WHEREAS, the same language repeats in the "Medium Density Multifamily Residential"
FLU designation; and
WHEAREAS, MCNP authorization for Lodging Uses absent the historic preservation
caveat does not occur until the "Low Density Restricted Commercial" FLU designation
(equivalent to the "T4-L" General Urban Transect Zone — Limited and "T4-O" General Urban
Transect Zone - Open); and
WHEARAS, in `T4-R" General Urban Transect Zone - Restricted, a Bed & Breakfast
is allowed only as provided by Chapter 23 for contributing structures within a historic district,
thematically related historic resources, or an individually designated historic resource; and
WHEARAS, a Bed & Breakfast is prohibited in all other instances in "T4-R" General
Urban Transect Zone — Restricted and to allow otherwise would be to authorize a
comprehensive plan inconsistency in violation of the MCNP by permitting a use generally
that is allowed only in these limited circumstances; and
WHEARES, allowing Bed & Breakfast in a `T4-R" General Urban Transect Zone -
Restricted would not fulfill the Miami 21 Code's intent of implementing the MCNP as it
would directly conflict; and

Determination of Use issued on March 20, 2019, in a `T4-R" General Urban Transect Zone
- Restricted outside of a historic structure or a contributing structure in a historic district for
the same reason; and

permitted where the structure involved is either: (1) in a historic district but is a non-
contributing structure to that district or (2) is not located within a historic district and is not
individually designated as a historic structure; and
WHEREAS the Zoning Administrator found that in the 74-R" General Urban
Transect Zone - Restricted, a Bed & Breakfast is allowed only as provided by Chapter 23
for contributing structures within a historic district, thematically related historic resources,
or an individually designated historic resource and is prohibited in all other instances; and
WHEREAS, on July 15, 2022, an appeal of the Zoning Interpretation 2022-0002
was filed by Cecilia Torres -Toledo, Esquire, on behalf of Riverstudios, LLC ("Appellant");
and
WHEREAS, on September 7, 2022, the Planning, Zoning, and Appeals Board found that

Urban Transect Zone - Restricted by process of a Warrant; and

proposed amendment to the Miami 21 Code, including changed or changing conditions
that make the passage of the proposed amendment to the Miami 21 Code necessary; and
