An Ordinance amending Section 20-3.3(C)(6) Permitted Use Schedule, of the Land
Development Code; providing for additional ground floor and third floor uses for certain
properties in the "SR -Specialty Retail" zoning district; providing for severability; providing for
ordinances in conflict .
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
Holland & Knight, representing Bakery Associates, Ltd. Is requesting the review and approval of
an amendment to the permitted uses within the SR -Specialty Retail zoning district to allow
"office" uses on the ground and third floors within a limited area of the Shops at Sunset Place.
BACKGROUND
At the February 5, 2013 City Commission meeting during Commission remarks, the Vice Mayor
raised an issue regarding the Shops at Sunset Place for general discussion with the other
Commissioners. Vice Mayor Liebman had spoken with representatives of Simon Properties
regarding ways to decrease the vacancies at the Shops and increase the pedestrian traffic that
would benefit the Shops and the downtown area by allowing "permitted" office uses within
certain areas of the property where these uses are currently prohibited. The area in question is
that part of the shopping center previously occupied by Nike Town and Casa Ideas at the
northern apex of the property. Its general location and frontage on South Dixie Highway
discourages the typical retail pedestrian traffic.
Currently the Land Development Code states the following. In the "SR" Specialty Retail
District, permitted retail uses shall be located only on first and second floor building levels,
permitted office uses only on second floor building levels, and permitted residential uses only on
secondJloor building levels or above. During the discussion the Commission expressed interest,
and seemed willing to entertain a proposal that would allow office uses within the northern
portion of the Shops that has remained vacant. Attached is a excerpt from the February 5th
discussion.
The Shops at Sunset Place is approximately 516,000 square feet of mixed use development
within the Specialty Retail (SR) zoning district, and the Hometown Overlay District. The
proposal as presented would seek to amend the current use restrictions to allow "office" uses on
Shops at Sunset Place

Pursuant to Section 20-7.12 -Permitted Uses, of the Land Development Code, the following
office uses are permitted within the Hometown District.

the first and third floors of the shopping center. If approved, the applicant is proposing
approximately 40,000 square feet of office on the ground floor, at the northern portion of the
shops, and an additional, 25,000 square feet of office uses on the third floor level, currently not
permitted in the "SRI! zoning district. Office uses are permitted by right on the second floor
level, and approximately 46,000 square feet is already occupied or planned for office occupancy.
If the use restrictions are so amended, then approximately twenty-one (21 %) percent of the
shopping center could lease to permitted office uses. Please refer to the floor level exhibits
provided by the applicant for more detail. The applicants representative also indicated that
access to the proposed office uses would continue to be through the interior of the shopping
center. Allowing office uses in these circumstances should help to reactivate the vacant
storefronts along South Dixie Highway [Figures 1, 2 and 3], and provide additional daytime
pedestrian activity to the downtown retail and restaurant establishments during non-peak periods.

The shopping center currently has 1,762 parking spaces on-site. The parking ratio for retail uses is I space
per 300 square feet; office uses require 1 space per 250 square feet; medical office is 1 space per 200
square feet; restaurant use is 1 space per 100 square feet. Given the total number of parking spaces
available and the differences in the peak hour parking requirements for the various uses, it is not
anticipated that there will be a deficiency in parking if the amendment is approved.
At the special meeting of the Planning Board on April 22, 2013, representatives from Holland & Knight
(representing Bakery Associates/Simon Properties) presented the proposal. Following a public hearing
and discussion by the Board, they voted unanimously to recommend approval and move the item to the
City Commission for review.
The applicant is proposing the following amendment to the City's Land Development Code, Section 20-
3.3(C)(6).
LDC Sec. 20-3.3(C) Permitted Use Schedule.
* * * * *
(6) Location of Pennitted "SR" District Uses. In the "SR" Specialty Retail District, permitted retail
uses shall be located only on first and second floor building levels, pennitted office uses only on second
floor building levels, and pennitted residential uses only on second floor building levels or above; except
that for buildings abutting U.S. 1 that contain more than 50,000 square feet of ground floor space,
permitted office uses may be located on the first. second or third floor building levels within that portion
of the building lying within 1 SO feet of the U.S. 1 (Sollth Dixie Highway) right-of-way.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the Commission consider the proposed amendment, but als.o recommends the
following be considered for inclusion to maintain the retail look ofthe ground floor.
1. Establish a percentage of pennitted office uses that would be allowed to occupy the first/ground
floor of multi-tenant structures; not to exceed a contiguous ten (10%) percent of the first/ground
floor building area. Requests for office uses in excess of a contiguous 10% would require a
"special exception" approval pursuantto Section 20-7.51 ofthe Land Development Code.
2. Office uses at street level should be required to have ground floor visibility from the adjacent
streets and interior walkways, and serve patrons on an unannounced or drop-in basis. These uses
should to the best of their ability, maintain a retail storefront look comparable to traditional retail
sales operations.
3. The ground-floor building frontage shall have storefront windows covering no less than twenty-
five (25) percent of the ground-floor building frontage wall area. Storefronts shall remain un-
shuttered at night and shall utilize transparent glazing material, and shall provide view of interior
spaces lit from within. Where building frontages exceed fifty (50) feet, doors or entrances with
public access shall be provided at intervals averaging no greater than twenty-five (25) feet [Sec.
20-7.23].

City of South Miami Ordinance No. 08-06-1876 requires all/abbyisfs before engaging in any lobbying activities
to register with the City Clerk and pay an annual fee of$500 per Ordinance No . 44-08-1979. This applies to all
persons who are retained (whether paid or not) to represent a business entity 01' organization to influence "City "
action. "City" action is broadly described to include the ranking and selection of professional consultants, and
virtually ail-legislative, quasi-judicial and administrative action.
Vice Mayor Liebman stated that he had a meeting with the legal counsel for the Shops of
Sunset and Simon Properties. They ~ave three properties in the immediate area Dadeland, the
Falls and International Mall which seem to be flourishing while the Shops of Sunset is
floundering. Their worst performing asset is the Shops of Sunset, ironically the AMC Theatre
located on site is the third most successful within the country.
He then stated that without AMC the mall would probably be even emptier than it currently is.
He also stated that he would like to get the Commission's opinion on office space on the first
floor where Niketown and Casa Ideas were located; that was the nature of the meeting. He
stated next that the discussion was that "office" is not currently a permitted use on the first
floor, and that their perspective tenants would want to be on the first and second floors. He
stated that they would like to occupy space on all three floors; with Niketown and Casa Ideas.
He then stated that he would like to get the commissions' opinion before bringing this forth; it
will require a 5 out of 5 vote. Commissioner Welsh asked if Simon was in favor of the proposal.
The Vice Mayor stated that without a change the space may remain empty; it's kind of a dead
corner.
Mayor Stoddard stated that.the location is far enough back in that it tends to discourage retail
traffic; traffic doesn't come in much from that apex; Mayor Stoddard stated that he would love
to see Simon Properties do something with the space. Commissioner Newman stated that she
too would love to see this space used; it would be great for the downtown businesses that have
offices with employees walking around patronizing the restaurants and the shops .
Commissioner Welsh asked if it would be possible to require them to put something interesting
in the windows, the first 5-feet, so anyone that is window shopping at the far corner wouldn't
be turned off by walking by office space.
Mayor Stoddard stated that the problem is that nobody does; there's a Wendy's there but that
doesn't draw a lot of foot traffic. It's sort of been a dead corner for a long time. If there had
been more foot traffic it would probably been more successful. The Mayor indicated that the
original plan for that corner was a high ri s e hotel; a dozen stories, and South Miami didn't
particularly want that . In terms of hotel con struction, hoteliers are saying that unless they can
go pretty high, it doesn't work economically for them . We're not interested in a 12·story hotel
on that corner so it seems to me that office space is probably a reasonable s olution.

.. ..
The Vice Mayor asked the City Manager to Comment on the proposal. Mr. Alexander stated
that he was sure that Simon was doing everything they can to fill and maximize the retail space.
The Manager stated that he would want to sit down with Simon Properties and have a very
clear understanding and hopefully a commitment by Simon about them redoubling their efforts
on filling up the space that they have. That portion of the property was intended to a part of
the feeding process for the entire retail part. I think it may turn out to be a good thing to go to
office, but I'd be careful how we do that and I think we ought to enter into some discussion
with them, rather than just taking an action.
Commissioner Harris indicated that Simon Properties would come before the Commission to
discuss what they think might work and what we think might work. This is not a new situation,
it's been going on for many years through two different shopping .centers. Its something that
needs to be worked on and soon; lid like them to be more profitable . The Vice Mayor stated
that he had a concern that the proposal would be a ten year lease and would not want to tie up
the property for that length oftime.
Discussion on the item ended.

Re: Letter of Intent Accompanying Application by Bakery Associates
and Simon Properties for a proposed text amendment to the Land
Development Code to allow office on the first and third level of a
portion of the The Shops at Sunset Place located ;It 5701 Sunset
Drive, South Miami
Dear Mr. Brimo :
This letter of intent accompanies the application by Bakery Associates, LTD. and its
general partner, Simon Property Group, L.P. (collectively referred to as "Simon"), the owners of
The Shops at Sunset Place located at 5701 Sunset Drive (the "Shops at Sunset" or the
"Property"). The application requests consideration and approval of an amendment to the Land
Development Code of the City of South Miami to permit office uses on the ground floor 'and the
third floor of a portion of Shops at Sunset.
The Shops at Sunset is an approximately 516,000 square foot mixed use development
located on the southwestern corner of US 1 and SW 57th Avenue in the City of South Miami.
The Property lies within the SR zoning district and within the HD overlay district.
Section 20-3.3 of the LDRs sets forth a table of uses for all zoning districts within the
City. For each district listed in the table, various uses are designated as "permitted by right" or
"permitted as a special use" or not permitted within that particular zoning district. The SR
district permits a wide variety of different uses, including various retail, office, and residential
uses.
.. ..
Mr. Christopher Brimo, AICP
Planning Director
March 8, 2013
Page 2
Section 20-3.3(C)(6) of the LDRs contains an additional limitation on uses within the SR
district. That section provides in full:
(6) Location of Permitted "SR" District Uses. In the "SR" Specialty Retail
District, permitted retail uses shall be located only on first and second
floor building levels, permitted office uses only on second floor building
levels, and pennitted residential uses only on second floor building levels
or above.
Under a literal reading of the SR district regulations, office uses would only be permitted on the
"second floor building levels" of the Shops at Sunset Place.
Shops at Sunset is a landmark project in the City of South Miami. In 1999, when the
Property was redeveloped from its previous existence as the Bakery Center, ~e project was
heralded as a new mall with a new concept: a project that would focus as much on entertainment
as shopping. The southern portion of the center includes restaurants, Splitsville, multiplex AMC
Theater and !MAX that is, to date, the fourth overall movie theater in the greater Miami area.
The northern portions of the center originally included the Virgin Records Megastore, NikeTown
and, later, Casa Ideas. After intense marketing efforts, the northern portions of the project have
not succeeded as retail uses. This application requests an amendment to the Land Development
Code, specifically, Section 20-3.3, to permit office uses within all levels of this struggling
northern portion of Shops at Sunset.
Simon contemplates that approximately ±40,500 square feet of the first floor of the mall
could be successfully leased to uses that are considered office uses in the Land Development
Code. An additional 24,500 square feet of office space is available on the third level.
Specifically within the category of potential office uses are advertising agencies, architectural,
engineering and construction companies, charitable organization, educational institutions, media
and entertainment companies, executive and financial service companies, medical offices,
professional offices and technology firms.
It is important to note that while Simon Properties is best known as a retail development
company, Simon Properties has office, hotel and residential properties through out its portfolio.
They continuously explore opportunities to diversity assets and intensify the number of uses.
Simon owns and manages over 2 Million square feet of office space spread across a broad range
of projects. When physical space is available and appropriate, office uses are a complementary
leasing strategy, especially in more urban areas. Office tenants provide a steady daytime source
of foot traffic for the retail and restaurants during non-peak hours. At the same time, for tenants
with smaller offices, being part of a mixed-use center is an amenity for their employees and
clients.

Planning Director

.. .. '"
As stated, above, the proposed text amendment submitted with this application is drafted
to limit the ground floor and third floor office use to the northern portions of the project (office
uses are permitted, by right, on any and all portions of the second floor). As you probably know,
this area of Shops at Sunset is accessed internally and has very limited street exposure along US
1 and Red Road. Furthermore, the amendment will achieve flexibility of uses in that portion of
the project without affecting the intended spirit of retail uses at street level in the rest of the
Specialty Retail District of the City.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request your favorable review and
recommendation of the proposed text amendment. Should you have any questions or need
additional information, please call me at (305) 789-7776.

III. Administrative Matters
IV. PubHc Hearings
2. PB-13-009 -AppHcant: Bakery Associates, Ltd.
-An Ordinance amending Section 20-3.3(C)(6) Permitted Use Schedule, of the Land
Development Code; providing for additional ground floor and third floor uses for certain
properties in the "SR -Specialty Retail" zoning district; providing for severability;
providing for ordinances in conflict; and providing an effective date.
Applicant: Ines Marrero
Ms. Fischer read the item into the record.
Mr. Brimo presented the item to the Board. He stated the Simon Properties had requested that the
City of South Miami look at the proposal to amend the permitted use schedule to allow for office
TH Page 1 of 4
Z:\PB\PB Minutes\2013 Minutes\April\PB Draft Regular Meeting Minutes -04-22-13 Excerpl.cJocx
.. .. ..
use on the ground floor of a very specific corner of the Shops of Sunset Place. He then stated that
this item has been somewhat discussed at the City Commission Meeting that was held on
February 5, 2013, and I have provided you with an excerpt of the minutes of that discussion. He
also stated that because of the design of that center, that corner or the apex if you will on the
northern point of Red Road becomes a dead zone for pedestrians due to the lack of pedestrian
traffic on US 1. He stated that the applicant is asking the City of South Miami to consider
allowing these office uses where the Land Development Code (LDC) currently does not permit
these uses on the ground floor in the Specialty Retail (SR) zoning district. He then stated that the
applicants have provided a draft ordinance outlining exactly what it is that they are proposing
which is before you on tonight. He also stated that the discussion at the City Commission
Meeting revolved around how you can control it so that it's not something that would take over
the entire ground floor of the Shops of Sunset, which is why the applicants have defined it so
narrowly.
The applicant gave a brief summary of the proposal. She stated that they are here to present for
the consideration of the Board an amendment to the LDC in its essence that would merely allow
for office use on a portion of the first and third floor of the mall. She also stated that Sunset Place
is a five hundred and sixteen (516,000) square feet mixed use project and it is governed by two
zoning districts the Specialty Retail and also the Hometown Overlay. She then stated that the
Specialty Retail allows a mix of uses retail, office and residential, it limits where they can go.
She stated that it is very specific that retail can happen on the first and second floor, office can be
located on the second floor and residential can be located on the second floor and above. She
also stated that this amendment will allow office use on a portion of the first and third floors. She
then stated that they ran a rough estimate with the numbers of twenty-one (21) percent or one-
fifth of the mall would be converted from retail to office space. She stated that this was originally
Holsum Bakery and then it was redeveloped to the Bakery Center and that didn't fair very well.
She then stated that in nineteen ninety-nine (1999) Simon Properties bought this mall and
redeveloped it as what is now known as the Shops of Sunset Place with a different concept of
being anchored by entertainment venues such as AMC Theaters, IMAX Theater, the Virgin
Megastore Niketown, Gameworks and FAO Schwartz; for people to have an experience, shop
and also dine. She stated that through the year some of those entertainment venues did not fare
well arid we brought in CASA IDEAS which was their first store in the United States which also
did not fare well. She then stated that the retail tenants are not attracted to that corner; we find
that this is an opportunity to bring in office uses that are going to activate that section of the mall.
She also stated that this will bring pedestrian traffic to the mall for office use, shopping and
dining in South Miami. She stated that Simon Properties owns a lot of properties that are of a
mixed use that have office components and they are good at managing them. She then stated that
she thinks that it is important that we continue to have Simon Properties to continue being the
operators of this propelty and to make it viable for them, because it is really what maintains it,
keeps it active, and brings interesting businesses and good tenants for the City of South Miami.
Mr. Greiner stated that he is in favor of supporting the use flexibility for the owner of the Shops
of Sunset, it is a difficult part of the mall it kind of turns its' back on US 1 and determining
what's the front the inside or the outside. He then stated that giving flexibility on uses is
probably a good idea, we do miss CASA IDEAS I am sorry to see it go. He also stated that he
would like to see it filled and that it would be very helpful to generate daytime traffic through
office uses which will not only be a help to the mall but also to the merchants in the rest of the
district as well so I think very positive from that perspective. He stated that from a planning
perspective it also makes really good sense, if you look at walking distances to the transit station;
TH
Z:\PB\PB Minutes\2013 Minutes\April\PB Draft Regular Meeting Minutes -04-22-13 Excerpt.uocx
Page 2 of 4
" .. ..
it makes sense to put your highest density to use especially office uses to the transit station. Mr.
Greiner then stated to Mr. Brimo that it's unusual to see many ordinances that restrict office uses
on the first floor. He stated that he is curious as to where this came from and after this process is
it worth looking at expanding it to the rest of the district as well, if there isn't tremendous
objection. He stated that Sunset Place does really well as a district at night and during the day its
a little bit light and really that is your office traffic. He then stated that restaurants have a
tendency to turn over very quickly too, so you have a lot of turnover on the street. He stated that
he isjust really curious where this came from, if you know.
Mr. Brimo responded that unfortunately he does not know where this came from .
Dr. Whitman stated that the place to look would be the Hometown Charette from the 1990's
where the Hometown District Overlay regulations grew out of; there is a report which is
available on the city's website which may say why they wanted to restrict office use. He stated
that he assumes that it was to try to kind of encourage retail in the district.
Mr. Brimo stated that he would believe that the office use restriction is enumerated in the SR
portion of the zoning code and not in the Hometown Overlay itself; but it may have addressed
that in the 90's when they originally looked at the Hometown Overlay. He stated next that
probably the basis for that was so that you would not necessarily have all the office uses
occupying the pedestrian first floor, if you are trying to generate a Mixed Use Retail district. He
also stated that it may have been a better option to say by percentage rather than a complete
prohibition on office uses in multi-use buildings like that. He stated that he will find the
information and bring it back to the Board at the next meeting.
Mr. Greiner stated that he asked because it is an unusual and burdensome on property owners,
especially where a lot of the buildings are single story, it's just unusual I haven't seen it before,
that kind of blanket restriction.
Mrs. Beckman stated that there is a concern in South Miami of non-profit organizations hiring
buildings, units and offices and then they go off the tax haul causing the residents to be hurt by
that because they don 't have the revenue to spend on concurrency and park space. She then
asked the applicant if they could put a covenant in their agreement that the residents of South
Miami will not be burdened by non-profit organizations.
The applicant responded that the property is currently owned by a for profit company, so they
pay taxes, if they we~'e to lease a space to a tenant the owner would still have to pay taxes being a
for profit company .
Mrs. Beckman stated her concern of the applicant using the fact that they have non-profit tenants
as a reason to pay less tax or no taxes ; because she knows th at in the past you have received
several deductions and reductions due to the economy .
The applicant responded no , the intent is to make it very profitable, gen erate revenue and make it
better for everyone including of course the city.
Mrs. Beckman then stated th at she likes this project and South Miami has always wanted multi-
use so, I agree with what Kevin Mr. Greiner said.
Mr. Grein er asked the applicant if they have decided where the main access for the building
would be , would it be from the inside of the complex or from the US I s ide.
TH
Z:\PB\PB Minules\20I3 Minutes\Apri1\PB Draft Regular Meeting Minutes -04 -22-13 Excerpt.docx
Page 3 of 4
.. ..
The applicant responded that it would be from the inside, we don't have any tenants yet but I
would have to think that everybody is just going to park in the garage and just walk over as they
do for all the other tenants that already exist.
Mr. Brimo stated that the parking that is in the garage would accommodate office uses; they have
sufficient parking they overbuilt the parking with the anticipation of what the highest build out
would be.
Dr. Philips asked for the percentage of the office space of the Shops of Sunset Place. The
applicant responded that the total space of five hundred-twenty thousand and four hundred sixty-
one (520,461) square feet and we are looking at one hundred eleven thousand and four hundred
thirty-five (111,435) square feet of total office space which is twenty-one (21) percent.
The Chairman opened the public hearing.
There were no public comments.
The Chairman closed the public hearing.
Dr. Whitman stated that there seems to be a tum-off from people due to the paid parking. He also
stated that he thinks that the concern here when this was restricted was keeping with the
Hometown feel instead of it turning into Brickell Avenue.
Mr. Brimo stated that the marketing representative for Simon Properties stated in discussions
there have been vacant restaurant and retail space there as well and that they have been doing
some aggressive marketing to try and fill the spaces before coming to this apprdach.
Motion: Dr. Philips motioned for approval of the item as presented. Mrs. Beckman seconded the
motion.
Vote: Yes 5, No 0
Mr. Greiner: Yes
Dr. Whitman: Yes
Mrs. Beckman: Yes
Dr. Philips: Yes
Ms. Fischer: Yes
VII. Adjournment: Dr. Whitman adjourned the Planning Board meeting at 8:30 PM.
