The subject rezoning request is an application submitted by Larkin Community Hospital in
conjunction with their previous unity of title approval (Resolution 41-12-13598) and Future Land
Use Map (FLUM) amendment request submitted by staff. The FLUM amendment was presented
to the City'S Local Planning Agency on June 19,2012 to request a review and recommendation
of a map amendment [PB-12-0 18] for 7031 SW 62 Avenue from TODD (4+4), to Hospital (H);
the recommendation was for approval by the City Commission, by a vote of 4 ayes, 2 nays.
The property involved is Larkin's main hospital building that is seeking to change the zoning use
district on this entire propeliy from "TODD (MU-5)" Transit Oriented Development District
(Mixed Use-5), to Hospital (H). This facility has been in existence since the 1970's and the
purpose of the request is to bring the zoning into conformance with the existing use of this
property as a hospital, and "to modernize emergency room services at this facility. " The TODD
(MU-5) zoning district permits mixed use residential development with a maximum height limit
of up to eight (8) stories or one-hundred feet (100'). However, this district does not permit the

development of Hospitals, making this existing use nonconforming. Hospitals are only pennitted
in the "H" zoning district following special use approval. Please refer to the permitted use

and following a public hearing, the Board made a motion to recommend approval of the' request
to the City Commission by a vote of 6 ayes, 1 nay.

Compatibility of Use: The site is the main hospital facility and a part of the Larkin Community
Hospital campus as shown on Plan Sheet 2 (Larkin Campus Plan). The site is adjacent to other
Larkin owned property and is surrounded by other medical office, commercial office, and
parking uses. The. site is approximately two blocks from the Metrorail transit station and is
within walking distance of the community center, a senior citizen center, a library and an urban
downtown. The property also is located within 500 feet from existing high density residential
developments. The existing future land use map category is currently (TODD), however the
applicant currently has a FLUM amendment request pending before the City Commission to
have this changed to the Hospital (H) category.
Public Facilities: This is a preexisting hospital facility.
Parks / Recreation Concurrency
No impact.
Schools Impact
No impact.
Wastewater (Sewer)
The applicant will be required to obtain approval from the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer
Department for any proposed development on this site.
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.
Comprehensive Plan:
The proposed use is compatible with the recent text amendment to the City's Comprehensive
Plan that reestablished the "H" hospital land use category on November 1, 2011 (Ordinance 37-
11-2110). As previously noted, this property has a companion map amendment application that
is under review by the City Commission, to change the land use designation from TODD to H.
Staff Recommendation:
This is an existing hospital facility that is nonconfonning by the cunent zoning district. Staff
recommends amending the official zoning map changing the zoning district for this property
from TODD MU-5 to H.
