SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The subject application is a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map amendment that
was originally initiated at a workshop held by the City Commission on April 12,2011. At
the workshop, it was decided that the future land use map category entitled "Hospital" be
re-created so that the existing Hospital facilities would be made conforming; this
category had been removed from the Future Land Use Plan in 1997. On November 1,
2011 the comprehensive plan category "Hospital" was adopted by the City Commission
on final reading [Ordinance 37-11-2110] and transmitted to the State Department of
Economic Opportunity (formerly the Department of Community Affairs). Staff brought
the map category to the Planning Board, acting in its capacity as the Local Planning
Agency (LP A), to review the appropriateness of its application to the above referenced
properties on the City'S Future Land Use Map.
At the June 19,2012 LPA board meeting following a public hearing on application PB-
12-019, the Board adopted a motion by a vote of 3 ayes and 3 nays, in effect
recommending that the proposed future land use amendment be denied by the City
Commission.
Current Land Use Plan & Map Category
Prior to 1997, properties located North of SW 70 Street had a land use category of
Hospital/Office (4-Story). The Hospital/Office (4-Story) category was removed from the
City'S Comprehensive Plan Category in 1997 during the evaluation and appraisal
reporting period (97-1ER). The land use plan category of "Hospital" was reinstated on
November 1 , 2011(Ordinance 37-11-2110); the map category is currently Mixed Use
Commercial/Residential (4-Story). The property located at 6140 SW 70 Street, by all
indication has never had the designation of Hospital/Office , but rather a mixed use
classification; the map category is currently Mixed Use Commercial Residential (4-Story)

Land Use Plan Category [Ordinance 37-11-2110]:
Hospital -The hospital land use category shall be applied to development projects and
properties providing hospital facilities with building heights and intensities compatible
with existing and adjacent uses and special uses. Permitted heights, densities and
intensities shall be set forth as part of a corresponding zoning use district in the Land
Development Code .
Compatibility of Use: The property located at 6140 SW 70 Street is accessed from both
and SW 61st Court and SW 70 Street, and is bounded by the hospital, medical offices,
parking and commercial offices. The properties north of SW 70 Street and its medical
building is accessible only from SW 70th Street, and is bounded by medical offices,
Hospital, and commercial uses and multi-family residential.
Compatibility of Density/Height: The Hospital category was removed from the city's
comprehensive plan in 1997. The proposed future land use map category will reestablish
a category; heights and densities for "new" or expanded hospital facilities must comply
with the requirements of Section 20-3.4(14), and the MO zoning district in Section 20-3.5
of the City's Land Development Code, enumerated below.
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 . Please
note that these facilities are preexisting; any expansion of the hospital facilities shall be in
compliance with the requirements of the comprehensive plan and land development code.
For purposes of this report, presented below is a summary of the projected impact of the
proposed land use map category on public facility capacity.

(B) District Purpose Statements.
(27) "H" Hospital District: The purpose ofthis district is to permit, as a special
use, areas that will accommodate various hospital needs in a manner compatible
with nearby residential areas. The district also permits office uses at appropriate
intensities in the event that hospital uses are terminated and is appropriate in areas
designated "Hospital/Office" on the city's adopted Comprehensive Plan. The
unique nature of hospital usage and its quickly changing needs and characteristics
makes their proper regulation under ordinary 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.

Staff Observations
1. This is a preexisting properties and facilities. The applicant has not proposed and
additional development or redevelopment for these sites; impact of the proposed land
use map category change will have no change to public facilities including traffic,
waste collection, water and sewers.
2. Prior to 1997, properties located North of SW 70 Street had a land use category of
Hospital/Office (4-Story). The Hospital/Office (4-Story) category was removed from
the City'S Comprehensive Plan Category in 1997 during the evaluation and appraisal
reporting period (97-1ER). The land use plan category of "Hospital" was reinstated
on November!, 2011(Ordinance 37-11-2110); the map category is currently Mixed
Use Commercial/Residential (4-Story). The current zoning on these properties is
Hospital.
3. The property located at 6140 SW 70 Street, by all indication has never had the
designation of Hospital/Office, but rather a mixed use classification; the map category
Z:ICommission ItemsI201218-7-12ILarkin FLUM MU _CR to HlLarkin FLUM Amendment MUCR to H_CM report 8-07-12.doc
Page 8
is currently Mixed Use Commercial Residential (4-Story). Should the Commission
choose not to amend the land use category for this property, the uses could continue
under the current classification. If the Commission wishes to proceed with the
proposed amendment, a rezoning of the property will also be required.

Mr. Pepe informed the Board that he did the research regarding items PB-12-015 and PB-12-
016 if the story designation is a taking. His findings were that it is not a taking because anyone
who purchases property is on notice of future changes due to the Comp Plan and also zoning
changes.
