Subject
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 Mixed -Use Commercial
Residential (Four Story) to Parks and Open Space for the three properties
identified as a part of the Murray Park Community Center located at 5845 -5855
SW 68th Street and 6731 SW 58th Place, and legally described as Lots 10 thru 17,
Block 8, Townsite of Larkins (Folio Nos. 09- 4025- 028 -0900, 09- 4025- 028 -0910, 09-
4025- 028 - 0920); providing for severability; providing for ordinances in conflict; and
providing an effective date.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The subject application PB -10 -019 is a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
amendment initiated by the City (Local Planning Agency) as a small scale Future Land
Use Map amendment. The City owned property consists of eight lots constituting three
vacant parcels which are part of the Murray Park Community Center site. The property is
located at the southwest corner of the Community Center site. The city has determined
that the property will be the location of a new swimming pool and related facilities in the
near future. An RFP soliciting professional design expertise has now been published.
The subject property has a current Future Land Use Map designation of Mixed -Use
Commercial Residential (Four Story) which is not appropriate for the uses proposed.
The parcels should have the same Future Land Use Map Category as the Community
center which is 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
2
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
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 subject property prior to 1980 and it was made part of the Murray
Park Community Center. The 2001 plans for the Community Center show the property
being used as part of the baseball field.
PROPOSED AMENDMENT REVIEW
A small scale Future Land Use Map Amendment is required to change the designation of
Mixed -Use Commercial Residential (Four Story) to the same Future Land Use Map
Category as the Community Center which is Parks and Open Space.

1. Compatibility of Use: the property is part oz the airy s muiu- PurPvsu �� Immy
center site. The use of the property as part of the Community Center serving local
area residents is a compatible land use.
2. Compatibility of Density— Height: The property size is 0.67 acres (29,400 sq. ft.) The
existing land use map category and the existing zoning district would allow for
commercial and office buildings to be built if the property was available for
development. The proposed future land use map category will allow only park and
recreational uses.
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
Increases acreage in the park and open space category.
Positive impact
b) Schools
No impact.
c) Solid Waste
No impact.
Wastewater (Sewer)
Will require County approval for sewer connection
Additional GPD (to be determined when pool size is known)
d) Potable Water
Will require County approval for water connection
Additional GPD (to be determined when pool size is known)
e) Traffic /Streets
Will impact traffic and off street parking spaces
Traffic and use data will determine extent
(to be determined when pool size is known)
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:
RECREATION AND OPEN SPACE ELEMENT
Goal l To ensure the availability ofadequate parkfacilities and open
space for citizens of South Miami.
Policy 1.1.1 Retain the existing park acreage and facilities, thereby
providing level of service standard of 4 acres per 1, 000
population.
LAND USE ELEMENT
Goal l To maintain and improve the City's neighborhoods, and the quality
of life of existing and future residents.
Objective 1.1 The City shall implement its Future Land Use Plan Map through
its land development regulations. Uses that are inconsistent with
M
community character as set forth on the Future Land Use Map
shall be eliminated.......
Policy 1.1.2 In reviewing proposed amendments to this plan and the Zoning
Map, compatibility with adjacent uses shall be the major
determinant.
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 "LO" Light- Intensity Office 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 by adding open space acreage required to maintain the required
level of service standard.
2. The amendment is needed in order to accurately reflect the use of the property on the
City's official Future Land Use Map.
3. The use of the property is compatible with abutting land uses.
4. The proposed land use map category change will have a positive impact on Parks/
Recreational Facilities and no impact on schools or solid waste. The land use change
and the pool development will impact potable water, traffic, and sewers to a degree to
be determined when the pool size is known.

1. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan by adding open space acreage required to maintain the required level of
service standard.
2. The amendment is needed in order to accurately reflect the use of the property on the City's
official Future Land Use Map.
3. The use of the property is compatible with abutting land uses.
4. The proposed land use map category change will have a positive impact on Parks/
Recreational Facilities and no impact on schools or solid waste. The land use change and the
pool development will impact potable water, traffic, and sewers to a degree to be determined
when the pool size is known.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the proposed change of Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map
category designation of Mixed -Use Commercial Residential (Four Story) for the pool area of
the Community Center located at 5800 SW 66th Street to the "Parks and Open Space"
category be approved.

Community Center located at 5845 -5855 SW 68th Street and 6731 SW 58th Place, and
legally described as Lots 10 thru 17, Block 8, Townsite of Larkins (Folio Nos. 09- 4025 -028-
0900, 09- 4025- 028 -0910, 09- 4025 -028- 0920); providing for severability; providing for
ordinances in conflict; and providing an effective date.
Action: Mrs. Yates read the item into the record.
Mr. Youkilis stated that the item is another change of Land Use Category. He commented these
three parcels are currently assigned the Land Use Category of Mixed -Use Commercial
Residential that is the same category that is in the downtown area. This was done in 1997; the
three lots are part of the Murray Park center. The vacant lots were made part of the community
center many years ago however, the zoning and the Land Use was never adjusted.
As of this moment, there is a commitment by the city to place a swimming pool in that area. The
city is seeking money and it would not be appropriate for the pool to be located in a Mixed -Use
Commercial Residential Land Use district. This area should be changed to Parks and Open
Space. There is some impact on water, sewers and solid waste to be determined. The change will
increase the acreage in the park and open space category. It will require county approval for
sewer connection. Potable water will be determined when pool size is known. The change will
impact traffic and off street parking spaces but the impact will be determined when the pool size
is known. Staff recommends approval to allow the proposed change of Comprehensive Plan
Future Land Use Map Category to the Parks and Open Space category.
Mrs. Yates questioned this will come back to the Board for re- zoning at a future date. Mr.
Youkilis responded yes.
The Chair opened the public hearing.
NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT /OPPOSE PROJECT
Sharon McCain 7502 SW 58 Avenue Oppose
Ms. McCain commented that there is a time and place for everything. The location of the pool
has not been determined, it has not been voted on unanimously, and there is no maintenance cost
or funding for the pool. There is no rush and a final decision should be made once the funds are
in order before a decision is made.
The Chair closed the public hearing.
Mrs. Beckman questioned if there has ever been any people who wanted to put homes in this
location. Mr. Youkilis responded not that he has heard of The property is owned by the City.
Mr. Cruz questioned how long the City has owned these properties. Mr. Youkilis responded
before 1980; however, the documentation could not be found.

Mr. Cruz questioned how come there is missing documentation since 1980. Mr. Feingold
responded that the City Commission sees this issue at every meeting. The City records are often
hard to find. This will not be the first or last time that this will occur, but it must be corrected.
Mrs. Yates commented that is it the right time to change this property and I do not think this will
be anything but a park.
Mr. Cruz commented that there is a bunch of documentation missing. Mr. Youkilis commented
that the County Clerk should have it, but we would have to always hire a firm to track down the
information.
Motion: Mr. Morton moved to approve the amendment as presented. Mrs. Young seconded.
