18To: Via: From: Date: Subject South Miami CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM The Honorable Mayor Stoddard and Members of the City Commission Hector Mirabile, Ph.D., City Manager //" / bOd ifiiP 2001 Christopher Brimo, AIC~n {/ I' 1 Planning Director ~ I I t7 March 20, 2012 ITEM NO.~ An Ordinance to amend the City of South Miami's official zoning map so as to change the zoning use district of the property generally located at 6101 Sunset Drive from Transit Oriented Development District Mixed Use 4 (TODD MU-4), to the Transit Oriented Development District Mixed Use 5 (TODD MU-5) zoning district. BACKGROUND The subject rezoning request is an application submitted by Metro South Senior Apartments Limited Partnership. The property involved is 6,700 square foot rear portion of the site that comprises 6101 Sunset Drive, Folio #09-4025-011-0100. The applicant with authorization from the property owner, is seeking to change the zoning use district on that rear portion of the property from "TODD (MU-4)" Transit Oriented Development District (Mixed Use-4) to "TODD (MU-5)" Transit Oriented Development District (Mixed Use-5). The purpose of the request is to allow future development of the site as a ninety-one (91) unit senior (affordable) residential multi-family building, with proposed commerciallretail on the ground floor. The TODD (MU-4) existing zoning district permits residential development, however, buildings are limited to a maximum two story height. The TODD (MU-5) zoning district also permits residential development and the maximum height limitation is four stories, however, with bonuses buildings can be eight stories in height. The current TODD MU-4 zoning boundary bisects all the properties along that block ( Figure1), and separates the TODD MU-5 district from the Medium Intensity Office (MO) district to the rear. The designation of the this area as TODD MU-4 is somewhat unusual since the it is limited to two-stories, while the MO district to the rear allows four-stories and the TODD MU-5 along Sunset Drive allows four- stories with provisions for up to four additional bonus stories. From a planning standpoint, having a 2- story district surrounded on all sides by a 4-story and a 4+4-story district is not desirable. Figure 1 Folio #09-4025-011-0100 6101 Sunset Drive Parking policy is also an important element of transit-oriented development (TOD). It helps shape travel behavior, community design, and development economics; it can improve the performance of both transit and TOD. One of the limiting factors for developments within the City's TOD District is the requirements for parking. The current parking standard requires two (2) spaces for each residential unit and a third space for every tenth unit to accommodate visitor parking. This standard is somewhat excessive based on national standards, which typically requires 1 to 1.5 parking spaces per residential unit within transit districts. Additionally, the bonus allocations for additional floors within the TODD MU-5 does not require the provision of commercial/retail on the ground floor (Figure 2). Based on the preliminary design of the project and statements made by the applicant at the February 28, 2011 Planning Board Public Hearing, the rezoning request is to facilitate the construction of an additional parking level to allow for the development of commercial on the first floor of the proposed development, and to potentially allow them to design the units a little larger. The "Draft" Planning Board minutes are attached for reference. Figure 2 20-8 10 -Bonus allocations Action Bonus For everyone (1) floor of residential use One (1) additional floor of residential use with the minimum parking requirement (two (2) cars per residential use) Public plaza-min. five thousand (5,000) sq. ft. and art work in One (1) additional floor plaza setting Develop full frontage with street design as part of pedestrian One (1) additional floor walkway system Develop "cross-thru's" from street to public open space as part One (1) additional floor of pedestrian walk-system, on owner's property (maintenance required in Section 20-8.15 For those properties that back up to public open space or easement. Buildings may be built in rear to within five (5) feet of rear property or easement line. RECENT HISTORY OF THE SITE The total site area is 25,431 sq. ft. (0.583 acres) and consists of three rectangular lots, which are located on corner of SW 72 Street (Sunset Drive) and SW 61 Avenue. The property is currently accessible from SW 61 Avenue. The site currently has a commercial structure that has remained vacant since its last renovation in 2008. The site has been occupied in the past by various commercial/retail uses including a bank. During the past few years there have been several proposals for using the property including selling or leasing it for development. The most recent proposal submitted to the Planning Department for conceptual review in June of 2011, is a ninety-one (91) unit senior residential multi-family building specifically targeted as an affordable housing project. A special exception application was filed on July 27, 2011 by the applicant for preliminary/conceptual site plan review by the Planning Board before submittal to the City Commission. It was the applicant's intention to apply for the 2011 Universal Cycle tax credits for this proposed development, and therefore they decided to withdraw their City application for development until such time as the statewide project rankings for these credits were available. HOUSING PROPOSAL The Planning Department was approached by the Beneficial Communities and the property owner in June 2011 with a proposal to construct 91 units of affordable multi-family senior housing units with 182 parking spaces, at the site located at 6101 Sunset Drive. The developer indicated that a project of this nature could receive government financial incentives to build at this location. The program involved is the awarding by the State of Florida of federal income tax credits to affordable housing projects. The sale/transfer of these tax credits can bring in expanded investment in the development and allow for quality development of affordable housing units. The award criteria of the housing tax credit in this year is to emphasize locations near rapid transit stations and other public service facilities. A number of sites in the City's TODD zoning district were considered by developers of affordable housing projects because of the housing tax credit program. The deadline for submission was the fall of 2011, and was then extended to December 2011. SITE LOCATION ANALYSIS (Folio #09-4025-011-0100) Parcels Comprehensive Plan Existing Land Use Category North TODD East TODD South TODD West TODD VICINITY MAP SITE LOCATION 6101 Sunset Drive Land Development Code Existing Zoning District TODD (MU-4); MO TODD (MU-4); TODD (MU-5) TODD (MU-5); TODD (PI) TODD (MU-4); TODD (MU-5) Actual Use Parking Garage Bank City Hall; and Gas Station Medical Office PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The first proposal submitted to the Planning Department for conceptual review was in June of2011, for a ninety-one (91) unit senior residential multi-family building with 182 parking spaces, specifically targeted as an affordable housing project. It is important to note that one of the stated objectives in the TODD zoning district (LDC Sec. 20-8.1) is to encourage "a mix of high density" uses. The following is taken from the applicant's application for rezoning. Our intent in rezoning the MU-4 portion of our site to MU-5 is 31'old: First, based on the preliminary plan we have 95% of our parking on site. Our intent is to add an additional floor to the parking deck, in order to meet the required 2 spaces/unit while still retaining them on site. Additionally, our preliminary design has the units at the minimum square footage required by the LDe. The rezone would allow us the ability to create more sizable 1 and 2 bedroom units which would be more in line with current market demand. Lastly, we are considering adding a commercial food vendor to create a mixed use project. This would in turn increase the need for more parking. We believe this addition will fit well into the pedestrian oriented streetscape, which already exists but lacks commercial facilities to draw activity. In addition while benefiting the local neighborhood the commercial space will provide local jobs both directly and indirectly. The most recent proposal was submitted on March 6, 2012, for a 91-unit senior affordable multifamily building, with 182 parking spaces and potentially having commercial space on the ground floor. If commercial is developed under the current parking standards, additional parking will be required. A copy of the proposed elevations and site area is attached for your reference. Staff has not completed its review of this most recent proposal. COMPATIBILITY Compatibility of Use: The development site is surrounded by office, commercial, medical and public/institutional uses. The site is approximately one block from the Metrorail transit station and the US post office. It is within walking distance of a community center, a senior citizen center, a library and an urban downtown. The property also is located within 1,500 feet from existing high density residential developments .The existing future land use map category (TODD) and the underlying zoning district both allow for residential and commercial uses at a high density. Public Facilities: The developer for the project will be responsible for assuring that public infrastructure serving the site will be sufficient. For purposes of this report, presented below is a summary of public facility issues: Parks / Recreation Concurrency The developer will be required to provide a concurrency fee to the City for the impact on park and recreational acreage. Based upon the City'S current Level of Service standard (Recreation/Open Space Element; Objective 1.1 -four acres for every 1000 population) a residential development the size of this project would be assessed a fee approximately equal to purchase a tract of land in South Miami in compliance with the Level of Service requirement (LDC Sec.20-4.1 (D). It is important to note that the LDC also allows the City to consider allocating surplus recreational capacity to a developer of affordable housing. The City currently has surplus recreational capacity (acreage). A developer would have to obtain a "A Certificate of Capacity Reservation", which would avoid the fee payment for a one acre tract of land. This requires a separate application made to the Planning and Zoning Department and an approval by the City Commission after a public hearing (LDC Sec. 20-4.1 (F). Schools Impact The selected developer will be required to contact the Miami-Dade School District in order to allow for the school system to access their impact fee (if applicable). Wastewater (Sewer) The selected developer will be required to contact the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department to determine if current Sewer Lift Station No.177 will allow for sewer connection at the time of construction. Transportation/Traffic A development in this area of the City is not subject to transportation concurrency. Most of the City of South Miami is within the County established Transportation Concurrency Exception Area. It will be very important that the selected developer be required to provide a traffic analysis for the project. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. The proposed development is compatible with and advances the goals and objectives contained in the City's Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment is consistent with and supports the following City objective: HOUSING ELEMENT Goal 1 Objective 1.1 To assure the availability of sound and affordable housing for all current and future residents of the City of South Miami with special focus on infill and redevelopment and to include housing units in the Hometown District. It is recognized that the choice of location rests with the individual and that the City's role is to implement policies that expand choices. The City shall support public and private efforts to provide at least 100 additional housing units, and aspire for the creation of200 additional units, by 2015. Additionally, the City shall seek to provide an adequate supply of housing units that are affordable to households of all incomes, including the middle income sector, in proportions that are reflective of housing demands and needs in residential projects and communities. STAFF OBSERVATIONS 1. Because of its location fronting Sunset Drive and the City Hall Complex, the site plan review process will pay particular attention to architectural design and detail, building orientation, ingress and egress, pedestrian access, landscaping and screening treatments for the garage structure. 2. The development implements goals and objectives of the City's Comprehensive Plan pertaining to affordable housing. 3. The location is in close proximity to rapid transit, a post office, library, the community center, the senior cItIzens center, and the City's downtown, all of which are essential services for affordable housing tenants and senior citizen tenants. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the approval of the rezoning request as presented from MU-4 to MU-S.

January 27 th , 2012 City of South Miami Planning & Zoning Department City Hall 6130 Sunset Drive South Miami, FL 33143 RE: INTENT REZONE Based on our preliminary design for a 91 unit senior apartment complex, we were able to retain over 95% of the required parking spaces on site. Additionally, our unity design meets the minimum square footage requirements as set forth by the Land Development Code (LDC). Our intent in rezoning the MU-4 portion of our site to MU-5 is 3-fold: First, based on the preliminary plan we have 95% of our parking on site. Our intent is to add an additional floor to the parking deck, in order to meet the required 2 spaces/unit while still retaining them on site. Additionally, our preliminary design has the units at the minimum square footage required by the LDC. The rezone would allow us the ability to create more sizable 1 and 2 bedroom units which would be more in line with current market demand. Lastly, we are considering adding a commercial food vendor to create a mixed use project. This would in tum increase the need for more parking. We believe this addition will fit well into the pedestrian oriented streetscape, which already exists but lacks commercial facilities to draw activity. In addition while benefiting the local neighborhood the commercial space will provide local jobs both directly and indirectly. We look forward to your support and if we can provide any additional infonnation for your consideration on this matter, please do not hesitate to call.

Z:\PB\PB Minutes\2012 Minutes\February\PB Meeting Minutes -02-28-12-Excerpt-12-005.doc Page 1 of6 Applicant: Metro South Senior Apartments Limited Partnership Mr. Brimo read the item into the record. Mrs. Beckman stated asked for clarification of the lot. Mr. Brimo responded that the lot is the one with the old bank drive-thru on it, the on that backs right up to the existing parking garage. Mrs. Beckman then stated that from the report it seems that it is fronting Sunset but its not it is fronting 61 st Street. Mr. Brimo responded that the access to the project will be on 61 st the building wraps at the corner of 61 st Street and Sunset Drive. Mr. Dundorf stated that there seems to be a an awful lot of parking within the TODD he thought the whole idea of TODD was to have less parking because of this project being located in the transit district, are the parking requirements there in the TODD the same as the rest of the City of South Miami. Mr. Brimo responded yes sir, traditionally the TODD districts have a parking maximum but this particular TODD district does not account for that. Dr. Whitman stated that he noticed that there are staff observations in the report but there are no staff recommendations. Mr. Brimo responded that he held on the recommendations only because he was contemplating the whether the Board wanted to consider a line adjustment of the whole block for rezoning. Mr. Vitalini stated is there any other vehicle that they can use thru a variance to obtain relief from the parking requirements or are there specific conditions. Mr. Brimo responded that the code does provide variance relief from a specific number of things six or eight items and parking is one of the items that you can get relief from if it is approved. Dr. Philips stated that on this MU4 isn't the building on the very far east there the Mexican Consulate is well over two stories in height.. Mr. Brimo responded that the Mexican Consulate is one block over on 59 th Place, it's on the same street as the Post Office the building that is directly to the east is the Bank United building, the bike store , a medical office and the Mexican Consulate sits in from the medical offices. Dr. Whitman asked Mr. Pepe if people need to be sworn in here. Mr. Pepe responded that he was looking at the code in regards to rezoning and he did not see anything in there that said that it is. Mr. Pepe then asked Mr. Brimo if this is another recommendation but if a final decision is not being made then it's not required. Dr. Whitman suggested that we swear in persons that will testimony due to the fact that recommendations will be made from this item. Mr. Pepe swore in people in the audience that will be giving testimonies on this proposal. The Chairman opened the Public Hearing. NAME Disan Peric ADDRESS 6101 Sunset Dr. SUPPORT/OPPOSE Support Mr. Peric is the applicant for this item; he is part of the development team from Metro South Senior Apartments. He stated that he will be discussing the rezoning of a small portion of the proposed site located at 6101 Sunset Drive from TODD MU4 to an MUS.

He stated that the reasons for rezoning are three-fold which are to able to provide units to the residents that meet the current market demands, to be able to provide parking that will be less burdensome to the residents, and the commercial food vendor which will draw foot traffic to pedestrian oriented streetscape to benefit the community. Mrs. Beckman asked the applicant if he was the owner of Beneficial Communities and how does the structuring of all this work, did Cal Rosenbaum hire you to develop the property. NAME John Luther ADDRESS 6101 Sunset Dr. SUPPORT/OPPOSE Support Mr. John Luther stated that he is the Director of Development for Beneficial Communities and Daniel Paxton is the owner of Beneficial Communities which is the parent company and we are purchasing this property from Cal Rosenbaum with the intent to develop it as we have stated. Dr. Whitman stated are these 91 units' condos or rentals. The applicant responded that these are rental apartments which will be managed and owned by us for a minimum of thirty years. Dr. Whitman then stated if they didn't get the rezoning on this that they could still make a project work, but it would be 100 percent residents with no retail down on the first floor. Mr. Peric responded that yes he believes that it would be very difficult to fit the commercial component in there without the rezoning being approved. Mrs. Yanoshik stated that you need mixed uses to get the bonuses. Dr. Whitman stated height bonuses, that you get one bonus for each floor of residential use and one for an arcade. Mr. Brimo then read into the record Pursuant to Section 20-8.1 of the Land Development Code: 20-8.10 -Bonus allocations.

No. 30-08-1965, § 4, 8-5-08) Mrs. Yanoshik stated her concern of the amount the city taxes and the possibility of eviction for the senior residents. The applicant responded that he does not know the tax amount and as far as the eviction rate of twenty percent he is not sure of that, now does it happen occasionally yes but being that he owns and will operate this building there is no way that they are going to just let people stack their belongings on the front of the property. Mrs. Yanoshik then stated her request of a listing of properties that he owns in Miami-Dade County. Mr. Luther responded that he owns properties in Pennsylvania, along the east coast and throughout the state of Florida however none in Miami-Dade this will be the first venture in the county. Mr. Dundorf asked how many floors are anticipated that will need to be built. The applicant responded about that he believes that three stories will max out the parking because it integrates into the building. NAME Sharon McCain ADDRESS SUPPORT/OPPOSE Support She stated that she supports this proposal wholeheartedly. She asked the applicant what is the age requirement to be considered a senior. The applicant responded the age starts at 55. She then stated that the problem is that we need to work together as a community and it seems that the City of South Miami is really two cities one east of US 1 and one west of US 1, we need to get something on the west side of US 1. NAME ADDRESS SUPPORT/OPPOSE Ed Barroso 6141 Sunset Drive Z:\PB\PB Minutes\2012 Minutes\February\PB Meeting Minutes -02-28-12-Excerpt-12-005.doc Page 4 of6 He stated that although he is not adverse to a senior apartment living however; his issue is the parking. He then stated that there is already an existing parking problem at his place of work which is adjacent to this property. He asked that the Board consider the process of accreditation and the possibility of losing the accreditation, if this is basically an opportunity to build a high density rental property that's going to eventually become another low-income apartment building next to our property. The Chairman Closed the Public Hearing. Mrs. Yanoshik stated that the other buildings that she looked at have vey low assessments that they looking at three million dollars in assessed value times the ad valorem rate it comes to about eight to fifteen thousand dollars in city revenue and she said that these building need to be subsidized by everyone else. Mrs. Beckman stated that this is the CRA district and fifty percent goes back to the CRA off the tiff if there is any tiff. Dr. Whitman then confirmed that fifty percent is correct. Mrs. Beckman stated that she feels that South Miami is a magnet for poverty incorporated and she would like to side with the doctor in building something beautiful there for the working class for people that can buy a condo. Mr. Brimo stated that whether or not the rezoning application is approved does not guarantee that the project will be approved when it comes forward; any project that is going for any bonuses on this site will still have to go before the Board. He then stated that there will still be analysis done and Board will still make a recommendation to the commission on the development proposal and then the commission will then make their decision. Dr. Philips stated why the CRA seniors can't move into it the development. Mrs. Beckman stated that they already have homes. Dr. Philips then stated that a number of the housing projects are going to have to be demolished because they are not going to pass inspection in a few years. Mrs. Beckman stated according to the census how many affordable housing units they have to have. Dr. Philips responded that as people go on social security and social security does not climb at the rate of the economy there are going to be more and more people that will need affordable housing. Dr. Philips then stated that these are people that she has spoken to that are considering that they may have to sell their homes as they get older and can no longer afford to maintain their homes. She also stated thinks that it's interesting that the City of South Miami has the objectives to create more affordable housing and this will fulfill one of the objectives. She then stated she doesn't see any problem with allowing them to build additional area there all the buildings around them are that height. Mrs. Beckman stated that she would like to see a needs assessment, reconciliation with concurrency, traffic and the green space. Mrs. Yanoshik then stated that if this rezoning is approved would this open up allegations to other developers. Mr. Brimo responded that when he reviewed the analysis for the TODD district all three TODD zones were allocated bonuses should they meet certain conditions. Somewhere along the way things changed. Mr. Vitalini stated that he does not find the rationale for the change of zoning. Dr. Whitman stated that the he can't think of a good reason to turn it down, he feels that it is beneficial to the City of South Miami with the retail being situated on the street level.
