E. ANALYSIS
Miami 21 Code
Exception Criteria
Exception pursuant to Article 3, Section 3.15.3 of Miami 21 to allow an Attainable Housing
Development on City -owned land abutting the T3 Transect Zone.
Criteria 1: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.6(b)(4): The application shall be reviewed for compliance
with the regulations of this Code and..."
Analysis 1: Pursuant to Article 3, Section 3.15.3, by process of Exception with City
Commission Approval, an Attainable Housing on City -owned land is allowed abutting a T3
Transect Zone. Pursuant to the Affordable Housing Certificate issued by the Department of
Housing and Community Development, this project is certified as Attainable Mix -Income
Housing ("Attachment 1"). Additionally, at the time of this report, it was found that 1199
Northwest 62 Street is owned by the City of Miami. Thus, this project has been reviewed for
compliance with the regulations of this Code.
Final Decision (PZ-24-18166: 1199 NW 62 ST) — Page 4
Finding 1: Complies.
Criteria 2: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.6(b)(4): "... a traffic study shall be provided as required by
the Planning Director."
Analysis 2: After a review conducted by the City's Transportation Division, the Applicant has
been conditioned to provide a Traffic Study at time of Building Permit (Condition #17).
Finding 2: Conditionally Complies.
Criteria 3: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.6(b)(4): "The review shall consider the manner in which the
proposed Use will operate given its specific location and proximity to less intense Uses..."
Analysis 3: The Project is for an Attainable Housing development, which is a Residential Use.
This section of the Model City neighborhood commonly features residential developments, as
well as other more diverse Uses. Notably, the Property abuts the Liberty Square Affordable
Housing Development to the west. The area does not feature strong transitions, with a T6
Transect Zone directly abutting T3 Transect Zone. In response to this, the Project decreases
in Height from eight (8) stories to three (3) stories abutting the less intensive T3-O, Sub Urban
Transect Zone, Single Family Residence. This Project is conditioned to include a stronger
buffer between the Property and the abutting T3 neighbors (Condition #12). Overall, the
proposed Project fits well into the context of this growing neighborhood and contributes to the
mixture of Uses along the Northwest 62 Street, and Model City neighborhood at -large.
Finding 3: Conditionally Complies.
Criteria 4: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.6(b)(4): "...shall apply Article 4, Table 12 Design Review
Criteria, as applicable."
Analysis 4: The Density, Intensity of the Use, and Height are all permitted by right within the
Miami 21 Code. The area does not feature strong transitions, with a T6 Transect Zone directly
abutting T3 Transect Zone. In response to this, the Project decreases in Height from eight (8)
stories to three (3) stories abutting the less intensive T3-O, Sub Urban Transect Zone, Single
Family Residence. Furthermore, the Applicant has primarily dedicated the T4-R portion of the
Property as an open space, which is appropriate for the context abutting a less intensive T3-
0, Sub Urban Transect Zone, Single Family Residence. This is consistent with Article 4, Table
12, "Create transitions with Abutting properties that reinforce and enhance the Neighborhood
Final Decision (PZ-24-18166: 1199 NW 62 ST) — Page 5
context."
Furthermore, the Density, Intensity, and Use are well calibrated to the bus transit available in
close proximity to the Property. Notably, the Project is a 1-minute walk away from the
Northwest 62 Street & Northwest 12 Avenue bus stop. With the addition of the steady tree
planting along both Northwest 62 Street & Northwest 12 Avenue, the Project helps enhance
the City's tree canopy, facilitating increased walkability and promoting transit use. This is
consistent with Article 4, Table 12, "Calibrate Density, Intensity, and Uses to facilitate
walkability and promote transit use."
Finding 4: Complies.
Warrant Criteria
Warrant pursuant to Article 3, Section 3.15.4, of Miami 21 to allow for the development of an
Attainable Mixed -Income Housing Development.
• Article 3, Section 3.15.4(d) to allow parking to extend into the Second Layer above
the First Story (with a Waiver for the review of the screening material).
• Article 3, Section 3.15.4(e) Pedestrian cross block passage shall not be required.
• Article 3, Section 3.15.4(0 to allow a Development abutting two (2) Thoroughfares
to have only one (1) Principal Frontage with no minimum Principal Frontage
Line requirement (Northwest 12 Avenue is the Primary Frontage).
• Article 3, Section 3.15.4(g), the Property is not subject to the maximum Lot
Area requirements (T6-8 portion exceeds 40,000 square feet).
Criteria 1: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.4.d: "The application shall be reviewed for compliance with
this Code."
Analysis 1: Pursuant to Article 3, Section 3.15.4, Attainable Mixed -Income Housing
Developments may be developed in accordance with the specific development flexibilities of
this section. The Applicant has requested to utilize the following flexibilities in this Project:
d. Parking may extend into the Second Layer above the first Story along all Frontages.
The Facade of a parking garage that is not concealed behind a Habitable Liner shall
be screened to conceal from view all internal elements including, but not limited to,
vehicles, plumbing pipes, fans, ducts and all lighting. The size, location, and materials
Final Decision (PZ-24-18166: 1199 NW 62 ST) — Page 6
g•
for such screening elements shall be reviewed by Waiver with referral to the Planning
Department.
e. Pedestrian or Vehicular Cross Block Passages shall not be required.
f. Development Abutting two (2) or more Thoroughfares shall have only one (1) Principal
Frontage and shall not be subject to the minimum Principal Frontage Line requirement.
Determination of which Frontage is to serve as the Principal Frontage shall be made
by the Planning Director upon request by the Zoning Administrator.
Development shall not be subject to maximum Lot Area requirements.
Pursuant to Article 1, Section 1.2, Attainable Mixed -Income Housing is defined as:
"Attainable Mixed -Income Housing: Attainable Mixed -Income Housing shall mean a
Development comprised of Extremely Low Income Housing, Affordable Housing, and
Workforce Housing; and may be subject to Density bonuses."
Based on the definition, this project complies with the requirements of this Code Section. The
Project will serve those earning between 22% - 80% AMI. The Project will contain most of the
units for rent to persons earning at or below 60% AMI, including several units reserved for
Extremely Low -Income tenants (earning less than 30% of AMI). This is further spelled out in
the Affordable Housing Certificate ("Attachment 1") issued by the City's Department of
Economic and Community Development. Additionally, the associated Covenant has been
conditioned pursuant to Article 3, Section 3.15.1.
Finding 1: Conditionally Complies.
Criteria 2: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.4.d: "The review shall consider the intent of the Transect..."
Analysis 2: Pursuant to Miami 21 Zoning Code, the Property has a zoning classification of
"T6-8-0" Urban Core Transect Zone — Open, and "T4-R" General Urban Transect Zone —
Restricted. The vast majority of the Building will be situated on the T6-8-0 portion of the
Property.
Pursuant to Article 4, Table 1, "THE URBAN CORE ZONE consists of the highest Density and
greatest variety of Uses, including Civic Buildings of regional importance. A network of small
blocks has Thoroughfares with wide Sidewalks, with steady tree planting and Buildings set
close to the Frontage with frequent doors and windows."This Project aligns well with the intent
of the "T6" Urban Core Transect Zone. The Building has an appropriate level of Density and
a mix of Uses (Multifamily Residential and General Commercial) consistent with what is
allowed by the Miami 21 Code. The Project also includes wide sidewalks and steady tree
Final Decision (PZ-24-18166: 1199 NW 62 ST) — Page 7
planting to create a friendly and walkable pedestrian environment, along with frequent doors
and generous glazing at the ground level.
Pursuant to Article 4, Table 1: "THE GENERAL URBAN ZONE consists of a Mixed -Use but
primarily residential urban fabric with a range of Building types including rowhouses, small
apartment Buildings, and bungalow courts. Setbacks are short with an urban Streetscape of
wide Sidewalks and trees in planters. Thoroughfares typically define medium sized blocks."
The T4-R portion of the Property will be developed primarily as an open space, which is
appropriate for the context of the site, with respect to the abutting and a less intensive, T3-O,
Sub Urban Transect Zone, Single Family Residence.
Finding 2: Complies.
Criteria 3: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.4.d: "The review shall consider...the guiding principles of
the Miami 21 Code...."
Analysis 3: Pursuant to Article 2, Section 2.1.3.3(b), "Development should adequately
accommodate vehicles while respecting the pedestrian and the spatial form of public space."
The Warrant pursuant to Article 3, Section 3.15.4(d) to allow parking to extend into the Second
Layer above the First Story (with a Waiver for the review of the screening material) is directly
tied to this guiding principle. The Property is required to accommodate a parking minimum for
the mixture of Uses proposed; however, due to the depth of the Property, this is difficult to
accomplish. For the development to accommodate the required vehicles while respecting the
experience and visibility from the pedestrian realm, the Code includes flexibility by allowing
parking to extend into the Second Layer above the First Story by Warrant. Utilization of this
triggers a Waiver to provide a review of the parking screening to ensure it complements the
building, and the spatial form of the public realm, see Wavier analysis below. The Project
balances the accommodation of vehicles while respecting the pedestrian realm well, aligning
with this guiding principle.
Finding 3: Complies.
Criteria 4: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.4.d: "The review shall consider...the manner in which the
proposed Use will operate given its specific location and proximity to less intense Uses."
Analysis 4: The Project is for a mixed -use Attainable Mixed -Income Housing building,
primarily a Residential use with a General Commercial Space on the ground level. This section
of the Model City neighborhood commonly features residential developments, and is quickly
developing to include a wider variety of Uses. Notably, the Property abuts the Liberty Square
Affordable Housing Development to the west, which features a similar mix of Uses. As
Final Decision (PZ-24-18166: 1199 NW 62 ST) — Page 8
depicted in the plan set, the T4-R portion of the Property will be developed primarily be an
open space, which is appropriate for the context of the site, with respect to the abutting and a
less intensive T3-O, Sub Urban Transect Zone, Single Family Residence. Overall, the
proposed Project fits well into the context of this growing neighborhood and contributes to the
mixture of Uses along Northwest 62 Street, and Model City at -large.
Finding 4: Complies.
Criteria 5: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.6(b)(4): "...shall apply Article 4, Table 12 Design Review
Criteria, as applicable."
Analysis 5: Pursuant to Article 4, Table 12, "Establish a pattern of windows and openings that
are intrinsic to the Building design and respectful of the Neighborhood context; when not
possible due to site circumstances, embellish walls with architectural design treatment and/or
Art." Consistent with Article 4, Table 12, and the Intent of the T6, Urban Core Transect Zone,
the Project features frequent doors and a generous amount of glazing at the ground level.
When not possible, the Applicant has provided architectural design treatment and Art. For
example, the Project includes a large vertical Art Murals at the western corner along 62 Street,
depicted on sheets A300 and A301 of the plan set.
Finding 5: Complies.
Warrant pursuant to Article 3, Section 3.15.5(c) to allow a 15% parking reduction
Criteria 1: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.4.d: "The application shall be reviewed for compliance with
this Code."
Analysis 1: Pursuant to Article 3, Section 3.15.5:
Parking requirements for those units that qualify as Affordable or Attainable Mixed -Income
Housing may be reduced as stated below. The parking reductions below may be cumulative;
however in no event shall parking be reduced by more than eighty percent (80%) of the
spaces required.
(a) A thirty-five percent (35%) reduction in required parking is permitted by Right.
(c) An additional reduction of up to fifteen percent (15%) of required parking may be
permitted by Warrant, upon a showing that the reduction in off-street parking is justified
in view of the nature and type of prospective occupancy and the economic
Final Decision (PZ-24-18166: 1199 NW 62 ST) — Page 9
circumstances involved, and that the impacts from such reduction are not likely to
unduly burden traffic and parking facilities in the neighborhood.
The Applicant is seeking a 50% reduction: 35% as of right pursuant to 3.15.5(a), and 15%
pursuant to 3.15.5(c), as depicted in Figure 2 below. Low income and Extremely Low -Income
tenants are less likely to utilize a personal car and are more likely to utilize public
transportation. As such, the standard parking requirements are unnecessary in this case and
would diminish the number of available units for the Low Income and Extremely Low -Income
tenants if required to provide additional parking onsite. Given the proposed unit mix, and close
proximity to transit, the proposed parking reduction is appropriate.
Finding 1: Complies.
Criteria 2: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.4.d: "The review shall consider the intent of the Transect..."
Analysis 2: Pursuant to Miami 21 Zoning Code, the Property has a zoning classification of
"T6-8-0" Urban Core Transect Zone — Open, and "T4-R" General Urban Transect Zone —
Restricted. The vast majority of the Building will be situated on the T6-8-0 portion of the
Property.
Pursuant to Article 4, Table 1, "THE URBAN CORE ZONE consists of the highest Density and
greatest variety of Uses, including Civic Buildings of regional importance. A network of small
blocks has Thoroughfares with wide Sidewalks, with steady tree planting and Buildings set
close to the Frontage with frequent doors and windows."This Project aligns well with the intent
of the "T6" Urban Core Transect Zone. The Building has an appropriate level of Density and
a mix of Uses (Multifamily Residential and General Commercial).
Pursuant to Article 4, Table 1: "THE GENERAL URBAN ZONE consists of a Mixed -Use but
primarily residential urban fabric with a range of Building types including rowhouses, small
apartment Buildings, and bungalow courts. Setbacks are short with an urban Streetscape of
wide Sidewalks and trees in planters. Thoroughfares typically define mediumsized blocks."
The T4-R portion of the Property will be developed primarily as open space, which is
appropriate for the context of the site, with respect to the abutting and a less intensive, T3-0,
Sub Urban Transect Zone, Single Family Residence.
Finding 2: Complies.
Final Decision (PZ-24-18166: 1199 NW 62 ST) — Page 10
Criteria 3: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.4.d: "The review shall consider...the guiding principles of
the Miami 21 Code...."
Analysis 3: The Property is located on City -owned land and is presently underutilized;
through the proposed redevelopment as an Attainable Mix -Income Housing development and
the infill of Vacant land within the City inventory, the Property will better serve the immediate
community and the City at -large. This is consistent with Guiding Principle 2.1.3.1(b), "Growth
strategies should encourage Infill and redevelopment".
Finding 3: Complies.
Criteria 4: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.4.d: "The review shall consider...the manner in which the
proposed Use will operate given its specific location and proximity to less intense Uses."
Analysis 4: The Project is for a mixed -use Attainable Mixed -Income Housing building,
primarily a Residential use with a General Commercial Space on the ground level. This section
of the Model City neighborhood commonly features residential developments, and is quickly
developing to include a wider variety of Uses. Notably, the Property abuts the Liberty Square
Affordable Housing Development to the west, which features a similar mix of Uses. As
depicted in the plan set, the T4-R portion of the Property will be developed primarily be an
open space, which is appropriate for the context of the site, with respect to the abutting and a
less intensive T3-0, Sub Urban Transect Zone, Single Family Residence. Overall, the
proposed Project fits well into the context of this growing neighborhood and contributes to the
mixture of Uses along Northwest 62 Street, and Model City at -large.
Finding 4: Complies.
Criteria 5: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.6(b)(4): "...shall apply Article 4, Table 12 Design Review
Criteria, as applicable."
Analysis 5: The Project features only one driveway, 22 feet wide, along Northwest 12 Avenue.
This is consistent with Article 4, Table 14, "Minimize the number and width of driveways and
Curb cuts to reduce conflicts between pedestrian and vehicular circulation", creating a friendly
and walkable pedestrian environment less interrupted by vehicular circulation into the
Property. Furthermore, with the requested reduction, the Project does not need to include on -
street parking to meet the parking requirement. This is consistent with Article 4, Table 14,
"Minimize the impact of Parking and Loading on the public realm and adjacent properties."
Finding 5: Complies.

Waiver pursuant to Article 3, Section 3.15.4(d) for the review of the size, location, and
materials for such screening elements.
Criteria: Article 7, Section 7.1.2.6(b)(4): "...shall apply Article 4, Table 12 Design Review
Criteria, as applicable."
Analysis: The Parking Screen will obscure visibility of the two (2) of the parking levels as
shown in Figure 3 below. The size, location, and materiality complement the overall building
design and are consistent with Article 4, Table 12, "Design all Building Elevations visible from
the public realm with architectural elements and materials that complement the Principal
Building Facade to create a cohesive architectural composition."
Two (2) conditions (Condition #4 and #5) have been added to enhance the parking screen to
be more consistent with Article 4, Table 12, "Screen Parking Structures and surface Parking
to conceal internal elements including, but not limited to, vehicles, lights, and mechanical
equipment from the public realm both day and night." Condition #4 was added to amend the
plan to include a back plate for the internal lighting of the parking area to ensure light does
not spillover into the public realm at night. Whereas, Condition #5 encourages slight changes
to the design to enhance its effectiveness of the screening during the day.
Finding: Conditionally Complies.

We denied it because the map on Gridics does not show this property as being within % mile of a transit corridor.
Lakisha, if you agree with the County's analysis that that section of NW 62 Street qualifies please let me know and
clear the comment. I'd recommend we update the map so we don't have the issue again in the future and so that other
properties can use the benefits afforded by being with % mile of the corridor.

Subject: Liberty Square Phase Four - Zoning Comment
Importance: High
CAUTION: This is an email from an external source. Do not click links or open attachments unless you recognize the
sender and know the content is safe.
Good afternoon Mrs. Hull,
I hope all is well!
Thank you again for all your help with Liberty Square Phase Four, this phase is extremely important for the community
especially during these times. Now that the warrant is approved, we are close in attaining phase permits for two of the
three buildings and working hard with the rest of City of Miami to get it done. Zoning has denied building 1 (1415 NW
63''d ST) with a comment that may have a significant impact, please see comment below:
• This Property does not qualify as an Attainable Mixed -Income Housing Development. All Developments under
Section 3.15.2 shall be located within a quarter (%) mile of a Transit Corridor, or within a TOD area. This
Property is located outside of the TOD and the Transit Corridor boundaries. This comment shall be resolved to
obtain the approval of master building permit, due that the current design should not be modified to comply.
After analyzing the definition of Transit Corridor, we studied the bus routes that come from Martin Luther King (MLK)
Blvd and go directly through the Liberty Square neighborhood and noticed that the community is "served by one or more
mass transit route(s) with designated transit vehicle(s) operating at an average of ten (10) minute or less headway Monday
thru Friday between the hours of 7am thru 7pm." Please see attached letter from Miami Dade Department of
Transportation and Public Works confirming Liberty Square is served with adequate transit routes to comply with the City
of Miami's definition of Transit Corridor.
As you know, Liberty City and MLK Blvd (NW 62nd Street) are both significant parts of the City of Miami's cultural and
historical importance. Public transportation plays a vital role in the daily lives of residents in Liberty Square, providing
them with access to employment, education, and essential services, while also contributing to a more sustainable and
equitable community. The Transit Corridor designation is a great tool to promote mixed -income developments in parts of
the City that provide our workforce with access to affordable transportation options. Liberty Square Phase Four will build
upon the prior three phases to continue serving as a catalyst for growth in Liberty City and improving the quality of life
for all residents within the community. Please advise what actions are necessary for the City of Miami to label 62nd ST as
a Transit Corridor, your guidance on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated!
