An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami,
Florida, amending the text of the South Miami Comprehensive Plan, by amending
the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element in order to adopt a new future
land use map category entitled "Low Density Multiple -Family Residential (Two -
Story)," which in the future could be applied to development projects and

and providing an effective date.

The City Commission at its May 3, 2011 meeting passed on first reading, the new future
land use map category of "Low Density Multiple- Family Residential (Two -Story) by a
vote of 5 -0. This proposed amendment was transmitted to the Florida Department of

(3), Florida Statutes, as part of an amendment package designated 1 I -IESR. The DCA
and respective agencies found that the proposed amendment has no adverse impact. The
City may now adopt this proposed plan amendment; upon.final adoption, the item will be
transmitted to the State pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes. It
is important to note that the effective date of the ordinance has been amended with
language received from the State, to reflect statutory requirements for expedited reviews:
BACKUP MATERIAL FOR PLAN AMENDMENTS
Also included as a part of the backup material for this item are the comments from the
DCA and respective agencies. Please note that the comments pertain to all the proposed
plan amendments that were transmitted, and which are part of the amendment package
designated 11 -IESR. In the interest of saving on the duplicating costs, the comments
from the various agencies will only be reproduced with this item. The remaining
four (4) amendments will not have this material attached.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT: GENERAL INFORMATION (FROM
MAY 3 2017. CITY COMMISSION MEETING)
A change in the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element can be initiated by a
property owner, the Local Planning Agency and the City Commission. An amendment to
the City's Comprehensive Plan document or the future land use map category requires
the adoption of an ordinance by the city commission after receiving advise from the
City's Local Planning Agency Following adoption of the application by the City
Commission, the application package is then submitted to other agencies and the Florida
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for review and approval.
It was recognized that the existing future land use map category of Single- Family
Residential zoning district would not permit any form of housing except single- family.
The objective of maximizing housing requires the creation of a new category to the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element.
NEW FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORY
The Planning and Zoning Department working with Commissioner Beasley has prepared
a new Future Land Use Category. The following parameters were used to develop the
new future land use category.
(1) The new land use category must mandate that development be either town homes
units or multi - family units.
(2) The maximum height permitted by the new land use category should be two
stories which would be compatible with all transitional residential areas.
(3) The maximum residential density should be set at 20 units per acre. This number
would allow development at a level proposed to the CRA Board by Habitat for
Humanity.
(4) The 20 units per acre number is between the City's current highest residential
densities in the LDC of 18 units per acre in the RM -18 District, and 24 units per
acre in RM -24 District. It is below the current maximum units per acre of 24
which is allowed in the Multi - Family Residential (Four -Story) which is the
maximum permitted by any current land use category.
It is important to note that prior to 1997 the City did have a Low Density Multi- Family
Residential (Two Story) future land use map category which had a maximum height limit
of two stories and a maximum of 18 units per acre. The 1997 EAR amendments removed
that category and changed the land use category on the map for all properties within that
category to a new Multi- Family Residential (Four Story) category. The expressed
purpose was to simplify the number of land use categories; however, little consideration,
was given to the fact that these properties abutted single family homes.
If the "Low Density - Multiple Family Residential (Two Story)" category is approved and
adopted by the City Commission, the City can then proceed to change the Future Land
Use Map by applying this category to appropriate properties.
LOCAL PLANNING AGENCY RECOMMENDATION
The Local Planning Agency at its meeting on April 26, 2011 after public hearing, adopted
a motion by a vote of 7 ayes 0 nay recornmending approval of the proposed amendment
with the condition that the density be reduced from 20 units per acre to 18 units per acre.
RECOMMENDATION
ION
It is recommended that the amendment set forth above be adopted on fugal reading and
transmitted to the State.

Department of Community Affairs certifies its completeness.
Objections and Comments relate to specific inconsistencies with relevant portions of the SRPP, which was
adopted pursuant to Rule 29f-2.009, Florida Administrative Code. Council staff will work with local
governments to address Objections and Comments identified during the review of a proposed
amendment between the transmittal and the adoption of the amendment.

The proposed amendment package consists of seven (7) text changes for new, future land use
designations to the City of South Miami's Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element, to enhance
compatibility between residential and commercial uses. These amendments are based on
recommendations made during the 2006 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR). The following Future
Land Use Map categories are being proposed. However, none are being applied to the FLUM at this
time.
1. The proposed Low Density Multiple - Family Residential (Two Story) Category would limit the
maximum density for new residential projects to 20 units per acre and to a maximum height of
two stories; facilitating compatibility with transitional residential areas.
2. The Public /Institutional (Two Story) Category would be amended to remove educational and
religious facilities .as a sub - category; allow the development of governmental facilities, utilities,
and ancillary uses; and limit building height to two stories for greater compatibility with
surrounding uses.
3. The Public /Institutional (Four -Story) Category would be amended, to remove educational and
religious facilities as a sub - category; allow the development of governmental facilities, utilities,
and ancillary uses; and limit building height to four stories for greater compatibility with
surrounding uses.
4. The proposed Religious (Two-Story) Category will guide the development of religious facilities
and ancillary uses and limit building height to two stories for greater compatibility with
surrounding uses.
5. The proposed Educational (Two -Story) Category will guide, the development of educational
facilities and ancillary uses and limit building height to two stories for greater compatibility with
surrounding uses.
6. The proposed Mixed Use - Commercial /Residential (Two Story) Category will guide mixed
commercial and retail uses as long as one floor contains residential development. The Future
Land Use Map category would also limit building height to two stories for greater compatibility
with surrounding uses.
7. The proposed Hospital category would allow the development of health facilities in areas that
could support the resulting building Neigh intensities, and transportation and traffic demands.

Re: Proposed City of South Miami Comprehensive Plan Amendments; DCA No. 11 -1ESR
Dear Mr. Brimo:
The Department of Planning and Zoning (Department) has reviewed the seven proposed City of
South Miami Comprehensive Plan amendments. Our review is conducted to identify points of
consistency or inconsistency with 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.
The applications propose to amend the text of the South Miami Comprehensive Plan Future Land
Use Element as follows:
Application 1: Adopt a new Future Land Use Map category entitled "Low Density Multiple -
Family Residential (Two Story)" to allow townhouse or multi- family
residential units, at a density of 18 /dwelling units per acre, within single -
family residential zoning districts in Transitional Residential areas;
%t �; Application 2: Amend the Future Land Use Map category entitled "Public /institutional (Two
I r ps j Story)" to remove schools, churches, temples and synagogues from this
�r rk land use category and allow only governmental facilities, utility and ancillary
®j® uses;
Application 3: Amend the Future Land Use Element to adopt a new Future Land Use Map
category entitled 'Religious (Two Story) " — separated from the 'Public/
Institutional (TLVO Story) category —to allow development projects that
provide religious facilities and ancillary uses;
Application 4: Amend the Future Land Use Element to adopt a new Future Land Use Map
category entitled "Educational (Two Story) " — separated from the Public/
Institutional category-to be applied to projects and properties providing
educational facilities and ancillary uses;
Application 5: Amend the Future Land Use Map category entitled "Public /Institutional Uses
(Four Story)" to remove schools, churches, temples and synagogues from
this land use category;

Page 2 of 2
Application 6: Adopt a new Future Land Use Map category entitled "Mixed Use -
Commerciai /Residential (Two Story)" to alloy mixed use commercial /office
uses; proposed projects are required to contain a residential component
regardless of use (at a minimum one floor must contain residential); and
Application 7: Adopt a new Future Land Use Map category entitled "Hospital' to be applied
to development projects and properties providing hospital facilities, and to
establish permitted heights, densities and intensities.
The Department finds the proposed text amendments to the Future Land Use Element and Map
generally consistent with the CDMP, and there appear to be no impacts to County public facilities
and services. However, the City should submit.Future Land Use Maps indicating: a) the existing
and proposed future land use designations of those properties being considered for redesignatiori,
and b) properties proposed to receive a new future land use designation.
if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or Mark R. Woerner, Chief,

Comments on Proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendment Package
The South Florida Water Management District (District) has completed its review of the
proposed amendment package submitted by the City of South Miami (City). The
submitted package includes proposed text amendments to the Future Land Use
Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan that would create five new land use
categories and amend two existing land use categories. No amendments are being
proposed at this time to designate the new land use categories on the City's Future
Land Use Map. There appear to be no regionally significant water resource issues;
therefore, the District forwards no comments on the proposed amendment package.
The District offers its technical assistance to the City, its water supplier, and the
Department of Community, Affairs in developing sound, sustainable solutions to meet
the City's future water supply needs and to protect the region's water resources. For
assistance or additional information, please contact Terry Manning at (561) 682 -6779 or

Gerard Robinson
Commissioner of Education
3%,!II0ttzL,'id,
Thank you for the opportunity to review the proposed South Miami 11 -1 amendment package,
which the Office of Educational Facilities received on August 15, 2011. As we discussed by
telephone last week, while the amendment does not propose changes to the city's
comprehensive plan that appear to create adverse impacts on public school facilities, I would
like to offer technical comment for the city's consideration.
The amendments include proposed policy text changes to the future land use categories in
which public schools are allowed. Last week you said the city had not yet discussed the
proposed changes with staff of Miami -Dade County Public Schools and that you will do so prior
to adoption of the amendments. That is reassuring because the intensity standards and height
limits may conflict with State Requirements for Educational Facilities, which is prohibited by
Sections 1013.33(13) and (15), F.S. Coordination with the school district is also important to
fulfill requirements of Sections 163.3177(h)l., F -S -, and the city's obligations in Section 7 of the
Amended and Restated Intarlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning in Miami -
Dade County.
