PZ-22-15743 12/29/22 44, RSVI EW COO located at 3121 Mundy Street and 3147 Mundy Street (Assemblage C), Miami, Florida, (Collectively "The Assemblage"). RECOMMENDATION Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 of Miami 21, as amended, the Planning Department recommends Approval of the request based upon the facts and findings in this staff report. B. BACKGROUND The Assemblage is located in the Village West Island and Charles Avenue Neighborhood Conservation District (NCD-2). The precursor for the NCD-2, the "SD-26 Coconut Grove Market Overlay District," was established by Ordinance No.12324 by amending the prior City of Miami Zoning Ordinance, Ordinance No. 11000 ("Ordinance No. 11000"). On September 25, 2003, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 12417 rescinding Ordinance No. 12324 and amending Article 8, Section 802 of Ordinance No. 11000 to establish the "NCD-2 Grand Avenue Corridor Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District". On January 27, 2005, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 12651 amending Article 6 to add Section 626, titled "Village West Island Special Overlay District," and to repeal the NCD-2 Grand Avenue Corridor Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District and further amending Article 8 to create Section 802, titled "Charles Avenue Neighborhood Conservation Overlay District". On April 23, 2020, the Miami City Commission, per City Commission Resolution No. R-20- 0131, found that the West Grove has been plagued by economic blight. Pursuant to City Commission directive on September 10, 2020, the City of Miami, working with a consultant, completed a report to identify future housing opportunities within the West Grove community, titled "West Grove Affordable Housing Blueprint." At the October 13, 2022 City Commission meeting, the City Commission directed the City Manager and the City Attorney to take any and all actions to improve affordable housing within the Little Bahamas area of the City of Miami. Appendix A.2 of the Miami 21 Code contains the Neighborhood Conservation District regulations, titled "Village West Island District and Charles Avenue" ("NCD-2"). The intent of the NCD-2 is to identify and recognize areas in Coconut Grove that are historically significant; to promote gateways, gathering places, and activities corresponding to its culture and heritage; to compliment the character of the entire community and promote the history of the Island District; and to promote its successful revitalization and restoration.

The applica decision -mating body will renew the Information at the public hearing to render s recommendation or a final decision. PZ-22-15743 12/29/22 44, V RtVIEW CO ' Pursuant to Appendix A.2.2 of the Miami 21 Code: Village West Island District is of special and substantial public interest due to the unique role of Grand Avenue and Douglas Road as the "Main Streets" for the surrounding Village West Island District Community and the unique Caribbean and Bahamian character and heritage of the Village West Island District in general. On Charles Avenue this NCD-2 will help define the uses and designs of buildings and help maintain the scale and character of the existing neighborhood. Both Village Island West and Charles Avenue illustrate the incomparable legacy of the African -American community to the City of Miami. The intent of NCD-2 is to identify and recognize this historical significance; to promote gateways, gathering places and activities corresponding to its culture and heritage; to compliment the character of the entire community and promote the history of the Island District; and to promote its successful revitalization and restoration. Charles Avenue (originally Evangelist Street) has historically housed some of the original Bahamian settlements within the Village West Island District that occupies the neighborhoods around the intersection of Douglas Road and Grand Avenue. This street has been degraded through demolition, abandonment and redevelopment and thereby diminishing the historic integrity to become a historic district; however, it is of special and substantial public interest due to its historic identity and remaining historic structures. This designation will encourage appropriate infill to preserve the context of historic sites on Charles Avenue, including: the Mariah Brown House, home of the first Bahamian settler; the Historic Black Cemetery; the E.F. Stirrup House, home of the first black doctor; historical churches, and several other historic homes. The Assemblage is comprised of six (6) parcels totaling approximately 322,343 square feet (8.01 acres) of land File ID 13063— Page 3 12/28/2022 DocuSign Envelope ID: CD896B01-644B-4C06-8107-6D937A1B61E0 NOTICE This submittal needs to be scheduled fora pubic hearing In accordance wth timelines set forth in the City of Miami Code.

As a result, the Applicant has submitted a FLUM Amendment to change the land use designation of the properties from "Duplex Residential" and "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, and Utilities" to "Low Density Multifamily" processed concurrently under PZ-22-15744. The Assemblage A consists of two (2) parcels.

Analysis for Criteria 2 On April 23, 2020, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. R-20- 0131, which found that the West Grove has been plagued by economic blight. Economic blight is a negatively changing condition. Changes from T3-O to T4-R could alleviate the conditions of blight while supporting the intentions of maintaining the distinct character and heritage of Village West Island District. 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 Section 7.1.2.8.f.2.

The proposed zoning change from "T3-O" to "T4-O" are successional changes to a higher transect zone. Additionally, the existing zoning pattern of "T3-O" adjacent to "T5-L" does not have a buffer of higher and lower intensities. Introducing "T4- 0" would create a transition in intensity and height between "T3-O" and "T5-L", consistent with the Miami 21 principal of transitional zoning. Finding Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.(f)(2) of Miami 21 Code, the Criteria 3 requested change from "T3-O" to "T4-O" is consistent. D. CONCLUSION Staff finds that the proposed request is consistent with the Rezoning Criteria Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.f. of the Miami 21 Code. Staff recommends Approval of the requested rezone. ,-DocuSigned by: (Axis . '-7F35EEF0C6C349F... Lakisha Hull, AICP, LEED AP BD+C Planning Director SDocuSigned by: (A� Skin 3�75CAclAF7E446...
