R ECOMMENDATION:
With two exceptions, the zoning classification boundaries should be
retained as they currently exist. The exceptions are: the R-5 (High
Density Multiple) zoning classification established on the south side
of N. E. 69th Street between N. E. 7th Court (extended) and Biscayne
Bay, which should be changed to an R-4 (Medium Density Multiple)
zoning classification, and the R-1 (One Family Dwelling) zoning clas-
sification established on the Legion Memorial Park Picnic Island
located off -shore at approximately N. E. 64th Street in Biscayne Bay,
which should be changed to a P-R (Public Park and Recreational Use)
zoning classification.
BACKGROUND:
On March 16, 1972, the City Commission reviewed with Mrs. Grace
Rockafellar, President of the Northeast Taxpayer's Association, the
potentiality of initiating a rro ratorium on high-rise construction in
the vicinity of N. E. 71 st Street and Biscayne Bay. The City Com-
mission and the City Attorney informed Mrs. Rockafellar that it
was inadvisable for the City to institute such moratorium and re-
ferred Mrs. Rockafellar to the City Attorney for further consideration.
The City Attorney thereupon advised the City Manager's office to request
the Planning Department to initiate a comprehensive zoning study of the
area in question, as a base for future zoning consideration in the study
area.
ANALYSIS:
Boundaries: Study area boundaries were drawn using the major physi-
cal elements of Biscayne Bay on the east and Biscayne Boulevard on
the west, N. E. 72nd Street on the north and N. E. 60th Street on the
south. The area under study includes several older, well established
and well maintained residential subdivisions such as Washington Place,
Acadia, Baywood, Elmira, region Park, Fallesen Park, Knight's
Addition and Lemon City. Originally, these subdivisions terminated
in a mangrove swamp which constituted the west shore of Biscayne
Bay. As development proceeded, the mangrove swamp was gradually
filled and streets were extended eastward over a natural ridge and
down to the bayshore. Many of these later residences were built on
relatively low land, as there were no requirements at that time to
fill to elevations that are now made mandatory by certain flood criteria.
Land Use: Approximately twenty-six (26) percent of the land area within
the study boundaries is developed in single family residences, and six-
teen (16) percent in low, medium and high density, multiple residential
development. In the northern portion of the study area, residential
development changes abruptly from single family to high density, mul-
tiple family which is indicative of an incompatible residential land use
pattern. Residential development in the southern portion of the study
area is representative of a more gradual blending of residential densities
with medium to low density multiple family development adjacent to the
park changing to single family development further south.

The vast majority of single family homes in the area are extremely
well maintained and are in sound condition. Relatively few are of frame
construction. Only five (5) homes were found to be in "fair" condition,
indicating the need for minor improvement such as exterior paint. One
vacant commercial structure located on Biscayne Boulevard was found
to be in "poor" or a deteriorated condition.
Multiple residential development in the area is good quality and much of
it is of relative new construction. An area of older multiple residential
units is located south of Legion Park in proximity to Biscayne Boulevard.
Although structures in this area are of sound condition, it is likely that
they will subject to pressures of redevelopment in the future as the de-
mand for better quality apartments with greater amenities increases.
Structures housing higher population densities are located in closer
proximity to the bayfront. One such high rise facility has created a vi-
sual landmark for the area which can be seen for several miles around.
There are approximately 444 multiple family residential units as com-
pared with 268 existing one and two-family housing units. A large
multiple -family residential development is under construction on the
bayshore between N. E. 62nd and N. E. 64th Streets, and when complete,
will add an additional 421 residential units to the area.
Of the remaining fifty-eight (58) percent of land area, the City of Miami
Legion Memorial Park and Picnic Island, and the Harvey Seeds Post of
the American Legion represent seventeen (17) percent in public and
semi-public land use. Approximately seven (7) percent or 12.0 acres
of the land in the study area is vacant, of which 4.4 acres is zoned for
R-1 use, 1.7 acres for R-3 use, 0.4 acre for R-4 use, 5.4 acres for
R-5 use, and 0. 1 acre is zoned for C-2 use. Commercial land use
represents four (4) percent of the total land area and primarily re-
flects motel, office, and local commercial uses on the east side of
Biscayne Boulevard. The remaining thirty (30) percent of the land
area lies in street rights -of -way.
Population: Study of population character'.stics as derived from the
1970 Census reveals that approximately 760 persons resided in the
study area in 1970. A percentage breakdown of this population by
age group lists twelve (12) percent under 18 years of age, fifty-seven
(57) percent between 18 and 61 years of age, and thirty-one (31) percent
62 years of age and older. As vacant tracts of land within the study area
are developed into medium and high density apartment complexes, popu-
lation figures in the 18 to 61 years of age category should decidedly in-
crease. Residents of the area are found to be active in various civic,
professional and fraternal associations located in the immediate area
and in the Greater Miami Community. A multiplicity of homeowner
association groups are to be found in the area covering varying juris-
dictional. boundaries. Quite often, these groups are able to coalesce
in common purpose for area improvements.
Traffic: Circulation in the northern half of the study area consists of a
series of loop streets in operation between Biscayne Boulevard and
Biscayne Bay (east -west). Streets in the southern half of the area, for
the most part, dead-end at the Bay. The lack of an inter -dependent
collector street providing a north -south corridor within the study area,
with limited access to the Boulevard, is evident in that there are con -
Page 3 of 1
flicting turning movements caused at every street intersection with the
Boulevard.
Streets serving existing and proposed multi -family residential sites
are N. E. 69th, N. E. 64th and N. E. 63rd Streets. These streets
serve both the higher density, multiple -family residences located
near the Bay and the low density, single-family areas closer to
Biscayne Boulevard. Only one of these streets, N. E. 69th Street,
has been developed to its full potential in service to high density mul-
tiple residential development. The other two streets serving multiple
residential development were found to be capable of handling current
and projected traffic demand with only some minor road improvements
required. However, the dependence upon a street system which allows
traffic generated by the higher density areas to flow through lower
density areas in route to and from the Boulevard is unfortunate and
reflects a poor traffic circulation pattern. The presence of noises
and fumes from passing automobiles, and the possible endangerment
to children at play does not provide a favorable living environment for
anyone.
Traffic signals are located at the intersection of Biscayne Boulevard
with N. E. 61 st, 66th, and 71st Streets. Northeast 66th Street has a
traffic activated traffic signa ;. in connection with egress from the park
entrance road and a school pedestrian crossing serving Morningside
Elementary School. The school is located west of the Boulevard at
N. E. 5th Avenue between N. E. 66th and 68th Streets. An additional
traffic signal is programmed at the intersection of N. E. 64th Street
and Biscayne Boulevard.
Utilities: Within the past several years, the City has taken steps to
improve drainage conditions caused by the unfortunate sequence in which
residential development preceded the requirements of filling land to
elevations meeting flood criteria. Many of the homes built eastward of
the natural ridge now exist in the circumstance of being at a lower ele-
vation than the filled and bulkheaded shoreline. Additionally, the require-
ment that drainage of any given property be taken care of on that property
has too often been overlooked in regard to single family development
while strictly enforced for other types of development.
Biscayne Boulevard, which serves as a collector of the study area's one
and two block long streets, also functions as a main artery for intra-
city traffic, commercial development, and tourism. Because of this
complexity of function, the Florida Department of Transportation is
currently holding a series of public hearings in the Greater Miami Area
prior to the completion of plans for improving the Boulevard. Upon
completion of the hearings, David Volkert Associates, transportation
consultants, will make a "ways and means" survey of the Boulevard from
N. E. 54th Street to N. E. 123rd Street for the Florida Department of
Transportation. Results of their engineering -economic evaluation are
expected in January, 1973. Under consideration are various means by
which increased traffic demands can be met in the corridor with minimum
disruption of existing development and community amenities. The public
hearings and consultant studies will be exploring widening the present
four -lane boulevard facility to six or eight lanes; realignment of all or a
portion of the boulevard from N. E. 36th Street to N. E. 163rd Street;
and the possible redevelopment of the boulevard as an "express street. "

Among storm drainage improvements that have been made in the area
by the City of Miami are (1) the bulkheading of the shoreline north of
McKay Towers to prevent flooding in the event of a hurricane, (2) instal-
lation of a large storm sewer in N. E. 71st Street from N. E. 10th
Avenue to the Bay, (3) installation of a storm sewer through the parking
lot of McKay Towers to relieve potential flooding of N. E. 69th Street,
and (4) installation of slotted manhole covers in the State Department of
Transportation's storm sewer line located in N. E. 70th Street to drain
ponded water off into Biscayne Bay. Drainage conditions in the area are
field -checked on a regular basis under potential flooding conditions and
problem situations assigned :`. priority for correction under the City's
Northern Drainage Project. Since the sanitary sewer system was de-
signed to accommodate development allowed under the present zoning
classifications, the sanitary sewer facilities in the study area are
adequate.
Public and Semi -Public: Primary public and semi-public facilities
in the area are the City of Miami Legion Memorial Park, and the
Harvey Seeds Post of the American Legion. In June of 1967, the
City of Miami completed purchase of the park formerly known as
the American Legion Property, located at N. E. 66th Street and
Biscayne Boulevard. This exceptionally attractive bayfront land
extends from Biscayne Boulevard to Biscayne Bay, and includes an
off -shore picnic island and submerged land. The property has 760
linear feet of waterfront, which is the only significant public access
to the Bay within the study area. The park is accessible at present
via vehicular entrance on Biscayne Boulevard and pedestrian gates
located at N. E. 7th Avenue on the south and N. E. 7th Court on the
north. Subsequent to purchase of the proper ty, the City has on numer-
ous occasions reviewed development nroposals •'ith residents and civic
organizations in the vicinity of the park. Development proposals for
the park reflect that the park land. including the picnic island, will be
left in its existing natural state with the existing structure on the park
property renovated and rempdeled as a Community Center serving pri-
marily adult interests.
The Legion Home, which is adjacent to the park on the south, serves
as both a center of activity for the area, as well as for the entire
Greater Miami Community. The facility is comprised of auditoriums,
meeting rooms, recreational rooms, and a restaurant and lounge.
Zoning: Zoning classification patterns in the study area experienced
their most notable change upon the adoption of the Comprehensive Zoning
Ordinance (#6871) in June of I961. Prior to this date, commercial zoning
in the study area, along Biscayne Boulevard, consisted of only one clas-
sification, B-1, with all properties north of Legion Park designated as
R-1 and the park and properties south in R-4 and R-1 classifications.
The two picnic islands off -shore from the park held no zoning classifica-
tion but were designated for municipal use.
Upon adoption of the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance in 1961, considera-
ble portions of the undeveloped bayshore north of Legion Park were rezoned
from R-1 to an R-4 and R-5 classification causing an abrupt and radical
change in the residential zoning pattern. The park remained in an R-4
classification and the picnic islands were placed in an R-1 zoning classi-
fication as were all unzoned spoil islands and submerged lands in the

City jurisdiction. Areas south of the park changed from R-1 and R-4
classifications to that of an R -3 classification and commercial zoning
along Biscayne Boulevard changed from B-1 to C-1 and C-2 classifica-
tions.
Only two significant zoning changes occurred in the following decade
marked by the years 1961 through 197Z. The City's Legion Memorial
Park property, excluding the picnic islands, was changed from an R-4
and C-I classification to a P-R zoning classification, also, the Circuit
Court of the Eleventh Judicial Circuit ordered a zoning change from
R-1 to R-3 on property recorded as Tropical Terrace Subdivision.
located at the intersection of N. E. 69th Street and N. E. 70th Street.
The picnic islands were enlarged and joined through fill operations
in connection with the deepening of the Intracoastal Waterway during
this period, and were officially deeded to the City by the State for
recreational purposes in January of 1966. However, the resulting
single island still retained its R - t zoning classification and exists
under that classification to date.
Tabulations made on petition action of all types (zoning changes, vari-
ances, conditional uses, street closures, public and semi-public
requests) during the ten year period from 1 °61 to 1972, reflect that
changes have been made only after thorough contemplation of each
requested change. Perusal of past advisory recommendations leading
to City Commission action reflect a consistent awareness and apprecia-
tion for the area's environmental amenities, resident population char-
acteristics and problems.
CONCLUSIONS:
Maintain the present zoning pattern and classifications of the study
area, with the exception of the P-. - ~ .'oned property on N. E. 69th
Street and the R-1 zoned Legion Meoiorial Park Picnic Island because:
the "basic •haractcr'• of the area has remained unchanged
over the past eleven years. This is illustrated by the fact
that zoning patterns and predominant land uses in the study
area have existed, largely unchanged, since May, 1961.
The utilization of undeveloped bayfront properties for high
rise and condominium apartments has, however, substan-
tially altered the "general appearance" of the area.
the desirability of the area for all types of residential use
and the continuing quality of development have not diminished
although radical change exists between allowable intensities
of residential use in some portions of the study area. To
varying degrees, this may be credited to the housing market,
the area's proximity to the Urban Center, the availability of
vacant bayfront acreage, as well as to the attitude of residents
of the area in maintaining their properties and in encourage-
ment of quality sta'idards for new development. It is antici-
pated that vacant at rcage in the northern portion of the study
area will be placed in multiple residential use and that the
older multiple residential areas south of Legion Park will be

it is not in the public interest and welfare to have traffic
generated by high density residential areas passing through
lower density areas in route to and from Biscayne Boulevard.
The local streets were designed to serve a low density resi-
dential zoning pattern (R - 1) and were not intended to serve
higher density residential classifications (R-3, R-4 and R-5).
However, recognizing the need to provide more traffic capacity,
several streets have either been redeveloped or are scheduled
for redevelopment in the near future.
• municipal facilities and services established in the study area,
such as parks, schools, and storm and sanitary systems, have
been designed and developed with the current zoning pattern as
a guide. Although these facilities are capable of meeting cur-
rent and projected population needs. they would not be capable
of handling further increases in density patterns.
• Biscayne Boulevard is part of a traffic service system on which
the area residents are dependent butwhich is largely outside of
the local jurisdiction. The complexity of resolving the functional
status of Biscayne Boulevard as a main artery for intra-city
traffic, commercial development and tourism, and that of its
function as a collector of adjacent residential communities
must be recognized and considered with respect to any proposal
for zoning change in the community.
fa
Change the zoning classification on property located on N. E. 69th Street
from R-5 (High Density Multiple) to R-4 (Medium Density Multiplelbecausc:
the change would be in the public's interest and welfare. The
poor circulation pattern of the area forces traffic generated by
the higher density areas to pass through single family develop-
ment traveling to and from Biscayne Boulevard. For reasons
of safety and preservation of a favorable living environment for
all residents of the area, it is advisable that a more compatible
residential classification be applied to the existing R-5 zoned area.
the establishment of a high density multiple residential lone (R-5)
adjacent to an existing low density, single family* zone (R- 1) is
an abrupt and radical change of zoning classifications and density -
patterns.
a change to an R-4 classification would be consistent with other
zoning in the area and establish more of a balance between
medium and low density residential land uses.

Change the zoning classification on the off -shore picnic island from R-1
(One Family Dwelling) to P-R (Public Park and Recreational Use), because,
the change would be in keeping with the City's park and recrea-
tional objectives as expressed inthe Comprehensive Plan.
the island was dedicated to the City of Miami specifically for
public park and recreational purpose and if failed to be used
for this purpose, the property will revert back to the Trustees
of the Internal Improvement Fund of the State of Florida.
the change of zoning to P-R is consistent with zoning as applied
to Legion Memorial Park. The park, which is used in conjunc-
tion with the island, was changed from an R-4 and C-I classi-
fication to a P-R classification in September of 1968.

susJECT: Northeast Area Study Re -Evaluation
REFERENCES:Northeast Area Study - October 6, 1972
ENCLOSURES:
A
In accordance with the Planning and Zoning Board's request for further evaluation
of zoning proposals as presented and discussed with reference to the Northeast
Area Study at the meeting of Det:ember 4, 1972, following are the Planning Depart-
ment' s recommendations:
RE-EVALUATION OF R-3 AND R-4 ZONING BOUNDARIES IN THE VICINITY
OF N. E. 62nd STREET AND BISCAYNE BAY - CHANGE RECOMMENDED:
The adjacent R-3 and R-4 zoning classification boundaries running between N. E.
62nd and 64th Streets have been established since the enactment of the Comprehensive
Zoning Ordinance in 1961. This existing zoning pattern, however, is not uniform
in that a small area presently zoned R-4 intrudes into an area zoned R-3. The
department recommends that this segment of R-4 zoning, delineated on the attached
map, be rezoned to an R-3 zoning classification, in order to properly delineate and
provide a more uniform zoning district. The change of zoning would also limit the
intensity of development allowed adjacent to the lower density residential develop-
ment that exists along N. E. 62nd Street and N. E. 63rd Street. Although the
predominant land use along N. E. 62nd Street is single family residential, rezoning
the subject R-4 zoned area to a lesser classification than R-3 would not be appropriate,
due to the predominant low density, multiple family land use in the overall area.
RE-EVALUATION OF RECOMMENDED CHANGE OF ZONING CLASSIFICATION
ON PROPERTIES LOCATED ON N. E. 69th STREET FROM R-5 to R-4 - NO CHANGE:
The potential development commensurate with the existing R -5 zoning classification
would, from a traffic standpoint, increase the amount of traffic on the existing
circulation system which serves the entire low density single family residential
area between N. E. 69th Street and N. E. 72nd Street. Increased traffic would
have a detrimental effect upon the low density residential area and provide potential
hazards for the residents.

Mr. David Simpson, Sr.
March 13, 1973
As traffic generated by high density development on N. E. 69th Street cannot be
restricted solely to that street it must be assumed that other streets in the vicinity
having access to Biscayne Boulevard will to some degree also be affected. The
streets involved would be N. E. 69th, 70th, 71st, and N. E. 72nd, all of which
serve a total of 184 single family r esidences. Streets with controlled access to the
Boulevard would tie especially affected by the increased traffic, noise and air
pollution. Unfortunately, physical and environmental constraints rule out solutions
by such means as a bayside collector street.
The lower zoning classification recommendation associated with R-4 medium density
development permitting 49 to 58.dwelling units per gross residential acre is more
suitable for the area than existing A -5 high density zoning classification that permits
59 to 96 dwelling units per gross residential area. This recommendation is an
acknowledgement of the property owners' right to a reasonable use of his property,
the need for curtailing a potentially hazardous and environmentally degrading traffic
situation in the adjacent single family residential area, and an attempt to propose
a zoning classification more compatible with the other classifications existing in
the area.
RE-EVALUATION OF R-1 and R-3 ZONING BOUNDARIES IN VICINITY OF
N. E. 60th STREET - NO CHANGE:
With the exception of a zoning change on property located east of North Bayshore •
Drive at N. E. 60th Street, the R-1 and R-3 boundary lines in this area have been
established since 1952. The few remaining R-1 zoned properties lying north of
N. E. 60th Street have remained under an R-1 classification at the request of the
property owners. Since these properties have teen zoned R-1 for such a long
period of time and are contiguous to a substantial R-1 zone to the south, no change
is recommended for this area.
