A. GENERAL INFORMATION:
FILE ID: 15-00973zc
ZIP: 33127
HEARING DATE: 11/02/16
"21J,MWAII_1:3
REQUEST: Pursuant to Article 5 and Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 of Ordinance 13114, as amended,
the applicant is requesting a change of zoning for a group of parcels zoned T3-0 "Suburban
Transect Zone" to T4-0 "General Center Transect Zone".

Miami Avenue (Complete legal description is on file with the Hearing Boards Section).
B. BACKGROUND:
The subject site is comprised of seven individually plated lots. Lots 9, 10 and 11 contains a light
industrial facility constructed in 1925, which currently remains in use. Lots 12, 13 and 14 consist of
three (3) multi -family, single -story residential craftsman and mission style bungalows constructed
between 1925 and 1938. Lot 28 consist of an existing non -conforming parking lot. Lots 9, 10,11,12,

C. ZONING HISTORY
On September 16, 2015 pursuant to Resolution No. PZAB-R-15.060 the Planning Zoning and
Appeals Board denied the Applicant's request for a change of zoning from T3-0 (Suburban Transect
Zone — Open) to T4-0 (General Center Transect Zone — Open).
On November 19, 2015 the City of Miami City Commission deferred the Applicant's request for a
change of zoning from T3-0 (Suburban Transect Zone — Open) to T4-0 (General Center Transect
Zone — Open).
On March 24, 2016 the City of Miami City Commission indefinitely deferred the Applicant's request
for a change of zoning from T3-0 (Suburban Transect Zone — Open) to T4-0 (General Center
Transect Zone — Open).
On September 22, 2016 the City of Miami City Commission recommended that the Applicant's
request for a change of zoning from T3-0 "Suburban Transect Zone — Open to T4-0 General Center
Transect Zone — Open" be remanded to the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board for consideration
since the Applicants indicated that they had acquired an additional 5,000 sq. ft. lot directly to the
south of lots 10 and 9.
On September 29, 2016 the Applicant modified the existing application to incorporate an additional
abutting lot of 5,000 sq. ft. directly to the south of lots 10 and 9 known as lot 28.
D. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN:
The requested zoning designation of T4-0 is inconsistent with the current Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan (MCNP) designation of Duplex Residential. As such, the applicants have
submitted an application to amend the land use designation from "Duplex Residential" to "Low
Density Restricted Commercial", as a companion item under File No. 15-009731u.

The following is a review of the request pursuant to a rezoning criteria at Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 (a)(3)
& (f)(2) of Miami 21. The Background section of this report is hereby incorporated into the analysis and
its corresponding criteria by reference:
Criteria: For rezonings: A change may be made only to the next intensity Transect Zone or by a
Special Area Plan, and in a manner which maintains the goals of the Miami 21 Code to
preserve Neighborhoods and to provide transitions in intensity and building heights.
Analysis: Lots 9,10 and 11 are legally platted parcels located within the Wyndwood Park Subdivision.
Said lots are joined to form one parcel under the following address (30 NW 34 Street). The
principle structure on site houses a legal non -conforming light industrial equipment and wood
mill / cabinet manufacturing business. The principle structure was constructed in 1925, and
houses an existing light industrial facility that has operated on the site since that time. Lot
28 is a legally platted parcel consisting of an existing non -conforming parking lot used to
serve the adjacent commercial establishment. Staff finds the proposed zoning request is
consistent with the goals of the Miami 21 Code as the request is compatible with the
surrounding zoning districts and provides a transition in height and intensity. Staff notes that
lots 9, 10, 11 and 28 directly abut a T5-0 Transect Zone to the north, east and south. See
Image 1 on page 4.
Rezoning lots 9, 10, 11 and 28 would provide a transition in height and intensity between
the T5-0 Transect Zone to the north and east. Furthermore rezoning said lots would bring
the current legal non -conforming business more into conformity with the proposed transect
zone of T4-0. As noted above the property has a commercial use operating on site since
1925.
Finding: Consistent with the intent of the Miami 21 Code

Analysis: Lots 12, 13 and 14 (48, 54 and 62 NW 34 Street) are legally platted parcels located
within Wyndwood Park Subdivision. Staff finds the proposed rezoning request is
inconsistent with the goals of the Miami 21 Code as the request is not compatible with the
surrounding zoning districts nor would it provide a transition in height and intensity. Staff
notes that rezoning lots 12, 13 and 14 from T3-0 to T4-0 would allow an increase in density,
height and intensity into the clearly established residential district to the west of North Miami
Avenue. Said rezoning would allow for further intrusion of commercial uses into the
predominantly single story neighborhood such as but not limited to General Commercial,
Office, Parking Facilities, Entertainment and Food Establishment uses. See chart entitled
"Building Function: Uses" below:
"Building Function: Uses" Excerpt of Article 4, Table 3 of Miami 21 Code" how the new
uses will affect the surrounding area with the proposed rezoning.

"Building Function: Uses" Excerpt of Article 4, Table 3 of Miami 21 Code" illustrate how the new uses will impact the surrounding area
with the proposed rezoning.

Page 5 of 7
Finding
The intrusion of commercial uses into the residential district, increase in density from 18
dwelling units to 36 dwelling units per acre, and the increase in height from 2 stories (25' to
eave max) to 3 stories (40' max height) may have an adverse negative impact in the Level
of Services (LOS) and character of the neighborhood. (See Image 2)
Furthermore, staff notes that rezoning Lots 12, 13, and 14 will allow for the encroachment
of higher intensity and height in the neighborhood. Staff has expressed concerns that the
rezoning of said parcels may put at risk the remaining residential structures within the
Wyndwood Park Subdivision.
Inconsistent with the intent of the Miami 21 Code

Lots 9, 10, 11 (30 NW 34 Street) and Lot 28 (23 NW 33 ST)
The Department of Planning and Zoning recommends approval of the applicant's request for a
change of zoning for Lots 9, 10, 11 and 28. Staff finds the proposed zoning request is consistent
with the goals of the Miami 21 Code as the request is compatible with the surrounding zoning districts
and provides an appropriate transition in height and intensity. Furthermore, the rezoning of said lots
will bring the existing legal non -conforming businesses and structures more into conformity with the
proposed Transect Zone.

Lots 12, 13 and 14 (48, 54 and 62 NW 34th Street)
The Department of Planning and Zoning recommends denial of the applicant's request for a change
of zoning for Lots 12,13 and 14. The proposed change of zoning is an intrusion of a higher density
and intensity into the transitional zoning. As such, the proposed request would be incompatible as
there is no T4-0 zoned properties adjacent to the property.
Staff finds the change of zoning request for Lots 12,13 and 14 is inconsistent with the goals of the
Miami 21 Code as the request is not compatible with the surrounding zoning districts nor provides
an appropriate zoning transition.
I. RECOMMENDATION:
Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 of Ordinance 13114, as amended on the aforementioned
findings, the Planning and Zoning Department recommends approval of the proposed rezoning as
presented for Lots 9,10,11 (30 NW 34 Street) and Lot 28 (23 NW 33 ST) and denial of lots 12,13
and 14 (48, 54 and 62 NW 34 Street).
