Staff Report and Business Impact Statement
Purpose:
The proposed ordinance will aid interpretation of Density and Intensity calculations for Lots. The
calculations will benefit from the inclusion of Public Rig ht-of-Way dedications since the last
recorded plat, but not before the City Commission's adoption of its first zoning ordinance on
August 8, 1934, for Density and Intensity purposes. The proposed ordinance will the required
provision of a deed and survey showing such Right -of -Way dedication.
The Miami 21 Code requires the provision of Right -of -Way dedications on building permits,
including new construction, change of use, and additions. Right -of -Way dedications are made via
legal instruments such as q uit-claim deed, Right -of -Way deed, and warranty deed. Currently, the
Miami Zoning Code does not require provision of legal instruments showing dedications made
since the last recorded plat in order to calculate Lot Density and Intensity. The proposed ordinance
will lead to clear, consistent calculation of Density and Intensity for all Lots, including dedicated
Right -of -Way area.
Estimated Direct Economic Impact:
• The proposed ordinance, if enacted, will not result in direct compliance costs for
businesses;
• The proposed ordinance will not result in any new charge or fee on businesses subject to
the proposed ordinance, or for which businesses will be financially responsible; and
• There will be no additional direct municipal regulatory costs, revenues or fees if the City
enacts the proposed ordinance.
Estimated Number of Businesses to be Impacted:
All businesses will benefit from the proposed ordinance, particularly those that have dedicated
Public Right -of -Way.
Additional Information:
None.
Recommendation: Approval
