Wenski, Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Miami, and Corpus Christi Church) owns all the properties abutting the street to the north, east and west. Previously, the applicant applied for and received approval with conditions from the City of Miami, Plat and Street Committee for the Re -Plat and Road Closure (Tentative Plat #1862-A) of Corpus Christi. This request is to close and vacate a public road (NW 7 Court), located along the north side of NW 32 Street, with approximately 3,390 square feet of land. The existing road is approximately 25 feet in width by 130 feet in length and fronts the north side of NW 32 Street. There are no overhead utilities above the road. Any existing underground utilities located within the road will be relocated or easements must be created. The intent of the request is to annex the closed section of the road into the approved Tract A to create a unified site for future development. Aerial View of the proposed Road Closure Proposed Road Closure (outlined in red). Cl Current zoning. Proposed Road Closure (Outlined in red). The proposed closure of a portion of NW 7 Court may allow an increase of pedestrian activity for the proposed uses as part of the redevelopment of Tract A. This road closure is considered a key element in unifying the Tract, by providing a buildable site for the future expansion of the Church's activities. Pile Id # 1864 2 1 P a g e City of Miami Planning and Zoning Department ANALYSIS: The following is an evaluation of the request pursuant to Section 55-15(c) of the City Code of Ordinances which states that in addition to technical requirements for vacation and closures, that the Plat and Street Committee review four (4) public interest findings related to vacation and closures. The Plat and Street Committee Findings for the street closure application are attached as Exhibit A, and summarized below. Public Interest Finding: Is it in the public interest, or would the general public benefit from the vacation of the rights -of -ways or easements? Plat and Street Committee Response: The proposed closure of the public right-of-way may create a unified development site compatible with the current Transect Zone development patterns. The approved Tract A is currently utilized by a Church and will continue to serve its congregation. The intent of the proposal is to incorporate the existing Church activities into the open space and play area for the use of the congregation and the School, which is conducive to pedestrian activity, circulation, and availability to the general public. 2. Public Interest Finding: Is the general public no longer using the rights-of-way or easement, including public service vehicles such as trash and garbage truck, police, fire or other emergency vehicles? Plat and Street Committee Response: The existing right-of-way proposed to be closed and vacated is completely within the boundaries of the Tentative Plat site and do not extend or interconnect beyond the limits of the Tentative Plat. The roadways are not utilized by emergency or service vehicles beyond the limits of the site and the site itself requires limited service. Solid waste service is provided by private commercial carriers. 3. Public Interest Finding: Would there be no adverse effect on the ability to provide police, fire or emergency services? Plat and Street Committee Response: There would be no adverse effect on the ability to provide fire, police or emergency services. The proposed new development will be required to provide adequate emergency access. There is no through access required beyond the limits of the site. 4. Public Interest Finding: Would the vacation and closure of the rights-of-way or easements have a beneficial effect on pedestrian and vehicular circulation in the area? Plat and Street Committee Response: The road proposed to be closed and vacated is not part of the general neighborhood vehicular or pedestrian circulation system. The future development may provide enhanced pedestrian and vehicular circulation to serve the property. On April 07, 2015, The Plat and Street Committee members voted to recommend approval, 6 in favor and 0 in denial, of this road closure request subject to conditions. File Id #'1864 31Page City of Miami Planning and Zoning Department CONCLUSION: The proposed street closure is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan (MCNP).

The closure of the public right-of-way (located along the north side of NW 32 Street, and along the west side of NW 7 Avenue), as presented, is important for the revitalization and enhancement of the areas surrounded.
