SUBJECT:
An Ordinance amending the Future Land Use Map of the South Miami Comprehensive Plan by

(Two Story) for an area identified as 6781 Sunset Drive (Fellowship Church)
Folio: 09- 4026- 000 -0130.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The subject application is a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map amendment that
was originally initiated at a workshop held by the City Commission on April 12, 2011. At
the workshop, it was decided that the new future land use map category entitled
"Religious (Two - Story)" be created so that religious uses would no longer belong as a
sub - category to Public /Institutional Uses. On November 1, 2011 the new comprehensive
plan category "Religious (Two - Story) was adopted by the City Commission on final
reading [Ordinance 35 -11 -2108] and transmitted to the State Department of Economic
Opportunity (formerly the Department -of Community Affairs). At a City Commission
meeting in March 2012, it was requested that the text amendments for religious
institutions be moved to the Planning Board, acting in its capacity as the Local Planning
Agency (LPA), for application to specific properties on the City's Future Land Use Map.
On June 19, 2012 following a public hearing, the Planning Board in its capacity as the
Local Planning Agency voted to recommend adoption of the new land use category by a
vote of 5 ayes; 1 nay.
CURRENT LAND USE MAP CATEGORY
The land use category on the City's Future Land Use Map that is currently in the adopted
Comprehensive Plan reads as follows:
Public an "eju-i- Rublie Institutional Uses (Four - Story)
The public and se-rnri- public institutional land use category is intended to provide for
up blic schools, municipal facilities, utilities, and churches, temples, synago ues and
similar uses. Areas designated public and sefai- public institutional should not be used for
other purposes without an amendment to this plan. Zoning regulations could permit
public and institutional semi- public uses on sites not so designated by this plan. Schools

FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY
Religious (Two - Story)
The "religious uses" land use category is intended to be died to development projects
and properties providing religious facilities and could also permit other ancillary uses
implemented by the category; with building heights and intensities compatible with
surrounding districts. Areas designated religious should not be used for other purposes
without an amendment to this plan. Zoning regulations could permit religious uses on
sites not so designated by this plan. Building heights shall not exceed the average of the
maximum permitted in the surrounding zoning districts.,- ` but in no case shall a building
exceed two stories.
NEW FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY
In order to create an appropriate land use category and zoning district that would assist in
implementing the strategy, the Planning and Zoning Department, working with the City
Commission have prepared a new future land use element which could be applied to
areas that specifically require medical services. The following parameters were used to
develop the category:
1. The new land use category cannot exceed the maximum of two (2) stories.
2. The maximum building height for the new land use category shall be as per the
following sub - parameters:
a. Compatible with the surrounding and abutting properties and the immediate
neighborhood;
b. Consistent with the zoning district that the site is located in;
c. Consistent with the Dimensional Requirements for Non - Residential Districts,
Section 20- 3.5(G) of the Land Development Code;
3. The maximum density for the new land use category shall be as per the following
sub - parameters:

a. Compatible with the surrounding and abutting properties and immediate
neighborhood;
b. Consistent with the zoning district that the site is located in;
c. Consistent with the Dimensional Requirements for Non - Residential Districts,
Section 20- 3.5(G) of the Land Development Code;
4. Impact of the proposed use on the city's infrastructure; and
5. Is the amendment compatible with and does it advance the city's objectives and
policies contained in the comprehensive plan.
FUTURE REZONING
The approval of the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment is a pre - requisite for a
future zoning district change, which will implement the Future Land Use Category. The
current zoning district of "PI" Public Institutional allows for religious institutions
(churches) as a special use, requiring a special use review and approval. However, the
zoning district does not have specific dimensional requirements and may need to be
amended to an "R ", Religious Zoning District. Please refer to Section 20- 3.1(B)(28)
below. Staff is . currently reviving options to address a "possible" new district, which
reflects the intent of the Religious land use category.
Current Land Development Land Development Code
20- 3.1(B)(28) - Public /Institutional
PI" Public /Institutional District; The purpose of this district is to provide for schools,
governmental facilities, utilities and churches and similar uses, with building heights and
intensities compatible with surrounding districts. This district is appropriate in areas
designated "Public and Semi - Public" on the city's adopted. Comprehensive Plan.
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
I. The proposed amendment was recommended in the 2006 Evaluation and Appraisal
Report, and is consistent with the adopted report (as amended).
2. A rezoning of the property may be required to change it from the existing Public
Institutional zoning district to a Religious zoning district. A religious zoning district
has not yet been established and will require Planning Board review and
recommendation prior to Commission approval.
3. The land use amendment and a subsequent zoning district change will formally
recognize the City's efforts and citizen participation in assuring the continued
compatibility of religious institutions with the surrounding residential neighborhood.
4. The impact of the proposed land use map category change will be insignificant as it
pertains to public facilities including traffic, waste collection, water and sewers.
5. Whenever a proposed change effectively makes the land use and zoning more
restrictive, there is always the possibility that the property owner could file a legal
challenge under Florida's Bert Harris Act.

Background of Bert Harris Act
The Bert J. Harris, Jr. Private Property .Rights Protection Act of 1995 created a new
cause of action for an aggrieved property owner who demonstrates that governmental
action "inordinately burdens" his property. The Act provides:
The terms "inordinate burden" and "inordinately burdened":
Mean that an action of one or more governmental entities has directly restricted or
limited the use of real property such that the property owner is permanently unable to
attain the reasonable, investment- backed expectation for the existing use of the real
property or a vested right to a specific use of the real property with respect to the real
property as a whole, or that the property owner is left with existing or vested uses that
are unreasonable such that the property owner bears permanently a disproportionate
share of a burden imposed for the good of the public, which in fairness should be borne
by the public at large. [70.001(3)(e)1. Florida Statutes (2012) - Private property rights
protection]
The following is a timeline as it relates to this property.
Fellowship Church (formerly First Baptist) 6781 Sunset Drive
• 1968 Special Exception granted to construct the First Baptist Church of South
Miami in an RU -IA zone
+ 1971 the property is zoned RB -2 (residential buffer district - townhomes)
• 1988 Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designation as Public Institutional (4- story)
• 1989 zoning map indicates the property is zoned Public Institutional
• 1997- Present the property has a FLUM designation of Public Institutional (4- story)
• July 2006 First Baptist sells the property to Fellowship Church
• 2011 Commission adopts new Religious future land use plan category
• 2012 Local Planning Agency recommends application of "R" category to FLUM
• Currently Zoned Public Institutional; staff is reviewing proposed Religious zoning
category regulations for possible application.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that if the Commission wishes to proceed with the application of the
Religious land use category, it should also be aware of the potential for a legal claim
under the Bert Harris Act. Additionally, if the land use map is amended to the new
category, then the Commission should consider approving a new or amended zoning
designation that reflects the intent of this land use category. It may be appropriate to wait
for the final adoption of the land use until such time that the zoning is also in place to
avoid creating a nonconforming condition between the land use and zoning.

NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE
Pastor Rivera 6750 Sunset Dr. Oppose

NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE
Scott Wilson 6781 Sunset Dr. Oppose
Scott Wilson is the Pastor of Fellowship Church Miami. He stated that he objects to this proposal
for three reasons. The first reason addressed was the lack of communication between the City of
South Miami and the church regarding this proposal. He stated that this proposal is viewed by
the church as their rights being stripped and would like the language to be changed. The second
reason stated were fixture considerations of a daycare and an elementary school being
implemented. The third reason stated was'the future sale of.the property to accommodate the
growing needs of the church; this will limit who they are able to sell to. He then stated that his
recommendation would be to table-this and work together with the attorneys to work out the
language in the proposal to prevent any future conflicts.

Maria Eisenhart 7029 SW 68th Ct. Support
She stated that she has been a resident for twenty -four years in this same house. She then stated
that she likes the church and has had no problems; however she stated there is rumor of the
church being sold with the possibility of a four story going up and the risk of it no longer being a
religious institution that in' itself is not favorable.
The Chairman Closed the Public Hearing.
Dr. Philips stated that if this proposal is approved does this limit the owners to use this property
as religious only. Mr. Brimo responded that as the definition that was adopted in the text for
ancillary use of this institution, this does not address the zoning issues relative to this property
this is just a land use amendment. Dr. Whitman stated that when the zoning is created for this

property then at that time a school or a religious school could be allowed as a special or
permitted use potentially. He then stated that this proposed change would not preclude the
church from running a school on their site. Mr. Brimo stated that currently under the public
institutional schools are permitted as special uses, so these properties would have to go through a
special use review process.
Mr. Brimo stated that in the near future in the Land Development Code the story designations
will be converted into heights and Land Use Map will show the categories with no designations.
Mr. Dundorf stated that this proposal is taking away the building rights of the property owners.
Dr. Whitman then suggested that he address the City Attorney Mr. Pepe regarding this issue. Mr.
Dundorf then asked Mr. Pepe if we are exposing ourselves to the risk of a law suit with the
taking away of rights to these churches if they had four story rights at the time of purchase
hypothetically speaking. Mr. Pepe responded that it is a good possibility and he needs to research
this further. Mr. Dundorf then asked the owners if they are planning to build a school. Pastor
Wilson stated there is that possibility of it and the language is still unclear to him. Pastor Rivera
stated that his concerns of building higher if there is a hurricane and the building is damaged
would they not be allowed to build again at the current height or would they be restricted. Mr.
Pepe responded that yes they would be allowed to rebuild at the current height. Pastor Rivera
then stated that if he wanted to build a community center on the property, a school or something
that would go higher than two. stories. Mrs. Beckman stated that the Board is just changing the
name of the Land Use category and not the zoning of this property. She then stated that zoning
has to be. shared with everyone in the City of South Miami and feels that it should be a two story
designation. Dr. Whitman stated that he fully supports this proposal and we need to limit the
height of buildings that are adjacent to our residential neighborhoods.

changes.

SOUTH MIAMI
Commission meeting gets contentious
- BUDGET, FROM 3SE
Mirabile said that despite
the struggles with the econo-
my, the city was in good @-
nancial health This year, the
city is "veak ry close to coming
to bre- even" and even have
"some little savings." He said
he had some concerns for
next year. For the first time in
the history of South Miami,
the police departments cost
is greater than the general
fund revenues from property
taxes, he said.
Commissioners also rati-
fied a budget and finance
advisory committee Tues-
day. Mirabile was not at the
meeting, but in a letter to
commissioners, he recom-
mended that they disap-
prove of Commissioner
Walter Harris' appointee to
the committee, composed of
resident volunteers with ex-
pertise in finance.
Harris appointed Yvonne
Beckman. Mayor Philip
Stoddard appointed Gabriel
Edmond. Liebman appoint-
ed Scott Fuhrman. Commis-
sioner Valerie Newman ap-
pointed Bradley Cassel.
Their terms end Sept. 30.
Mirabile accused Beck-
man of being biased against
him because of his Cuban
heritage. He cited emails
where she and others re-
.ferred to him, Police Chief
Orlando Martinez de Castro
and Newman, who are all of
Cuban heritage, as the "Cu-
ban Mafia"
"It is illegal in this country
to discriminate on the basis
of race, creed, sexual orien-
tation or national origin"
Mirabile said in the letter.
Beckman said she was not
discriminating against Mi-
rabile and said that she likes
Cubans. Stoddard disap-
proved of Mirabile's letter
and presented a response. In
his letter addressed to Mira -
bile, he said that his allega-
tions of "hate crime" and
"conspiracy" were extreme
and inaccurate.
"Conspiracy means that
people are agreeing to com-
mit a crime. No one has
committed a crime here,"
Stoddard said. "In a demo-
cratic process, residents can
get together and discuss ide-
as, even if they are planning•
to propose a change in gov-
ernment. That's allowed
and it's not a conspiracy."
Newman was so upset
that she shouted at Stod
dard, calling him a "liar." She
also said that she was turn-
ing in evidence of alleged
discrimination to the De-
partment of Justice and
posting the emails on anew
blog she planned on launch-

Welsh said Newman and
Mirabile's accusations lack
weight. He has expressed
publicly and in one of the
flyers he hands out to city
residents that he doesn't
think Mirabile and Martinez
de Castro have the city's
best interest at heart.
Earlier this month, Welsh
called for a special meeting
to propose a charter change
that would allow voters to
change the current form of
government Under the cur-
rent city manager form of
government, the c hief finan-
cial officer and the police
chiefreport to the city man-
ager. Welsb's proposal
would permanently give the
commission more power
over both offices.
"We are the body that
hears what the people
want," Welshsaid. "We want
to make sure that the city's
purchasing is being done
properly and is getting a
good price."
The commission as a
whole wasn't convinced.
Liebman said commission-
ers were not equipped to
"micromanage" either office
and that he trusted Mirabile
and Martinez de Castro and
that both had proved coin
petent. City attorneyThom-
as Pepe said the change
would violate the police
chief's contract
While discussing the bud-
get process, Mirabile said that
the current form of govern-
ment was "crystal tramper
ent' and that changing it
would create instability and
chaos.

manager, fire him for cause,
or if not, fire him for no
cause" Mirabile said at a
meeting.
Welsh said he disagreed
with Mimbile, and he is de-
termined to push for "pro-
gressive change." Stoddard
is open to the "experiment"
"If the commission had
agreed to do it, then there
would be a proposal that
would be put on the Novem-
ber ballot," Stoddard ex-
plained "I think there are
merits to the idea, so we are
supporting a charter review
