CHANGE OF ZONING
File ID: 2639
APPLICANT: Daniel J. Alfonso, City Manager, on behalf of the City of Miami
3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, FL 33133
PROJECT ADDRESS: 104 Northwest 1 Avenue, Miami, FL 33130
COMMISSION DISTRICT: District 2 [Commissioner Ken Russell]
FOLIO#: 01-011-0060-1080
NET OFFICE: DowntownlBrickell
COUNTY DESIGNATION: Rapid Transit Zone (RTZ) Overlay
GENERAL INFORMATION
REQUEST: Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8.2.b.1, of Ordinance 13114, as amended, the "Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Miami" to repeal Ordinance 13474, adopted on July 24, 2014; to revert the
existing zoning back to "Urban Core Transect Zone (T6-80-0)" with "Central Business District" from "Civic
Space Transect Zone" (CS) with "Central Business District" for the property located at 104 NW 1 Avenue
(7,677 sq. ft.) Miami, FI. 33130 (Folio 01-011-0060-1080).
A change to the Future Land Use Map corresponding to this proposed change to the Miami 21 Zoning
Atlas is required as a companion item (File ID No. 2638). The companion application seeks to repeal
Ordinance 13473 and revert the Future Land Use designation back to "Central Business District" within
the Urban Central Business District.
BACKGROUND
The request is to revert the zoning of City -owned park land, of approximately 7,677 square feet to revert
from CS (Civic Space) zoning back to T6-80-0 (Urban Core Zone -Open). The site is also located within
the County's Rapid Transit Zone (RTZ) overlay. Under the Rapid Transit Zone designation, Miami Dade
County has the authority to review and approve development that works toward providing premium transit
infrastructure to the area's constituents.
In this case, the subject property is within the Downtown Intermodal District Corridor Subzone, which
covers the area to be developed for the Miami Central Station. The Miami Central Station will introduce
two new premium transit facilities to Downtown Miami: the Brightline train service to Orlando and the Tri -
Rail Coastal Link.
Additionally, the property is part of a "Real Estate Purchase and Exchange Agreement" between the
applicant (City of Miami) and third parties (DT Miami A LLC and DT Miami B LLC) who obtained the
City of Miami
Planning and Zoning Department
approval of the Plat and Street Committee for the Re -plat of adjoining properties (Tentative Plat #1876)
and the closure of a portion of NW 1 Avenue (PZAB R-16-00666). Specifically, this land exchange will
be for the subject parcel ceded to the applicant and the City receiving property owned by the applicant in
another location within the City. The City's conveyance of this property as part of a land exchange assists
in providing assemblage of land to integrate the adjoining Miami Central Station.

ANALYSIS
As depicted below, the park (outlined in green) is small and surrounded by heavily trafficked downtown
streets, creating an "island" effect. Within the 10 minute walk service area of this block, there are many
more comfortable parks for downtown residents, including Bayfront Park, Museum Park, Paul Walker
Mini Park, and the park adjacent to the Steven P. Clark Government Center.
In addition, there are a number of high-quality civic spaces, such as the plaza adjacent to the Wilkie D.
Ferguson Jr. Federal Courthouse. Furthermore, the City is designating approximately 16,000 square feet
of land to Public Parks and Recreation adjacent to Eaton Park in the City's Upper Eastside, putting the
City ahead in terms of total publically designated park space.

CONCLUSION
The proposed reversion of the zoning from CS (Civic Space/Parks) back to T6-80-0 (Urban Core -Open)
provides the proper transitions and protections to the adjacent established T6-80-0 (Urban Core -Open)
Transect Zone. Specifically, MCNP Policy LU -1.3.15 states that the City will continue to encourage a
development pattern that enhances existing neighborhoods by developing a balanced mix of uses
including areas for employment, shopping, housing, and recreation in close proximity to each other.
Staff finds the reversion of zoning t for this site to be consistent with the goals of the Miami 21 Code as it
will be compatible with the surrounding zoning district as well as for the revitalization and enhancement
of the areas surrounded by Flagler Grand Central Station Transit facilities. This reversion of zoning to
T6-80-0 will result in a positive impact for the City of Miami in general.
RECOMMENDATION
Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 of Ordinance 13114, as amended on the aforementioned findings,
Department of Planning and Zoning recommends to repeal Ordinance 13474, adopted on July 24, 2014,
and revert the site located at 104 NW 1 Avenue to T6-80-0 "Urban Core Transect Zone" from its current
designation of CS (Civic Space/Parks).
