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 map category from Mixed -Use Commercial
Residential (Four Story) to Residential / Limited Commercial District (Two Story)
for an area identified as all properties facing the west side of SW 62 Avenue from
SW 64th Street to SW 70th Street including 6230 SW 69th Street said properties
more specifically legally described in Section 1 of this ordinance; providing for
severability; providing for ordinances in conflict; and providing an effective date.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The subject application is a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map amendment
being initiated by the City (Local Planning Agency). The amendment proposed is the
result of a request from the City Commission to implement a new Future Land Use Map
category placed in the Comprehensive Plan as part of the Evaluation and Appraisal
Report adopted in 2010.
The subject property has a current Future Land Use Map designation of Mixed Use
Commercial Residential (Four story). The appropriate Future Land Use Map Category
will be the Residential / Limited Commercial District (Two Story).
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). The amendment
for SW 62 Avenue qualifies as a small -scale amendment in that it is less than 10 acres
and has a residential density below 10 units per acre (FL Stat, 163.3187(c)(1). The
2
amendment will be sent to the Florida Department of Community Affairs. However,
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.
The planning history of development along this corridor has been the subject of many
studies and reports going back almost 25 years. In order to understand some of the issues
facing the area, the following summary history is provided.
(1) 1994- Hometown Plan Area 2 Plan. Recommendations for the SW 62 Ave. Corridor
(aka Paul Tevis Drive) were included in this plan which was developed using the citizen
charrette process. A number of streetscape design recommendations were made and it
was proposed that "infill new Main Street" buildings should be located on the west side
of SW 62 Ave,
(2) 1997 - The EAR Amendments submitted to DCA and approved by the City
implemented the 1994 recommendations by changing the future land use map category
for the corridor from Neighborhood Retail (Two Story) to a new category entitled Mixed
Use Commercial/Residential (Four Story), also created in 1997. The basic philosophy
was to create mini downtowns in several neighborhoods. The new land use category was
applied to the SW 62 Ave. area, Madison Square, and the downtown. It requires mixed
use, allows 24 residential units per acre, four story height, and a 1.6 Floor -Area- Ratio.
The underlying zoning district of "NR" Neighborhood Retail which has extreme
limitations on development was never removed or replaced. The liberal land use category
and the very strict underlying zone is a basic unresolved conflict which has resulted in
on -going neighborhood concerns and no new development in the corridor.
(3) 2002 and 2003- The City conducted a "Charrette" planning exercise for the S.W. 62nd
Avenue Corridor. The charrette was guided by a team of experts from the University of
Miami, which issued a very detailed report on recommendations and ideas coming from
the charrette. The basic recommendation of the Final Report was that S.W. 62nd Avenue,
from SW 64 1h Street to SW 70th Street should be revitalized. The report recommended
that the subject area become a mixed use area with buildings of two to three stories. After
3
additional meetings and a workshop there were no decisions made on the development
issues for the SW 62 Avenue Corridor.
(4) 2006 —The adopted 2006 Evaluation and Appraisal Report set forth a specific
direction for the future land use category for the SW 62 Ave. Corridor (p. 12) as follows:
"Change mixed use commercial /residential to a category that allows
for current or existing uses plus mixed -use commercial /residential,
offices, or townhomes (limited to two stories) "
(5) 2009 -2010 — The City Commission at its October 20, 2009 meeting adopted
Ordinance No 24 -09 -2016 which placed a new future land use category entitled
"Residential / Limited Commercial District (Two Story)" into the pending Evaluation and
Appraisal Text Based Amendments document. The City Commission on April 6, 2010
adopted Ordinance No. 09 -10 -2034 approving all of the proposed EAR Based Text
Amendments to the Comprehensive Plan including the new future land use category
Residential / Limited Commercial District (Two Story).
PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT
A new future land use map category for the SW 62 Avenue Corridor must reflect the
current development trends in the area and current economic considerations. There has
been very little new construction in the corridor area for over a decade. The 1990's
concept of creating "main" street type buildings or a mini - downtown for the SW 62
Avenue Corridor is no longer appropriate at this time. This area must be thought of as a
transition area because of its immediate adjacency to single family homes abutting to the
west.
The future land use map category "Residential / Limited Commercial District (Two
Story) " is proposed for the SW 62 Avenue Corridor. The standards set forth are
compatible with the transitional character of the corridor and further recognizes that
limited residentially oriented retail uses and other services are acceptable. The proposed
land use category encourages mixed use but it is not a requirement. Finally all existing
buildings and uses may remain, however, those which are not compatible with the
adopted land use category or the new zoning use district will become non - conforming.
The category currently in the Comprehensive Plan reads as follows:
The Residential /Limited Commercial District (Two Story) future land
use map category is intended to allow for low - density residential
development and limited commercial development in a transition area
abutting single family homes. The maximum height of all new
construction shall be two stories. Residential development shall be
limited to townhouse development at a maximum of 5 units per acre.
Commercial development shall be limited to a maximum floor -area -ratio
El
oand shall include only those retail and personal service (office)
needs for the local neighborhood residential areas. The specific type of
retail and office uses shall be set forth in the appropriate zoning use
district in the Land Development Code. The Land Development Code
shall provide for a mandatory no- construction buffer / landscape area
and a required wall or fence at the rear of all properties facing or
abutting single family residential.
Mixed use development is encouraged. Existing buildings and uses
which are not consistent with the standards for this land use category or
with standards for the zoning use district applied to this area may
continue to exist and function but shall be subject to the non- conforming
regulations set forth in Land Development Code Section 20 -4.8.
ANALYSIS OF SW 62 AVENUE CORRIDOR
The west side of SW 62 Avenue between SW 64 Street and SW 70 Street which is
considered "the Corridor" consists of 21 lots and has a total land area of 4.57 acres
(199,000 square feet). A total of 2.71 acres (118,000 square feet) remain vacant. There
are six existing buildings with a total built floor area of 42,394 square feet. The existing
floor area ratios for the existing buildings range from 0.211 to 0.821 with an overall
average of 0.524. The existing uses include a professional office building, a community
newspaper publishing building, a personal skills instruction studio, a food store and a real
estate agency.

1. Compatibility of Use: The entire corridor directly abuts a single - family zoning
district. The use of property in the corridor would be limited to uses, density and
building height which would be compatible with single family homes.
5
2. Compatibility of Density/Height: The proposed land use map category would
limit development to two stories in height and a residential density which would
be compatible with the surrounding single family neighborhood.
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. This includes the impact (plus or minus) of the proposed change in land
use for parks, potable water, sewers, schools, roadways, and solid waste. The
Planning and Zoning Department is currently preparing a comparative chart
demonstrating the projected impact on public facility capacities of the subject land
use change. This data report will be part of second reading /public hearing agenda
package at the October 19, 2010 Commission meeting. It can be assumed that based
upon the reduction in density, units per acre and building height of the new future
land use category, the impact on public facility capacities will be significantly lower
than under the current future land use category.
4. Compatible with Comprehensive Plan.
A proposed Future Land Use Map Amendment is compatible with and advances 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.
Objective 1.1 The City shall implement its Future Land Use Plan Map through
its land development regulations. Uses that are inconsistent with
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 districts of "NR" Neighborhood Retail and "LO" Low Intensity Office
will need to be changed to the a new zoning use district which reflects the requirements
of the "Residential / Limited Commercial District (Two Story)" future land use category.
