FINDINGS Criteria 1: Pursuant to Miami 21 Code, Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8(f.)(1.)(a.): "The relationship of the proposed amendment to the goals, objectives, and policies of the [MCNP], with appropriate consideration as to whether the proposed change will further the goals, objectives, and policies of the [MCNP]; the Miami 21 Code; and other city regulations." Analysis 1: As noted under the subheading "Covenant — applied to the current Rezoning application", the Applicant has "voluntarily proffered" a Declaration of Restrictive Covenants that guarantees a "fully affordable mixed -use development". This aligns with the following MCNP's Land Use Element, Policy HO-1.1.1: "Increase the supply of safe, affordable and sanitary housing for extremely low-, very low-, low-, and moderate -income households (in accordance with the current standards and regulations of HUD and the State of Florida) and the elderly by alleviating shortages of extremely low, very low-, low-, and moderate -income housing, rehabilitating older homes, maintaining, and revitalizing residential neighborhoods in order to meet the needs of all income groups.". In terms of multimodal transit options for the City's residents, the Applicant's requested rezoning of its Properties will promote higher -density development near an existing Commercial/Transit corridor (SW 1st Street). This aligns with the following MCNP's Transportation Element, Policy TR-1.1.5: "Within Neighborhoods, a range of housing types and price levels should accommodate diverse ages and incomes" and Miami 21 Code's Article 2, Section 2.1.2(b.)(2.): "Rebuilding the City's commercial Corridors to function as Mixed -Use, transit -oriented, walkable centers for adjacent Residential Neighborhoods".

PZ-22-15126 04/27/23 44, RtVIEW COrQ MCNP, Transportation Element, Policy TR-1.1.5: "The City will encourage new development to be structured to reinforce a pattern of neighborhoods and urban centers by focusing growth along transit corridors and around transit nodes and centers." The properties are within the transit corridor per GRIDICS. Amending the FLUM of the MCNP for the Property from "Low Density Restricted Commercial" to "Restricted Commercial" has the potential to encourage further development within the transit corridor along transit lines. Thus, it has the potential of encouraging alternative transportations options to the automobile for future City of Miami residents. Finding 1: Complies Criteria 2: Pursuant to Miami 21 Code, 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 2: As noted under the subheading "Project Data", the parcels abut a High -Density Multi -Family Residential property to the north and is less than 500 feet from other "High -Density Multi -Family Residential" and Commercial uses. Additionally, the previously mentioned Covenant guaranteeing affordability makes the proposed change necessary because, as development continues in the area, property values will continue to rise. Creating an affordable development in the area will ensure locals can remain competitive when finding places to live. Miami 21 Code, Article 2, Section 2.1.2(b.)(2.): "Rebuilding the City's commercial Corridors to function as Mixed -Use, transit -oriented, walkable centers for adjacent Residential Neighborhoods". All the Applicant's Subject Property is surrounded on four (4) sides by residential uses and the northernmost parcel is less than a 5-minute walk from SW 1st Street, a recognized transit corridor. Findings 2: Complies Criteria 3: Pursuant to Miami 21 Code, 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 3: The Applicant's generally abuts "T4-L" General Urban Transect Zone - Limited property. Pursuant to Miami 21 Code, Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8(a.), the Applicant's requested change is following the "Successional Zoning" pattern that allows the existing, underlying Transect Zone to go from "T4" General Urban Transect Zone - Limited to "T5" Urban Center Transect Zone - Limited.

CONCLUSION The Applicant's requested rezoning for their Subject Property from the current "T4-L" General Urban Transect Zone - Limited to "T5-L" Urban Center Transect Zone - Limited was reviewed based on a "balanced approach" of weighing the merits of this application being compliant with Miami 21 Code's Successional Zoning Changes, the MCNP's Goals, Objectives, and Policies, and the Applicant's voluntarily proffered Covenant that restricts the use of the parcels to an affordable development. This proposed land use change is consistent with both Miami 21 and the MCNP. Therefore, the Planning Department recommends "Approval" of the Subject Property (205 SW 8th Avenue, 219 SW 8th Avenue, 766 SW 2nd Street, and 779 SW 3rd St) from "T4-L" General Urban Transect Zone - Limited to "T5-L" Urban Center Transect Zone - Limited, based upon the facts and findings in this staff report and the acceptance of the voluntarily proffered covenant. f—DocuSigned by: (AtiS c �tnLL 7535€€F®CFC319.F...
