Applicant: City of South Miami
An Ordinance of the City of South Miami, Florida, amending the City of South
Miami Comprehensive Plan to adopt a new future land use map category titled
"Hospital"
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
A Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use text amendment was initiated at a workshop
held by the City Commission on April 12, 2011. At the workshop, it was decided to
adopt a new future land use map category titled "Hospital! Clinic (Two-Story)."
On April 26, 2011 the Local Planning Agency (LP A) after public hearing, adopted a
motion by a vote of 4 ayes and 2 nays (Yanoshik and Dundorf) recommending denial of
the category titled "Hospital! Clinic (Two-Story)." The LPA provided the following
reasons for their denial: some clinics are not open 24 hours a day as are hospitals; and
that there is no category to take into consideration the existing two hospitals in the City of
South Miami that have in excess of four stories.
On May 3, 2011 the City Commission after public hearing, adopted a motion to withdraw
the new future land use map category titled "Hospital! Clinic (Two-Story)." One of the
problems is having hospitals and clinics within the same category. The discussion
evolved on the subject pertaining to the number of stories that would be allowed and are
suitable for this category, four stories or higher. Also, a land use category titled "Hospital
! Office" was in the Comprehensive Plan language until 1997. After discussion from the
Commission, the Planning and Zoning Department was instructed to draft a new future
land use map category fOT hospital that would satisfy the City'S zoning guidelines and the
item was sent back to the drawing board.
On June 21, 20ll the Local Planning Agency (LPA) after a public hearing, adopted a
motion by a vote of 5 ayes and 1 nay (Dundorf) recommending approval of the category
titled "Hospital" without a "story" designation. After a brief presentation by a member of
the public and considerable discussion between staff and the Board, it was felt that by
creating a Two or Four Story limitation on the category where there already exists two
facilities in excess of four stories, would unnecessarily create a non-conforming situation.
The Board felt that the category would be better ·defined as being consistent with heights
2
and intensities of the surrounding uses and with the underlying zoning dimensional
requirements.
The City Commission at its July 19, 2011 meeting passed on first reading, a new future
land use map category for "Hospital"; the proposal passed by a vote of 4-0. This proposed
amendment was transmitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and
respective agencies pursuant to Section 163.3184 (2) and (3), Florida Statutes, as part of
an amendment package designated 11-1ESR. 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 heen amended with language received from the
State, to reflect statutory requirements for expedited reviews. As previously noted, the
backup comments from the DCA and respective agencies for the amendment package Il-
l ESR are attached to the first ordinance.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT: GENERAL INFORMATION (FROM
MAY 3 & JULY 19, 2011)
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. For additional
information on the process, please refer to line item #12 of the attached Comprehensive
Plan2010 Cycle 2 Chart.
LAND USE MAP AND RELATED POLICIES AND THE REASONS ONWHICH
THEY ARE BASED
"Hospital Expansion: South Mifulli is home to South Miami Hospital and Larkin
Hospital. These facilities should be able to function and develop. However, new
development should not encroach upon or choke the city's small town character or overall
husiness enviromnent. This pla.'l provides a hospitah'offiee designation for areas where
existing hospitals are located. The hospital/office category provides for use of hospital
areas for office faeilities should hospital operations be discontinued. Office intensities
should be appropriate to surrounding uses. Modification of development plans within the
limit of the current planned unit development area and adjacent mixed-use areas is
consistent with this comprehensive plan provided that inteBSity of use is not increased
and provided that negative impacts on the surrounding adjacent neighborhoods are not
increased. Editor's Modification pursuant to Amendment Package DCA No.97-1ER,
adopted on August 19, 1997. " [Element 1, page6}
The Comprehensive Plan, the land use category titled "Hospital/Office (Four Story)" was
removed in 1997. The language that was removed reads as follows:
3
"HaSIJitaYOfHee (Fool' Stery)
The hospital/office land use outegor".. is intended to permit development of hospital
facilities. Zolling regulatiol'ls that implement this land use category could pel'll.it hospital
uses by right, as special uses or as planRecl developments. The hospital/office category is
also intended to permit office uses at appropriate intensities in the event that hospital uses
are terminatecl. (97-lER)"
Significant Parking Facilities
"Figure. 1 located in Appendix I-A of DCA Amendment No. 97-1ER shows the
significant public parking facilities located throughout the City of South Miami. These
facilities include the public park-and-ride garage located at the South Miami Metrorail
transit station, South Miami Hospital, City Hall, Shops at Sunset Place, schools, parks
and recreational areas. There are also two areas in downtown South Miami located
between SW 59th Avenue and SW 57th Court along SW 73th street and SW 74th street
which has long term meter, 5 hour, street parking. Map Series in 97-1 ER Appendix i-A. "
[Element 2, page 40]
Major Public Transit Trip Generators and Attractors Based upon the Existing
Land Use Map
"As shown in Figure 3 located in Appendix I-A of DCA Amendment No. 97-IER,
existing major traffic/trip generators and attractors are located throughout the City of
South Miami. But for the most part, the. majority of them are concentrated in the
downtown area. For presentation purposes, these major generators and attractors have
been categorized as: government centers, hospitals/medical complexes shopping
centers/major retail areas, attractions/cultural facilities, parks/recreational areas,
and employment centers. Within the City of South Miami they are: South Miami
Hospital, Shops at Sunset Place, Ludlam Elementary School, South Miami Elementary,
Fairchild Elementary, City Hall, Dante Fascell Park, Fuch's Park, Marshall
Williamson Park, Murray Park, the y'M.C.A., the Metrorail transit station, and the
downtown area's retail shops. See Map Series in 97-IER Appendix I-A."
[Element 2, page 40]
Neighborhood Traffic Management
"A local area traffic management program will be implemented. The intent of the
program will be to minimize non-local traffic on local streets. The program will
include traffic volume counts on selected local streets. Origin-destination surveys
may be initiated depending. on the traffic count results. Local streets will be
prioritized for local area traffic management implementation techniques.
Implementation techniques will include passive (non-physical) techrlques and physical
controls. Passive techniqujls will include: stop signs, speed limits, tum prohibitions, one-
way streets, no entry signs, neighborhood signs and aggressive enforcement. Physical
controls could include: street bumps, rumble strips, chokers, entrance gates, narrowing
streets and cul-de-sacs .. CuI-de-sacs, street diverters and other physical controls will
be us.ed in a very sparing way, if at all. They will not be used in a way which isolates
4
significant residential areas from important destinations such as the Sout..h Miami
Hospital and the Sunset commercial area."
[Element 2, page 56}
"There are no industrial uses in South Miami. Of the 2,000,000 gallons per day of.
consumption, less than one third is generated by other non-residential uses such as
commercial and hospitals."
[Element 5, page 118}
As per the Definitions, Section 20-2.3 of the Land Development Code, a Accessory
building, Accessory medical services, and Nonresidential district are defined as follows:
Accessory building. Shall mean a detached subordinate building or portion thereof,
the use of which is incidental to and in connection with a principal or main building which
is located on the same lot. No accessory building shall be' permitted which is not located in
conjunction with a principal or main building.
Accessory medical services. Shall mean only those servi,ces that are not already
provided by the hospital facility which is for the sole use of the hospital staff and patients.
Such uses may be housed in a trailer unit where parking is provided in excess of that
required for the specially permitted hospital use and where additional parking is also
provided for the trailer unit. (Ord. No. 2-91-1467, 1-15-91)
Distric4 nonresidential. Shall mean any district designated for office, business, intensive,
hospital or public purposes pursuant to t.'lls Code.
As per the Definitions, Section 20-2.3 of the Land Development Code, a hospital is
defined as follows:
"Hospital. Shall mean a building, or group of buildings, having room facilities for one (1)
or more overnight patients, used for providing services for the in-patient medical or surgical
care of sick or injured humans, and which may include related facilities such as
laboratories, out-patient departments, training facilities, central service facilities, and staff
offices; provided, however, that such related facility must be incidental and subordinate to
the main use and must be an integral part of the hospital operations."
Also, both the Webster's Seventh New Collegiate Dictionary as well as the website for
Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines hospital as follows:
"Hospital. An institution where the sick or injured are given medical or surgical
care. "
The Webster's Seventh New ColIegiate Dictionary as well as the website for Merriam-
Webster Dictionary define clinic as fcOllows:

(27) "E' Hospital District: The purpose of this district is to permit, as a special use,
areas that will accommodate various hospital needs ill a manner compatible with
nearby residential areas. The district also permits office uses at appropriate intensities
in the event that hospital uses are terminated a.'1.d is appropriate in areas
designated "Hospital/ Office" on the city's adopted Comprehensive Pisn. The unique
nature of hospital usage and its quickly changing needs and characteristics makes their
proper regulation under ordina.ry zoning regulations difficult. Hospitals located near
residential areas are both an asset in terms of jobs and services provided and a
liability in terms of traffic generated and their propensity to expand. It is the intent of
this district to establish stable land use patterns in hospital areas upon which local
residents and hospitals can both rely.

Simple tips to prevent
fraud on the Internet
BY CARMEN GONZALEZ
CALDWELL
Special to The Miami Herald
O ctober is National
Crime Prevention
month, and this
week I want to share with
you information being
provided by our Miami FBI
office, 1bis is a real eye--
opener, and we thank the
FBI for keeping us inM
formed and giving us the
ability to help stop fraud in
its tracks.
In 2010, Floridians flled
almost 20,000 complaints
and suffered $37 million in
losses through fraudulent
activities on the Internet.
For the past eight years, the
FBI has designated October
as National Cyber Security
Awareness Month to high~
light the importance of
protecting our cyber net-
works. The FBI leads the
national effort to investi-
gate Internet criminal ac-
tivity, called cyber crime.
including cyber-terrorism,
computer intrusion, online
sexual exploitation and
major cyberfrauds, This
colunm focuses on cyber
frauds.
Internet criminals seek
to defraud victims through
a variety of schemes. The
more commonly used
methods include auction
fraud, credit card fraud,
identity theft, phishing
attacks and holiday/charity
scams. Here are a couple of
examples of these scams:
• In auction fraud, In-
ternet criminals post classi-
fied ads and auction an-
nouncements for products
they do not have and rip off
buyers by
creative use
of stolen
credit cards.
Fraudsters
receive a
victim's
order;
charge the
victim's
credit card
for the amount of the order,
then use a separate, stolen
credit card for the actual
purchase, They pocket the
purchase price obtained
from the victim's credit
card and have the mer~
chant ship the item directly
to the victim. Consequent-
ly, an item purchased from
an online auction, but re-
ceived directly from the
merchant, is a strong in~
dication of fraud. Victims
not only lose the money
paid to the fraudster, but
may be liable for receiving
stolen goods.
• In phishing schemes, a
fraudster poses as a bank
or other legitimate entity
and uses emails and scam
websites to obtam a vic-
tim's personal information,
such as bank account num-
bers and Social Security
account information. In
this scam, fraudsters direct
victims to follow a link or
call a number to update an
account or correct an al~
leged problem. The link
directs the victim to a
fraudulent website that
appears legitimate. Instead,
the site allows the fraudster
to steal the victim's person~
al information. Bottom line,
only go to the official web--
site to check accounts and
be leery of emails claiming
there is a problem with
your fmancia1 accounts.
There are several web-
sites that provide informa-
tion about the myriad In-
ternet scams in use today.
The website W\vw.looks
toogoodtobetrue.com was
latulched in October 2005
by the FBI, US. Postal
Service and several com~
mercial partners to educate
and help protect consum~
ers against Internet crimes.
Additionally, the Internet
Crimes Complaint Center
website, www.ic3.gov. is the
best location to make a
complaint about Internet
fraud, If you think. you are a
victim of an Internet crime,
go to the IC3 website to
register your complaint.
By taking the time to
educate yourself about
Internet scams and taking
prudent precautions, you
can benefit from the In-
ternet without becoming a
victim. Supervisory Special
Agent Raymond T. Goer~
gen leads the Computer
Intrusion Squad in the
FBI's Miami field office.
