Subject: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO APPLICATION NO. 6 OF THE
MIAMI -DADE COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT MASTER PLAN 2006
AMENDMENT CYCLE BY REQUESTING THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS TO DENY THE ABOVE THE STATED APPLICATION BASED
UPON ITS INCOMPATIBLITY WITH ABUTTING THE SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY WHICH INCLUDES RESIDENTIAL HOMES WITHIN
THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Background:
The Planning Department has been notified by Miami -Dade County an application to change the County's
Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map is located within one block of a South Miami single family residential area.
Application No. 6 was submitted by a group of property owners for a 7.8 acre area bounded by SW 57 Ave, SW 60
Street, SW 58 Ave, and SW 58 Terrace. The requested change is a Low/Medium Density Residential category (6-
13 units/ acre max,) to an Office/ Residential category (up to 25 units/ acre) plus office uses. The County Planning
Department has recommended denial of the application stating that the higher residential density (multi- family) is
not compatible with the surrounding residential areas. The County's Planning Advisory Board also recommended
denial of the. application.
The next level of review is the Board. of County Commissioners at their November 20, 2006 meeting. It would be
appropriate for the City of South Miami to adopt a formal resolution on the application due to its incompatibility
with surrounding single family homes. It is also important to point out that the subject block is within one of South
Miami's priority annexation areas.
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the attached draft resolution be adopted.

Commissioners:
Staff recommends: DENIAL of the proposed small -scale Land Use Plan Map amendment based
on the Staff Conclusions located at the end of this report and summarized below:
April 2006 Cycle 6 -1 Application No. 6
A change to the Office /Residential land use designation on the Land Use Plan
(LUP) map would allow a residential density of up to 25 units per gross acre
based on the provisions in the CDMP text for this category that may allow a one -
category increase in density over adjacent residential designations. A density of
up to 25 units per gross acre on the western portion of the application site would
not be compatible to the adjacent single - family residential area to the west, which
is designated Low Density Residential Communities (2.5 to 6 dwelling units per
gross acre) on the LUP map. The current designation, Low - Medium Density
Residential Communities (6 to 13 dwelling units per gross acre), provides a
buffer between the single- family area to the west and the Cloisters apartments
building on the eastern portion of the application site.
The application states that a purpose for changing the land use designation is to
facilitate the expansion of the Miami Art Central museum on the application site.
However, museums are classified by the County's land use code as an
institutional use. The text of the CDMP states that community - serving
institutional uses may be approved where compatible in every urban land use
category on the Land Use Plan map. The existing designation, Low - Medium
Density. Residential Communities, is an urban category. Thus, a change in land
use designation is not necessary to expand the museum.
The segment of Red Road between SW 8 and SW 72 Streets, which provides
the access to the application site, was declared in 1989 by the Florida Legislature
(89 -383 Laws of Florida) as a State Historic. Highway which requires that no
funds shall be expended by any public agency for any purpose that would
change or impact the. historic character of the road, including changes to the
location or physical dimensions of the existing roadway, median strip or adjacent
lands.
