11South Miami t,o,iI CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM mr To: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Via: Kelly Barket, Jr., Acting City Manager From: Christopher Brimo, AICP ~! / Planning Director Q)'j Date: December 4,2012 SUBJECT: ITEM No. II ----- An Ordinance amending the official zomng map of the City of South Miami Land Development Code by changing the zoning use district of the Community Redevelopment Agency owned property assemblage enumerated below and referred to as the Madison Square redevelopment site, from "NR" Neighborhood Retail and "RS-4" Small Lot Single-Family Residential zoning district, to "SR" Specialty Retail zoning district; to provide compatibility with the current mixed-use land-use designation of the site and allow for development of a mixed-use affordable housing project in the Community Redevelopment Area. SUMMARY OF REQUEST The City of South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency Board, at its October 8, 2012, meeting received a report from the Agency Director proposing that the Planning and Zoning Department be requested to initiate the process of re-zoning the Madison Square development site from its current zoning use designation of "NR" Neighborhood Retail and "RS-4" Small Lot Single-Family Residential, to the "SR" Specialty Retail zoning designation. This zoning designation was originally designed specifically for the downtown shopping district and allows for a mix of residential, retail and office uses up to four stories in height. A change from the current zoning use district is necessary since residential development is not permitted in the current "NR" Neighborhood Retail district, except as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) Section 20-3-3 (D). However, the Madison Square property assemblage does not meet the minimum area requirements of 2 net acres required for a PUD. At the August 7, 2012 City Commission meeting, the Commission following a public hearing, approved Ordinance 10-12-2126 effectively converting the remaining Madison Square development properties to a unified Future Land Use designation of Mixed-Use Commercial Residential. It is important to note that the underlying density of the Mixed- Use Commercial Residential land use is 24 units per acre (upa). Based on the current 2001 City Commission Madison Square Rezoning Request December 4, 2012 Page 2 0/8 size (approximately 1.44 acres) of the Madison Square property assemblage, it is estimated that the approximately 35 residential units could be developed. While the CRA does control additional property in the vicinity of the project area, this proposed amendment only relates to those properties listed in "Exhibit A" below. Existing Zoning "NR" Neighborhood Retail District: The purpose of this district is to permit convenience commercial uses which provide for the everyday retail and personal service needs of nearby residential neighborhoods in a compatible and convenient manner. This district is appropriate in areas designated "Neighborhood Retail Development" on the city's adopted Comprehensive Plan. Please note that one (1) lot in this assemblage (6443 SW 60 AVE) is also zoned RS-4 Small Lot Single-Family Residential. Proposed Zoning SR" Specialty Retail District: The purpose of this district is to maintain the basic specialty retail character of the Sunset Drive commercial area by encouraging comparison retail uses at the pedestrian-oriented grade level and office and residential uses on the upper floors of all buildings. This district is appropriate in areas designated "Mixed Use Commercial Residential" on the city's adopted Comprehensive Plan.

The CRA and the Planning and Zoning Department discussed two possible options that could facilitate the type of mixed use development that the CRA and community has been contemplating, that would also be compatible with the current land use designation of mixed use commercial-residential. Additionally, there has been general discussion of the possibility of applying the 2-story Mixed Use Affordable Housing (MU-AH) category that was adopted in 2010 to these properties, and have the development request a variance to the building height to achieve 3 or 4 stories. This is not a course of action recommended by the Planning Department for the following reason. Generally, a variance is authorized if due to circumstances unique to the applicant's property itself and not shared by other property in the area, there exists an undue and unnecessary hardship created by the zoning regulations. The hardship cannot have been self-created; this is a requirement of the City'S Land Development Code. In staffs opinion, the variance should not be used to correct improper zoning. City Commission Madison Square Rezoning Request December 4, 2012 Page 40f8 Option 1 -Re-zone the entire "NR" (Neighborhood Retail) to an existing City of South Miami zoning category titled "SR" (Specialty Retail), which would allow for development of an up-to four-story, mixed use, affordable housing redevelopment project; and Option 2 -Re-zone the entire district utilizing a newly proposed zoning district of Neighborhood Mixed Use (NMU), which would allow for development of an up-to three- story mixed-use, affordable housing redevelopment project. Please note that this proposed NMU district had a preliminary review by the Planning Board earlier this summer. Additionally, since the Madison Square project area abuts single family zoning districts on the North, West and South, any proposed zoning designation greater than 2-stories that is applied to this project must adhere to the requirements of Section 20-3.5(D) below. This requirement was also restated in the motion for approval by the Planning Board. Section 20-3.5 (D) 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 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 The application PB-12-035 requesting the rezoning of the Madison Square property assemblage from "NR" and "RS-4" to "SR", was reviewed by the Planning Board on November 13,2012. In the presentation staff recommended to the Board that it would be preferable to rezone the Madison Square property assemblage, as well as the other non CRA properties within that "NR" zoning district (Exhibit A). However, following a public hearing the Board made a motion to recommend approval of the rezoning request for the Madison Square property assemblage only, by a vote of 5 yeas; 1 nay. The Board also made a second motion recommending that Section 20-3.5(D) (above) be incorporated into any request for a development proposal. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Commission approve the rezoning request for the fifteen Madison Square properties. In addition, staff also recommends that the Commission consider the possible rezoning of the seven remaining properties, which are not a part of the Madison Square assemblage.

Background Page 34 of the SMCRA adopted redevelopment plan directs the Agency to facilitate the required land-use amendments and zoning revisions required to implement a "feasible" mixed-use development referred to as Madison Square. On-going community input (See Exhibit A) and recent consultant recommendations (See Exhibit B) indicate that a development containing between three and four stories in height would potentially yield the most financially feasible affordable housing development project. During the August 7, 2012 City Commission Meeting, the City Commission recently approved Ordinance No. 10-12-2126 effectively converting ail Madison Square development properties into one unified Mixed-Use Development land-use category (See Exhibit C). Following this recent approval, the SMCRA Board was informed the next step in the process would involve approval of a compatible zoning district. It was also pointed out that the current zoning designation for the site, "NR" (Neighborhood Retail) does not allow for residential development. During the September 10, 2012 SMCRA Meeting and in the interest of time, the Board requested that staff research the necessary requirements to facilitate the required zoning change. Based on follow-up discussions with the City's Planning & Zoning Department, the following zoning options exist: • Option 1 -Re-zone the entire site to an existing City of South Miami zoning category entitled "SR" (Specialty Retail District) which would allow for development of an up-to four-story, mixed- use, affordable housing redevelopment project; and • Option 2 -Re-zone the entire site utilizing a newly created zoning district through the City's Planning Department which would allow for development of an up-to three-story mixed-use, affordable housing redevelopment project. The Planning Department also at this time recommends that the SMCRA Board provide specific direction regarding a desired zoning district for the Madison Square Project. Approval of the attached resolution by the SMCRA Board, will allow this item to be transmitted to the South Miami Planning & Zoning Board for recommendation on the requested zoning amendment. Following this recommendation, this item would proceed to the City Commission for final approval. Staff understands final approval by the City Commission will require a five fifths vote. Following approval by the City Commission the entire redevelopment site could be advertised within a request for proposal process to illicit design proposals and construction of this cornerstone community redevelopment project. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the attached resolution based on the request of the item sponsor, Board Member Price authorizing the Agency to submit a request for a zoning' amendment to the South Miami Planning & Zoning Board to re-zone an Agency owned property assemblage known as the Madison Square redevelopment site from a current zoning designation of "NR" (Neighborhood Retail) to the "SR" (Specialty Retail) Zoning District to provide . land-use compatibility with the current mixed-use land-use designation for the Madison Square property assemblage and allowing for development of a viable mixed~use affordable housing development project in the Community Redevelopment Area.

Levy Kelly opened the discussion by indicating that he as well as other community leaders were strongly in favor of a four-story development consisting of both affordable housing and economic development opportunities. Mr. Kelly further indicated that residents of the SMCRA Community have long supported and expressed their desire for a four-story mixed-use development at this location . Board Member Walter Harris expressed the importance of pending Planning Board and City Commission approvals required to continue to move the project forward. Workshop Attendee Rodney Williams expressed his concern that the City's Planning & Zoning Board had in the past not taken into account the views of the SMCRA Community during their review and recommendation process. Board Member Deltravis Williams also expressed his support of a four-story mixed-use, affordable housing development. Board Member Williams also expressed a concern that previous input provided by the SMCRA Community had gone unheard. Board Member Welsh expressed the need to increase affordable commercial rental space in the final development. Board Member Welsh indicated that he would also be in support of a proposed land-use change of the existing, vacant Marshall Williamson development site to provide additional project density and total affordable housing unit count. Meeting attendee Gladys Turner expressed the fact that the SMCRA Community has long been in support of a minimum of a four-story development ever since the original establishment of South Miami Saint Johns Episcopal Church. An inquiry was then directed to the various City Commissioners in attendance regarding the maximum project height they would be willing to support. Board Member Harris indicated that he has always been in favor of a maximum three-story height development. Board Member Welsh indicated that a two-story development might be more compatible with the surrounding neighborhood if additional density could be achieved in other areas of the project site including within the historic Marshall Williamson site. Vice Chair Liebman reiterated that he would consider supporting a four-story maximum development and again indicated that a majority vote of the City Commission would ultimately be required. Workshop attendee Levi Kelly indicted that there were creative ways that could be used by the City of South Miami to allow this development to take place without setting a development precedent in the City of South Miami. One example provided was to develop the project as a Planned Unit Development or P.U.D. which development type allows the City Commission to provide approval on a case-by-case basis. Workshop Attendee Simon Codington Jr. then expressed the fact that historical context was extremely important especially in any lengthy redevelopment process. Mr. Codington went on to discuss the importance and of the original Charrette Two process and the consensus gained at that time for developing at a minimum of four stories. Mr. Codington explained that this area of South Miami experienced a previous devastating loss to its commercial core and that that the originally conceived project involved an up-to eight-story development to compensate for previously lost economic development opportunities in the area. Mr. Codington also expressed the fact that affordable housing units in the Community Redevelopment Area were also previously lost and that an equal number of units were required to be replaced. Mr. Codington reiterated that his was an extremely important opportunity for the SMCRA and the City to develop the project to its best and highest use. A general discussion then ensued concerning the intent of the NRSA designation and the appointed role of the South Miami Community Action Agency in projects such as the Madison Square Development. Meeting attendee James Dundorff then explained the general role of the City's Planning & Zoning Board in the decision and recommendation process and expressed concern regarding the proposed height and density of the proposed project and relation surrounding neighborhood compatibility. Mr. Dundorff further expanded upon on his views of a successful project at this location iDclucHn9 the i?gt thatJh~ amount of commerci.S!! enterprises desired by attendees 2006 Madison Square Planning Charette would require far more square footage than allotted for in the any of the architectural drawings submitted by the SMCRA hired consultant firm, Duaney-Platter-Zyberk. Vice Chair Liebman closed the meeting by thanking everyone for attending and reiterating his continued support for the project and also announced the next scheduled follow-up workshop date of Thursday, June 21,2012 at 7:30 p.m. at the City of South Miami Gibson-Bethel Community Center. MADISON SQUARE COMMUNITY INPUT (Community Workshop Synopsis, June 21, 2012) MIAMH)ADE. Bm'J SMCRA Madison Square Development Workshop Draft Workshop Synopsis Notes (June 21,2012) Workshop Attendees: The following individuals were in attendance during the June 21, 2012 Madison Square development Workshop: Daisey Harrell, Tywana Williams, Brandy Scippo, Anna Price, Leon Jenkins, Simon Codrington Jr, Marice Chael, Joyce M Price, Rodney Williams, Ryan Devereux, Josephine Anderson; SMCRA Board Members: Deltravis Williams, Walter Harris, Bob Welsh, Denise Covington; Staff: James McCants and Stephen David SMCRA Board Chair Stoddard opened the discussion by acknowledging that the proposed project has been under discussion for quite some time and during that time many views have been expressed. Chair Stoddard then inquired as to whether anyone in attendance had any new thoughts or ideas concerning the proposed project. SMCRA Board Member Harris briefly alluded to prior successes experienced during the 1994 Hometown 2 planning process and the relative turn-out received. To provide additional background information, staff handed-out the draft meeting synopsis from the previous workshop held on Thursday June 14, 2012. Meeting attendee Daisy Harrell then pointed out the fact that existing members of the SMCRA Community have consistently expressed their desire to facilitate a four-story mixed-use development at the proposed location. Meeting attendee Anna Price then acknowledged the fact that there was indeed a large turn out during the 1994 charrette process but also expressed the fact that that charrette occurred many years ago and since that time the required consensus from the City of South Miami Commission has not been obtained to move forward and complete the project. Ms. Price then stated that the most probable reason for the recent low attendance is the fact that many residents now believe that their voice will not be heard. SMCRA Board Member Welsh then stated that once other key projects such as the pool are initiated, surrounding area residents may begin to gain confidence in the fact that consensus .can be obtained and that additional projects will be developed. SMCRA Chair Stoddard then suggested a door-to-door survey of SMCRA Area residents to determine resident consensus. SMCRA Board Member Williams then expressed the fact that his elder relatives had attended the two Hometown Planning Charrettes and expressed the concern that the voices of the surrounding area residents should be heard and acted upon. Chair Stoddard then briefly discussed the current City Commission voting system needed to approve any required land-use and zoning changes and questioned whether anyone had any ideas on how to achieve the ultimate goal in light of current system realities. Chair Stoddard went on to explain that even if a proposed four-story design was presented to the City Commission that it wouldn't necessarily mean that the required votes would be there to approve the required land-use and zoning changes. Chair Stoddard also discussed the potential variances required to construct adjacent to residentially zoned properties. Meeting attendee Daisy Harrell then questioned why the City Commissioners were polled during the previous workshop and stated that the views of the affected residents should be the most important consideration. Historic undersized lots and inadequate zoning conditions in the SMCRA Area were also then discussed. Meeting attendee Daisy Harrell inquired about the specifics concerning current opposition from the City Commission. Chair Stoddard explained that certain members of the Commission are concerned about creating potential negative development precedents in the City of South Miami. Meeting attendee Rodney Williams expressed his concerns regarding the fact that the Proposed Madison Square Project was being viewed as setting a precedent and indicated that the development concern was most likely along SW 62 nd Avenue. Meeting attendee Anna Price stated that the Madison Square Project would not · establish a development precedent but that development precedents had already been established by other mixed-use projects in the SMCRA Area including the Valencia and the Red Road Commons mixed-use development projects. Meeting attendee Rodney Williams expressed his strong concern regarding comments previously expressed in opposition of 4-story development during the June 14, 2012 workshop by workshop attendees who had not previously participated in numerous other community workshops, charrettes and meetings regarding the Madison Square Mixed-Use development. The need for a cultural arts component in the final development was then briefly discussed. SMCRA Board Member Welsh then discussed the idea of possibly obtaining additional project density in other areas of the site by increasing current land-uses or by purchasing additional properties. Meeting attendee Simon Codrington expressed the fact that historical context was extremely important to acknowledge especially during discussions of possible compromise. Mr. Codrington went on to explain that the proposed Madison Square redevelopment site was previously designated a T.O.D.D. land-use category and that the originally conceived project contained a proposed eight-story height designation. Mr. Codrington went on to explain that the existing area in the City of South Miami located behind the Wynn Dixie Supermarket also contained housing developments ranging between 4 and 8 stories. Mr. Codrington further explained that the proposed Madison Square development was a prime opportunity for the SMCRA and City of South Miami to develop the site to its maximum affordable housing/economic development potential. Board Member Harris expressed the fact that obtaining sufficient parking on the proposed site was a potential problem. The discussion regarding future proposed shared parking arrangements with adjacent community establishments then briefly discussed. The discussion concerning the actual intent of the T.O.D.D. Land-Use District was then discussed. Meeting Attendee Marice Chael indicated that the proposed Madison Square redevelopment site was within the highly desirable 2.5 mile radius of the existing Metro- Rail station. Other creative planning techniques were then discussed including construction of the project as a Planned Unit Development (P.U.D) which enables the City Commission to approve projects on a case-by-case review and provide development bonuses in lieu of specific project amenities provided by the developer. The importance of the SMCRA Area being a designated Miami-Dade County Special District with specific special needs was also discussed including the possibility of crafting legal language to allow a more flexible development type in the City's CRA Area only. SMCRA Board Chair Stoddard ended the workshop by again acknowledging those in attendance and reiterated that he was highly interested in seeing a meaningful development take place on the site and stated he would continue to encourage and facilitate development of the project.

SMCRA D;il-ector Date: January 11,2010 ITEM No. _____ _ LAND USE ANALYSIS OF SMCRA OWNED PROPERTIES During the November 23, 2009 Meeting, the Board reviewed a land-use analysis of SMCRA owned properties presented by LaRue Planning & Management.. The presentation included a objective analysis of the most appropriate land-use use density and intensity required to implement the proposed Madison Square mixed-use development. Based on this professional analysis, the following three development scenarios were presented to the Board: 1st Recommendations Maximum DensllY Total Units Number of Bedrooms Scenario 1.. ............ 41 Units Per Acre 78 Units Scenario 2* ............ 34 Units Per Acre 65 Units Scenario 3.... ........ 24 Units Per Acre 46 Units I-Bed (35); 2-Bed (39); Townhomes (4) I-Bed (35); 2-Bed (26); Townhomes (4) I-Bed (18); 2-Bed (24); Townhomes (4) It should be noted that all recommendations are based on inclusion of recently purchased SMCRA properties yielding a total site area of 1.9 acres. Based on subsequent input from the Board, the consultant has now reworked his original recommendations to provide a greater dispersion of two and thr~e bedroom units IlS well as an increase in overall unit size. As a result, the following the scenarios were developed; 2nd Recommendations Maximum Density Total Units Number of Bedrooms Scenario 1. ............. 32 Units Per Acre 61 Units I-Bed (21) 2-Bed (18) 3-Bed (18) Townhomes (4) Scenario 2* ............ 26.5 Units Per Acre 51 Units Scenario 3............ 22 Units Per Acre 42 Units * Consultant Recommended Scenarios lOBed (21) 2-Bed (14) 3-Bed (12) Townhomes (4) loBed (14) 2-Bed (12) 3-Bed (12) Townhomes (4) A copy of the final land use analysis report has been included in your agenda p acket.

An Ordinance amending the Future Land Use Map of the South Miami Comprehensive PIan by changing the future land use map category of two parcels from Single-Family Residential(Two Story) to Mixed Use CommerciaIlResidential'(Four-Story) for an area identified as Madison Square; the propel1ies more specifically described as 6443 SW 60 Avenue; Folio # 09-4025-010-0050; and 64~3 SW 59 PL; Folio # 09-4025-010-0320. 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 a.re cunently designated as Mixed use ConunerciallResidential (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 mid the City Corrunission. 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 ls then forwarded to Depa11ment 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, recomnlendatiolls, 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 2.001 future land use map amendment review 1s 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 Repolt 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 th'e 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 COJrunission tri~d 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 Futlll'e 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 repolt (Ord. No, 09-10-2034). The EvaluatiQll 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 tlus 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 COJ;nmission adopted and transmitted this new land future land use map category. This category has not been applied to any specific properties. The cun'ent future land use map designation for the original 13 Madison Square properties remains as "Mixed-Use CommerciallResidential (Four Story)". On April 24, 2012 the Plan,ning Board acting in ~ts capacity as the Local Plarming Agency held a public hearing (PB-12-012) to discuss the proposal to change the land use designation of the two remainit:J.g single family rysidential 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 Squru:e. The proposed map amendment for the two remaining parcels did not receive a majority rec~nunendation; 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 r.etail 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 iiztensities 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 recommen(/ation by the Department of Commun'Uy 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 0/ uses, the City requires that a minimum o/two of the above uses must be developed within this category. For residential projects, at a minimum, at least onejloor 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 onefl09r must contain residential or retail . . SUMMARY OF THE MADISON SQUARE SITE The Madison Square site con~ists 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 aCl'es (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.
