INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM 2001
To: The Honorable Mayor Stoddard and Members of the City
Commission
Via: Buford R. "Randy" Witt, Acting City Manager fl, R,
From: Thomas J. Vageline, Director
Planning and Zoning Departmen
Date: July 27, 2010 ITEM No.-�
Subiect
An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami
Florida, amending the Future Land Use Map of the South Miami Comprehensive
Plan by changing the future land use category from Single - Family Residential (Two -
Story) to Parks and Open Space for the property identified as All- America Park
located at 6820 SW 64 Avenue (Folio No. 09- 4025- 000 - 0430); providing for
severability; providing for ordinances in conflict; and providing an effective date.
The subject application PB -10 -013 for a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
amendment is being initiated by the City in order to carry out amendments to the FLUM
which were recommended in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report which was adopted by
the City Commission in 2006. The subject property has a current Future Land Use Map
designation of Single Family Residential (Two - Story). The City owned property is
currently used as a passive open space park in which native vegetation and large trees are
preserved. The appropriate Future Land Use Map Category will be Parks and Open
Space.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT: GENERAL INFORMATION
A change in the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map 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 requires the adoption
of an ordinance by the City Commission after receiving a recommendation from the
City's Local Planning Agency (Planning Board). Following adoption of the application
by the City Commission, (second reading of the ordinance) the application package is
then submitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). This
amendment qualifies as a small -scale amendment and therefore DCA will not review or
comment upon the application unless a compliance protest is filed within a specified time
period.
The review process for a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map amendment differs
from the process used to review zoning district changes, variances, and site plans. A
2
future land use map amendment review is concerned with the following basic issues: 1)
compatibility of the proposed use with surrounding uses; 2) compatibility of the proposed
density and height to the limits contained in the Plan and to the immediate neighborhood;
3) impact of the proposed use on the City's infrastructure; and 4) is the amendment
compatible with and does it advance the City's objectives and policies contained in the
Comprehensive Plan.
RECENT HISTORY OF THE SITE
The City purchased the property at 6820 SW 64 Avenue in 1997 for the purpose of
preserving the natural vegetation and trees. It has been described as an excellent example
of the "Old Florida" ecosystem.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT REVIEW
The subject proposed amendment for 6820 SW 64 Avenue (All- America Park) was listed
in the 2006 Evaluation and Appraisal Report which was adopted by Ordinance No. 01-
06 -1869 on January 5, 2006 and approved by the Florida DCA in May, 2006. The
Potential Future Land Use Map Amendments Chart (pp.12 -13) indicates that All -
America Park requires a change to the Parks and Open Space Category. (see attached)

1. Compatibility of Use: The property is located in the center of a single - family zoning
district. The creation of a public park and the preservation of the natural habitat is a
compatible land use.
2. Compatibility of Density/Height: The property size is 1.40 acres. The existing land
use map category and the existing zoning district would allow for a total of three or
four one or two story homes to be built if the property had been re- platted and
developed. The proposed future land use map category will only allow for a passive
park.
3. Impact on Public Facilities: An important element of a future land use map
amendment is to assess the impact of the change on the public infrastructure serving
the site. For purposes of this report, presented below is a summary of the projected
impact of the proposed land use map category on public facility capacity.
a) Park/Recreation Facilities
Level of Service (LOS): City Comprehensive Plan: 4 acres per 1,000 pop.
A total of 1.40 acres added to City's recreation and open space inventory which
assists the City to maintain the required Level of Service.
Concurrency Fee - None
b) Schools
0 students; No impact.
c) Solid Waste
0 lbs /day; No impact.
d) Wastewater (Sewer)
0 gallons /per day; No impact
e) Potable Water
0 gallons /per day; No impact
f) Traffic /Streets
0 trips added; No impact
Capacity: sufficient: insignificant traffic, no impact on surrounding roadways.
4. Compatible with Comprehensive Plan.
A proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment should be compatible with and
advance the goals and policies contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The
proposed amendment is consistent with and supports the following goals and policies:
LAND USE ELEMENT
Goal To maintain and improve the City's neighborhoods, and the
quality of life of existing and future residents.
Policy 1.1.2 In reviewing proposed amendments to this plan and the Zoning
Map, compatibility with adjacent uses shall be the major
determinant.
RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
GOAL I To ensure the availability of adequate park facilities and open
space for citizens of South Miami.
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 "RS -3" Low - Density Residential will need to be changed to the
"PR ", Parks and Recreation Zoning District.
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed amendment was recommended in the 2006 Evaluation and Appraisal
Report.
3. The amendment is needed in order to accurately reflect the location of City parks on
the Future Land Use Map and to maintain and protect the City's inventory of
recreation and open space.
4. The land use amendment and a subsequent zoning district change will formally
recognize the City's efforts in assuring the expansion and protection of natural
habitats and green open space.
5. 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.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION
The Planning Board at its July 13, 2010 meeting, after a public hearing, voted 7 ayes 0
nays to recommend approval of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
(FLUM) amendment.
It is recommended that the proposed Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
amendment from the "Single Family Residential" Land Use Map category to the "Parks
and Open Space" category for 6820 SW 64 Avenue (All- America Park) be approved.

City of South Miami 2006 Evaluation and Appraisal Report
In addition to the need for the creation of additional districts, there are a number of areas
where the Future Land Use and /or zoning designations need to be amended to: ensure
consistency between Future Land Use and zoning; provide for a more logical distribution
of land uses; provide appropriate transitions between neighborhoods and uses, and; reflect
existing land uses. Proposed amendments to the Future Land Use Plan Map and /or Zoning
Map are detailed on Table ILA.2. and identified on Figure II.A.3. Please note that such
amendments are only proposed, and would not be enacted until the subsequent EAR -based
amendment process and/or through related revisions to the land development regulations.
Some of these recommendations are based on discussions that have taken place in previous
planning and public participation processes, while others are based on consideration of
suggestions by citizens, property owners, and /or staff. Additional amendments and
revisions that are not noted on Table ILA.2. or Figure II.A.3. might be proposed during the
EAR -based amendments or update of the land development regulation.

To: Honorable Chair & Local Date: July 13, 2010
Planning Agency Members
From: Thomas J. Vageline, Director Re: Comprehensive Plan Future
Planning and Zoning Department Land Use Map Amendment: 6820
SW 64 Ave.
PB -10 -013
Applicant: City of South Miami
Location: 6820 SW 64 Ave.
An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami Florida,
amending the Future Land Use Map of the South Miami Comprehensive Plan by changing
the future land use category from Single- Family Residential (Two - Story) to Parks and
Open Space for the property identified as All- America Park located at 6820 SW 64 Avenue
(Folio No. 09- 4025 - 000 - 0430); providing for severability; providing for ordinances in
conflict; and providing an effective date.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The subject application PB -10 -013 for a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map amendment
is actually being initiated by the City in order to carry out amendments to the FLUM which were
recommended in the Evaluation and Appraisal Report which was adopted by the City
Commission in 2006. The subject property has a current Future Land Use Map designation of
Single Family Residential (Two- Story). The City owned property is currently used as a passive
open space park in which native vegetation and large trees are preserved. The appropriate Future
Land Use Map Category will be Parks and Open Space.
A change in the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map 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 requires the adoption of an
ordinance by the City Commission after receiving a recommendation from the City's Local
Planning Agency (Planning Board). Following approval of the application by the City
Commission, (first reading of the ordinance) the application package is then submitted to the
Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). This amendment qualifies as a small -scale
amendment and therefore DCA will not review or comment upon the application unless a
compliance protest is filed within a specified time period.
The review process for a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map amendment differs from the
Future Land Use Map Amendment

process used to review zoning district changes, variances, and site plans. A future land use map
amendment review is concerned with the following basic issues: 1) compatibility of the proposed
use with surrounding uses; 2) compatibility of the proposed density and height to the limits
contained in the Plan and to the immediate neighborhood; 3) impact of the proposed use on the

objectives and policies contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
RECENT HISTORY OF THE SITE
The City purchased the property at 6820 SW 64 Avenue in 1997 for the purpose of preserving
the natural vegetation and trees. It has been described as an excellent example of the "Old
Florida" ecosystem.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT REVIEW
The subject proposed amendment for 6820 SW 64 Avenue (All- America Park) was listed in the
2006 Evaluation and Appraisal Report which was adopted by Ordinance No. 01 -06 -1869 on
January 5, 2006 and approved by the Florida DCA in May, 2006. The Potential Future Land Use
Map Amendments Chart (pp.12 -13) indicates that All- America Park requires a change to the

Compatibility of Use: The property is located in the center of a single - family zoning
district. The creation of a public park and the preservation of the natural habitat is a
compatible land use.
2. Compatibility of Density/Ileight: The property size is 1.40 acres. The existing land use map
category and the existing zoning district would allow for a total of six one or two story
homes to be built if the property had been re- platted and developed. The proposed future land
use map category will only allow for a passive park.
3. Impact on Public Facilities: An important element of a future land use map amendment is
to assess the impact of the change on the public infrastructure serving the site. For purposes
of this report, presented below is a summary of the projected impact of the proposed land use
map category on public facility capacity.

4. Compatible with Comprehensive Plan.
A proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment should be compatible with and advance the
goals and policies contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment is
consistent with and supports the following goals and policies:
LAND USE ELEMENT
Goal 1 To maintain and improve the City's neighborhoods, and the quality of life
of existing and future residents.
Policy 1.1.2 In reviewing proposed amendments to this plan and the Zoning Map,
compatibility with adjacent uses shall be the major determinant.
RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
GOAL 1 To ensure the availability of adequate park facilities and open space for
citizens of South Miami.
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 "RS -3" Low - Density Residential will need to be changed to the "PR ", Parks and
Recreation Zoning District.

STAFF OBSERVATIONS
1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed amendment was recommended in the 2006 Evaluation and Appraisal Report.
3. The amendment is needed in order to accurately reflect the location of City parks on the
Future Land Use Map and to maintain and protect the City's inventory of recreation and open
space.
4. The land use amendment and a subsequent zoning district change will formally recognize the
City's efforts in assuring the expansion and protection of natural habitats and green open
space.
5. 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.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the proposed Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
amendment from the "Single Family Residential" Land Use Map category to the "Parks and
Open Space" category for 6820 SW 64 Avenue (All- America Park) be approved.

the future land use category from Single - Family Residential (Two - Story) to Parks and
Open Space for the property identified as All- America Park located at 6820 SW 64 Avenue

Mr. Youkilis explained to the Board that the process for changing the Future Land Use map
requires that the Planning Agency make the recommendation for any changes, and then it goes to
the City Commission for two readings and a public hearing. The amendments are then sent
Tallahassee Department of Community Affairs (DCA). However, when it is a small scale
amendment the DCA does not review it, but sends it back for approval. Within thirty days, the
Department of Community Affairs will return the document for the City Commission to make a
decision. When a Future Land Use map amendment is reviewed, the issue is reviewed differently
under State law. The amendment is reviewed to determine compatibility of the proposed use with
surrounding area, compatibility of the density and height contained in the plan and to the
immediate neighborhood, impact of the proposed use on the City's infrastructure and is the
amendment compatible with and does it advance the city's objectives and policies contained in
the Comprehensive Plan. The next three items are Land Use categories that are not correct on the
Land Use Map. The first item has to do with a City park, All America Park, 6220 SW 64
Avenue. The item is not single - family residence but needs to be Parks and Open Space. The city
bought the land in 1997 with the purpose of preserving the natural vegetation and trees. Staff has
determined that the property, which is located in the middle of a residential area should have the
category Parks and Open Space. The property is 1.40 acres and unless the Land Use category is
changed, several new single- family homes could be built on the lot. Mr. Youkilis commented
that having a park has no effect on the infrastructure when it comes to the schools, solid waste,
wastewater (sewer), potable water and traffic /streets. Staff has determined that the proposal is
compatible with the existing polices in the Comprehensive Plan. The zoning will need to be
changed at a later date. The first step includes changing the map to reflect the correct Future
Land Use Category and at a later date change the zoning to reflect the Parks and Recreation
District. Staff recommends that the location be changed to the Parks and Open Space category.
Mr. Morton questioned on the map shows that 68`h street going through to the north, which does
not exist. Mrs. Yates commented that it is a path.
The Chair opened the public hearing.
No speakers
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Mrs. Beckman questioned if the city has gone through the proper procedures before sending it to
DCA and if the following three items will require the same going through the same procedure.
Mr. Youkilis responded yes. Mrs. Beckman questioned the amount of the green space required
by the Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Youkilis replied that 44 acres of open space is required and
there are a total of 52 acres listed in the Comprehensive Plan.
Mrs. Yates suggested that if there is any additional questions on the item, staff could provide the
file during office hours.
Motion: Mr. Morton moved to approve the application as presented. Mr. Cruz seconded.
