The subject zoning change consists of a site (composed of three parcels) of approximately 1-77 acres
(77:101 square feet) within the Little Havana NET area. The three parcels abut NW South River Drive
and the Miami River. Each parcel contains an existing structure constructed in 1938, 1975; and 1954 that
are one-story, one-story and two-story respectively.
The immediate context of the neighborhood to the west, south, and east of the subject site is indicative
of the current zoning designations of T -L and T3 -R `:Sub -Urban Transect Zone' with area primarily
comprising single family residences. The properties immediately to the north across the Miami River are
the River Landing Special Area flan zoned lots,
MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN
The requested change of zoning of T4 -R is inconsistent with the current Miami Comprehensive
Neighborhood Plan (MNP) designation of "Single Family Residential for the properties. Therefore a
companion application to amend the future land use was submitted to change to `:Low Density Multifamily
Residential-. which is being processed under File ID 2697.

ANALYSIS:
Following the above referenced :'Background", this proposal for rezoning is taping in consideration criteria
set forth in Article 7, Section 7.1.2.8 (a)(5) & (')(2) of Miami 21
Criteria 1 Sec. 7,1,2,8 (f){2} For rezoning. 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 of The subject site is within an existing T3-11_ zone with FLUfM designation of Single
Criteria 1 Family Residential with a maximum density of g D -U. per acre_ The proposed
rezoning to T4_R is not compatible within the existing neighborhood context of
intensity and density. The maximum allowed height within the T3 Transect Zane
5 -feet. The T4 -R allows a maximum height 40 -feet. Furthermore, the increase
in density from 9 D. U. per acre to 36 D. U. per acre would allow for incompatible
intensity and uses formulate within a single family oriented environment.
Finding t The request to rezone from T3 -L to T -4R is transitional; however, the potential
increase in density and intensity does not fit the neighborhood context. In this
case, one side of the site abuts a right-of-way and the T3 -R (single family) to
the east.
The area consists of single family dwellings with zoning of T -R and T3 -L_ The
maximum allowed height within the T3 Transect Zone is two -stories and 25 -
feet to the cave and maximum Lot coverage of 50 -percent on the first floor
and 30 -percent for the second floor.
The proposed T4 -R allows a maximum height of three -stories and 40 -feet to
the eave with a maximum Lot coverage of 60 -percent. The proposed new
zoning will create a landmass without similar zoning in the neighborhood
context.
The request to rezone to T4 -R is inconsistent with the existing context of
the neighborhood and the goals and objectives of Miami 21 Code.

Criteria Z For rezoning, A change may be made in a manner which maintains the goals
of the Miami 21 Code to preserve Neighborhoods and to provide proper
transitions in intensity and scale -
Additional The requested rezone from T3 -L to T4 -R allows uses such as Bed and
Analysis of Breakfast by Warrant Permit, which is approved administrativeky, and Childcare
Criteria 2 .and Marina, by Exception. The Exception process requires a public hearing
before the Planning, Zoning and Appeals Board (P AB) and is appealable to
City Commission -
As proposed, rezoning from T3 -L to T4 -R, although transitional, it is not
compatible with the immediate neighborhood context.
Finding 2 The request will create an intrusion of Uses that would not be consistent with
the goals and objectives of the Miami 21 Code.
The requested rezoning is not compatible, in this case, with the intent of
Miami 21 Zoning Code.
The proposed rezone does not provide a benefit to neighborhood as it creates zoning unlike the existing
Transect Zones within the surroundings properties in the area.

CONCLUSION
The applicant seeks to rezone the waterfront site (1515, 1529, and 1543 NW South Fiver Dr-) from T3-1-
to
3-Lto T4 -R. Article 3, Section 3. 11, of t h a Miami 21 Code contains standards for all waterfront properties
except for the T3, T4 -R, D1: D2, and D3 Transect Zones (unless a new Commercial retail, Office, or
Restaurant Use is developed). The T4 -R Transect Zone aloes not allow Commercial retail, Office, or
Restaurant uses, Therefore, the request to rezone to T4 -R Transect does not require a waterfront
walkway as per Article 3, Section 3.11-b.1 of the Miami 21 Code.
The applicant has voluntarily proffered a restrictive covenant to provide a waterfront walkway with public
access from 6 a.m- until 10 p.m. for any new development on the site. The waterfront walkway will be
designed in accordance to the Miami 21 Code Waterfront Standards of Article 3, Section 3.11 and
Appendix B-
The voluntarily proffered waterfront walkway would benefit the public by providing access to the
waterfront. However, it is at the cost of a proposed change of zoning from T3-1- "Sub -Urban -Limited"
to T4 -R "General Urban -- Restricted' which is not compatible for the predominately T (single family)
developed immediate neighborhood- As proposed, the request does not provide gradual transitions to
the established low density single family residential character of the neighborhood. Furthermore, the
proposal introduces a T4 -R site in a T3- zoned area that has no other T4 zoned properties in the vicinity-
RECOMMENDATION:
Pursuant to Article 7, Section 7,1,2.8 of Ordinance 13114: as amended on the aforementioned findings,
the Department of Planning recommends Denial of the rezoning of 1515, 1529, and 1543 NVV South
River Drive from T3 -L to T4 -R as presented with restricted covenant,
