Planning Director
Date: September 3,2013 ITEM No. -----
2001
A Resolution related to a request pursuant to Section 20-3.5(D) of the South Miami Land
Development Code, requesting an additional (third) floor within the Madison Square Mixed Use
Development Project, located between SW 60 Avenue and SW 59 Court; and between SW 64 Street
and SW 66 Street.
BACKGROUND
The applicant, South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (SMCRA), is requesting approval via
the special use review process to increase the height of the Madison Square Mixed Use Development
Project from two (2) stories to a maximum height of three (3) stories for properties located between SW
60 th Avenue and SW 59th Court; and between SW 64 th Street and SW 66 th Street.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
At the December 18, 2012 Commission meeting, Ordinance #31-12-2147 was approved, modifying the
zoning district for the subject area from a combination of Neighborhood Retail (NR) and Small Lot Single
Family Residential (RS-4) to Specialty Retail (SR). By changing the zoning district to SR, it allowed for
the development of a mixed use, residential Icommercial project. Under the previous zoning designation
of NR, residential uses were not permitted except as a Planned Unit Development. The amendment also
allowed the development to increase its height up to 4-stories. However, because the proposed 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 regulations listed in Section 20-
3 .5(D)( 1) of the Land Development Code:
Properties Abutting Single-Family Zoning Districts.
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.
Under the regulations of the special use process that are listed under Section 20-5.8 of the Land
Development Code, approval may be granted after two (2) public hearings. The first public hearing shall
be before the planning board, at which time the planning board will review the project and provide to the
city commission an advisory recommendation regarding approval, approval with conditions, or
disapproval. At the second public hearing, the city commission will determine the overall compatibility
of the additional height with the surrounding neighborhood.

Madison Square 3rd Floor Request -Special Use Review

Sept. 03, 2013
Page 2 of3
SPECIAL USE REQUEST
Pursuant to the approved motion from the June 10, 2013 SMCRA Board meeting, the applicant is
requesting a review under the special use process to allow for 3-story building heights as part of the
Madison Square development project as proposed by the project developer in all project areas adjacent to
residential uses. This motion is enumerated below and in the attached email correspondence dated June
13,2013.
SMCRA Board Approved Motion #1-"Authorization for the SMCRA to submit a request for special
exception to the City of South Miami Planning & Zoning Board to allow for 3-story building heights as
part of the Madison Square development project as proposed by project developer in all project areas
adjacent to residential uses".
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
• As shown in Figure 1, the proposed project abuts single family residential zoning districts, although
there is a mix of actual uses including commercial, duplex, multifamily and religious on all sides of
the project.
Figure 1
• The properties that comprise the Madison Square development project can be found on the attached
chart entitled Special Exception Application Property Folio List.
• The mix of land uses is compatible with the proposed additional (3rd) story.
• The location of the development along several street frontages, including SW 64th Street provides a
natural buffer for the additional floor being requested.
• The developer has indicated in the attached rendering that the proposal will step down to a 2-story
height in those areas of the project closest to existing single family residential.

.. ..
• The additional story would allow for additional living space, additional office/retail space, or both,
which in tum would generate more living and working opportunities within the SMCRA, meeting the
goals of the CRA plan and the expectations of the community.
• The applicant is requesting a height increase of one story, bringing the maximum stories for the
project to three (3). This increase would not exceed the maximum height allowed in the Specialty
Retail (SR) zoning district, which is four (4) stories.
SPECIAL USE REVIEW
1. The overall purpose of going through the special use review process is to determine the compatibility
of the proposed use with the surrounding neighborhood. A special use must comply with the
conditions set forth in Section 20-S.8(B) in that the use:
a) Will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity of the
proposed use;
b) Will not be detrimental to the public welfare or property or improvements in the neighborhood;
and,
c) Complies with all other applicable Code provisions.
RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Board at the August 13, 2013 meeting, following a public hearing on application PB-13-
026, made a motion to approve the third floor request for the Madison Square mixed use development
project with the condition that the additional height be limited to the structures along SW 64th Street.
This motion was approved by a vote of S ayes, and 0 nays.

Chris,
As you may be aware, the following motions were unanimously approved by the SMCRA Board
during their June 10th Meeting:
1. SMCRA Board Approved Motion #1-"Authorization for the SMCRA to submit a request

2. SMCRA Board Approved Motion #2 -"Authorization for the SMCRA to submit a request

We'll forward to you as soon as we receive them.

Applicant: Oscar Sol (Project Developer) and Luigi Vitalini (Project Architect)
Mr. Sol stated that they were selected by the CRA board for this project and gathered feedback
from the different stakeholders such as the City, staff, elected officials, area residents and
community groups. He stated next that what became apparent was that there were conflicting and
various ideas as to the development of this property. He then stated that some groups expressed
the desire for greater density, others were of the opinion to higher than four stories and no less,
and others shared a concern for a limited height adjacent to single family homes. He stated that
they tried to comply with the many requests and find the right balance.
Mr. Vitalini gave a brief presentation of the project to the Board.
Mr. Sol stated that one apartment building and two small houses will be demoed in the area in
order to implement this project. Mr. Vitalini stated that it is important to note that retail will be
located along sixty-Fourth Street which was one of the requests that was largely expressed by
everyone. Mr. Sol stated that what they are proposing will consist of one bedroom units, two
bedroom units, and three bedroom units built with a total of forty-one units. Mr. Brimo stated
that the rent is regulated by the Miami-Dade County Area Median Income (AMI) which adjusts
annually; if the project is not built in the time frame that has been set the amount may increase or
decrease. Mr. Sol stated that this formula is used by the State of Florida and Miami-Dade County
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) based on the annual incomes of the families. Mr. James
McCants, the CRA Outreach Coordinator stated that there are a total of eight displaced families
that will be relocated with the aid of the CRA. He also stated that they will be given first priority
in choosing to move back once this project is complete. Mr. Sol stated that the commercial retail
that will be located on the first floor will be geared to promote jobs within the CRA area and
encourage the residents to shop and receive services within the neighborhood opposed to
travelling a number of miles away.
The Chairman opened the public hearing.
Deltravis Williams 6510 SW 58 th Place Support
He stated that this has been a very tedious process almost three decades of trying to get projects
such as Madison Square, Murray Park Pool and others completed. He also stated that what is
currently being proposed he and other residents are in favor of. He stated next that affordable
housing is very much needed within South Miami and several people have moved away due to a
