Ordinance No. 13642, Ordinance No. 13805, and Ordinance No. 13960; and
WHEREAS, the Miami 21 Code allows for micro dwelling units within Transit Oriented
Development ("TOD") areas within the T-5 and T-6 Transect Zones and the Wynwood
neighborhood would benefit from a broader range of Residential unit types through the
extension of this program to the NRD-1; and
City of Miami File ID: 11616 (Revision: A) Printed On: 6/20/2025
WHEREAS, the Wynwood Design Review Committee (WDRC) is established and
reviews certain new developments within the NRD-1 but has limitations on what aspects of new
development it reviews such as when a proposal is less than 200,000 square feet or when a
modification is desired to clarify the remit of the WDRC's review so it can continue to effectively
advise on proposed development to achieve context sensitive design; and
WHEREAS, a defining aspect of the Wynwood neighborhood's character is the
assortment of smaller scale structures and taller new construction and the NRD-1 currently
allows for flexibilities for small-scale development; and
WHEREAS, the recently adopted Appendix P Wynwood Norte NRD-2 ("NRD-2") has
additional provisions to support small-scale development and these amendments to Section 3 of
Appendix J will create consistency between provisions made in NRD-2 to further support small-
scale development; and
WHEREAS, the City of Miami's ("City") Attainable Mixed -Income program was adapted
to the needs and development circumstances of the NRD-1 and a modification of Section 3 of
Appendix J is necessary to clarify minor text ambiguities and to further encourage participation
in the Attainable Mixed -Income program; and
WHEREAS, the NRD-1 area has an established Wynwood Parking Trust Fund and
Parking Exemptions relating to small-scale development, and the adopted NRD-2 extends the
applicability of parking exemptions beyond that provided for in the NRD-1 and consequently the
NRD-1 should be amended to be consistent with such provisions and incentives; and
WHEREAS, to address the limited amount of open space within the Wynwood
neighborhood an amendment to Section 5 of Appendix J is necessary to provide additional
height flexibility and to clarify text relating to rooftop development; and
WHEREAS, an amendment to Section 5 of Appendix J is necessary to update and
clarify text relating to mural art in an effort to assist the neighborhood in retaining and supporting
this critical characteristic; and
WHEREAS, the Wynwood Business Improvement District ("BID"), at its meeting on
December 19, 2021, considered and recommended the adoption of these amendments; and
WHEREAS, the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board ("PZAB"), at its meeting on
February 16, 2022, following an advertised public hearing, adopted Resolution No. PZAB-R-22-
008 by a vote of eight to zero (8 -0), Item No. PZAB.6, recommending approval, of the Zoning
Text Change with proposed modifications; and
WHEREAS, the PZAB recommended that Section 5.1.b.3 of Appendix J — Wynwood
NRD-1 be modified to remove the words "unless approved by Waiver" from the section and
further recommended that another amendment be added to require the Wynwood BID to abide
by the parking rate structure of the Miami Parking Authority; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission has considered the Planning Director's
recommendations; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission has conducted a public hearing on the proposed text
amendment; and
City of Miami File ID: 11616 (Revision: A) Printed On: 6/20/2025
WHEREAS, the City Commission has considered whether the proposed amendment will
further the goals, objectives, and policies of the Miami Comprehensive Plan, the Miami 21
Code, and other City regulations;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
