Recommendation
Approval
REQUEST
Pursuant to Policy LU-1.6.4 of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan ("MCNP"), James
Reyes, Manager, on behalf of the City of Miami (the "Applicant"), is requesting an amendment to
Ordinance No. 10544, the Future Land Use Map ("FLUM") of the MCNP, to change the
designation of the property at 770 Northwest 41 Avenue (the "Subject Property") from "Single -
Family Residential" to "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and Utilities".
The proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) application contains approximately
0.183 acres. Small-scale comprehensive plan amendments involve less than 50 acres of
property and are subject to the Small -Scale Review Process, as outlined in Section 163.3187,
Florida Statutes.
Concurrently, the Applicant is requesting a change to the Miami 21 Zoning Atlas as a
companion item (ePlan File ID: PZ-25-19913). The companion application seeks to change the
Property's zoning designation from T3-R, Sub -Urban Transect Zone — Restricted ("T3-R") to
CI, Civic Institution Transect Zone ("CI").
Based on the Applicant's companion Rezoning Application, they are requesting to amend the
Miami 21 Code's Zoning Atlas for the following area (acres) for the Subject Property, as shown
in Table 1:

THE ACCORDANCE BETWEEN THE MIAMI 21 CODE AND THE MCNP
The City of Miami's ("City") Miami 21 Code, known as the "Miami 21 Code," is declared to be in
accordance with the MCNP, as required by the Local Government Comprehensive Planning and
Land Development Regulation Act, Section 163.3161 et seq., Florida Statutes, as applicable to
the MCNP. The primary goal of the Miami 21 Code is to implement the MCNP. Furthermore, the
zoning boundaries, land development regulations, and residential density limits of the Miami 21
Code must align with the MCNP.

"Density is limited to that of the lowest abutting density. For both the FLU and Zoning Transect, this report will
consider the FLU density's potential maximum, should the surrounding properties change in the future.
The requested CI Zoning Transect would be inconsistent with the existing underlying FLU of
Single -Family Residential due to the allowed uses and development parameters. Therefore, this
companion Comprehensive Plan Amendment is required to accompany the Rezone request.
The Subject Property is legally described in the attached Exhibit "A" and a summary of the
proposed changes to the FLUM and Miami 21 Code's Zoning Atlas, as presented in Table 3.

The Subject Property is bordered by the following streets: Northwest 9 Street to the north,
Northwest 41 Street to the east, Northwest 7 Street to the south, and Northwest 42 Street to the
west. It is a single parcel that is approximately 0.183 acres and is part of the City's Department
of Fire -Rescue expansion of Fire Station 10 (the "Fire Station"), which was built in circa 1963
and is located on three (3) parcels: 4101 NW 7th Street, 750 NW 41st Avenue, and 50 NW 41st
Avenue. Using Geographic Information Systems ("GIS") software, the City Planning Department
staff created a 1%-mile radial buffer ("Study Area") around the Subject Property, as shown in
Figure 1.

regulations and the maintenance of required levels of service for facilities and
services included in the City's adopted concurrency management requirements.
Supporting services such as foster homes and family day care homes for
children and/or adults; and community based residential facilities 1 (6 clients or
less, not including drug, alcohol or correctional rehabilitation facilities) also shall
be allowed pursuant to applicable state law. Places of worship, primary and
secondary schools, child day care centers and adult day care centers are
permissible in suitable locations within Single -Family Residential areas.
Professional offices, tourist and guest homes, museums, and private clubs or
lodges are allowed only in contributing structures within historic sites or historic
districts that have been designated by the Historical and Environmental
Preservation Board and are approved by City Commission within Single -Family
Residential areas, pursuant to applicable land development regulations and the
maintenance of required levels of service for such uses. Density and intensity
limitations for said uses shall be restricted to those of the contributing
structure(s).
A "Community based residential facility" provides room (with or without board),
resident services, and twenty-four hour supervision. Such a facility functions as
a single housekeeping unity. This category includes adult congregate living
facilities, facilities for physically disabled and handicapped persons, for
developmentally disabled persons, for non dangerous mentally ill persons and
for dependent children, as licensed by the Florida Department of Health, and
juvenile and adult residential correctional facilities, including halfway houses,
as licensed or approved by an authorized regulatory agency."
PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATIONS
Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, & Utilities
Areas designated as "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and
Utilities" allow facilities for federal, state and local government activities, major
public or private health, recreational, cultural, religious or educational activities,
and major transportation facilities and public utilities, and general commercial
activities intended to serve the needs of the public. Residential facilities are
allowed up to a maximum density equivalent to "High Density
Multifamily Residential" or if applicable the least intense abutting/adjacent
residential zoning district, subject to the same limiting conditions.
Areas designated as "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and
Utilities allow nonresidential uses such as commercial and office to a maximum
floor lot ratio (FLR) of 6.0 times the net lot area of the subject property.
Properties designated "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation and

NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT
The Subject Property is situated in Miami's Flagami neighborhood at the intersection of two
major throughfares: Northwest 7 Street and Northwest 42 Avenue (the "major thoroughfares").
Based on Figure 1, the Study Area is primarily a mix of low, medium, and high residential
development, with limited commercial and lodging businesses along these major thoroughfares.
The Subject Property is also accessible via the Miami -Dade County Metrobus system, with Bus
Route 7 along Northwest 7 Street and Bus Routes 7 and 42 along Northwest 42 Avenue.
Finally, the Subject Property is located within the City's 1%-mile Transit Corridor.
BACKGROUND DETAILS
The City acquired the Subject Property to replace the existing 63-year-old Fire Station, which
has reached the end of its service life. The site will be redeveloped into a new two-story,
PZ-25-20077: 770 NW 41 AV -Comprehensive Plan Application — Page 5 of 19
3/26/2026
24,300-square-foot station with expanded dormitories, a modern 4-bay apparatus room, and
adequate on -site parking for all personnel. This upgraded facility will enhance the City's Fire
Rescue Department's operational capacity and improve fire, medical, hazardous materials, and
disaster response services within its coverage area.
PROHIBITED EXISTING FLU -DESIGNATED USES
The current MCNP FLU designation for the Subject Property is "Single -Family Residential,"
which is limited to residential structures and supporting services such as foster homes and
family day care homes for children and/or adults, community -based residential facilities, places
of worship, primary and secondary schools, child day care centers, and adult day care centers.
However, it does not allow community support facilities, such as a fire station, to be located on
the Subject Property. Considering the inconsistency in residential density between the Miami 21
Code and the MCNP, this is another reason the Applicant is applying for this CPA.
SOCIOECONOMIC AND DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS
Expanding a new fire station requires analyzing key socioeconomic and demographic factors to
enhance emergency response times and resource allocation within an emergency service area.
Crucial factors include population density (to gauge emergency service demand), median
household income (which influences fire risk and service needs), and age -related vulnerabilities
(areas with a higher percentage of elderly residents).
The subject properties are situated within Census Tract 12086490100 ("Census Tract").
According to the American Community Survey (ACS) 5-year estimates (2019-2023), the
population for this Census Tract is 1,244; for the City of Miami, 446,663; and for Miami -Dade
County, 2,685,296.
The median household income for this Census Tract is $60,250, which is slightly higher by one
(1) percent than the City of Miami median household income ($59,390) and 13.1 percent (%)
less than the Miami -Dade County median household income of $69,805.
When considering "age -based vulnerability," the percentage of people 65 and older was quite
similar across this Census Tract, the City of Miami, and Miami -Dade County, at around 16%. As
the population ages, the relationship between people 65 and older and fire -rescue services
shifts toward higher demand for both fire and Emergency Medical Services, marked by a higher
risk of fire fatalities and an increasing need for medical services for fall -related incidents and
health issues. This information is summarized in Table 4 as shown below.:

GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS: EXISTING LAND USE INVENTOR
Based on Table 5 and Figure 4, the largest count of Existing Land Uses ("ELU") by address
within the Study Area is "Single -Family Residential," accounting for 65%, and it is evenly spread
across approximately three-quarters of the Study Area. The second-largest ELU count per
address is "Duplex Residential," accounting for 10%, and it is concentrated in the southwest part
of the Study Area. The third -largest ELU count per address is "Commercial," accounting for
eight percent, primarily along the main Thoroughfares of Northwest 7 Street and Northwest 42
Avenue.
By area as a percentage of the Study Area, the largest FLU designation is "Single -Family
Residential" at 39%, followed by "Commercial" at 19% and "Multifamily 3+" at 13%.
The Subject Property, part of the expansion of the existing Fire Station, is strategically situated
between low -density residential properties to the north, east, and south, and higher -density
residential zones to the west. Commercial properties are primarily limited to the major
Thoroughfares and the western and northern portions of the Study Area.

GEOSPATIAL ANALYSIS: FUTURE LAND USE INVENTORY
Comparing the FLU designations by percentage of total area between "Citywide" and the "Study
Area" reveals a few observations:
• Single -Family Residential has the highest percentage of FLU -designated area for both
Citywide (27%) and within the Study Area (38%). For the Study Area, when combining
all four residential FLU designations (Single -Family Residential, Duplex Residential,
Medium Density Multifamily Residential, and High Density Multifamily Residential), the
percentage increases to 52%. This pattern of low -density residential development is also
reflected in Table 5.
• "Restricted Commercial" is the second largest FLU -designated area in the Study Area at
23%, while it is the third largest FLU designation citywide (17%). In both cases, they
have the same amount of "Restricted Commercial" area.

SITE VISIT
A site visit for this CPA application allows City Planning Department staff to physically verify
application details, evaluate the proposal's context within the neighborhood, identify potential
conflicts, and speak with residents if the opportunity arises. It helps assess factors such as
traffic, infrastructure, and surrounding land use to help determine whether the request is
appropriate. On March 11, 2026, Planning staff accompanied staff from the City's Fire
Department to tour the site and the neighborhood.
CITY OF MIAMI-RESCUE RESPONSES
During the site visit on March 11, 2026, Planning staff had the chance to speak with Fire Capt.
Coronado from the City's Fire Rescue Department, Fire Station 10C. He gave a tour of the fire
Station and outlined various issues related to its age and the LOS challenges. The following are
some of the issues discussed in general terms:
• Increased call volumes over the past few years
• Blockage of the emergency vehicles due to traffic congestion and backflow on
Southwest 7 Street, causing, in some instances, delayed emergency response times.
• The inability to fit modern, larger fire apparatus, such as a ladder truck, or new service
vehicles into the existing garage bays.
• The increased staffing needs with a "24-hour personnel" to handle call volumes require
more accommodations, which are currently unavailable at this fire station.
• Outdated specialized fire equipment. For example, fire station personnel must manually
lift each used, wet fire hose from an emergency response mission using a mechanical
winch located inside the hose drying tower. A modern hose drying tower often features
powered lifts and good ventilation and can also function as a training tower.
This was followed by an official response from Assistant Fire Chief Adrian Plasencia, MPA,
Technical Services Division, City of Miami Fire -Rescue, regarding the question posed by
Planning staff:
Question from Planning Staff: How will the new Fire Station 10 enhance the quality of life
(such as response times) of the residents in your immediate service area?
Response from Adrian Plasencia, MPA, Assistant Fire Chief ("Asst. Fire Chief Plasencia"):
This is a summary with bullets of his response:
• The existing Fire Station 10 is outdated and no longer meets modern operational,
spatial, or design standards.
PZ-25-20077: 770 NW 41 AV -Comprehensive Plan Application — Page 10 of 19
3/26/2026
• Its current configuration cannot house an aerial fire apparatus (a "ladder truck"), which
is a specialized fire engine equipped with a long, power -operated ladder or platform that
is used to reach upper floors of buildings, rescue people, and spray water from above
during a fire.
• This results in the delayed deployment of aerial units within the service area.
• This delay is especially significant given the number of mid -rise structures in the
surrounding area that require aerial capabilities for fire suppression and rescue.
• Future development plans include additional mid -rise and higher -density buildings,
increasing the need for timely aerial response.
• Replacing Fire Station 10 will provide appropriately designed apparatus bays capable of
accommodating an aerial unit.
• Adding an aerial apparatus at this location will reduce response times and improve
operational effectiveness across the southwest area of the City.
• These improvements address current service gaps, particularly in zones that experience
slower aerial response today.
• A new Fire Station 10 will enhance community safety, support faster emergency
response, and prepare the department for the demands of a growing and increasingly
vertical environment.
The City's Information Systems Manager for the Miami Fire -Rescue Department was able to
provide Planning staff with the "Aerial Average Response Times" map for this Fire Station, as
shown in Figure 5. This is a snippet of a larger map of the entire City. However, what's
important are the "red squares" that indicate response times of approximately 6 to 8 minutes
(the "response time zones"). These response time zones also overlay the MCNP's FLUM-
designated "Restricted Commercial," which permits higher -density and intensity development
along these major Thoroughfares: Northwest 37 Avenue, Northwest 47 Street, and West Flagler
Street.

CONCURRENCY ANALYSES
The Planning Department tested levels of service as required for this application. The Levels of
Service (LOS) testing is based on a potential increase in population of 73 residents, with a new
maximum of 75 residents.
Schools
On March 19, 2026, Miami -Dade County Public Schools submitted its findings that it had tested
the proposed change of land use and zoning and found that the school system has sufficient
capacity to serve the application.
Recreation and Open Space
The MCNP requires a 10-minute, %-mile barrier -free walk to a park entrance to meet public
LOS. The Planning Department conducted a GIS analysis to assess the LOS for this proposal.
Currently, the Subject Property would not meet Parks LOS. At present, there is no mechanism
for mitigation.

The MCNP LOS standard for potable water service is 97.54 gallons per capita per day (GPCD).
Consumption is assumed to be approximately 7,316 GPCD by residential uses; however, LOS
standards do not take into consideration the consumption of non-residential uses.
Sanitary Sewer Transmission
The MCNP LOS standard for Sanitary Sewer is 122 GPCD. The MCNP does not require testing
of this County service.
Solid Waste Collection
The City's LOS standard for Solid Waste is to maintain a capacity sufficient to accommodate
waste flows for a minimum of five years. Solid Waste capacity shall be in place to serve new
development and redevelopment no later than the issuance of a certificate of occupancy or its
functional equivalent. The Franchise Agreement that the City maintains provides flexibility to
address fluctuations in solid waste production.
Transportation
Based on the existing and proposed FLR and density for the CPA application, the maximum
potential impact on trip generation was calculated. The proposed FLR and density for the CPA
application may result in approximately 23 additional PM peak -hour trips. Based on this
preliminary analysis, additional information is needed to determine the full impact of these
applications. During redevelopment, a traffic study may be required. The study should also
include potential traffic mitigation measures if significant impacts on levels of service are
identified.
Storm Surge & Coastal High Hazard Area
The MCNP requires all future land use changes to residential categories within Miami -Dade
County's Storm Surge Planning Zones A through E meet one of three criteria:
PZ-25-20077: 770 NW 41 AV -Comprehensive Plan Application — Page 13 of 19
3/26/2026
a) A no greater than 16-hour level of service for out of county hurricane evacuation is
maintained for a category 5 storm;
b) A no greater than 12-hour evacuation time to shelter is maintained for a category 5
storm and shelter space is expected to accommodate the residents of the development
contemplated by the proposed comprehensive plan amendment; or
Appropriate mitigation is provided that shall satisfy subparagraphs a) and b) above. Appropriate
mitigation shall include, without limitation, payment of money, contribution of land, and
construction of hurricane shelters and transportation facilities. Required mitigation shall not
exceed the amount required for the development to accommodate impacts reasonably
attributable to the development. The City and applicant for the plan amendment shall enter into
a binding agreement to memorialize this mitigation plan.

According to Miami -Dade County's Department of Emergency Management analysis dated
March 13, 2026, an additional 75 residents could be added within Storm Surge Planning Zone
C. The estimated evacuees for Storm Surge Planning Zone (SSPZ) C are 5%, resulting in only
four (4) extra residents who would seek shelter in Miami -Dade County Evacuation Centers. This
would have minimal to no impact on overall shelter capacity. Miami -Dade County Emergency
Management did not assess evacuation time.
The Subject Property is not in the Coastal High Hazard Area but is in Miami -Dade County
(MDCEM) Storm Surge Planning Zone C. Miami -Dade County's Department of Emergency
Management analyzed the proposed increase in density and population and found that the
change would not exceed a 16-hour level of service for out -of -county evacuation. MDCEM
found that the proposed change would not exceed a 12-hour evacuation time to a shelter and
that adequate shelter capacity exists to serve the increased population. The proposal meets
LOS requirements.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN ANALYSIS
The following is an analysis of the application relative to the Goals, Objectives, and Policies of
the MCNP.
Criteria 1
Policy LU-1.6.4: "Any proposal to amend the City's Zoning Atlas that has been
deemed to require an amendment to the Future Land Use Map by the Planning
Department shall require a LOS review and a finding from the Planning
Department that the proposed amendment shall not result in a LOS that falls
below the adopted minimum standards described in Policy CI-1.2.3, and shall
not be in conflict with any element of the MCNP. Based on its evaluation, and
on other relevant planning considerations, the Planning Department shall
forward a recommended action on said amendment to the Planning, Zoning
and Appeals Board, which shall then forward its recommendation to the City
Commission."
Analysis 1
Schools: On March 19, 2026, Miami -Dade County Public Schools reported that
it had reviewed the proposed land -use and zoning changes and determined
that the school system had sufficient capacity to serve the application.
Complies.
Recreation and Open Space: Currently, the request would not pass Parks
LOS. At present, there is no mitigation mechanism in place. Does Not
Comply.
Potable Water: The MCNP potable water LOS standard is 97.54 gallons per
capita per day, which represents typical residential water use. Higher numbers
shown in planning documents, such as 7,316 gallons per day, reflect total
residential demand for an area rather than per -person use. LOS standards
focus only on residential consumption and do not include non-residential water
use, which varies widely and is calculated separately. Complies.
PZ-25-20077: 770 NW 41 AV -Comprehensive Plan Application — Page 15 of 19
3/26/2026
Sanitary Sewer Transmission: The MCNP LOS standard for Sanitary Sewer is
122 GPCD. The MCNP does not require testing of this County service. N/A
Solid Waste Collection: The City's Solid Waste LOS standard requires
maintaining enough disposal capacity to handle projected waste flows for at
least five years. Capacity must be available for any new development by the
time a certificate of occupancy is issued, with the City's Franchise Agreement
providing flexibility to manage fluctuations in waste production. Complies
Transportation: The proposed FLR and density associated with the CPA
application are expected to generate up to 23 additional PM peak -hour trips,
based on preliminary trip -generation analysis. Due to insufficient information to
fully assess transportation impacts, a Traffic Impact Study will likely be
required at redevelopment, including identification of any necessary mitigation
measures. Complies
Storm Surge & Coastal High Hazard Area: According to the Miami -Dade
County Department of Emergency Management's analysis dated March 13,
2026, adding 75 residents to SSPZ C would generate roughly 4 additional
evacuees (based on a 5% evacuation rate). This slight increase would have
minimal to no impact on Miami County's overall shelter capacity. Complies
Finding 1
Consistent, except for Recreation and Open Space
Criteria 2
Goal CI-1: "Adhere to sound fiscal management policies that ensure the timely
provision of public capital facilities required to maintain existing public
infrastructure, that meet the need for public facilities resulting from future
development and redevelopment, and that enable the provision of public
capital facilities that enhance the quality of life within the city."
Analysis 2
Based on the Applicant's Letter of Intent (LOI), the existing Fire Station was
constructed circa 1963 and has reached the end of its life cycle after 63 years
(1963-present) of continuous use.
According to the National Fire Protection Association's (NFPA) publication
titled "Renovation Needs of the US Fire Service, it addresses Fire Stations
over 40 years old that are characterized by a common set of problems:
"...older fire stations do not have the modern facilities that are most beneficial
for fire stations, such as decontamination areas with laundry facilities and gear
storage areas that are separate and apart from living areas, exhaust capture
systems, and private or separate facilities for male and female firefighters. Old
fire stations are also more likely to have problems that cannot be addressed
through repair and maintenance alone." 1
PZ-25-20077: 770 NW 41 AV -Comprehensive Plan Application — Page 16 of 19
3/26/2026
Furthermore, there are only two garage bays, which barely provide clearance
for the current fire truck, ambulance, or even a ladder truck. With today's
larger, modern fire -rescue vehicles, the current garbage bays are outdated and
need to be enlarged, which is another reason for this capital facility
expenditure at this Fire Station.
For development and redevelopment purposes, the modernization and
expansion of this Fire Station are necessary to address urgent safety, health,
and operational deficiencies that may affect the core mission of a fire station:
protecting life, property, and the environment from fires, medical emergencies,
and hazardous incidents. By amending the FLU designation for the Subject
Property to "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, & Utilities," the
City could complete this modernization and expansion.

Finding 2
_research/fire-statistical-reports/renovation-needs-of-the-us-fi
Consistent
Criteria 3
Policy LU-1.1.1: "Development orders authorizing new development or
redevelopment that result in an increase in the density or intensity of land use
shall be contingent upon the availability of public facilities that meet or exceed
the minimum LOS standards adopted in the CIE, specifically sanitary sewer,
solid waste, stormwater, potable water, parks and recreation, and
transportation facilities. The public services and facilities provided to meet
concurrency requirements shall be consistent with the Capital Improvements
Element, or guaranteed in an enforceable agreement."
Analysis 3
Based on the NFPA's 1710 standards, it establishes key benchmarks (akin to
"LOS standards") for emergency response times2:
• Turnout Time: 80 seconds for firefighters to don gear and begin
driving, and 60 seconds for Emergency Medical Services calls.
• First -due engine: 4 minutes for the arrival of the first fire apparatus
responsible for initiating fire suppression, search and rescue, and
incident command at an emergency scene (the "First -due engine of 4
minutes").
• Initial full alarm - Low/medium hazard: 8 minutes or less for full
deployment at a fire
As Assistant Fire Chief Plasencia mentioned earlier in this staff analysis report,
the redevelopment and expansion of the Fire Station address is to close
existing service gaps, especially in areas with slower aerial response times.
This is evident, as shown in Figure 5, where most of the response time zones
around the Fire Station range from 6 to 8 minutes, which exceeds the LOS
PZ-25-20077: 770 NW 41 AV -Comprehensive Plan Application — Page 17 of 19
3/26/2026
Standard for the first -due engine of 4 minutes. This clearly shows the urgent
need for a newly designed and equipped Fire Station that can meet or surpass
the current LOS standards.
Note: NFPA 1710 is an industry -standard (not a state law) setting
requirements for career fire departments, including arrival times.

Finding 3
Consistent
CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATION
To address the inconsistency in residential density between the proposed Rezoning application
and MCNP's current FLUM designations, a CPA application was necessary. This process
involved reviewing compliance with the following MCNP Goals and Polices: Policy LU-1.6.4,
Goal CI-1, and Policy LU-1.1.1. It also included the MCNP's interpretation of the proposed FLU
designation: Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, & Utilities.
This old and outdated fire station poses serious community risks, including slower emergency
response times and reduced property protection due to its insufficient capacity to support
modern, larger fire equipment, such as a ladder truck. In many cases, replacing these aging
stations is more cost-effective than retrofitting them to meet current safety and operational
standards. All of these factors support the MCNP's Capital Element, Goal CI-1, by emphasizing
that strong fiscal policies ensuring the timely delivery of critical public facilities, such as this
redeveloped Fire Station, are essential to improving community safety, enabling faster
emergency responses, and preparing for the demands of a growing area with an increasing
number of vertically oriented, multistory buildings and vulnerable populations.
Based on the facts and findings in this staff analysis report, the CPA application complies with
the MCNP's Goals, Objectives, and Policies. This request includes converting 0.183 acres from
"Single -Family Residential" to "Major Institutional, Public Facilities, Transportation, &
Utilities" for the Subject Property. Therefore, the Planning Department recommends approval.

Good afternoon Kathryn,
After reviewing the attached City of Miami project at 770 NW 41 Avenue, Miami, FL 33126, which is in
Storm Surge Planning Zone (SSPZ) C ... our findings with regards to SSPZ and evacuations are as
follows:
Existing population in SSPZ C = 338,493
Additional residents of the construction project = + 75 (total for 27 dwelling units)
Total NEW population for SSPZ C = 338,568
Impact of the construction project
Estimated 5% of the population evacuate in SSPZ C
Increase in population for SSPZ C = 75 residents
5% estimated evacuees = 4 residents
Conclusion: If 75 residents are added within Storm Surge Planning Zone C and the estimated evacuees
for SSPZ C is 5%, the impact is only 4 additional residents that would be seeking shelter in our Miami -
Dade County Evacuation Centers, whereby there would be minimal to no impact on our overall shelter
capacity.
Calculations:
• 5% of the current population of 338,493 = 16,924
• 5% of increased population of 338,568 = 16,928
• Difference between existing and new population = 75 people
Please advise if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,
Miky

Importance: High
Hi Miky,
Is Sharon still out? If so could you please assist with this new application? Please see the information
attached. This is a very small scale application and we are only proposing to change one property's
Future Land Use designation. Is it possible for you or Sharon to get this back to us next week? Apologies
for the tight timeline. Please let us know if this isn't feasible or if you have any additional questions.
Thanks,
Kathryn

Good afternoon Kathryn,

Sharon is still the point -of -contact but, she is on leave until next month (March) so, I will assist until
Sharon's return.
In reviewing the attached Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan Excel spreadsheets for the Future
Land Use project at 888 Macarthur Causeway, Miami, FL 33132, which is in Storm Surge Planning
Zone (SSPZ) B ... our findings with regards to SSPZ and evacuations are as follows:
Existing population in SSPZ B = 448,417
Additional residents of the construction project = 1,432
Total NEW population for SSPZ B = 449,849
Impact of the construction project
Estimated 8% of population evacuate in SSPZ B
Increase in population for SSPZ B =
8% estimated evacuees =
1,432
114 residents
Conclusion: If an estimated amount of 114 additional evacuees within Storm Surge Planning Zone B
were to seeking shelter in our Miami -Dade County Evacuation Centers, this would have minimal to no
impact on our overall shelter capacity.
Calculations:
• 8% of the current population of 448,417 = 35,873
• 8% of increased population of 449,849 = 35,987
• Difference between existing and new population = 114 people
Please advise if I can be of further assistance.
Best regards,
Miky

Hi Sharon,

Back in November, Mirtha informed us you were our contact for Storm Surge Planning Zone
Concurrency. I'm reaching out because we have an application to amend the Future Land Use Map
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. I have attached an Excel spreadsheet that provides that
changes in density by both dwelling units and population for the application. This is one application that
has 4 different Future Land Use designation changes for a total area of 5.44 acres.
Is it possible to get the analysis back by February 17th? Please let me know if this is feasible. Additionally,
if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thank you,
Kathryn

Based on the existing and proposed FLR and density for Comprehensive Plan Amendment applications
PZ-25-20077, the maximum potential impact on trip generation was calculated. The proposed FLR and
density for File ID PZ-25-20077 have the potential to result in an increase of approximately 23 PM peak -
hour trips. Based on this preliminary analysis, additional information is needed to determine the full impact
of these applications. During redevelopment, a traffic study may be required. The study should also include
potential traffic mitigation measures if significant impacts on levels of service are identified.
