Amendment 96 -2ER (DCA No. 97 -1ER) i INTRODUCTION City of South Miami The City of South Miami is a municipality of just over 10,000 people, located within the urban area of Metropolitan Dade County, Florida, which has an overall population of about 2,000,000. The City is bisected by U.S. Highway 41 (US 1) which is a six -lane divided highway and the primary arterial for the southern portion of Dade County. US 1 directly links the southern portion of Dade County with the Interstate highway system. A portion of an elevated, rapid transit rail system and transit corridor is situated directly alongside US 1, and runs parallel to the highway through the City of South Miami. Comprehensive Plan On January 18, 1989, the City Commission of the City of South Miami adopted the City of South Miami Comprehensive Plan (the Plan) which contains the goals, objectives and policies of the City's vision for its future. The Plan is divided into various elements. The Future Land Use Element contains the first goal of the Plan: "To preserve and enhance the City's small town character." The Plan stresses the primacy of this goal, including language stating that "Preservation of the city's small town character is the most important goal of the comprehensive plan. It shall guide all land use decision making." The Plan then identifies objectives and policies to implement this first and primary goal. The second goal of the Plan is "To preserve and enhance the pedestrian character and comparison shopping function of the City's Sunset shopping area." Again, the Plan attributes importance to a specific goal, and includes that "Preserving and enhancing the vitality of the Sunset commercial area is the second most important goal of the comprehensive plan ". No other goal received ranked priority, and it is clear that all other goals in the Plan are subservient to these. Mass Transit System This County- operated, rapid transit rail system (Metrorail) transverses 21 miles of urban area within Dade County. Metrorail connects the Central Business District of the City of Miami (center of the metropolitan area and location of the main offices of Metro -Dade County government); University of Miami Medical Campus and Jackson Memorial Hospital (County hospital), University of Miami Main Campus, Dadeland Shopping Mall (a regional mall), and Datran Center (with a major hotel), within an overall system of 21 transit stations. Finally, Metrorail links to the Tri-Rail commuter rail system which serves three counties (Dade, Broward and Palm Beach) and includes 67 miles of railway. The Metrorail system includes a transit station located in the City of South Miami. Multi -modal Transportation Opportunities A shuttle bus route has been proposed to link the downtown, the transit station, two local hospitals and an adjacent multi - family residential area in the City. The Mayor has appointed a task force to study incentives for commercial redevelopment. One of the topics for the committee to investigate is the feasibility of a ground transportation network servicing the downtown retail core, the hospitals and the residential community near the Metrorail. In addition, the task force is assigned with the duty of organizing effective marketing promotions to meet the needs of the retail businesses. This could include effectively promoting and marketing the shuttle bus system which provides service to Metrorail station, downtown, the hospitals and the residential area adjacent to the transit corridor, as well as along all major arterials in the City. Amendment 96 -2ER (DCA No. 97 -IER) ii Hometown Urban Design Charrette During November 1992, the citizens of South Miami participated in a comprehensive study of the existing downtown shopping area via a broad - based, public participation, public input forum known as a "charrette ". The process was a joint effort between the City of South Miami and a private group of property owners and merchants in downtown (South Miami Hometown, Inc.). The private planning firm of Dover, Kohl & Partners was retained to facilitate the "charrette" proceedings. The process involves consultant -led focus groups with the intent of developing a graphic master plan for a specific geographic area within the existing overall community. Hometown Regulations On October 19, 1993, the City Commission of the City of South Miami adopted Ordinance No. 19 -93 -1545, known as the Hometown District Overlay Ordinance (HD) in response to the goals established in the Comprehensive Plan. The adopted legislation is designed to promote redevelopment of the Sunset shopping area (about 40 acres) and includes provisions for the enhancement of the pedestrian environment and the creation of a community identity for the City of South Miami. The legislation regulates and is applicable to a specific area which is defined by physical boundaries within the HD. The stated intent by the HD is to reinforce the goals of the Plan within an established, distinct, geographical district comprised of the existing downtown core area of South Miami, which is defined and entitled the Hometown District. The HD then sets forth both graphic and verbal directives to guide development within the district. Regulations are specifically designed to promote the activities of pedestrian users and encourage store -to- store, on -foot exploration and retail shopping by consumers. Architectural standards are established which are intended to yield a distinctive, traditional appearance for development and redevelopment projects. The standards are very specific for each building component (e.g., doors, windows, walls, arcades). Street standards are also established which reduce street width and driving lanes to slow vehicular movement with the intent of providing a safer and more pleasant environment for both vehicular users and pedestrian users. The HD also envisions a series of linked pedestrian arcades and canopies throughout the downtown to provide for the sheltered, safe and varied pedestrian environment. Hometown Too (Ii) Urban Design Charrette During July 1994, the community again gathered for workshops, discussion groups and intense round -table design sessions as part of the second charrette. This public participation function developed a physical master plan for a second and geographically larger area of the City. The proposed EAR -based Comprehensive Plan Amendments are the first step towards developing specific regulatory standards regarding the implementation of the ideas set forth in the second charrette. The resulting concepts that were generated from the charrette are similar to those in the first charrette. Similar zoning regulations are expected to be adopted subsequent to approval and adoption of the proposed 96 -2ER Comprehensive Plan Amendment Package. Amendment 96 -2ER (DCA No. 97 -1ER) iii AMENDMENT 1: MADISON SQUARE MIXED-USE LAND USE I mmi NN Mm"I rmull ME ■ "I NMI =11 cri 'low I. "MADISON SQUARE" AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the 1995 Future Land Use Map designation of Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four -Story) for those properties designated as "Madison Square" in the Hometown Too Charrette Study. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to change the 1995 Future Land Use Map designations on the properties indicated in the Hometown Too Charrette Study as Madison Square. The proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four -Story) land use designation described in the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report is the mixed -use category most appropriate for this location. The Hometown Too Charrette Study contains the following language under the section entitled Specific Proposals for the area indicated as Madison Square [S.W. 59h Place & 64h Street]: Madison Square (intersection of Church Street and Hardee Drive) Slightly raise the intersection and give the street a paving texture to create a special public plaza, tentatively called "Madison Square." Promote this location for private redevelopment or CDC redevelopment. Establish grants or loans for fagade improvements for existing buildings around the intersection. Benefits: Appearance improvements in this highly visible location will boost the neighborhood's self -image and foster investor confidence in the blighted area. Redevelopment around Madison Square will create jobs, foster small business, improve the tax base, and reduce security concerns. Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four -Story) land use designation and all proposed land use designations is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Language for the Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential designation is intended to apply to the "Madison Square" Amendment (I), " Charrette Too" Amendment (II), "Community Center" Amendment (V), and the "Hometown District" Amendment (VI). DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four- Story). The Madison Square project is one of four such amendments which include the " Charrette Too" Amendment (II), the "Community Center" Amendment (V) and the "Hometown District" Amendment (VI). The proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use designation is described as follows: The Mixed -Use Commercial /Residential land use category is intended to provide for different levels of retail 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 intensities 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 Traffic Circulation Element by encouraging use ofMetrorail system. Adjacent Land Use Designations Adjacent land use designations are illustrated on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. All of the properties surrounding Madison Square are designated as Single - Family Residential on the 1995 New Future Land Use Map. Effected Area The subject properties of Madison Square consist of the existing designated commercial area and the addition of four lots which are indicated in italics. The whole is legally described as follows: Lots 8 and 9, Block 2, Lots 6 and 7, Block 4, of the "Amended Plat of Hamlet" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 4 at Page 48, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 1, 2 and 3, Block 1, Lots 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18, Block 3, Lots 27, 28, 29 and 30, Block 5, Lots 40, 41, 42 and 43, Block 7, of the "Franklin" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 5 at Page 34, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida. Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Land Use Map shows the current use of the properties contained within the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use designation area. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. Current Land Use Designations and Areas The current land use designations for properties in the proposed Madison Square are indicated on the 1989 Future Land Use Map and include the two parcels north of S.W. 64 Street that are vacant and currently are designated as single - family residential. The properties south of the street are currently designated as Neighborhood Retail (a similar land use type, although limited to only two- stories). This amendment is a very minor expansion (the addition of four lots) to the existing commercial land use designation in order to accomplish a node with retail opportunities on the four corners of this intersection. The primary focus is to create a recognizable locus of activity in this area. The composition of the area is as follows: Four vacant lots designated single - family residential 0.30 acres Existing Neighborhood Retail designated area 2.11 acres Total 2.41 acres 2 PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT Existing infrastructure which provides water and sewer services to the effected area is in place. Supplemental upgrades to water and sewer service systems, if necessary, will be required in order to approve development. Solid waste capacity is available as described in the EAR. See Appendix 1 for the complete tables of impacts resulting from 96 -ER 1 and 96 -ER 2. The City desires to create regulations which would implement a 1:1:1 ratio for development of retail; office and residential uses within the district. Regulations could permit sharing among developments and /or properties of the three primary uses. Development at four stories would be permitted by right under the provisions of a quality-of- design regulatory package. Facilities Analysis This is an analysis of the net increase in public facility demand if the land in the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential District (Four -Story) is developed to the intended mix of land uses. For the purpose of analysis, a development and redevelopment goal of 25% for the district is assumed. The City is aware that this is an ambitious goal for a redevelopment district. The entire district is approximately 2.41 acres in area. Utilizing the 25% goal for development and redevelopment, in conjunction with the 1:1:1 ratio, an expected maximum new development and redevelopment floor area is calculated. Maximum development permitted is four stories. Parking, landscaping, and setbacks will restrict development potential. An F. A. R. of 0.5 per floor reflects reasonable expectations for development and is applied here for calculations. Sewage Impact The adopted LOS for sewage in the City of South Miami is 100 gallons per person per day. Measurability is based on County measures of capacity at service facilities. Metro -Dade County reports a total capacity of 318 millions of gallons per day (mgpd) for users, and 276.34 mgpd is utilized; therefore, the remaining available capacity is approximately 41.66 mgpd. For the purpose of calculating the impacts of each amendment on the capacity of sewage facilities, the remaining available capacity will be 41.66 mgpd minus the projected demand of all preceding amendments. Thus, the remaining available capacity for this amendment, 37.59 mgpd, is equal to 41.66 mgpd minus the projected demand of 96 -ER 1, 4.07 mgpd. The generation rates reported below are from the American Water Works Association (AMWA). Office generation rates are based upon the assumption that the occupancy of office space will be one employee per 100 square feet (South Florida Building Code). Residential generation rates are based upon the assumption that the average multi - family dwelling unit is 1200 square feet.

For the purpose of calculating the impacts of each amendment on the capacity of water facilities, the remaining available capacity will be 28.50 mgpd minus the projected demand of all preceding amendments. Thus, the remaining available capacity for this amendment, 24.40 mgpd, is equal to 28.50 mgpd minus the projected demand of 96 -ER 1, 4.10 mgpd.

For the purpose of calculating the impacts of each amendment on the capacity of solid waste facilities, the remaining available capacity will be 5.9 million tons minus the projected demand of all preceding amendments. Thus, the remaining available capacity for this amendment, 5.877 million tons, is equal to 5.9 million tons minus the projected demand of 96 -ER 1, 0.0277 million tons.

EAR -based population information indicates the City's population is currently 10,518 persons. The City currently provides approximately 51.36 acres of park land; therefore, the remaining capacity available is approximately 9.29 acres. This would permit a 2,323 person increase in the population while maintaining the City's recreational LOS standards. For the purpose of calculating recreation impacts, the remaining available capacity will be 9.29 acres minus the projected demand of all preceding amendments. Thus, the remaining available capacity for this amendment, 6.02 acres, is equal to 9.29 acres minus the projected demand of 96 -ER 1, 3.27 acres. For the purpose of calculations, it is assumed that the persons per square foot of residential use is one person per 480 square feet, based on an average multi - family dwelling unit size of 1200 square feet (conservative average) and an average occupancy of 2.5 (national Census standard).

Conclusion These comparisons illustrate that the expected density and intensity of development within the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential district will not reduce the levels -of- service for the City of South Miami. None of the calculated public facility impacts exceed existing capacity. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use Map to designate the proposed "Madison Square" Area with the Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use designation described in the EAR. The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates areas to be designated with the proposed land use designations. Amendment XV contains the language changes which amend the Future Land Use Categories and describe the specific nature of all designations. II. "CHARRETTE TOO" MIXED -USE LAND USE AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the 1995 Future Land Use Map designation of Mixed -Use CommerciaUResidential (Four -Story) for those properties identified as the " Charrette Too" Area in the Hometown Too Charrette Study. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to change the 1995 Future Land Use Map designations on the properties indicated in the Hometown Too Charrette Study and hereafter referred to as the Charrette Too Area. The proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four -Story) land use designation explained in the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report is the mixed -use land category most appropriate for this location. The Hometown Too Charrette Study contains the following language under the section entitled Specific Proposals regarding the subject area: SW 70 Street and SW 71' Street: Continuing the pioneering effort of the Hotel Vila, infill the oversize parking lots and vacant lots with new traditionally - scaled buildings. With the traffic rerouting for north bound US 1 motorists, properties fronting 70" Street will gain more visibility making redevelopment there more viable. The blocks north of SW 70" Street between SW 62nd Avenue and SW 59" Place should have mixed -use buildings on their south half and residential buildings (i.e., rowhouses) on their north half, to best face the Lee Park Cooperative townhouse complex. Benefits: Economic development plus improved character and vitality. Paul Tevis Drive (62' Avenue): From Hardee Drive south to SW 70* Street: • Reduce travel lanes from five lanes to two travel lanes and two parallel parking lanes. • Widen the sidewalks and create a green strip for street trees. • Restore parallel parking. • Clearly mark crosswalks with signs, street pavers, and traffic calming devices. • Infill new "Main Street" buildings on vacant land along west side. Land uses should be flexible, but building form and position strictly regulated to prevent "strip" development. Benefits: Improved safety for schoolchildren and other pedestrians, expanded business opportunities, and improved appearance. Traffic will move more carefully, and parking will be convenient for business. 7 Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four -Story) land use designation and all proposed land use designations is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Language for the Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential designation is intended to apply to the "Madison Square" Amendment (I), "Charrette Too" Amendment (II), "Community Center" Amendment (V), and the "Hometown District" Amendment (VI). DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Mixed -Use Commercial /Residential (Four- Story). The Charrette Too Area is one of four such amendments which include the "Madison Square" Amendment (i), the "Community Center" Amendment (V), and the "Hometown District" Amendment (VI). The proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use designations is described as follows: The Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use category is intended to provide for different levels of retail 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 intensities 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 Traffic Circulation Element by encouraging use ofMetrorail system. Adjacent Land Use Designations Adjacent land uses are illustrated on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. The properties surrounding the Charrette Too Area have the following proposed land use designations on the 1995 Future Land Use Map: Single Family Residential (Two - Story), Public Institutional Uses, Educational Uses, Multi- Family Residential (Four- Story), Residential Office Uses (Two - Story), and TODD (4 +4). Effected Area The subject area consists of existing commercial, public institutional, and residential properties. The whole is legally described as follows: Lots 1 -12, inclusive, Block 4, and all of Block 5, of the "Cocoplum Terrace Addition" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 48 at Page 38, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 1 -6, inclusive, Block 3, Lots 1 -5, inclusive, and East 35 feet of the South 100 feet of Lot 6 and the North 20 feet of the East 25 feet of Lot 6 and Lot 12 less the South 29.75 feet of the West 35 feet, Block 4, of the "Cocoplum Terrace" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 25 at Page 4, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 1 -18, inclusive, Block 14, Lots 1 -25, inclusive, Block 15, of the "Townsite of Larkins" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 2 at Page 105, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 1 -7, inclusive, Block 2, of the "Larkin Center" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 27 at Page 67, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 6- 12,inclusive, Block 2, Lots 1 -15, inclusive, Block 3, of the "Rosswood" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 13 at Page 62, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Tract 1 of the "Amended Plat of Commercial Larkins" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 38 at Page 5, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida. Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Land Use Map shows the current use of the properties contained within the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use designation area. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. Current Land Use Designations and Areas The current land use designations for properties in the Charrette Too Area are indicated on the 1989 Future Land use Map. This amendment is an ambitious attempt to revitalize the community with new commercial possibilities, and it will also provide the citizens with an opportunity to work, live, and play in the same area. The composition of the area is as follows: Existing Commercial Office Uses 1.57 acres Existing Commercial Retail 3.41 acres Existing Public Institutional 2.85 acres Existing Single Family 1.11 acres Existing Vacant Lands 5.27 acres Total 14.21 acres PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT Existing infrastructure which provides water and sewer services to the effected area is in place. Supplemental upgrades to water and sewer service systems, if necessary, will be required in order to approve development. Solid waste capacity is available as described in the EAR. See Appendix I for the complete table of impacts resulting from 96 -ER 1 and 96 -ER 2. The City desires to create regulations which would implement a 1:1:1 ratio for development of retail, office, and residential uses within the district. Regulations could permit sharing among developments and/or properties of the three primary uses. Development at four stories would be permitted by right under the provisions of a quality -of- design regulatory package. Facilities Analysis This is an analysis of the net increase in public facility demand if the land in the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential Area (Four -Story) is developed to the intended mix of land uses. For the purpose of analysis, a development and redevelopment goal of 25% of the area is assumed. The City is aware that this is an ambitious goal for a redevelopment district. The entire proposed Charrette Too area is approximately 14.21 acres. Utilizing the 25% goal for development and redevelopment, in conjunction with the 1:1:1 ratio, an expected maximum new development and redevelopment floor area is calculated. Maximum development permitted is four stories. Parking, landscaping, and setbacks will restrict development potential. An F.A.R. of 0.5 per floor reflects reasonable expectations for development and is applied here for calculations. W Sewage Impact The adopted LOS for sewage in the City of South Miami is 100 gallons per person per day. Measurability is based on County measures of capacity at service facilities. Metro -Dade County reports a total capacity of 318 mgpd is available for users, and the remaining capacity is approximately 37.41 mgpd (see Appendix I). The projected demand from this amendment is approximately 1.07 mgpd, therefore, the remaining capacity decreases to 36.34 mgpd, still well above baseline standards. Generation rates reported below are from the American Water Works Association (AMWA). Office generation rates are based upon the assumption that the occupancy of office space will be one employee per 100 square feet (South Florida Building Code). Residential generation rates are based upon the assumption that the average multi - family dwelling unit is 1200 square feet.

The remaining available capacity of park land would decrease to 5.02 acres above baseline standards. 11 Charrette Too Recreation Impact Land Use New Building Gross Area in square feet Projected Population Increase Projected Demand in acres Remaining Available Capacity in acres Sufficiency Yes /No Total Am 1 52,491 36 0.144 5.88 Yes Am II: Retail 1103,165 N/A N/A 15.88 IYes Office 103,165 N/A N/A 5.88 JYes Residential 103,165 1215 10.86 15.02 JYes Total Am II 1309,495 1215 10.86 15.02 IYes Transportation Impact The proposed Charrette Too Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use designation is served by S.W. 64 Street and S.W. 62 Avenue which are County section -line roadways and exempted from traffic concurrency pursuant to the County's adopted Urban Infill Area. Conclusion These comparisons illustrate that the expected density and intensity of development within the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential district will not reduce the levels -of- service for the City of South Miami. None of the calculated public facility impacts exceed existing capacity. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use Map to designate the "Charrette Too" area with the Mixed -Use Commercial /Residential (Four -Story) land use designation defined in the EAR. The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates areas to be designated with the proposed land use designations. Amendment XV contains the language changes which amend the Future Land Use Categories and describe the specific nature of all designations. 12 III. "MARSHALL WILLIAMSON PARK RECONFIGURATION AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the 1995 Future Land Use Map designations of Parks and Open Space and Public Institutional Uses (Four -Story) for the properties involved with and adjacent to the proposed reconfiguration of Marshall Williamson Park. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to change the 1995 Future Land Use Map designations on the properties involved with and adjacent to the proposed reconfiguration of the Marshall Williamson Park. The reconfiguration of the Park involves changing its current slanted "L" shape, into a more traditional rectangle. To accomplish this goal land which is not currently designated as Parks and Open Space must be so designated. Furthermore, the portions of the existing park that are not utilized in the new configuration will be designated as Public Institutional Uses (Four -Story) in order to maintain consistency with the adjoining, existing designated Public Institutional Uses area. Lastly, this amendment will designate the area that currently accommodates the government owned and operated Senior Citizens Complex, which is adjacent to both the current park and the designated Public Institutional Uses area, as Public Institutional Uses. Therefore, this amendment embodies the City's desire to simplify and improve the said area in one motion. The proposed Parks and Open Space land use designation described in the 1995 EAR is the most suitable for the reconfigured location of the Park. The land use designation of Public Institutional Uses is the most appropriate for the remaining portions of the existing park because of their adjacency to the existing Public Institutional Uses area. The proposed land use designation of Public Institutional Uses is also the most appropriate for the Senior Citizens Complex because it is government owned and it serves a municipal function. The Hometown Too Charrette Study contains the following language under the section entitled Specific Proposals for Marshall Williamson Park: Marshall Williamson Park: • Reconfigure the shape to form a traditional urban park. • Construct new buildings facing the park on the east and west. • Remove the berms. • Reconnect SW 68th Street. • Straighten SW 61st Court • Construct anew street between the park and the public housing complex. • Prepare southern end of reconfigured park as the site for a future civic building. Benefits: Removing the berms will make it easier for police and neighbors to monitor goings -on in the park. The park will be safer when the fronts of houses face it. By making the park rectangular in shape with the street changes, the park will no longer be a "leftover" between complexes and will have more usable public space... 13 Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Parks and Open Space land use designation, the Public Institutional Uses (Four- Story), and all proposed land use designations is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Language for the proposed Parks and Open Space is intended to apply to the "Marshall Williamson Park" Reconfiguration Amendment (III), the "Jean H. Willis Park" Preservation Amendment (VIII), and the "Little Park" Correction Amendment (XIV). Language for the proposed Public Institutional Uses is intended to apply to "Marshall Williamson Park" Reconfiguration Amendment (III), the "South Miami Hospital" Land Use Amendment (M, and the "South Miami Middle School" Correction Amendment (XI). DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designations The 1995 New Future Land Use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Parks and Open Space. The Marshall Williamson Park project is one of three such amendments which include the "Jean H. Willis Park" Preservation Amendment (VII) and the "South Miami Middle School' Correction Amendment (X). The proposed Parks and Open Space land use designation is described as follows: The parks and open space land use category is intended to provide for public parks and open space area including those associated with public schools. Sites designated parks and open space should not be used for other purposes without an amendment to this land use plan. Zoning regulations could permit park and open space uses on sites not so designated by this plan. Land exchange may precede amendment to this plan providing that levels of service established in the Recreation and Open Space Element are maintained, • this provision is included for the purpose ofproviding for land use designation offuture park reconfiguration. Zoning regulations should permit parks- related building projects on land designated as Parks and Open Space. The 1995 New Future Land Use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Public Institutional Uses (Four- Story). The Marshall Williamson Park project is one of three such amendments which include the "South Miami Hospital' Land Use Amendment (IX� and the "South Miami Middle School" Correction Amendment (XI). The proposed Public Institutional Uses (Four -Story) land designation is described as follows: The public institutional land use category is intended to provide for public schools, municipal facilities, utilities, churches, temples, synagogues and similar uses. Areas designated public and institutional should not be used for other purposes without an amendment to this plan. Zoning regulations could permit public and institutional uses on sites not so designated by this plan. Adjacent Land Use Designations Adjacent land uses are illustrated on the 1995 New Future Land Use Map. The properties surrounding the Marshall Williamson Park project are designated Single Family Residential (Two - Story), Public Institutional Uses (Four- Story), Townhouse Residential (Two- Story), and Educational Uses on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. 14 Effected Area The subject properties of the Marshall Williamson Park project consist of the existing designated Park area, the Low Density Multiple area, the Public and Semi - Public area, the Single Family Residential (Two -Story) area, and the adjacent street system, which includes SW 66h Terrace, SW 61' Court, and SW 68'h Street. A large portion of SW 61' Court and small portions of SW 66"' Terrace and SW 681 Street will be incorporated into the properties. The whole is legally described as follows: Lot 21, Block A, of the "Resubdivision of The Townsite" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 4 at Page 1, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, The West 94 feet, more or less of Tract D, all of Tracts E, F, G, and those portions of Southwest 68th Street, Southwest 66 Terrace, and Southwest 61 st Court lying adjacent thereto, of the "University Gardens" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 102 at Page 19, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida. Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Land Use Map shows the current use of the properties contained within the proposed Parks and Open Space land use designation area. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. Current Land Use Designations and Areas The current land use designations for the properties of the subject area are indicated on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. The North end of the proposed park currently acc omodates a Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sponsored Day Care Center and is currently designated Single Family Residential (Two- Story). The middle portion of the proposed Marshall Williamson Park is an undeveloped part of HUD's Public Housing Project, which is currently designated as Low Density Multiple (Two -Story) and a road, SW 61st Court. The South end of the proposed park is part of the existing Marshall Williamson Park and is currently designated as Parks and Open Space. The current site of the park is designated Parks and Open Space. The effected areas on the western side of the current park are currently designated Low Density Multiple and Public and Semi - Public. Parts of the adjacent street system will also be modified, and parts of Southwest 61st Court, Southwest 66th Terrace, and Southwest 68th Street will actually become incorporated into the project. This amendment attempts to reconfigure the park to a more traditional shape and to properly designate the adjoining land, which accommodates public buildings, as Public Institutional Uses (Four - Story). The reconfiguration of the park will also improve efficiency of the adjacent street system, while providing a beautiful backdrop which could spur new development in the area. In summary, the properties involved in the Marshall Williamson Park project are currently designated Single Family Residential (Two - Story), Low Density Multiple (Two - Story), Public and Semi Public (Four- Story), and Parks and Open Space on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. The composition of the area is as follows: Existing Park designated Parks and Open Space Existing designated Single Family Residential Existing designated Low Density Multiple Existing designated Public and Semi Public Existing Streets which will be utilized in the project 2.73 acres X0.65 acres 2.50 acres 1.29 acres 0.75 acres Total 7.93 acres 15 PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT Existing infrastructure which provides water and sewer services to the effected area is in place. Supplemental upgrades to water and sewer service systems, if necessary, will be required in order to approve development. This amendment will slightly increase available recreational facilities. No other public facilities will be impacted. For a complete picture of the public facilities impacts caused by this amendment and all others, see Appendix I. Recreation Impact The adopted LOS for park land in the City of South Miami is 4 acres per 1,000 population. EAR- based population information indicates the City's population is currently 10,518 persons. The City currently provides 51.36 acres of park land; therefore, the City's current LOS for park land exceeds the baseline requirement. The current Marshall Williamson Park occupies approximately 2.73 acres. The proposed reconfigured Marshall Williamson Park will also be approximately 2.73 acres, resulting in no loss of park land. Conclusion This amendment will create a more user - friendly Marshall Williamson Park, and it will simplify the land use scheme in the surrounding area. No levels -of- service will be decreased due to this amendment. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use Map to designate the proposed Marshall Williamson Park Reconfiguration Area with the appropriate land use designations as described by the EAR. The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates areas to be designated with the proposed land use designations. Amendment XV contains the language changes which amend the Future Land Use Categories and describe the specific nature of all designations. IR AMENDMENT IV: PARK VIEW TOWNHOUSES IV. "PARK VIEW TOWNHOUSES" LAND USE AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the 1995 Future Land Use Map land use designation of Multiple Family Residential (Four -Story) for Tracts C and D, plus their additions due to Amendment III, of the "University Gardens No. 3" Subdivision, hereafter known as the "Park View Townhouses." INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to change the 1995 Future Land Use Map designations on the properties identified as the 'Park View Townhouses." The proposed Multiple - Family Residential (Four -Story) land use designation described in the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report is the land use category most appropriate for this location. The City, in keeping with its goals of simplifying and condensing the land use code, has determined that the Low Density Multiple land use designation is redundant, and its objectives are met by the proposed Multiple Family Residential land use designation. Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Multiple - Family Residential (Four -Story) land use designation and all proposed land use designations is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Language for the Multiple - Family Residential (Four -Story) designation is intended to apply to the 'Park View Townhouse" Amendment (IV) and the "Multi - Family Singular Designation" Land Use Amendment (VII). DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Multiple- Family Residential (Four- Story). The proposed Multiple - Family Residential (Four -Story) land use designation is described as follows: The multiple family residential land use category is intended to provide for residential densities of yp to a maximum of 24 dwelling units per net acre. Multiple family residential development shall be designed in order to create environmentally - sensitive and well-landscaped settings with pedestrian and multi- modal, transit - oriented amenities. Zoning regulations shall be implemented to preserve the Mon densities of developed properties within established districts Designers should be encouraged to produce unique, flexible, multi -level projects, such as mixed -use developments, including retail and office uses on ground floor levels. Zoning regulations for the proposed Park View Townhouse area should include an option whereby townhouse developments could be permitted at densities not to exceed 24 dwelling unit per acre. 17 Adjacent Land Use Designations Adjacent land uses are illustrated on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. The properties surrounding the proposed 'Park View Townhouses" are designated as Single Family, Park and Open Spaces, Multiple - Family Residential (Four- Story), Mixed -Use Land Use (Four- Story), and TODD (4 +4) on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. Effected Area The subject properties of the proposed 'Park View Townhouses" consist of the existing Dade County Housing and Urban Development Public Housing Complex and a portion of S.W. 61st Court. The whole is legally described as follows: Tract "C" and Tract "D" of the "University Gardens No. 3" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 102 at Page 19, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida. Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Land Use Map shows the current use of the properties contained within the proposed Multiple - Family Residential land use designation area. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. Current Land Use Designations and Areas The current land use designations for properties in the proposed 'Park View Townhouses" Area are indicated on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. The majority of the proposed area is currently designated Low Density Multiple (Two- Story), however, portions of the future Park View Townhouses currently serve as Southwest 68th Street and the Southeast comer of the Marshall Williamson Park (see Amendment III). This amendment is an attempt to improve the Public Housing Complex by transforming the "projects" into a more traditional neighborhood that will have a beautiful view overlooking the reconfigured Marshall Williamson Park. The proposed Multiple - Family Residential designation allows for townhouse development at higher densities than permitted by the Townhouse Residential category. Therefore, this amendment allows for the projects to be changed into a traditional neighborhood while still providing an adequate quantity of housing. The composition of the area is as follows: Existing HUD tract "C" 3.26 acres Existing HUD tract 'D" 3.79 acres and reconfigured addition Total 7.05 acres PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT Existing infrastructure which provides water and sewer services to the effected area is in place. Supplemental upgrades to water and sewer service systems, if necessary, will be required in order to approve development. Solid waste capacity is available as described in the EAR. See Appendix I for the complete tables of impacts resulting from 96 -ER 1 and 96 -ER 2. Facilities Analysis This is an analysis of the net increase in public facility demand if the land in the proposed Multiple - Family Residential (Four -Story) area is developed and redeveloped 100 %. M The proposed "Park View Townhouses" area is 7.05 acres. Under the parcels' current designation of Low Density Multiple - Family Residential (Two- Story), 100% development would allow 127 units. Under the regulations of the proposed Multiple - Family Residential (Four -Story) land use designation, 100% redevelopment would result in 180 units, a 41.7% increase. Therefore, the application of the proposed land use designation of Multiple - Family Residential (Four -Story) to the "Park View Townhouses" area will also result in an increase on the public facilities impact. Sewage Impact The adopted LOS for sewage in the City of South Miami is 100 gallons per person per day. Measurability is based on County measure of capacity at service facilities. Metro -Dade County reports a total capacity of 318 mgpd is available for users, and the remaining capacity is approximately 36.34 mgpd (see Appendix I). The projected demand from this amendment is approximately 0.012 mgpd, therefore, the remaining capacity decreases to 36.33 mgpd, still well above baseline standards. Generation rates reported below are from the American Water Works Association (AMWA). Office generation rates are based upon the assumption that the occupancy of office space will be one employee per 100 square feet (South Florida Building Code). Residential generation rates are based upon the assumption that the average multi - family dwelling unit is 1200 square feet.

No new study is proposed or required under Rule 9J -5. The existing local, municipal roadway system infrastructure is in place; and, no widenings are permitted pursuant to the adopted Goals, Objectives and Policies. Conclusion These comparisons illustrate that the expected density and intensity of development within the proposed Multi - Family Singular Designation Area will not reduce the levels of service for the City of South Miami. None of the calculated public facility impacts exceed existing capacity. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use Map to designate the proposed "Park View Townhouses" area with the proposed Multiple Family Residential land use designation described in the EAR. The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates areas to be designated with the proposed land use designations. Amendment XV contains the language changes which amend the Future Land Use Categories and'describe the specific nature of all designations. 21 AMENDMENT V: COMMUNITY CENTER MI)XED-USE LAND USE Vim! V. "COMMUNITY CENTER" MIXED -USE LAND USE AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the 1995 Future Land Use Map land use designation of Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four -Story) for those properties immediately South of Murray Park. The Hometown Too Charrette has identified a portion of the said properties as the location for a community center, and has realized the opportunity to vitalize the block's remaining underutilized commercial by employing the mixed -use land use designation. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to change the 1995 Future Land Use Map designations on those properties immediately South of Murray Park. The proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four -Story) land use designation described in the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report is the mixed - use category most appropriate for this location because it would allow the proposed Community Center to be considered for upward expansion to four stories. The Hometown Too Charrette Study supports the City's desire to utilize mixed -use land categories; and, the Hometown Too Charrette Study contains the following language concerning land uses: Unlike in the first charrette project area, part of this project area contains a strong mix of building uses. This is important because it provides the opportunity to live close to work and shopping without total dependence on cars. Commercial uses which provide basic daily needs such as banks, grocery stores, hair salons, hardware stores, restaurants, and civic uses such as the post office, library, daycare, and places of worship are very important to the sustainable growth of the community. Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four -Story) land use designation and all proposed land use designations is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Language for the Mixed -Use Commerciai/Residential designation is intended to apply to the "Community Center" Amendment (V), the "Madison Square" Amendment (I), " Charrette Too" Amendment (III), and the "Hometown District" Amendment (VI). DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 Future Land Use map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four - Story). The "Community Center" Amendment (V) is one of four such amendments which include the "Madison Square" Amendment 22 (I), the "Charrette Too" Amendment (11), and the "Hometown District' Amendment (VI). The proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use designation is described as follows: The Mixed -Use Comm ercial/Residential land use category is intended to provide for different levels of retail 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 intensities 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 Traffic Circulation Element by encouraging use ofMetrorail system. Adjacent Land Use Designations Adjacent land uses are illustrated on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. The properties surrounding the proposed Community Center are designated as Parks and Open Space, Townhouse Residential (Two - Story), Public Institutional Uses (Four- Story), and TODD (4 +4) on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. Effected Area The subject properties of the proposed Community Center consist of the existing Low Intensity Office area. The whole is legally described as follows: Lots 10 to 26, inclusive, Block 8 of the "Townsite of Larkins" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 2 at Page 105, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida. Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Land Use map shows the current use of the properties contained within the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use designation area. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. Current Land Use Designations and Areas The current land use designation for the site of the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential area is indicated on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. The properties surrounding the proposed Community Center are designated as Low Intensity Office (Two- Stories), Low Density Multiple (Two - Stories), Parks and Open Space, and Public and Semi Public (Four -Story) on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. This amendment attempts to enhance the community by replacing vacant land with a community center and fostering the potential for mixed -use land development in place of underutilized commercial space. The composition of the area is as follows: Eight vacant lots designated 0.67 acres Low Intensity Office (2- stories) Existing Warehouse Facility 0.42 acres designated Low Intensity Office (2- stories) Existing Architecture Office 0.37 acres designated Low Intensity Office (2- stories) Total 1.46 acres 23 PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT Existing infrastructure which provides water and sewer services to the effected area is in place. Supplemental upgrades to water and sewer service systems, if necessary, will be required in order to approve development. Solid waste capacity is available as described in the EAR See Appendix 1 for the complete tables of impacts resulting from 96 -ER 1 and 96 -ER 2. The City desires to create regulations which would implement a 1:1:1 ratio for development of retail, office, and residential uses within the district. Regulations could permit sharing among developments and/or properties of the three primary uses. Development at four stories would be permitted by right under the provisions of a quality-of- design regulatory package. Facilities Analysis This is an analysis of the net increase in public facility demand if the land in the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential Area (Four -Story) is developed to the intended mix of land uses. For the purpose of analysis, a development and redevelopment goal of 50% of the area is assumed. The City is aware that this is an ambitious goal for a redevelopment area. The entire proposed area is approximately 1.46 acres in area. Utilizing the 50% goal for development and redevelopment, in conjunction with the 1:1:1 ratio, an expected maximum new development and redevelopment floor area is calculated. Maximum development permitted is four stories. Parking, landscaping, and setbacks will restrict development potential. An FAR of 0.5 per floor reflects reasonable expectations for development and is applied here for calculations. Sewage Impact The adopted LOS for sewage in the City of South Miami is 100 gallons per person per day. Measurability is based on County measure of capacity at service facilities. Metro -Dade County reports a total capacity of 318 mgpd is available for users, and the remaining capacity is approximately 36.33 mgpd (see Appendix I). The projected demand from this amendment is approximately 0.22 mgpd, therefore, the remaining capacity decreases to 36.11 mgpd, still well above baseline standards. Generation rates reported below are from the American Water Works Association (AMWA). Office generation rates are based upon the assumption that the occupancy of office space will be one employee per 100 square feet (South Florida Building Code). Residential generation rates are based upon the assumption that the average multi- family dwelling unit is 1200 square. feet.

Measurability is based on County measures of capacity at service facilities. Metro -Dade County reports that a total capacity of 16.9 million tons is available for users, and the remaining capacity available is 5.870 million tons. The projected demand from this amendment is approximately 0.0012 million tons, therefore, the remaining capacity decreases to 5.868 million tons, still well above baseline standards.

The existing local, municipal roadway system infrastructure is in place; and, no widenings are permitted pursuant to the adopted Goals, Objectives and Policies. Conclusion These comparisons illustrate that the expected density and intensity of development within the proposed Mixed -Use CommerciaVResidential area will not reduce the levels of service for the City of South Miami. None of the calculated public facility impacts exceed existing capacity. 26 PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use Map to designate the properties directly South of Murray Park with the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use designation described in the EAR. The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates areas to be designated with the proposed land use designations. Amendment XV contains the language changes which amend the Future Land Use Categories and describe the specific nature of all designations. 27 VI. "HOMETOWN DISTRICT" MIXED -USE LAND USE AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the 1995 Future Land Use Map land use designation of Mixed -Used Commercial/Residential (Four -Story) for those properties designated as the "Hometown District." INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to change the 1995 Future Land Use Map designations on the properties identified as the Hometown District. The proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four -Story) land use designation explained in the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report is the mixed - use land category most appropriate for this location. The City has determined that the Hometown District should be designated as Mixed -Use Commercial/ Residential because it fosters the coordinated, sensible development of the area. Article VII of the City of South Miami's Land Development Code states the following about the Hometown District: These new regulations intend to invigorate the economic and social vitality of South Miami's "main street" business center, distinct from Dadeland -type malls and West Kendall -type strip development... Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four -Story) land use designation and all proposed land use designations is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Language for the Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential designation is intended to apply to the "Hometown District" Amendment (VI), the "Madison Square" Amendment (I), the "Chanette Too" Amendment (I1), and the "Community Center" Amendment (V). DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (Four - Story). The "Hometown District" is one of four such amendments which include the "Madison Square" Amendment (I), the "Charrette Too" Amendment (I[), and the "Community Center" Amendment (V). The proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use designation is described as follows: The Mixed -Use Commercial /Residential land use category is intended to provide for different levels of retail 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 intensities shall be set forth in the Land Development Code. Regulations regarding 28 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 Traffic Circulation Element by encouraging use ofMetrorail system. Adjacent Land Use Designations Adjacent land uses are illustrated on the 1995 New Future Land Use Map. The properties surrounding the "Hometown District" are designated as Multi - Family Residential (Four- Story), Townhouse Residential (Four- Story), and Residential Office Uses (Two- Story). Effected Area The subject properties of the "Hometown District" consist of the existing retail/residential and office area. The whole is legally defined as follows: Lots 1 -20, inclusive, of the "Cooper's Subdivision," according to the plat therof, as recorded in Plat Book 4 at Page 152, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 1 -35, inclusive, Block 1, Lots 1 -22, inclusive, Block 2, of the "Carvers" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 6 at Page 36, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 1 -35, inclusive, of the "Doms" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 3 at Page 199, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 1 -75, inclusive, of the "W.A. Larkins" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 3 at Page 198, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 1 -12, inclusive, Block 1, Lots 1 -11, inclusive, Block 2, of the "Solovoff' Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 7 at page 11, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 1 -3, inclusive, Lots 26 -31, inclusive, Lots 54 -56, inclusive, of the "American Townsites Company's Sub - Division No. 1 of Larkin" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 3 at Page 134, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 1 -6, inclusive, Block 1, of the "Fairglade Manor" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 45 at Page 79, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 1 -7, inclusive, Lots 19 -34, inclusive, of the "Larkins Forest Amended" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat 33 at Page 44, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 1 -5, inclusive, Block 1, of the "Larkins Pines" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat 24 at Page 20, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida. Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Future Land Use Map shows the current use of the properties contained within the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use designation area. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. 29 Current Land Use Designations and Areas The current land use designations for properties in the proposed "Hometown District" are indicated on the 1989 Future Land Use Map and include properties which are currently Specialty Retail/Residential (Four- Story), Neighborhood Retail (Two- Story), Residential Office (Two - Story), and Medium Density Multiple (Four - Story). This amendment is a streamlining of the existing land use designations. The five existing land use designations will be replaced by the Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential land use designation; this will allow existent structures to remain, and new structures to cater to a community that wishes to live, work, and shop in the same area. The composition of the area is as follows: Existing Specialty Retail/Residential (4 stories) 33.93 acres Existing Neighborhood Retail (2 stories) 2.69 acres Existing Residential Office (2 stories) 0.69 acres Existing Medium Density Multiple (4 stories) 3.30 acres Total 40.61 acres PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT Existing infrastructure which provides water and sewer services to the effected area is in place. Supplemental upgrades to water and sewer service systems, if necessary, will be required in order to approve development. Solid waste capacity is available as described in the EAR See Appendix 1 for the complete tables of impacts resulting from 96 -ER 1 and 96 -ER 2. The City desires to create regulations which would implement a 1:1:1 ratio for development of retail, office, and residential uses within the district. Regulations could permit sharing among developments and/or properties of the three primary uses. Development at four stories would be permitted by right under the provision of a quality-of- design regulatory package. Facilities Analysis This is an analysis of the net increase in public facility demand if the land in the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial Residential District (Four -Story) is developed to the intended. mix of land uses. For the purpose of analysis, a development and redevelopment goal of 25% of the district is assumed. The City is aware that this is an ambitious goal for a redevelopment district. The properties in the proposed district comprise approximately 40.61 acres. Utilizing the 25% goal for development and redevelopment, in conjunction with the 1:1:1 ratio, an expected maximum new development and redevelopment floor area is calculated. Maximum development permitted is four stories. Parking, landscaping, and setbacks will restrict development potential. An F.A.R of 0.5 per floor reflects reasonable expectations for development and is applied here for calculations. Sewage Impact The adopted LOS for sewage in the City of South Miami is 100 gallons per person per day. Measurability is based on County measure of capacity at service facilities. Metro-Dade County reports a total capacity of 318 mgpd is available for users, and the remaining capacity is approximately 36. 11 mgpd (see Appendix I). The projected demand from this amendment is approximately 3.06 mgpd, therefore, the remaining capacity decreases to 33.05 mgpd, still well above baseline standards. Generation rates reported below are from the American Water Works Association (AMWA). Office generation rates are based upon the assumption that the occupancy of office space 30 will be one employee per 100 square feet (South Florida Building Code).

The LOS (level -of- service) for U.S. 1 is set forth in the Traffic Circulation (Transportation) Element and traffic concurrency will be evaluated on a project -by- project basis utilizing the City's adopted Concurrency Management System (CMS). Conclusion These comparisons illustrate that the expected density and intensity of development within the proposed Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential area will not reduce the levels of service for the City of South Miami. None of the calculated public facility impacts exceed existing capacity. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use Map to designate the properties identified as the Hometown District with the land use designation described in the EAR.

"MULTI- FAMILY SINGULAR DESIGNATION" LAND USE AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the 1995 New Future Land Use Map land use designation of Multiple Family Residential (Four -Story) for those properties currently designated Low Density Multiple (Two -Story) on the 1989 Future Land Use Map and which are not specifically addressed in any of the other amendments in the 96 -ER 2. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to change the 1995 Future Land Use Map designation on those properties which are currently designated as Low Density Multiple (Two -Story) and which are not specifically addressed in any of the other 96 -ER 2 amendments. The proposed Multiple Family Residential (Four -Story) land use designation described in the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report is the most appropriate land use category for these properties. The City, in keeping with its goals of simplifying and condensing the land use code, has determined that the Low Density Multiple land use designation is redundant, and its objectives are met by the proposed Multiple Family Residential land use designation. Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Multiple Family Residential (Four -Story) land use designation and all proposed land use designations is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan, DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Multiple Family Residential (Four - Story). The proposed Multiple Family Residential (Four -Story) land use category is described as follows: The multiple family residential land use category is intended to provide for residential densities of yp to a maximum of 24 dwelling units per net acre. Multiple family residential development shall he designed in order to create environmentally - sensitive and well - landscaped settings with pedestrian and multi - modal, transit- oriented amenities Zoning regulations shall be implemented to presery e the existing densities of developed pMperties within established districts Designers should be encouraged to produce unique, flexible, multi -level projects, such as mixed -use developments, including retail and office uses on ground floor levels Zoning regulations for the proposed Park New Townhouse area should include an option whereby townhouse developments could be permitted at densities not to exceed 24 dwelling unit per acre. 34 Adjacent Land Use Designations Adjacent land use designations are illustrated on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. The properties surrounding the subject properties are designated Multiple Family Residential (Four- Story), Single Family Residential (Two- Story), and Townhouse Residential (Two -Story) on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. Effected Area The subject properties consist of the existing designated Low Density Multiple area between 74th and 76th Streets. The whole is legally described as follows: Lots 8 -14, inclusive, Block 2, of the Larkin Pines Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 24 at page 20, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 10 -14, inclusive, 18 -20, inclusive, 36 -39, inclusive, and 4648, inclusive, of the American Townsites Company's Subdivision No 1 of Larkin, as recorded in Plat Book 3 at page 134, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Lots 10 and 11, of the Field Villas Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 47 at page 98, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida. Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Land use map shows the current use of the properties contained within the proposed Multiple Family Residential area. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. Current Land Use Designations and Areas The current land use designation for the subject properties are indicated on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. On the 1989 Future Land Use Map, the surrounding properties are designated as Medium Density Multiple (Four- Story), Townhouse (Two- Story), and Single - Family (Two - Story). This amendment is an attempt to consolidate the Multiple Family Residential land use designations under one coherent land use designation. The composition of the area is as follows: Existing Low Density Multiple 4.04 acres PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT Existing infrastructure which provides water and sewer services to the effected area is in place. Supplemental upgrades to water and sewer service systems, if necessary, will be required in order to approve development. Solid waste capacity is available as described in the EAR See Appendix 1 for the complete tables of impacts resulting from 96 -ER 1 and 96 -ER 2. Facilities Analysis This is an analysis of the net increase in public facility demar9 if the subject properties are developed or redeveloped to their maximum density. The City, however, does not wish or expect the subject properties to undertake development or redevelopment. The maximum allowable development and redevelopment of the subject properties under the stipulations of the current designation, Low - Density Multiple, would allow 73 units. The proposed Multiple Family Residential land use designation would allow 97 units. Therefore, the proposed Multiple Family Residential land use designation could have a greater impact on public facilities, and 35 the potential, but doubtful, increase of 24 units will be used to calculate the impacts on.public facilities. Sewage Impact The adopted LOS for sewage in the City of South Miami is 100 gallons per person per day. Measurability is based on County measure of capacity at service facilities. Metro -Dade County reports a total capacity of 318 mgpd is available for users, and the remaining capacity is approximately 33.06 mgpd (see Appendix I). The projected demand from this amendment is approximately 0.0055 mgpd, therefore, the remaining capacity decreases to 33.05 mgpd, still well above baseline standards. Generation rates reported below are from the American Water Works Association (AMWA). Office generation rates are based upon the assumption that the occupancy of office space will be one employee per 100 square feet (South Florida Building Code). Residential generation rates are based upon the assumption that the average multi - family dwelling unit is 1200 square feet.

Conclusion These comparisons illustrate that the expected density and intensity of development within the proposed Multi - Family Singular Designation Area will not reduce the levels of service for the City of South Miami. None of the calculated public facility impacts exceed existing capacity. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use Map to designate the properties identified as the Multi- Family Singular Designation Area with the land use designation of Multiple Residential (Four -Story) described in the EAR. The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates areas to be designated with the proposed land use designations. Amendment XV contains the language changes which amend the Future Land Use Categories and describe the specific nature of all designations. 38 VIII. JEAN H. WILLIS PARK PRESERVATION AND THE SYLVA G. MARTIN PARK DESIGNATION AMENDMENT VIII. JEAN H. WILLIS PARK PRESERVATION AND SYLVA G. MARTIN PARK DESIGNATION AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to retain the previous land use designation of Parks and Open Space for the area known as the Jean H. Willis Park, and to implement the Parks and Open Space land use designation for the Sylva Martin Building and its front parking lot, hereafter to be referred to as the Sylva G. Martin Park. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to retain the previous land use designation, Parks and Open Space, for the Jean H. Willis Park, and to implement the Parks and Open Space land use designation for the proposed Sylva G. Martin Park. The proposed Parks and Open Space land use designation is the appropriate land use category for this location. The Hometown Too Charrette Study contains the following language under the section entitled Specific Proposals for City Hall: Relocate the parking lot in front of the Sylva Martin Building and restore the historic Palm Crescent park. Benefits: The park will eradicate the visual blight created by the asphalt parking lot. The park will beautifully showcase the Sylva Martin Building, providing a respite from the drudgery of urbanized areas and inspiring a sense of city pride. Originally, the Jean H. Willis park, located on 61st Court, across from City Hall, was envisioned to be relocated to the front parking lot of the Sylva Martin Building. Public concern over this proposal, however, has led the local planning agency to propose that the Jean H. Willis Park retain its previous land use designation, and to create the Sylva G. Martin Park by designating the area with the Parks and Open Space land use designation. Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Parks and Open Space land use designation and of all proposed land use designations is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Language for the Parks and Open Space designation is intended to apply to the "Marshall Williamson Park" Reconfiguration Amendment (III), "Jean H. Willis Park" Land Use Relocation Amendment (VIII), and the "South Miami Middle School" Corrections Amendment (XI). DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates the areas to be designated Parks and Open Space. The Jean H. Willis Park Preservation and Sylva G. Martin Designation Amendment is one of three such amendments which include the "Marshall Williamson Park" Amendment (II)), and the "South Miami Middle School" Corrections Amendment (XI). The Park and Open Space land use designation is described as follows: The parks and open space land use category is intended to provide for public parks and open space area, including those associated with public schools. Sites designated parks and open space should not be used for other purposes without an amendment to this land use plan. Zoning regulations could 1. 39 permit park and open space uses on sites not so designated by this plan. Land exchange may precede amendnent to this plan providing that levels of service established in the Recreation and Open Space Element are maintained, this provision is included for the purpose ofprovidingfor land use designation offuture park reconfiguration. Zoning regulations should permit parks- related building projects on land designated as Parks and Open Space. Adjacent Land Use Designations Adjacent land uses are illustrated on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. The properties surrounding the proposed sites are designated as transit oriented development district (TODD) and public institutional. Effected Area The affected properties consist of the current Jean H. Willis Park and the Sylva G. Martin Building and its adjoining front parking lot. The area is legally described as follows: Lots 17 -20, inclusive, and the northern most 20 feet of lot 21, of the 'Revised Poinciana Park" Subdivision, according to the plat thereof, as recorded in Plat Book 41 at page 41, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida; and, Begin 50 feet South and 96.4 feet West of the Northeast corner of Northwest 1/4 of Northwest 1/4 of the Northeast 1/4, West 233.7 feet South 103.1 feet, East 74.1 feet, South 50.2 feet, East 52.6 feet, North 16.1 feet, East 9.65 feet, N 2.2 feet, East 14.7 feet, North 3 1. 1 feet, East 82.8 feet, North 103.1 feet to the Point of Beginning, Section 36, Township 54 South, Range 40 East, containing .63 acres more or less, in the City of South Miami, County of Dade, State of Florida as embraced in Certificate Number 2360. Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Land Use Map shows the current use of the properties within the proposed Parks and Open Space land use designation areas. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. Current Land Uses in Effected Area The current land use designations for the properties are indicated on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. The proposed Sylva G. Martin Park is currently designated as Public and Semi - Public (Four- Story). The existing Jean H. Willis Park is currently designated with the TODD land use designation. This amendment allows the City to retain the Jean H. Willis Park and to create the Slyva G. Martin Park. The composition of the areas are as follows: Front parking lot of the Sylva Martin Building 0.55 acres designated Public and Semi - Public (Four -Story) Slyva Martin Building designated Public 0.08 acres and Semi - Public (Four -Story) Jean H. Willis Park currently designated Transit 0.63 acres Oriented Development District (4 +4) Total 1.26 acres EE PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT This amendment will not cause any significant public facilities impact. But because the acreage of the current Jean H. Willis Park was utilized to calculate the impacts of the Transit Oriented Development District in the 96 -ER 1, this amendment will cause a slight reduction to the calculated impacts on public facilities. Facilities Analysis This is an analysis of the net decrease in public facility demand that will occur from changing the land use designation of the Jean H. Willis Park from TODD to Parks and Open Space. For the purposes of this amendment, however, an assumption will be made that there is no increase in sewer, water, drainage, solid waste, transportation, and recreation facility requirements negative or positive, solely for the purpose of calculating impacts. Conclusions The preservation of the previous land use designation for the Jean H. Willis Park and the addition of the Sylva G. Martin Park will greatly enhance the beauty of the City. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use Map to preserve the Jean H. Willis Park and to designate the Sylva G. Martin Building and its adjoining front parking lot as Parks and Open Space as set forth in the EAR. The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates areas to be designated with the proposed land use designations. Amendment XV contains the language changes which amend the Future Land Use Categories and describe the specific nature of all designations. 41 AMENDMENT IX: SOUTH MIAMI HOSPITAL LAND USE IX. "SOUTH MIAMI HOSPITAL" LAND USE AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the 1995 New Future Land Use Map land use designation of Public Institutional Uses for those properties contained in the South Miami Hospital Planned Unit Development. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to change the 1995 New Future Land Use Map designations for the properties acquired by South Miami Hospital. The hospital acquired two buildings which were adjacent to its main campus. The proposed Public Institutional Uses land use designation described in the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report is the land category most appropriate for this location. Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Public Institutional Uses (Four -Story) land use designation and all proposed land use designations is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Language for the Public Institutional Uses designation is intended to apply to the "Marshall Williamson Park" Reconfiguration Amendment (III) and the "South Miami Hospital' Land Use Amendment (IX). DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 New Future Land Use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Public Institutional Uses. The "South Miami Hospital' Amendment is one of two such amendments which include the "Marshall Williamson Park" Reconfiguration Amendment (III). The proposed Public Institutional Uses land use designation is described as follows: The public institutional land use category is intended to provide for public schools, municipal facilities, utilities, churches, temples, synagogues and similar uses. Areas designated public and institutional should not be used for other purposes without an amendment to this plan. Zoning regulations could permit public and institutional uses on sites not so designated by this plan. Adjacent Land Use Designations Adjacent land uses are illustrated on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. The properties adjacent to the South Miami Hospital and its related service facilities are designated Public Institutional. Effected Area The subject properties of South Miami Hospital consist of the nine lots which were added to the main campus. The whole is legally described as follows: Lots 13 -21, inclusive, of the "W.A. H. Hobbs " Subdivision, according to the plat therof, as recorded in Plat Book 4 at page 111, of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida. 42 Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Land Use map shows the current use of the properties contained within the proposed Public Institutional Uses land use designation area. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. Current Land Use Designations and Areas The current land use designation for the subject properties of South Miami Hospital are indicated on the 1989 Future Land Use map and include areas which are currently designated Medium Intensity Office (Four- Story). This amendment is the recognition of the subject properties as part of South Miami Hospital. The composition of the area is as follows: Newly acquired Properties 1.67 acres designated Medium Intensity Office (4 stories) PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT South Miami Hospital is an existing Planned Unit Development subject to a development order issued prior to January 18, 1989 (adoption date of the Comprehensive Plan); and, is therefore, exempted from concurrency review. In addition, the existing, approved overall floor area was decreased in response to the inclusion of the land area encompassed by this amendment. Conclusion This amendment is synchronous with the City's desire to streamline and improve the coherency of the existing land use scheme. This amendment expresses the City's wish to properly display South Miami Hospital's acquired land with the appropriate land use designation. Because this amendment is a "name change" it in no way jeopardizes the levels -of- service in the City of South Miami. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use Map to designate the boundaries for the South Miami Hospital and its related service facilities as Public Institutional Uses (Four -Story) as defined in the EAR. The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates areas to be designated with the proposed land use designations. Amendment XV contains the language changes which amend the Future Land Use Categories and describe the specific nature of all designations. LL AMENDMENT X: SOUTH MIAMI SHOPPING CENTER LAND USE 09 m =E= X. "SOUTH MIAMI SHOPPING CENTER" LAND USE AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the 1995 Future Land Use designation of Townhouse Residential (Two -Story) for the property currently accommodating the rear parking lot of the South Miami Shopping Center. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to change the 1995 New Future Land Use Map designation on the property that currently accommodates the rear parking lot of the South Miami Shopping Center from its current designation of Residential Office to the more appropriate proposed land use designation of Townhouse Residential (Two- Story). Originally, the property was designated Residential Office to buffer the surrounding residential area from the Commercial Retail property. The property, however, is utilized as the South Miami Shopping Centers rear parking lot. Therefore, to assure that any future changes to the parking lot will not adversely impact the surrounding residential neighborhood, the City wishes to designate the parking lot as Townhouse Residential (Two- Story). Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Townhouse Residential (Two -Story) land use designation and all proposed land use designations is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 New Future Land Use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Townhouse Residential (Two- Story). The proposed Townhouse Residential (Two - Story) land use category is described as follows: The townhouse residential category is intended to limit development to townhouse -type dwelling units on parcels of land not less than 10, 000 square feet in area Each dwelling unit should have its own at -grade direct access from the out -of- doors. Townhouse dwelling units should be developed at densities that do not exceed one dwelling unit per 7,260 square feet of site area Individual parcels which meet the minimum site size of 10,000 square feet in area could be developed for use as single-family residential dwellings units. Zoning regulations which implement the townhouse category shall prohibit two-family structures; and one single-family structure may be permitted to secure a vested right to use any legally created parcel which does not meet the minimum lot size requirements of this plan andlor the zoning ordinance. Adjacent Land Use Designations Adjacent land uses are illustrated on the 1995 New Future Land Use Map. LL•! Effected Area The subject property of the South Miami Shopping Center consists of the existing rear parking lot which is designated as Residential Office (Two - Story). The whole is legally described as follows: The North 151.07 feet of the East 305 feet of Tract 2, less the east 10 feet for the public right -of -way, Amended Plat of Blocks 1,2, &3 of Amended Plat of Palm Miami Heights according to the plat thereof, recorded in Plat Book 38 at Page 52 of the Public Records of Dade County, Florida. Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Land Use Map shows the current use of the properties contained within the proposed Townhouse Residential (Two -Story) land use designation area. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. Current Land Use Designations and Areas The current land use designation for the property that accommodates the rear parking lot of the South Miami Shopping Center is Residential Office as indicated on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. The rear parking lot is 1.02 acres in area. PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT The City expects that the existing parking lot will continue in its current form, and the amendment will not impact public facilities. However, as a precaution, the City will calculate the maximum impacts the property could have on public facilities if it were developed to its maximum potential. The entire property is approximately 1.02 acres in area. Utilizing the 100% possibility for development and redevelopment, a maximum of six units could be built. Sewage Impact The adopted LOS for sewage in the City of South Miami is 100 gallons per person per day. Measurability is based on County measure of capacity at service facilities. Metro -Dade County reports a total capacity of 318 mgpd is available for users, and the remaining capacity is approximately 33.05 mgpd (see Appendix I). The projected demand from this amendment is approximately 0.00 14 mgpd, therefore, the remaining capacity decreases, but it is so insignificant that after rounding to significant digits the remaining available capacity remains at 33.05, still well above baseline standards. Generation rates reported below are from the American Water Works Association (AMWA). Office generation rates are based upon the assumption that the occupancy of office space will be one employee per 100 square feet (South Florida Building Code). Residential generation rates are based upon the assumption that the average multi- family dwelling unit is 1200 square feet.

Further traffic impacts from this project are not expected. Conclusion The redesignation of the South Miami Shopping Center's rear parking lot does not jeopardize the City's current levels -of- service. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use Map to designate the properties identified as the South Miami Shopping Center's rear parking lot with the land use designation of Townhouse Residential (Two -Story) described in the EAR.

INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to change the 1995 New Future Land Use Map designations on the properties which comprise South Miami Middle School and South Miami Elementary School. This amendment is an attempt to recognize the School Board's acquisition of the northernmost section of South Miami Field with the most appropriate land use designation, Educational Uses. This amendment also attempts to recognize the recreational facilities that the Schools offer to the public with the most appropriate land use designation, Parks and Open Space. Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Educational Uses and Parks and Open Space land use designations, and all proposed land use designations, is included as part of the EAR - Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Language for the Parks and Open Space designation is intended to apply to the Marshall Williamson Park Reconfiguration Amendment (Ill), the Jean H. Willis Park Preservation Amendment (VIII), and the South Miami Middle School Correction Amendment (XI). DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 New Future Land Use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Parks and Open Space. The South Miami Middle School Corrections Amendment is one of three such amendments which include the Marshall Williamson Park Reconfiguration Amendment (Ili) and the Jean H. Willis Park Preservation Amendment (VIII). The proposed Parks and Open Space land use designation is described as follows: The parks and open space land use category is intended to provide for public parks and open space area, including those associated with public schools. Sites designated parks and open space should not be used for other purposes without an amendment to this land use plan. Zoning regulations could permit park and open space uses on sites not so designated by this plan. Land exchange may precede amendment to this plan providing that levels of service established in the Recreation and Open Space Element are maintained, this provision is included for the purpose of providing for land use designation of future park reconfiguration.

M The composition of the area is follows: Parcel of South Miami Field acquired by 1.03 acres the School Board currently designated Parks and Open Space, less the existing basketball court that will remain Parks and Open Space Existing basketball court currently 0.40 acres designated Parks and Open Space South Miami Middle School's and South 2.97 acres Miami Elementary School's recreational playing fields and courts currently designated Public and Semi Public Total 4.40 acres PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT This amendment does not negatively affect any public facilities' levels -of- service. Conclusion This amendment does not reduce the levels -of- service for any public facilities. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use map to designate the properties of South Miami Middle School as Educational Uses and Parks and Open Space as defined in the EAR. The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates areas to be designated with proposed land use designations. Amendment XV contains the language changes which amend the Future Land Use Categories and describe the specific nature of all designations. 50 AMENDMENT XII: LUDLAM OFFICE LAND USE REPLACEMENT ■ n 11 ii���a XH. "LUDLAM OFFICE " LAND USE REPLACEMENT AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the 1995 Future Land Use Map designation of Residential Office (Two -Story) for those properties identified as Ludlam Office. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to change the 1995 Future Land Use Map designation on the properties identified as Ludlam Office. The area's current designation of Low Intensity Office (Two - Story) was implemented to ensure that excessive commercial growth did not encroach upon the surrounding residential neighborhoods. The Residential Office (Two -Story) land use designation, however, utilizes more stringent regulations regarding office intensity to accomplish the same goal. Therefore, pursuant to two of the City's main objectives, protecting residential neighborhoods and streamlining the land use code, the City has determined that the Low Intensity Office land use designation should be deleted and replaced by the Residential Office (Two -Story) land use designation. Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Residential Office (Two -Story) land use designation and all proposed land use designations, is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Language for the Residential Office (Two -Story) designation is intended to apply to the "Ludlam Office" Land Use Replacement Amendment (XII) and the "Red Road Residential Office" Correction Amendment (XIS. DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 Future Land use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Residential Office (Two - Story). The Ludlam Office project is one of two such amendments, the other being the "Red Road Residential Office" Correction Amendment (XM. The proposed Residential Office (Two -Story) land use designation is described as follows: The residential office land use category is intended to provide for the development of very low - intensity office structures that are similar in development characteristics to single family homes Development characteristics shall include but not be limited to height, mass, volume, parking, and landscaping. Buildings shall not exceed two stories. In addition, heavy landscaping and screening shall be provided for parking areas, trash storage and other non - residential site characteristics. Adjacent Land Use Designations Adjacent land use designations are illustrated on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. All of the properties adjacent to Ludlam Office are designated as Public Institutional Uses on the 1995 Future Land Use Maps. 51 Effected Area The subject property of Ludlam Office is designated Low Intensity Office. The whole is legally described as follows: The South 1/2 of the Southeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 less the West 340 feet thereof, of Section 26, Township 54, Range 40, Dade County, Florida. Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Land Use Map shows the current use of the property contained within the proposed Residential Office area. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. Current Land Use Designations and Areas The current land use designation for the subject property is indicated on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. This amendment proposes to delete the redundant land use designation of Low Intensity Office from the Comprehensive Plan. The subject property is approximately 1.91 acres in area. PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT The change of the land use designation for the subject property causes a change in name only. The current office building will continue to exist in its current form. Furthermore, the change from Low Intensity Office to the proposed Residential Office will decrease the permitted intensity. Therefore, this amendment will not cause any public facilities impacts. Transportation Impact The proposed Ludlam Office Land Use Replacement Amendment will lower the permitted level of development for this parcel. In addition, this area is served by Ludlam Drive (S.W. 67 Avenue) and Sunset Drive (S.W. 72 Street). These roadways are designated by level -of- service "F." Conclusion The designation of Ludlam Office as Residential Office (Two -Story) will notjeopardize the levels -of- service for the City of South Miami. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use map to designate the properties of "Ludlam Office" with the proposed Residential Office (Two -Story) land use designation as defined in the EAR The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates areas to be designated with proposed land use designations. Amendment XV contains the language changes which amend the Future Land Use Categories and describe the specific nature of all designations. 52 AMENDMENT XIII: GIRL SCOUT PARK CORRECTION 3 �■ or e: C XIII. "GIRL SCOUT PARK" CORRECTION REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the 1995 Future Land Use Map land use designation of Single- Family Residential (Two -Story) for the area which was mistakenly identified as the northern boundary of Girl Scout Park on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to correct a graphical error that was made on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. The northern boundary of Girl Scout Park was extended too far North. However, the error was made on the map only. The Park's acreage was not calculated with the erroneous dimensions, nor was the use of the land ever utilized for anything other than Single - Family Residential. Therefore, to correct this error it is necessary to change the land use designation of the subject area to the proposed 1995 Future Land Use Map designation of Single - Family Residential. Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Single - Family Residential (Two -Story) land use designation and all proposed land use designations, is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XVI). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained in the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 Future Land use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Single - Family Residential. The proposed Single - Family Residential (Two -Story) land use designation is described as follows: The single-family land use category is intended to provide for one residential dwelling unit on each parcel of land New parcels should have a minimum area of 10, 000 square feet. In areas where existing platting is characterized by parcels larger than 10, 000 square feet, zoning regulations should be consistent with such parcel sizes provided that minimum parcel sizes need not exceed one acre. In areas where existing platting is characterized by parcels smaller than 10, 000 square feet, zoning regulations should be consistent with surrounding parcel sizes. Sites large enough to be subdivided into parcels of 10, 000 square feet or larger could be zoned accordingly, but only if such zoning would be compatible with surrounding development. Adjacent Land Use Designations Adjacent land use designations are illustrated on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. The properties surrounding the subject area are designated as Single - Family Residential, Educational Uses, and Parks and Open Space on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. Effected Area The subject property of Girl Scout Park is the very northerlt boundary and is legally described as follows: 53 The North 1/2 of the Southwest 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4 of the Northwest 1/4, Less North 198 Feet and Less East 91 Feet and Less the West 35 feet for the public right of way, Section 25, Township 54 South, Range 40 East, lying and being in the County of Dade, Florida. Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Land use map exhibits that the current use of the subject property is Single - Family Residential. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. Current Land Use Designations and Areas The graphic error made on the 1989 Future Land Use Map caused the subject property to be erroneously designated as Parks and Open Space. The subject property is approximately 1.44 acres. PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT The correction of the graphic error will not result in any impacts on public facilities. Conclusion The correction of the graphic error will not reduce the levels-of-service for the City of Miami. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use map to correct the graphic error made on the northern boundary of Girl Scout Park by designating the area with the proposed Single - Family Residential (Two -Story) land use designation as defined in the EAR The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates areas to be designated with proposed land use designations. Amendment XV contains the language changes which amend the Future Land Use Categories and describe the specific nature of all designations. 54 r' XIV. RED ROAD RESIDENTIAL OFFICE CORRECTION AMENDMENT ■� ■. ■�® oil ■ ■� MEN 1 ■r■ 9 z XIV. "RED ROAD RESIDENTIAL OFFICE" CORRECTION AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the 1995 Future Land Use Map land use designation of Residential Office (Two -Story) for those office properties along Red Road, which were previously demarcated on the 1989 Future Land Use Map as Single- Family Residential. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY The purpose of this amendment is to change the 1995 Future Land Use map designations on those office properties which were designated as Single - Family Residential on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. The proposed Residential Office (Two -Story) explained in the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report is the office category most appropriate for this location. Language which specifies the exact nature of the proposed Residential Office (Two -Story) land use designation and all proposed land use designations, is included as part of the EAR -Based Comprehensive Plan Language Amendment (XV). This language is intended to be included in the Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. Language for the Residential Office (Two -Story) designation is intended to apply to the "Ludlam Office" Land Use Replacement Amendment (XII) and the "Red Road Residential Office" Correction Amendment (XIS. DATA AND ANALYSIS Proposed Use Designation The 1995 Future Land use Map indicates the areas to be designated with the proposed land use designation of Residential Office (Two- Story). The Red Road Residential Office Amendment (XIS is one of two amendments, the other being the "Ludlam Office" Land Use Replacement Amendment (X0), which concern the proposed land use designation of Residential Office. The proposed Residential Office land use designation is described as follows: The residential office land use category is intended to provide for the development of very low - intensity office structures that are similar in development characteristics to single-family homes. Development characteristics shall include but not he limited to height, mass, volume, parking, and landscaping. Buildings shall not exceed two stories. In addition, heavy landscaping and screening shall he provided for parking areas, trash storage and other non - residential site characteristics. Adjacent Land use designations Adjacent land use designations are illustrated on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. The properties surrounding the subject properties are designated as Single - Family Residential and Residential Office on the 1995 Future Land Use Map. 55 Effected Area The subject properties consist of the existing residential office area which was designated as Single - Family Residential. The whole is legally described as follows: The East 286.28 feet of the North 1/2, of the Northeast 1/4, of the Southeast 1/4 of the Northeast 1/4 of Section 36, Township 54, Range 40 East, less the East 50 feet thereof, lying and being in the County of Dade, Florida; and, The West 1/2 of the East 1/2 of the North 1/2 of the Southeast 1/4 of the Southeast 1/4 of the Northeast 1/4 of Section 36, Township 54, Range 40 East, less the West 25 feet thereof, lying and being in the County of Dade, Florida. Existing Uses in Effected Area The 1995 Existing Land use Map shows the current use of the properties contained within the proposed Residential Office land use designation area. The adjacent street system is also illustrated. Current Land Use Designations and Areas The current land use designations for the subject properties are indicated on the 1989 Future Land Use map and both are currently designated Single - Family Residential. The purpose of this amendment is to correct the erroneous designation which appears on the 1989 Future Land Use Map. The composition of the area is as follows: Two existing residential office properties 1.95 acres designated single family residential PUBLIC FACILITIES IMPACT This amendment attempts to correct a designation for an existing use. The Single - Family Residential land use category was never utilized in making previous public facilities impact calculations. Therefore, correcting the designation will not result in any impact on public facilities. Transportation Impact The proposed Red Road Residential Office Correction Amendment land area is served by Red Road (S.W. 57 Avenue) exclusively. This County roadway is designated by level -of- service "F "; therefore, no traffic impact analysis is required for this roadway. Conclusion This amendment is not modifying the expected density and intensity of development within the subject area, and it will not affect the current levels -of- service for the City of South Miami. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use map to designate the properties of the "Red Road Residential Office" Area with the proposed Residential Office (Two -Story) land use designation as defined in the EAR The 1995 Future Land Use Map indicates areas to be designated with proposed land use designations. Amendment XV contains the language changes which amend the Future Land Use Categories and describe the specific nature of all designations. 56 XV. EAR -BASED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS !!T Mille /ATI Hartle 72N1 smso eorF Davh XV. EAR -BASED COMPREHENSIVE PLAN LANGUAGE AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the recommended language amendments and map amendments, as set forth in the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report.

Goal 2 To preserve and enhance the pedestrian character and comparison shopping function of the City's Sunset shopping area by encoura ing development and redevelopment as envisioned in the Hometown Plan. South Miami's Sunset commercial area east of U.S. 1 is one of the most vibrant in south Florida. It serves populations in the city and beyond. The pedestrian character of the Sunset commercial area gives a measure of charm and sophistication that is perfectly compatible with the city's small town character. Preserving and enhancing the vitality of the Sunset commercial area is the second most important goal of the comprehensive plan. Preservation of the Sunset commercial area, identified as the "Hometown District" by the City, is linked to the success of the MetroraiI transit station as a core for pedestrian- oriented commercial development Redevelopment of multi -story and mixed -use projects is encouraged by the City as envisioned in the Hometown Plan Objective 2.1 Discourage urban commercial sprawl by enhancing downtown South Miami as the prime retail and commercial service center, as specified in the Future Land Use Map.

The City of South Miami encourages development and redevelopment in the Transit - Oriented Development District. Existing streetscape widths along S.W. 62 Avenue and Sunset Drive will permit increased building heights that are aesthetically- pleasing. The City encourages transparent street -level retail with a mix of retail services, office use, office services and residential uses in mixed -use and multi -story projects, as well as encouraging a district -wide mix of land uses via multiple projects. Goal 4 To preserve and enhance the natural environmental characteristics of South Miami.

Objective 4.3 Assist the County in making land available for sewer facilities as required, can not be measurable in advance of County plans. Policy 4.3.1 Reserve land for pump stations if required by the County's extension of sewer lines, which in turn is a water quality protection program. Objective 4.4 Preserve floodplain areas via floodplain management and limiting development within the Special Flood Hazard Area. Policy 4.4.1 In coordination with the Transit - Oriented Development District, permit more intense development only in those areas which are located outside of the Special Flood Hazard Area. Policy 4.4.2 Building density and intensity may be transferred from areas within the Special Flood Hazard Area, in order to permit development within the Transit - Oriented Development District, while reducing the permitted intensities within the Special Flood Hazard Areas. Policy 4.4.3 Develop a Transit - Oriented Development District and floodplain overlay map in conjunction with new regulatory mechanisms to implement the preservation of the floodplain and encourage development within the Transit- Oriented Development District. Note: I) Objective 9J -5.006 (3)(b) 5 is not applicable since this is not a coastal community. 2) Objective 9J -5.006 (3)(b) 6 is not applicable since this is not an Area of Critical State Concern. 61 FUTURE LAND USE CATEGORIES This section contains language which explains the intent of the future land use map. Zoning regulations which permit uses that are specifically permitted by this section and that also permit uses that are less intensive than those permitted by this section may be deemed to be consistent with the comprehensive plan. Zoning regulations that are more restrictive than the provisions of this section may also be consistent with the comprehensive plan. The terms "less intensive" and "more restrictive" in this section are not defined in this plan. Planned unit development zoning regulations which permit buildings to be higher than stated in this plan may be deemed consistent with this plan, provided such regulations do not permit the overall floor area on a site to be greater than could occur if the height limits of this plan were observed. Nothing in this plan is intended, or has the effect of, limiting or modifying the right of any person to complete any planned development which has been issued a final planned development order which is in full force and effect and where development has commenced and is continuing in good faith, provided that all regulations and conditions as imposed by the City are met. Any legally granted variances to a development code regulation which implements this plan shall be deemed to be a legally granted variance to this plan and as such shall be deemed to be consistent with this plan. This variance provision, shall apply to all elements and sections of this plan. Vested Rights: Nothing contained herein shall be construed as affecting validly existing vested rights. It shall be the duty and responsibility of the applicant alleging vested rights to affirmatively demonstrate the legal requisites of vested rights. Vested rights shall require a demonstration to the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami that the applicant (1) has relied in good faith, (2) upon some act or omission of the government, and (3) has made such a substantial change in position or incurred such extensive obligations and expenses to the applicant's detriment as to create an undue hardship. The mere existence of zoning contrary to the South Miami Comprehensive Plan shall not be determined to vest rights. Developmental actions where all required approvals have been received, or orders or permits that preceded the official adoption of this Comprehensive Plan shall remain in full force and effect but subject to all applicable zoning laws and regulations of the City. The land development regulations to be adopted shall provide for specific standards to carry out these concerns. To reflect the repeated public concerns expressed at the charrettes and public hearings regarding the preponderance of land use regulations the land use categories are reduced in number to reflect the traditional land use designations utilized by the planning profession Regulation of specific uses and intensities will be included under provisions in the Land Development Code Single - Family Residential (Two -Story) The single - family land use category is intended to provide for one residential dwelling unit on each parcel of land. New parcels should have a minimum area of 10,000 square feet. In areas where existing platting is characterized by parcels larger than 10,000 square feet, zoning regulations should be consistent with such parcel sizes provided that minimum parcel sizes need not exceed one acre. In areas where existing platting is characterized by _parcels smaller than 10,000 square feet, zoning regulations should be consistent with surrounding parcel sizes Sites large enough to be subdivided into parcels of 10,000 square feet or larger could be zoned accordingly, but only if such zoning would be compatible with surrounding development. 62 Lot of Record: If the owner of a platted lot in any district does not own a parcel or tract of land immediately adjacent to such lot, and if the deed or instrument under which such owner acquired title to such lot was of record prior to the application of any zoning regulations to the premises, or if such lot were created and first recorded in compliance with the zoning regulations in effect on the lot at the time of recording, and if such lot does not conform to the requirements of such regulations as to the width of lots and lot area, the provisions of such lot area and lot width regulations shall not prevent the owner of such lot from erecting a single - family dwelling or making other improvements on the lot, provided such improvements conform in all other respects to the applicable zoning regulations provided that such platted lot is not less than fifty feet in width and has a frontage of at least fifty feet. The term "platted lot" as used herein shall mean a full and complete separate parcel designated as a lot, parcel, or tract as part of a subdivision plat recorded in the public records of Dade County, Florida.

Zoning regulations shall reinforce "no widenings" policy set forth in the Traffic Circulation Element by encouraging use of Metrorail system. Pursuant to the recommendation by the Department of Community Affairs to include 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. 65 -a Public and Semi Elie Institutional Uses (Four - Story) The public and semi- publie institutional land use category is intended to provide for RILblic schools, municipal facilities, utilities, ea d churches, temples, synagogues and similar uses.

Parks and Open Space The parks and open space land use category is intended to provide for public parks, park and open space areas, including those associated with Rilblic schools. Sites designated parks and open space should not be used for other purposes without an amendment to this land use plan. Zoning regulations could permit park and open space uses on sites not so designated by this plan. Land exchange may precede amendment to this plan providing that levels -of- service established in the Recreation and Open Space Element are maintained• this provision is included for the purpose of providing for land use designation of future park reconfiguration Zoning regulations should permit Barks- related buildings (e.g., indoor athletic and passive recreation facilities) on land already designated as Parks and Ooen Space. .. Iry n 42crC ClI Gr n n TION TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Goal 1 To maintain an overall transportation system which does not adversely affect residential neighborhoods but which provides for the circulation needs of all sectors of the community in a safe, efficient, cost - effective and aesthetically pleasing manner. Objective 1.1 Undertake only those improvements that both facilitate traffic flow and reduce adverse traffic impact on the neighborhoods thereby making neighborhood streets safer. Measurability shall be no major street widenings- by -19W. See Objective 1. S for non - motorized transportation systems and 1.3 for convenient and efficient motorized transportation. fObiective undated to contain permanent provision.] Policy 1.1.1 Utilize the following level of service standards: Principal Arterials "F" Minor Arterials "F" Miller Drive aGt "F" [To avoid any future road widenings.] The above level -of- service notwithstanding, development in the City shall be governed by additional terms and conditions agreed to by the City of South Miami and the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). These terms and conditions are agreed to by the City and incorporated as part of this plan in order to facilitate a finding by the DCA that this Comprehensive Plan is in compliance with Florida law and the Florida Administrative Code. The additional terms and conditions agreed to by the City are as follows: Until December 31, 1995, the peak hour level -of- service standard for US 1 shall be 115 percent of the peak hour traffic count in 1989. The City shall use the peak hour traffic data for 1989 available from the Florida Department of Transportation. 2. After December 31, 1995, the peak hour level -of- service standard shall be 150 percent of D capacity for US 1, 3. The peak hour level -of- service standard for Bird Road shall be 120 percent of E capacity. 4. The City will not issue any new - construction permit which would have the effect of lowering the level -of- service on Bird Road or US 1 below the levels specified in "1," "2" and "3" above unless such permits are issued pursuant to a development of regional impact (DRI) approval granted prior to the effective date of this plan. The City of South Miami views these standards as more restrictive than desirable or appropriate for the City, but accepts them as the most permissive standards that are likely to win approval from the Florida Department of Community Affairs. The City believes more permissive standards are in order for the following reasons: a. There is only a small segment of US 1 in the City of South Miami. The City has virtually no control over most of the development which does now or will in the future load trips onto US 1. 67 C. There is a Metrorail station in the heart of the City's only intensive development area; this Metrorail station puts extraordinary commuter rail transit service at hand. Further, development of the area around the Metrorail station will further state and local goals for "in- filling" already urbanized areas and reducing urban sprawl. d. Bus service with 30 minute headway is available along Bird Road. The availability of this transit service justifies the above level -of- service designation on Bird Road. e. In enacting this plan, the City has very substantially reduced the amount of development that was permitted under the plan effective prior to 1989 and its implementing zoning ordinance. The City understands that the Florida Department of Community Affairs believes reasons "a" through "e" are sufficient justification for the standards set forth in "1" through "4" above, but that more permissive standards would not be consistent with the City's responsibility to help minimize traffic congestion.

If the project would result in an increase in peak - period traffic volume on a Florida Interstate Highway System [FIRS] roadway that is operating below any adopted LOS standard, which increase would exceed two (2) percent of the capacity of the roadway at the adopted standard, the City shall require the developer and successors to implement and maintain trip reduction measures to reduce travel by single- occupant vehicles so that the resultant increase in traffic volume does not exceed two (2) percent. Policy 1.6.2 The City of South Miami shall include in its concurrency management program appropriate rules that address this policy and are consistent with requirements contained in Chapter 163, Part II of Florida Statutes. Policy 1.6.3 The proposed Redevelopment and Infill District [RID] will be included in the adopted Future Land Use Map. Boundary changes will require an amendment to this plan.

Engineering and architectural studies performed during the period may pinpoint deficiencies and corrective cost estimates for future needs to be implemented during the fiscal 1995 -1999 period (for example: sidewalks, drainage). The City does not endorse County road widening proposals; therefore, street resurfacing is the only project which may be included in the C.I.P. program. Five -Year Schedule of Improvements, 1995 -1999 Project Description 1. Street resurfacing Programs Year Cost 1995 -1999 $600,000 Source Local Option Gas Tax For purposes of monitoring and evaluation, the principal programs needed to implement this Element are outlined in more detail in the Element and are as follows: A annual capital programming and budgeting process beginning in fiscal 1995. 2. Engineering or other studies to pinpoint potential deficiencies and costs. Amendments to the Land Development Code to implement EAR -based amendments. 83 FUTURE LAND USE MAP The proposed 1995 New Future Land Use Map includes the future land use categories which are described in the revised Land Use Categories descriptive text contained in the sub - section above, entitled "New Goals, Objectives and Polices." The proposed 1995 New Future Land Use Map continues the existing amount, configuration and designation of land uses as contained in the currently adopted 1989 Future Land Use Map with the exception of the aforementioned amendments. Some categories of land uses are combined and represented under single designations. The land use designations for new categories created in response to public participation activities as part of the Urban Design Charrettes are included. Summary information regarding land use and nomenclature changes is indicated in italics font. 1995 Land Use Nomenclature Single - Family Residential (2 -story) Identical Duplex Residential (2 -story) No longer permits townhouses Townhouse Residential (2 -story) Permits up to 17 units per acre Multiple - Family Residential (4 -story) Combines districts Residential Office (2 -story) Combines districts Commercial Retail and Office (2 -story) Combines districts, permit office uses Mixed -Use Commercial/Residential (4 -story) Implements Hometown Plan and portions of Hometown Too Study (2'd Charrette Activity) TODD (Flexible Height up to 8 stories) Implements portion of Hometown Too Study Educational Uses New designation required by DCA Public Institutional Uses (4 -story) Identical 1989 Land Use Nomenclature Single - Family Residential (2 -story) Two Family /Townhouse (2 -story) Townhouse Residential (2 -story) Permits up to 6 units per acre Low Density Multiple (2 -story) Medium Density Multiple (4 -story) Residential Office (2 -story) Low Intensity Office (2 -story) General Retail (2 -story) Neighborhood Retail (2 -story) Specialty Retail/Residential (4 -story) Medium Intensity Office (4 -story) Public and Semi- Public (4 -story) Public and Semi - Public (4 -story) Parks and Open Space (including School Board) Parks and Open Space (including School Board) Permits indoor athletic and recreational facilities M FUTURE TRAFFIC CIRCULATION MAP The Future Traffic Circulation Map presented as part of this report is identical to the map in the adopted comprehensive plan (Attachment 2 ). The City's adopted policy of no road widenings requires that the number of travel lanes, as adopted in 1989, remain the same; therefore, the 1995 Future Traffic Circulation is the same as the 1989 Future Traffic Circulation Map. NEW MONITORING AND EVALUATION PROCEDURES This section of the report establishes the future public participation and regular review schedule for the continued monitoring, updating and evaluation of the Comprehensive Plan. Procedures presented in this section are essentially the same as the 1989 -1994 planning cycle procedures. Citizen Participation In conjunction with one of the semi -annual plan amendment cycles, the Planning Board will conduct a public workshop on the Comprehensive Plan. A status report will be provided by the staff and then citizen comments will be solicited. This meeting will be publicized by legal notice in a newspaper of general circulation with additional effort for an article or public announcement. The Planning Board will submit a report on the status of the Plan to the City Manager and the City Commission, which may be accompanied by recommended amendments. Data and Objectives Update As a part of the public workshop, pertinent and measurable objectives will be the subject of review and comment by the staff preparing the status report. In addition, the staff will review appropriate Metropolitan Dade County, publications and U.S. Census data, as these documents become available. Highlights and summaries of the documents should be included in the report. Five -Year Review The City Manager will designate the individual(s) responsible for the preparation of the five - year Evaluation & Appraisal Report [EAR] in conformance with the statutory requirements set forth in the Florida Statutes with special emphasis on the objectives and policies. The EAR will pinpoint obstacles to the implementation of the objectives and policies set forth in the Plan. Revised Objectives and Policies The planning staff will prepare draft amendments to the goals, objectives and policies based on the above, focusing on the future planning cycle. The citizen participation procedures adopted by the City Commission, contained in the Public Participation Plan, will be utilized in amending the adopted sections of the Comprehensive Plan including the goals, objectives and policies. 4. rxi XVI. EAR -BASED TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT AMENDMENT REQUEST As a result of the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report, the Local Planning Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan, in order to implement the required amendments to the Traffic Circulation Element to meet the new criteria as a Transportation Element, as set forth in the 1995 Evaluation & Appraisal Report. INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY Pursuant to Section 339.175, Florida Statutes, and Rule 9J- 5.019, Florida Administrative Code, the City of South Miami, as a jurisdiction within the urbanized area of a Metropolitan Planning Organization, is required to prepare a Transportation Element which incorporates and replaces any existing Traffic Circulation, Mass Transit, Ports, Aviation and related facilities Element(s). The City of South Miami's adopted Comprehensive Plan contains a Traffic Circulation Element but does not contain a Mass Transit or a Ports, Aviation and related facilities Element. The City works closely with Metropolitan Dade County regarding the County's Mass Transit system, but the City is not the service provider or entity with jurisdiction. In addition, the City contains no ports, aviation or related facilities within its boundaries or in the surrounding adjacent areas. DATA AND ANALYSIS Pursuant to review of the requirements and provisions of Section 339.175, Florida Statutes, and the requirements and provisions of Rule 9J- 5.019, Florida Administrative Code, the City hereby determines that in the absence of City- operated mass transit, ports, aviation and related facilities, the existing Traffic Circulation Element addresses the applicable requirements and provisions of the Section 339.175, Florida Statutes, and Rule 9J- 0.019, Florida Administrative Code, with the exception of nomenclature. The City, therefore, submits the following language amendments to the Traffic Circulation Element to comply with the requirement for a Transportation Element. PROPOSED LANGUAGE AMENDMENTS The following additions are proposed to the language of the existing Traffic Circulation Element in order to implement said Element as the new Transportation Element: Objective 1.7 Coordinate transportation Wlem with the plans and programs of the Metropolitan Planning Organization Florida Lgn ortation Plan and Florida Department of Transportation's Adopted Work Program Policy 1.7.1 Review and monitor all related plans and policies in conjunction with the local metropolitan planning organization's documents and State of Florida documents. including transportation plans and adopted work programs 4. E CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT (DCA No. 97 -1ER) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT SUPPLEMENTAL TRANSPORTATION DATA AND ANALYSIS ADDRESSING RULE 9J -5.019 This was prepared to address the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA), objections, recommendations, and comments to South Miami's Amendment #16 Transportation Element as described in DCA's Objections, Recommendations, and Comments (ORC) Report issued April 9, 1997. 1. (2)(a)1.d. Significant Parking Facilities; Response: A map depicting the existing significant parking facilities is attached to this report as Figure 1 under the section addressing the data requirements of Rule 9J- 5- 19(2)(a)1.d., F.A.C. Figure 1 shows the significant public parking facilities located throughout the City of South Miami. These facilities include the public park- and -ride garage located at the South Miami Metrorail transit station, South Miami Hospital, City Hall, Shops at Sunset Place, schools, parks and recreational areas. There are also two areas in downtown South Miami located between SW 59th Avenue and SW 57th Court along SW 73th street and SW 74th street which has long term meter, 5 hour, street parking. These areas provide the necessary parking for consumers which shop the downtown commercial shops which do not have the space for on site parking. The parking areas are owned and operated by the City of South Miami. 2. (2)(a)7. Intermodal Terminals and Access to Intermodal Facilities; Response: The only intermodal terminal within the City of South Miami is the South Miami Metrorail transit station located on Sunset Drive and South Dixie Highway. The roadway network of South Miami most directly related to the movement of freight is presented in Figure 2. This figure depicts the City of South Miami's existing intermodal terminal and access to the intermodal facility. Most of the significant activities are located on Bird Road, South Dixie Highway, and Kendall Drive. 3. (2)(a)10. The Major Public Transit Trip Generators and Attractors Based Upon the Existing Land Use Map or Map Series; Response: As shown in Figure 3, existing major traffic /trip generators and attractors are located throughout the City of South Miami. But for the most part, the majority of them are concentrated in the downtown area. For presentation purposes, these major generators and attractors have been categorized as: government centers, hospitals /medical complexes, shopping centers /major retail areas, attractions /cultural facilities, parks /recreational areas, and employment centers. Within the City of South Miami they are: South Miami Hospital, Shops at Sunset Place, Ludlam Elementary School, South Miami Elementary, Fairchild Elementary, City Hall, Dante Fascell Park, Fuch's Park, Marshall Williamson Park, Murray Park, the Y.M.C.A., the Metrorail transit station, and the downtown area's retail shops. 4. (3)(d) An analysis of the growth trends and travel patterns and interactions; between land uses and transportation, the compatibility between the future land use and transportation element; Response: The growth trends for the City of South Miami, which are directly related to its travel patterns and interactions, have occurred in the area surrounding and adjacent to the City's downtown area and its major arterials. This area has experienced the largest population increase within the City's boundary. This is indicative of where most of the City's transportation improvements have occurred. Also, most of the City's major arterial and travel patterns, which are connected to the downtown area, have also been directly effected by the population growth. This area has become congested and the traffic pattern has increased dramatically. Figure 4 illustrates the division of the County into seven major and 23 minor statistical zones used by Dade County Department of Planning, Development, and Regulations. South Miami is located in statistical area 5.3 and a small portion of 5.6. The distribution of population growth by zone is detailed in Table 1. Within the City of South Miami, there was actually a population decrease of about 1 percent between 1980 and 1990. On the other hand, from 1990 to 1994 the population increased about 2 percent. As shown in Figure 5, Existing Average Daily Traffic Volumes, U.S. 1 is carrying the heaviest volumes of traffic through the City. U.S. 1 has an average traffic volume of 68,670 vehicles per day (vpd) north of Kendall Drive and 71,663 vpd north of Sunset Drive. Bird Road with 45,693 vpd has the next highest average daily traffic volumes. Sunset Drive and Kendall Drive also have significant traffic loadings. Heavy traffic volumes on these streets are primarily due to commuter trips between downtown Miami and suburban locations to the west and southwest. Since the Land Use Plan calls for a reduction in land use intensities (particularly commercial), no significant increase will occur in traffic generated by South Miami. In fact, the City is proposing to develop a shuttle system that would link the eastern and western portions of the City together, promoting public transit and therefore lessening the amount of traffic in the downtown area (Figure 8). The principal goal of the land use plan is to avoid the adverse impacts that accompany street widening. It is the legislative judgment of the South Miami City Commission that such widening would not necessarily result in improved levels of service; such widening could just as likely result in higher volumes of traffic at lower levels of service. Higher volumes of traffic would adversely affect the residential character of South Miami and further congest downtown South Miami. It is in the best interest of South Miami that this does not happen. Instead, efforts should encourage commuter traffic to use high design arterials that do not pass through the City of South Miami. 5. (3)(e) An analysis of the projected intermodal deficiencies and needs such as terminals, connections, high occupancy vehicle lanes, park- and -ride lots and other facilities; Response: All types of intermodal terminals (transit, air /sea, and freight) are present in Dade County. As shown in Figure 6, the City of South Miami only has one terminal which is the South Miami Metrorail Transit Station with a public park- and -ride garage located on South Dixie Highway (US -1) and Sunset Drive. There are no other terminals or park and ride lots within the City limits. The future mass transit systems expansion and development for Dade County does not directly effect the City of South Miami. None of these proposed rapid transit corridors are located within its boundary limits. Instead they expand to the north and south of the City. The only improvements to the system within the City of South Miami is that City proposing to develop a shuttle system which would link the eastern and western portions of the City together. The system will run along a 1.8 mile long complete loop with stops strategically located in order to serve all aspects of the downtown area (Figure 8). The development of this shuttle system will encompass the Metrorail station as part of its route and will promote public transit, reduce the demand for parking in the downtown area, and reduce the volume of traffic on the roadways. High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes, also know as Diamond lanes or Carpool lanes, are reserved exclusively for carpools, vanpools and public transit vehicles during weekday mornings and evening rush hours. There are currently no HOV lanes within the boundary limits of the City of South Miami. 6. (3)(f) An analysis of projected transportation system needs; Response: The major provider of transit in the City of South Miami is the Metro - Dade Transit Agency which operates the county wide bus system and the elevated rapid transit system ( Metrorail). Bus routes directly serving South Miami include Routes 37, 40, 48, 52, 56, 57, 67, and 72. Figure 7 depicts the existing transits routes in the City of South Miami. No single route serve South Miami exclusively, rather portions of routes traverse the City as part of a larger area wide route. The Metrorail does have a transit station within the boundary limits of the City of South Miami located at U.S. 1 and Sunset Drive. The existing bus routes can be accessed from this station. This station also has a park- and -ride garage which provides parking and transportation needs of commuters. The City is also proposing to develop a shuttle system which would link the eastern and western portions of the City of South Miami together as shown in Figure 8. Currently the City is divided by South Dixie Highway (US -1), a six lane divided principal arterial that is characterized by a heavy volume of traffic which makes it virtually unfriendly to pedestrians. The development of this shuttle system will encompasses the Metrorail station as part of its route and will promote public transit, reduce the demand for parking in the downtown area, and reduce the volume of traffic on the roadways. 7. (3)(g) An analysis of the compatibility of the transportation system needs with the F.D.O.T. Adopted Work Program, long range transportation plan and plans of the MPO, and the compatibility with the policies and guidelines of these plans; Response: The compatibility of the transportation system needs with the F.D.O.T. Adopted Work Program, long range transportation plans and plans of the MPO are similar in its approach, but smaller in scale. All 2015 LRTP improvement projects are Priority I projects which consist of those projects found in the MPO's adopted FY 1996 Transportation Improvements Program (TIP) for the years 1996 through 2000. The Florida Department of Transportation's adopted 1996 Work Program comprises the State's program in the 1996 TIP. The other priority years are as follow: Priority II - Years 2000 to 2005; Priority III -Year 2005 to 2010, and Priority IV -Year 2010 to 2015. 8. (3)(h) An analysis shall demonstrate how the local government will maintain its adopted level of service standards for roads and transit facilities; and Response: The County's current adopted level of service standards for roads and transit facilities maintain an overall transportation system which does not adversely effect residential neighborhoods, but which provides for the circulation needs of all sectors of the community in a safe, efficient, cost effective, and aesthetically pleasing manner. The City will maintain the current level of service standards by not issuing any new construction permits that might have a negative effect on the level of service. 9. (3)(1) The analysis shall explicitly address and document internal consistency; Response: All the components of the CDMP have been coordinated in order to achieve internal consistency. The proposed goals, objectives and policies of the Transportation Element have been fully coordinated to, among other things: Promote Land use design which promote transit usage. Promote development and redevelopment of underutilized 9 land. Provide access to existing and planned major trip generators and attractors. - Meet or exceed the adopted minimum level of service standard 10. (4)(b)4. Provide transit services based on generators /attractors; Response: Most of the transit trip generators and attractors within the City of South Miami are located in the downtown area and along US -1. Within this area there is the South Miami Metrorail Transit Station which is in the heart of the City's only intensive development area. This Metrorail Station puts commuter rail transit service at hand. As shown in Figure 8, the City is also proposing to develop a shuttle system which would link the eastern and western portions of the City of South Miami together. The route will be 1.8 miles long with a complete loop time of approximately 20 minutes including eight stops. These stops will be strategically located in order to serve all aspects of the downtown area. The development of the shuttle system that encompasses the Metrorail station as part of its route promotes public transit, reduces the demand for parking in the downtown area, and reduces the volume of traffic on the roadways. It will also provide the much needed link between the South Miami community and the rest of the county. There is also an existing Bus Route System which directly serves the City of South Miami as shown in Figure 7. This Bus service is available along the major transit generators and attraction with some services having 30 minutes headway. 11. (4)(c)3. Establish parking strategies to promote transportation goalslobjectives; Response: The main transportation goal for the City of South Miami is that it will maintain an overall transportation system which does not adversely affect residential neighborhoods but which provides for circulation needs of all sectors of the Community in a safe, efficient, cost effective and aesthetically pleasing manner. The City is proposing to do this by developing a shuttle system which would link the eastern and western portions of the City of South Miami together (Figure 8). The development of the shuttle system that encompasses the Metrorail station as part of its route promotes public transit and will greatly reduce the demand for parking in the downtown area and reduce the volume of traffic on the roadways. Within the City of South Miami there are several parking locations and facilities which meet the necessary volume of vehicles which travel to and from South Miami. There are also specific areas with metered street parking which address the downtown area. These parking spaces are located along the major commercial area as shown in Figure 1. 12. (4)(c)7. Establish TSM strategies to improve system efficiency and enhance safety; Response: To improve system efficiency and enhance safety it is important that we facilitate traffic flow and reduce adverse traffic impact. The best means of achieving this is by avoiding any major street widening. As a direct result we will protect and enhance both the residential neighborhood and the downtown area. Currently the City is divided by South Dixie highway (US -1) a six -lane divided principle arterial. This roadway is characterized by heavy volume of traffic which makes it virtually unfriendly to pedestrians. The development of a shuttle system which would link the eastern and western portions of the City together is being proposed by the City of South Miami. This shuttle system will have stops strategically located to serve all aspects of the downtown area. This is depicted in Figure 8. 13. (4)(c)9. Establish land use, site and building design guidelines for accessability to transit facilities; Response: Due to the limited number of vacant parcels and little anticipated demolition of existing households, the total number of households will increase only slightly throughout the 10 year planned period. From the Existing Land Use Map, it can obviously be seen that most of the housing is located around the downtown area of South Miami. This area is composed mostly of commercial land use. The City is also proposing to develop a shuttle system which would link the eastern and western portions of the City of South Miami together (Figure 8). The existing and proposed transit system allows accessibility to the downtown area from all parts of the City of South Miami. Therefore expansion of housing does not need to be located within a small concentrated area since there is transit access throughout the City. 14. (4)(c)10. Establish numerical indicators to measure achievement of mobility goals; and Response: n/a 15. (4)(c)11. Coordinate with other local governments for area wide transportation coordination. Response: Please refer to the adopted Intergovernmental Coordination Element. 16. (4)(b)2. Coordinate transportation system with FLUM; Response: Update existing policy. Objective 1.2 Achieve coordination of the Future Land Use Plan and this element. See policies for measurability. Policy 1.2.1 Avoid any major street widening, in conformance with the Land Use Plan recommendations that call for protecting and enhancing both the residential neighborhoods and downtown. The Land Use Plan calls for a reduction in land use intensities. No significant increase will occur in traffic generated. Policy 1.2.2 17. (4)(c)1 Continue to provide accessibility to transportation services for all parts of South Miami, via its extensive bus routes, expanding where necessary to meet the future transportation needs. Encourage commuter traffic to use high design arterials that do not pass through the City of South Miami. Continue to review and redefine the land development code to assure adequate on -site parking and traffic flow through site plan reviews. Establish level of service standards at peak hour for roads and transit facilities; Response: Please refer to Chapter 2 of the Comprehensive Plan; Existing Traffic Conditions - Level of Service Standards. 18. (5)(a)1.e. Parking facilities that are required to achieve mobility goals; Response: Most of the commercial area is located along US -1 in the downtown area of the City of South Miami. Most of these shops have their own designated parking areas. But some shops on the other hand are not equipped with their own parking and therefore must rely on municipal parking facilities.
