The United States Postal Service has acquired the entire block bounded by NW 2nd and 3rd Avenues and NW 5th and 6th Streets. Land has been cleared and the design has been completed, preparatory to the construct- ion of the Flagter Station Post Office. The new postal facility was necessitated by the expansion of the federal courts in the present US Post Office - Federal Courthouse located on NE 1st Avenue between NE 3rd and 4th Streets. The new building will provide 26, 350 square feet on one floor to accommodate 110 employees. Parking spaces are provided for 55 visitors: 73 employees: 80 carriers and 24 trucks. The site of this new facility is presently zoned R-4: C-2 and C-4. Post Offices are conditional uses in C-1 zoning district and first allowed as a permitted use in C-5. The Planning Department has recommended that, as certain portions of the Downtown Government Center are acquired by government agencies, these be re -zoned to GU (Govern- mental Use). This recommendation has been followed in the instance of the City of Miami Police Headquarters and the State et Fbride Regional Service Center, As the site of the rlagler Station Post`Office abuts the twvr.rnntentt Center and is an extenslrin Of the governs mental functions to be leeatetl in the t overnnient Center, tlU coning is appropriate tnr this site. The following factors should be considered in establishing this governmental uses The Post Office is compatible with the surrounding area and neighborhood. Uses to the south, to the t overnment Center are governmental in nature, 11-g5 Is to the ltttmediate west, apartments and hotels are to the north, and apartments and an industrial plant are to the east. 2. This facility is in conformity with the Miami Compre- hensive Neighborhood Plan and the Government Center Master Plan. 3. This fatrittty will have little impact on traffic patterns in the area. Principal truck access will be from 1'g5 and NW 3rd Avenue. Automobile and pedestrian access wilt be frotrt NW 2ttd Avenue' an arterial street. 4. Little detrimental impact is foreseen by the establish- ment of this facility in terms of light, air and drain- age, and it should serve to stabilize and even enhance property values in the area through the provision of a landscaped plaza and mini park. 5. The scale of the facility is consistent with surrounding development, providing an easy transition from the monumental scale of buildings in the Government Center to the one -and -two story scale to the north. 6. The use of this Post Office at this location provides an essential service to the downtown and central area of Miami. 7. Per the site and development plan, as submitted, the design of the facility respects the pedestrian scale by incorporating a landscaped plaza, mini parks, and landscaping. Flowever, the site and development plans, as presented, have been significantly modified in the following aspects; • a An S' ft. etiAN..lnk fence surmounted `tty S*strantt barbed w re replaces the gP eol'ld well on the north. west and south sides cif the site, shown on the plans, b) Stained and scored concrete replaces the quarry tile in the plaza shown in the site and development plans, Further, the amount and location of tardaeaptng shown to the parking areas does not conform to City of Miami requirements. Finally, the wall on the north, west and south sides of the site should be moved back 0 least -5' to allow landscape plant material to be placed between the wall and sidewalk, to meet City of Miami requirements, RECOMMENDATIONS PLANNDNO DEPARTMENT APPROVAL OF THE CHANGE OF ZONING, BUT RECOIAI- MENDING THAT FINAL CONSTRUCTION BE BROUGHT INTO CONFORMITY WITH THE SITE AND DEVELOP- MENT PLAN AS SUBMITTED, OR 13E OTHERWISE MODtrtED, SUBJECT TO FINAL APPROVAL BY THE DEPARTMENT.
