ANALYSIS FOR A COMPREHENSIVE
PLAN AMENDMENT
FILE ID: 16-00831lu
APPLICANT: Daniel J. Alfonso, City Manager on behalf of the City of Miami
PROJECT ADDRESS: 1197 SW 19 Avenue
NET OFFICE: Coral Way NET Area
A. GENERAL INFORMATION:
COMMISSION DISTRICT: District 4
HEARING DATE: 07/06/2016
REQUEST: Pursuant to Chapter 62, Section 62-8 (b) of the City of Miami Code of Ordinances,
the City of Miami is requesting a Comprehensive Plan Amendment to change a Future
Land Use Map designation from Single -Family Residential to Public Parks and Recreation
for a parcel located at approximately 1197 SW 19 Avenue.
The subject property (the Site) is located within the Shenandoah neighborhood and the Coral
Way NET area. The total area proposed for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment is
approximately .15 acres (See Exhibit A). A complete legal description of the site is on file at
the Hearing Boards Office.
B. BACKGROUND:
As established by the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan and the 2007 Miami Parks
and Public Spaces Master Plan, a basic goal is for every resident to live within a quarter mile
walk to a park. In recognizing the great need to expand access to parks for the City of Miami
residents, the Parks & Recreation, Planning & Zoning, and Real Estate & Asset Management
departments have coordinated to identify and purchase land to create more parks. Extensive
analysis of park access across the City has been conducted and neighborhoods that lack
parks have been identified and targeted for park land acquisition. See Section F for a map
demonstrating the mapping analysis conducted through the project, which illustrates the
walkshed (a geographic area within a certain distance of a point, in this case one-quarter mile)
for the new park.
The Site consists of one parcel in the Shenandoah neighborhood. The Site is a corner lot,
located on SW 19 Avenue and SW 12 Street. It is in the middle of a single family residential
neighborhood.

C. ZONING:
An application for a Change of Zoning is being submitted concurrently with this application.
Approval would allow for the development of a neighborhood park on the site.
D. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN — LAND USE INTERPRETATIONS
Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) established future land use categories
according to the 2020 Future Land Use Map and the "Interpretation of the Future Land Use
Map".
Single Family Residential: Areas designated as "Single Family Residential" allow single
family structures of one dwelling unit each to a maximum density of 9 dwelling units per acre,
subject to the detailed provisions of the applicable land development 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 facilities2 (6 clients or less, not including drug,
alcohol or correctional rehabilitation facilities also will 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 in suitable
locations 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).
Public Parks and Recreation: The primary intent of this land use classification is to conserve
open space and green spaces of a park while allowing access and uses which will not interfere
with the preservation of any significant environmental features which may exist within the park.
This land use designation allows only open space and park uses with recreational and cultural
uses where the total building footprints and impervious parking area surfaces in parks of one
(1) acre of more may cover no more than 25% of the park land area (See related Policy PR -
2.1.3.). Both passive and active recreational uses shall be permitted including but not limited
to nature trails, interpretive centers, picnic areas, playgrounds, canoe trails and launches,
small concession stands, restrooms, gyms, swimming pools, athletic fields, cultural facilities,
marine and marina facilities and other facilities supporting passive and active recreational and
cultural uses.
Lands under this designation with specific qualities that make them desirable for commercial
photography shall be allowed to be used in this manner conditionally, and only when it is
determined that conducting such commercial photography will not endanger significant
environmental features within the area. [Added 3/23/99 by Ordinance 11782.]

G. ANALYSIS:
The following is a review of the request pursuant to a rezoning criteria at Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8
(b)(20) of Miami 21. The Background section of this report is hereby incorporated into the
analysis and its corresponding criteria by reference:
Criteria 1
Policy PR -1.1.2: The City will focus on park land acquisition according to the
following four equal priorities that emerged from community preferences
during the 2007 Parks Master Plan process: land with water views and/or
water access; land for "walk -to" parks, including neighborhood parks, in
underserved areas of the City identified in Citywide and NET -area maps in the
2007 Parks Master Plan and any subsequent updates to these maps;
Analysis 1
As referenced in the "Background", the City of Miami has coordinated the
identification and purchase of parcels that expand the City's park system. The
development of a park on the Site creates a "walk -to" park for the surrounding
single-family neighborhood. Given the improvements in quality -of -life created
by access to parks, the amendment would address the goals of the MCNP.
Finding 1
Staff finds the proposal consistent with Policy PR -1.1.2
Criteria 2
Policy PR -1.1.4: The City of Miami's Level of Service for Parks, Recreation
and Open Space is to provide a municipally -owned park within a ten-minute
barrier -free walk to park entrances by 72% of the city's population as
measured by GIS pedestrian network analysis.
Analysis 2
The proposed amendment would allow for the development of a park in an
area that currently is unserved by the City's park system, as defined by the
MCNP and the Parks Master Plan. Development of a park on the site creates
a park asset for over 300 households that currently are unserved. (Refer to
Section F
Finding 2
Staff finds the proposal consistent with Policy PR -1.1.4
Criteria 3
Policy PR -1.1.5: The City will review and enact provisions and create a plan
to remedy deficiencies for residents who do not have access to a park within
a ten minute, barrier -free walk, including financing for acquisition to remedy
deficiencies.
Analysis 3
The proposed amendment would address a park Level -of -Service deficiency
in Shenandoah by creating a neighborhood, "walk -to" park.
Finding 3
Staff finds the proposal consistent with Policy PR -1.1.5
Criteria 4
2007 Miami Parks and Public Spaces Master Plan, Chapter 4, Section D
Acquiring Land for New Parks and Open Spaces in Underserved Areas:
As the City makes acquisitions to meet the interim goal of a park within a half -
mile of every residence, it should then continue its efforts, advancing towards
the goal of a park within one-quarter mile of every Miami home. There are a
variety of ways for the City to acquire new park land, including conversion of
public land, outright purchase...
Analysis 4
The purchase and development of a park on the site would work towards the
higher goal of a one-quarter mile walk to a park for every resident of the City.
Finding 4
Staff finds the proposal consistent with the 2007 Master Plan

H. CONCLUSION:
The Department of Planning and Zoning finds the request for a Comprehensive Plan Amendment
from Single -Family Residential to Public Parks and Recreation is consistent with the Miami
Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. Staff finds the request is consistent with the goals of the
2007 Miami Parks and Public Spaces Master Plan and works toward the goal of providing parks
to all the City's residents.
I. RECOMMENDATION:
Pursuant to Chapter 62, Section 62-8 (c) of the City of Miami Code of Ordinances, based on the
aforementioned findings, the Planning & Zoning Department recommends approval of the
proposed Comprehensive Plan amendment as presented.
