SUMMARY OF REQUEST The subject application is a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) amendment being initiated by the City (Local Planning Agency) at the request of the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA). Thirteen properties within the Madison Square development and under the ownership of the City of South Miami CRA, and are currently designated as Mixed use Commercial/Residential (Four Story). The remaining two parcels that are also a part of the development proposal are still designated as Single Family Residential (Two Story). The land use amendment is necessary to proceed with the development of this assemblage. 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 amendment is then forwarded to Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO), Division of Land Planning for review and comment. DEO 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 2001 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. LEGISLATIVE BACKGROUND The final adoption of the Comprehensive Plan Evaluation and Appraisal Report Based Text Amendments was first approved by the City in August 2007 and sent to the former Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). The document adopted in 2007 contained the proposed Future Land Use Category entitled "Neighborhood Center/Mixed Use District (Four Story)" which was to be used for the Madison Square project area. It proposed that the development allowed could have 60 units per acre, four stories and a 2.0 floor area ratio. The Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) in January 2008 did approve Evaluation and Appraisal Report Based Text Amendments with some minor changes and advised the City that it must adopt the report by ordinance on final second reading. The City Commission tried on several occasions in 2008-2009 to formally adopt the second reading ordinance for the amendments. The primary reason for the delay was a disagreement on the standards and applicability of the proposed Future Land Use Category "Neighborhood CenterlMixed Use District (Four Story)" to the Madison Square project area. The City Commission in July 2009 removed the proposed future land use category from its own Evaluation and Appraisal Report Based Text Amendments (Ord. No. 13-09-2005). In 2010 the Commission then proceeded to adopt the entire report (Ord. No. 09-10-2034). The Evaluation and Appraisal Report Based Text Amendments was found sufficient by the Florida Department of Community Affairs in June, 2010. On October 5, 2010 a "Mixed-Use Affordable Housing (Two Story)" category was adopted by the City Commission. On October 19, 2010 the Commission reviewed and adopted an ordinance applying this new map category to 13 parcels that are part of the Madison Square Development Project (Ord. 43-10-2068). These items were transmitted to the then Department of Community Affairs pursuant to Chapter 163, F.S. in November 2010 as a small scale amendment. On May 9, 2011 the City received a letter from the state that the amendment package failed to qualify as a small scale amendment pursuant to the requirements Chapter 163.3187(1)(c), F.S., and the City should rescind the Ordinance and resubmit during the next large scale amendment cycle. It is important to note that the Mixed Use Affordable Housing future land use category was never applied to the Madison Square project. In May 2011 the Local Planning Agency and the City Commission began reviewing a subsequent land use category "Mixed-Use Commercial/Residential (Two Story)". In November 2011 the Commission adopted and transmitted this new land future land use map category. This category has not been applied to any specific properties. The current future land use map designation for the original 13 Madison Square properties remains as "Mixed-U se Commercial/Residential (F our Story)". On April 24, 2012 the Planning Board acting in its capacity as the Local Planning Agency held a public hearing (PB-12-012) to discuss the proposal to change the land use designation of the two remaining single family residential lots making them consistent with the rest of the project land use of Mixed-Use Commercial Residential (Four Story). The debate on map change centered around the ultimate development proposal for Madison Square. The proposed map amendment for the two remaining parcels did not receive a majority recommendation; with 3 ayes and 3 nays. The Commission may recall there has been recent discussions at both the Planning Board and Commission to amend the comprehensive plan text and map categories, to possibly eliminate the reference to "stories" and replace them with density and floor area ratio (FAR) maximums. Staff is reviewing these potential changes. PROPOSED FUTURE LAND USE MAP AMENDMENT Mixed-Use Commercial/Residential (Four-Story) The mixed-use commercial/residential land use category is intended to provide for different levels of retail uses, office uses, retail and office services, and residential dwelling units with an emphasis on mixed-use development that is characteristic of traditional downtowns. Permitted heights and intensities shall be set forth in the Land Development Code. Regulations regarding the permitted height, density and intensity in zoning districts for areas designated as mixed-use commercial/residential shall provide incentives for transit-oriented development and mixed-use development. Zoning regulations shall reinforce "no widenings" policy set forth in the Transportation Element by encouraging use of MetroRail system. Pursuant to the recommendation by the Department of Community Affairs to include a Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.) in the Comprehensive Plan (as opposed to the provisions in the Land Development Code), the City adopts a F.A.R. of 1.6 for this land use category which is the existing F.A.R. in the Land Development Code for the corresponding zoning district. In addition, the City adopts a maximum residential density of 24 dwelling units per acre. In order to ensure a mix of uses, the City requires that a minimum of two of the above uses must be developed within this category. For residential projects, at a minimum, at least one floor must allow retail. For retail projects, at a minimum, at least one floor must contain residential or office. For office projects, at a minimum, at least one floor must contain residential or retail. SUMMARY OF THE MADISON SQUARE SITE The Madison Square site consists of fifteen (15) parcels, including the two (2) proposed FLUM amendments being presented for review, that were acquired by the Community Redevelopment Agency between 2006-2010. Currently, the project will be built on approxImately 1.44 acres (mol). The overall goal of the project is to provide a maximum number of housing units in a mixed use complex with compatible retail and office uses. c:::l ('.Iyn .. l~:-­ [] ('R<\i~fM) Parcels North South East West , ""lUg!..:.r ....

The proposed development area is separated from the properties to the north by SW 64 Street. The project abuts single family homes on the southern extent of the western development block, and a small commercial use in the north-east comer of that block. The project also abuts religious uses on the eastern block of properties that have a land use designation of Single Family Residential. Both blocks are also adjacent to other single family development and religious institutions, separated by public rights-of-way. 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.

Transportation The entire City is within a Transportation Concurrency Exemption Area Difference: Both have the same impact. Public Schools Miami-Dade schools facilities planning department calculates any proposed increase in multifamily dwelling units for school concurrency compliance. Compatible with Comprehensive Plan. LAND USE ELEMENT Objective 1.1 Policy 1.1.2 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 ...... . In reviewing proposed amendments to this plan and the Zoning Map, compatibility with adjacent uses shall be the major determinant. . HOUSING ELEMENT Objective 1.1 Objective 1.3 The City shall support public and private efforts to provide at least 100 additional housing units, and aspire for the creation of 200 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. 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 approval of the proposed Future Land Use Map amendment is a pre-requisite for the proposed Madison Square development. In addition, a future zoning district change will be required to facilitate the development project as proposed. The current zoning district of "NR" Neighborhood Retail does not allow residential development except as a Planned Unit Development -Residential (PUD-R). The current development proposal that includes the two blocks of property along SW 64th Street, does not have the minimum 2-acres (net) required by the City's Land Development Code to proceed as a PUD-R development. Existing residential development in the NR zoning district would be considered nonconforming. In October 2010 the City Commission approved a new companion zoning district entitled Mixed-Use Affordable Housing "MU-AH" (Ord. 34-10-2059) at 2-stories and 24 units per acre, that was proposed to be applied to the Madison Square project. Similar to the previously proposed land use amendment, this new zoning category was never applied to these properties or the zoning map, however it is a part of the current land development code Section 20-3.5(F). In the fall of 2011 the City Commission suggested that staff consider a three-story transitional zoning district that potentially could be applied to developments such as Madison Square. The Planning Department working with the City's planning consultant, developed a draft proposal for a new zoning district that was presented for preliminary review to the Board for consideration. The proposed zoning district is titled Neighborhood Mixed Use "NMU" (Three-Story) and reflects the requirements of the Mixed Use Commercial Residential (Four Story) future land use category. This proposed zoning category also received a preliminary review by the CRA Board, with a favorable response from those present. The proposed NMU zoning category is dependent on final review by the Planning Board, and review and approval by the City Commission. OPTIONS A land use amendment is required to address the two remaining parcels needed to implement the Madison Square project, as proposed. It is recommended that the proposed Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM) be amended from the Single Family Residential category to Mixed Use-CommerciallResidential category for the properties listed in the attached ordinance. In order to facilitate the development of residential as a part of this project, FLUM amendment will have to be followed by the adoption and application of an appropriate zoning category to replace the current NR -Neighborhood Retail; i.e. the proposed NMU -neighborhood mixed use (three story), the MU-AH -mixed use affordable housing (two story), or the SR -specialty retail.

SUMMARY OF REQUEST At the request of the City Commission and the CRA Board, staff was asked to look at the potential for establishing a three-story transitional zoning district that could act as a buffer between two-story single family residential development and four-story uses, with the proviso that the structure tapers to two-stories adjacent to single family residential. BACKGROUND The City is currently processing land use amendments for two (2) additional parcels in the Madison Square Area with Mixed Use Commercial/Residential (Four-Story) land use in order to match the land use of the remaining Area lands that are part of the Madison Square Development Project. If these land use amendments are approved, the Madison Square site will be complete from a land use perspective with the Mixed Use Commercial/Residential (Four Story) designation throughout. The Madison Square Project has been proposed within the City's Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) for many years, but for a myriad of reasons has not yet developed. A local urban design firm was retained last year to evaluate various development scenarios and a series of community workshops were held to obtain public feedback. The most recent was Workshop #4 in August, 2011 where three (3) development scenarios were discussed. The scenarios ranged in residential density from 46 to 92 dwelling units. All options had relatively modest amounts of retail space. The current zoning of most of the Madison Square parcels is Neighborhood Retail (NR). Residential uses in the NR district are not permitted except as a Special Use under the PUD-R regulations. However PUD-R sites must be a minimum of two (2) net acres in size. The total size of Madison Square is approximately 1.44 acres, and thus does meet the size requirement. As noted above, the primary use in the workshop scenarios was residential. In addition, PUD-R restricts the floor area of retail and service uses to no more than 10% of the total residential floor area on the site, provided the project has at least 75 dwelling units. It is entirely possible that Madison Square will have less than 75 units. Lastly, NR only allows 2 story buildings and the workshop scenarios envisioned 3 story structures. In order to address this zoning obstacle, the Planning Department working wi~h the City's planning consultant (lIer Planning), is proposing the adoption of a new zoning district entitled "Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU)." This new district would not only address the needs of Madison Square but also other potential tracts city-wide near residential areas. The proposed development parameters of this new district are provided below. PROPOSED NEIGHBORHOOD MIXED USE (NMID DISTRICT Purpose: The purpose of this district is to allow a tract ofland to be developed with a mix of uses under single ownership or unified control. Proposed NMU development must be compatible with surrounding neighborhoods. This district is appropriate in areas designated mixed use commercial/residential on the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan. Permitted Uses: Residential, specialty retail, office and personal services. Non-Residential Uses: Limited to no more than 25% of total floor area. Maximum Density: 24 dwelling units per net acre. Minimum Lot Size: One (1) net acre. Minimum Lot Frontage: 150 feet. Minimum Front Setback: 50 feet. Minimum Side Setback: 30 feet. Maximum Building Height: 3 stories, not exceeding 37.5 feet. Maximum Impervious Coverage: 80%. Maximum Floor Area Ratio: 0.70. Unity of Title: Required. Location: Frontage on a half-section or section line roadway. Properties Abutting Single-Family Zoning Districts. (1) Notwithstanding the dimensional requirements of the zoning use district in which a property is located, if that property is abutting (common border or separated by a right-of-way) to a single- family zoning district the maximum height of any new building or any vertical addition to an PB 12-013 Page 2 existing building on that property is limited to two stories, however, additional height may be obtained via the special use permit process as set forth in Section 20-5.8 . (2) Properties or projects constructed under a city approved Planned Unit Development Site Plan or projects subject to Development Agreements during the period that the Agreement is in effect, shall not be subject to the provisions of this section. In no case shall a project be rebuilt which exceeds the height, setback or density that was set forth in the Development Agreement or applicable Planned Unit Development Site Plan. (3) Properties presently existing and actually built on the effective date of this ordinance shall be grandfathered in and exempted from the provisions of this section and allowed to be rebuilt to the same height if they are destroyed by an act of God or other natural disaster. SUMMARY The City has a need for a mixed use district which will permit compatible, low-intensity development near and within single family areas. Current code districts allowing mixed use projects have many restrictions which are very difficult for most eligible sites meet. The key is to ensure that any mixed use development proximate to neighborhoods is an asset which enables greater convenience and opportunities for walking and biking to meet employment and personal needs. . RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Planning Board approve the proposed NMU zoning district concept. The Planning Department will then prepare the necessary Ordinance amendments for Board review and recommendation, and City Commission review and approval.

This year, the city is "very close to coming to break-even" and even have "some little savings." He said he had some concerns for next year. For the first time in the history of South Miami, the police department's cost is greater than the general fund revenues from property taxes, he said. ferred to him, Police Chief Orlando Martinez de Castro and Newman, who are all of Cuban heritage, as the "Cu- ban Mafia." "It is illegal in this country to discriminate on the basis of race, creed, sexual orien- tation or national origin," Mirabile said in the letter. Beckman said she was not discriminating against Mi- rabile and said that she likes Cubans. Stoddard disap- proved of Mirabile's letter and presented a response. In his letter addressed to Mira- bile, he said that his allega- tions of "hate crime" and "conspiracy" were extreme and inaccurate. "Conspiracy means that people are agreeing to com- mit a crime. No one has committed a crime here," Stoddard said. "In a demo- ing this week. Welsh said Newman and Mirabile's accusations lack weight. He has expressed publicly and in one of the flyers he hands out to city residents that he doesn't think Mirabile and Martinez de Castro have the city's best interest at heart.

Under the cur- rent city manager form of government, the chief fman- cia! officer and the police chief report to the city man- ager. Welsh's proposal would permanently give the commission more power over both offices. "We are the body that hears what the people want," Welsh said. "We want to make sure that the city's purchasing is being done properly and is getting a good price." The commission as a whole wasn't convinced. Liebman said commission- ers were not equipped to manager, fIre him for cause, or if not, fIre him for no cause," Mirabile said at a meeting. Welsh said he disagreed with Mirabile, and he is de- termined to push for "pro- gressive change." Stoddard is open to the "experiment." "If the conurusslOn had agreed to do it, then there would be a proposal that would be put on the Novem- ber ballot," Stoddard ex- plained.
