Re: Transmittal of proposed amendment to the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan related to the
Future Land use Map for property located in the Liberty Square development; DEO No. 19-1 ESR
Dear Ms. Trone:
The Miami -Dade County Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources (Department) has reviewed the
proposed amendment to the Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan. Our review is conducted to identify
points of consistency or inconsistency with the goals, objectives, policies and relevant provisions of the
Miami -Dade County Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP), and whether the proposed
amendments impact County public facilities and services.
Acting upon a Comprehensive Plan application submitted to the City of Miami on August 2, 2018 by the
Miami -Dade County Public Housing and Community Development Department, the City proposes to amend
the Future Land Use Map designation of approximately 22.07 acres of land from "Medium Density Multifamily
Residential" to "Restricted Commercial." The maximum density would increase from 65 Dwelling Units per
Acre (DU/Ac) to 150 DU/Ac. The subject area, generally located at 1415 NW 63 Street and 1200 NW 62 Lane
in Liberty Square, includes a four -block area bounded by NW 65 Street, NW 62 Street, NW 12 Avenue, NW
13 Avenue and NW 15 Avenue. There are also concurrent requests by the County, not included in the subject
amendment, to amend the Miami 21 Zoning Atlas designation from "74-R" (General Urban Transect -
Restricted) to 75-0" (Urban Center Transect -Open), and a comprehensive plan amendment for a one block
area within Liberty Square to "Medium Density Multifamily Residential" with a T5-0 zoning district.
Based on the information provided and the County CDMP's goals, objectives and policies, the proposed
amendment is consistent with the CDMP. However, the Division of Environmental Resources Management
has provided courtesy comments for your review (see attached Memorandum). If you or any member of your
staff have any questions, please contact me or Garett Rowe, Chief, Metropolitan Planning Section, at 305-
375-2835.

Subject: Proposed Amendment to City of Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan Related to the
Future Land Use Map for Liberty Square — 1415 NW 63rd Street & 1200 NW 62nd Lane
City of Miami Case Identification No. 5228
The Division of Environmental Resources Management (DERM) offers the following comments for the
subject City of Miami proposed land Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan Amendment for Liberty Square,
parcels identified by property folio numbers 01-3114-009-0010 & 01-3114-002-0010. The request is to
change the designation of a portion of the property at 1415 NW 63rd Street and 1200 NW 62nd Lane from
"Medium Density Multifamily Residential" to "Restricted Commercial'.
The proposed change would yield an increase of the allowed residential units to a total of 3,310 units
Public Water Supply
The proposed amendment area is located within the Miami -Dade County Water and Sewer Department
(MDWASD) franchised water service area. Any proposed land use is required to connect to public water
pursuant to Chapter 24 of the Code.
The source of water for the City is the Hialeah Preston Water Treatment Plant, which is owned and
operated by the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department (MDWASD). At this time the plant has
sufficient capacity to provide current water demand. The plant is presently producing water that meets
Federal, State, and County drinking water standards.
Sanitary Sewer System
The proposed amendment area is located within MDWASD franchised sewer service area. Any proposed
land use is required to connect to the public sewer system pursuant to Chapter 24 of the Code.
The sewer flow collected in the area is routed to sanitary pump stations 30-0072, 30-0054, 30-0001 and
then to the District Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The above listed pump stations and the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant are currently
working within the mandated criteria set forth in the Consent Decree Case: N0. 1:12-cv-24400-FAM,
effective Dec 6, 2013. At this time the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant has sufficient capacity
to treat current discharge.
The table below shows the sanitary sewer pump stations collecting sanitary sewer flow from the proposed
amendment area. The Nominal Average Pump Operating Time (NAPOT) information for the pump
2019 Amendment to City of Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan Related to the Future Land Use Map for Liberty Square
Page 2
stations shown is based on current conditions of the sanitary pump stations. Please note at the time of
final development orders, sewer capacity certification will be required.
'OH= OK — High Annual Monthly Average Limited
Since the sanitary sewer system has limited sewer collection, transmission, and treatment capacity to
handle the additional flows from future development, final development orders for the area will be subject
to adequate capacity in the system at the point in time when proposed projects will be contributing sewage
to the system. Final determination of capacity will be issued in conjunction with either the Department's
review of Certificate of Use and/or Plan Review.
Stormwater Management
Miami -Dade County has been delegated the authority to issue Surface Water Management General
Permits (SWMGP) on behalf of the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) fordevelopments
that propose more than 2 acres of an impervious surface. Conceptual SWMGP #13-06515-P was
approved and a modification to the SWMGP for the Liberty Square Redevelopment - Phase One (parcel
with folio 01-3114-009-0010) was issued. Any new development or additional phases will require a
modification to the permit. Storm water drainage systems are required to provide flood protection and
storm water quality treatment.
In accordance with DERM records, a Source Removal and Disposal report for contaminated soil was
issued for Phase One only. Any commencement of a Phase 2 must coordinate with the Environmental
Monitoring & Restoration Division of DERM for portions of the subject properties located in a possibly
contaminated area where a DERM Class VI may be required for any installation of new drainage systems
in contaminated sites.
Natural Resources
The subject property site lies within the boundaries of the City of Miami and contains tree resources,
including specimen trees (trees with a trunk diameter at breast height of 18 inches or greater). Since the
City of Miami enforces its own tree protection and preservation code, any proposed impacts to tree
resources will be regulated by the City of Miami and must comply with CON -8D of the County's
Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP) and Section 24-49.2(11) of the Code, which requires
that specimen trees be preserved whenever reasonably possible. Site development shall be designed to
meet the specimen tree preservation requirements of the Code as well as CON -8A of the CDMP.
In accordance with Section 24-49.9 of the Code and CON -81 of the CDMP, all plants prohibited by Miami -
Dade County shall be removed from all portions of the property prior to development or redevelopment
and developed parcels shall be maintained to prevent the growth or accumulation of prohibited species.
Water Management
Any amendment into the Land Use Element that allows the increase in density, or the reduction of
permeable areas, may impact the stormwater management level of service and should be considered for
2019 Amendment to City of Miami Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan Related to the Future Land Use Map for Liberty Square
Page 3
evaluation due to possible impacts. Any proposed drainage/water management system shall comply with
the regulations from all the permitting agencies having jurisdiction.
A signed and sealed analysis of stormwater management needs and flooding issues shall be provided
for review and approval, to demonstrate that there will be no adverse offsite impacts, how the integrity of
the regional canal systems will be impacted and maintained, and the identification of the stormwater
management infrastructure needed for the proposed land use.
If you have any questions concerning the comments, or wish to discuss this matter further, please contact
Christine Velazquez at (305) 372-6764.

Dear Ms. Trone:
The South Florida Water Management District (District) has completed its review of the

needs and to protect the region's water resources. Please forward a copy of the adopted
