From: Thomas J. Vageline, Director

Date: November 1, 2010 ITEM No.
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 Multi- Family Residential
(Four Story) to Low Density Affordable Multiple - Family Residential (Two Story)
for an area identified as the Lee Park Condominiums located within the block
bounded on the north by SW 68 Street, on the east by SW 59 Place, on the south by
SW 69 Street and on west by SW 62 Avenue including 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) at the request of the City Commission in
2009 and more recently at its meeting on October 5, 2010. The amendment proposed is
the result of concerns expressed on several occasions by the City Commission that in
1997 the Future Land Use Map category "Multi- Family Residential (Four Story)"
placed over the property identified as Lee Park Condominiums was not appropriate and
needs to be changed.
The new Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Category entitled "Low Density
Affordable Multiple - Family Residential (Two story)" was recently adopted by the
City Commission at its October 5, 2010 meeting and will be forwarded to the Florida
Department of Community Affairs for a standard review.
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). The application is then forwarded to
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for review and comment. DCA will request
2
comments from State agencies and other local planning agencies which will form the
basis of an ORC Report (objections, recommendations, and comments) which is
forwarded to the City. The City will then take final action (second reading /public
hearing) on the proposed map amendment.
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 public facilities; and 4) is the. amendment
compatible with and does it advance the City's objectives and policies contained in the
Comprehensive Plan.
EXISTING FUTURE LAND USE MAP CATEGORY
The 1997 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) recommended that the land use
category Low Density Multiple - Family Residential (Two Story) be eliminated and that
all properties in that category be changed to a new category "Multiple- Family Residential
(Four Story) ". The purpose of the change was to increase density (24 units per acre/ 4
stories) in order to encourage larger residential development projects.
Multiple- Family Residential (Four - Story)
The multiple family residential land use category is intended to provide for residential densities
of up to a maximum of 24 dwelling units per net acre. Multiple family residential development
shall be designed in order to create environmentally - sensitive and well- landscaped settings with
pedestrian and multi - modal, transit - oriented amenities. Zoning regulations shall be implemented
to preserve the existing densities of developed properties within established districts. Designers
should be encouraged to produce unique, flexible, multi -level projects, such as mixed -use
developments, including retail and office uses on ground floor levels. Zoning regulations for the
proposed Park View Townhouse area should include an option whereby townhouse
developments could be permitted at densities not to exceed 24 dwelling unit per acre.
PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT
In 2009 -2010 the City Commission expressed concerns that the type of development
encouraged by the Multiple Family Residential (Four Story) land use category and the
underlying zoning use district would not be compatible with the low density and two
story height limits of surrounding neighborhoods. It was agreed in a series of adopted
Resolutions in 2009 (see attached Resolution No. 205 -09- 13014) and in discussions at
meetings in 2010 that the land use category on specific properties would be modified.
The proposed future land use category "Low Density Affordable Multiple - Family
Residential (Two Story)" as adopted has the following parameters:
The Low Density Affordable Multiple Family Residential (Two Story) future land use
map category is intended to be applied to development projects and properties providing
affordable multiple family housing units or affordable town home units in transitional
residential neighborhoods.
3
Permitted heights, densities, and intensities shall be set forth as part of a corresponding
zoning use district in the Land Development Code subject to the following maximum
levels of development: maximum building height of two stories, and maximum residential
density of20 units per acre.
For the purpose of this Future Land Use Map category all residential units shall be
limited to housing units which service the low to moderate income segment of the
affordable housing group as defined by the US. Department of Housing and Urban
Development
SUMMARY OF LEE PARK CONDOMIMIUM SITE
The Lee Park Condominium project consists of privately owned housing units. It contains
118 dwelling units and estimated population of 295 persons. The project has a land area
of 6.06 acres and an existing density of 19.47 units per acre. It is occupied by townhome
type two story buildings.

Compatibility of Use: The proposed land use will assure that any future redevelopment
of the site will result in development which is compatible with the surrounding
community specifically the park area abutting on the north side and the low density
residential /commercial area (SW 62 Ave. Corridor) to the west.
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
4
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
has prepared a comparative chart demonstrating the projected impact on public facility
capacities of the subject land use change. This data report is attached. Based upon this
review the assignment of the new Future Land Use category will decrease the impact on
public facilities.
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 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
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.
HOUSING ELEMENT
Objective 1.3 The City and its Community Redevelopment Agency shall continue
to coordinate with public and private agencies to meet the
affordable housing needs of low and moderate income residents
through the implementation of specific programs, in accordance
with adopted plans.
FUTURE REZONING
The current zoning district on the property "RM -18" Low Density Multi - Family may
remain unchanged as its dimensional limitations (two story, 18 units per acre) will be
compatible with the new future land use map district.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION
The Planning Board (Local Planning Agency) after public hearing on October 26, 2010
adopted a motion by a vote of 4 ayes and 2 nays (Mr. Whitman, Mr. Farfan)
recommending denial of the proposed land use map change.
The Board as part of its adopted motion recommended that it would support the
placement of a future land use category on this property limiting future development to
two stories and 20 units per acre, however, the designation of mandatory affordable
housing should be removed. The Board requested the City Commission to direct the
preparation of a new multi - family residential future land use category without the
affordable housing requirement.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the proposed Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
amendment from Multi - Family Residential (Four Story) to Low Density Affordable
Multiple - Family Residential (Two Story) for the Lee Park Condominium site be
approved.

Applicant: City of South Miami
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 Multi- Family Residential
(Four Story) to Low Density Affordable Multiple - Family Residential (Two Story)
for an area identified as the Lee Park Condominiums located within the block
bounded on the north by SW 68 Street, on the east by SW 59 Place, on the south by
SW 69 Street and on west by SW 62 Avenue including 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) at the request of the City Commission in
2009 and more recently at its meeting on October 5, 2010. The amendment proposed is
the result of concerns expressed on several occasions by the City Commission that in
1997 the Future Land Use Map category "Multi- Family Residential (Four Story)"
placed over the property identified as Lee Park Condominiums was not appropriate and
needs to be changed.
The new Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Category entitled "Low Density
Affordable Multiple- Family Residential (Two story)" was recently adopted by the
City Commission at its October 5, 2010 meeting and will be forwarded to the Florida
Department of Community Affairs for a standard review.
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). The application is then forwarded to
Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for review and comment. DCA will request
comments from State agencies and other local planning agencies which will form the
basis of an ORC Report (objections, recommendations, and comments) which is
forwarded to the City. The City will then take final action (second reading /public
hearing) on the proposed map amendment.
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 public facilities; and 4) is the amendment
compatible with and does it advance the City's objectives and policies contained in the
Comprehensive Plan.
PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT
The proposed future land use category "Low Density Affordable Multiple- Family
Residential (Two Story)" as adopted has the following parameters:
The Low Density Affordable Multiple Family Residential (Two Story) future land use
map category is intended to be applied to development projects and properties providing
affordable multiple family housing units or affordable town home units in transitional
residential neighborhoods.
permitted heights, densities, and intensities shall be set forth as part of a corresponding
zoning use district in the Land Development Code subject to the following maximum
levels of development: maximum building height of two stories, and maximum residential
density of 20 units per acre.
For the purpose of this Future Land Use Map category all residential units shall be
limited to housing units which service the low to moderate income segment of the
affordable housing group as defined by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development.
The 1997 Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) recommended that the land use
category Low Density Multiple Family Residential (Two Story) be eliminated and that all
properties in that category be changed to a new category "Multiple Family Residential
(Four Story) ". The purpose of the change was to increase density (24 units per acre/ 4
stories) in order to encourage larger residential development projects.
In 2009 -2010 the City Commission expressed concerns that the type of development
encouraged by the Multiple Family Residential (Four Story) land use category and the
underlying zoning use district would not be compatible with the low density and two
story height limits of surrounding neighborhoods. It was agreed in a series of adopted
Resolutions in 2009 (see attached Resolution No. 205 -09- 13014) and in discussions at
meetings in 2010 that the land use category on specific properties would be modified.

Compatibility of Use: The proposed land use will assure that any future redevelopment
of the site will result in development which is compatible with the surrounding
community specifically the park area abutting on the north side and the low density
residential /commercial area (SW 62 Ave. Corridor) to the west.
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
has prepared a comparative chart demonstrating the projected impact on public facility
capacities of the subject land use change. This data report is attached. Based upon this
review the assignment of the new Future Land Use category will decrease the impact on
public facilities.
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 I 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.
HOUSING ELEMENT
Objective 1.3 The City and its Community Redevelopment Agency shall continue
to coordinate with public and private agencies to meet the
affordable housing needs of low and moderate income residents
through the implementation of specific programs, in accordance
with adopted plans.

The current zoning district on the property "RM -18" Low Density Multi- Family may
remain unchanged as its dimensional limitations (two story, 18 units per acre) will be
compatible with the new future land use map district.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the proposed Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM)
amendment from Multi - Family Residential (Four Story) to Low Density Affordable
Multiple - Family Residential (Two Story) for the Lee Park Condominium site be
approved.
