NOVEMBER1995
SO
REQUEST
As a result of City of South Miami's 1995 Evaluation and Appraisal Report,the Local Planning
Agency recommends that the City amend its Comprehensive Plan to create a transit-oriented
development district to promote redevelopment and infill development in appropriate areas.
INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY
The purpose of this amendment is to change the Future Land Use Map designations on properties
in the central office district west of South Dixie Highway,in order to permit more flexibility in
the height of future development so that mixed-use,multi-story development and redevelopment
projects may be encouraged.This district is intended to promote transit-oriented development.
The district is located directly adjacent to the South Miami Metrorail transit station and is
comprised of two sub-sections,one to the northeast along South Dixie Highway and one to the
southwest along Sunset Drive (S.W.72 Street).Both sub-sections are located in the proposed
Redevelopment &Infill District [RID],with the exception ofa block in the northeast sub-section,
which is north of and directly adjacent to the RID along S.W.68 Street (see Attachment 1).
Language which specifies the exact nature of the Transit-Oriented Development District {TODD]
is included as part of this amendment process to describe the district.This language is intended
tobe included inthe Future Land Use Categories contained within the Future Land Use Element.
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 Transit-Oriented Development District [TODD]which is described as follows:
The Transit-Oriented Development District is intended to provide for the development of office
uses,office services,office-related retail,retail,retail services,and residential uses in multi-story
and mixed-use projects that are characteristic of transit-oriented developments.Permitted
heights and intensities shall be set forth in the Land Development Code,including design
standards.Zoning regulations shall encourage development within the TODD in conjunction
with limiting new development within the Special Flood Hazard Area.The City shall pursue an
incentives program for redevelopment including flexible building heights and design standards
to insure that responsible,effective and aesthetically-pleasing projects result.
Adjacent Land Use Designations
Adjacent land uses are illustrated on the 1995 New Future land Use Map,including the following
proposedland use designations:Townhouse Residential,Multiple-Family Residential,Residential
Office,Commercial Retailand Office,Mixed-Use Commercial/Residential,Public &Institutional
Uses,Parks and Open Space,and one corner facing the side block of Single-Family Residential.

Public Facilities Impact
An amendment to create a Redevelopment &Infill District [RID],as a transportation concurrency
exception area pursuant to §163.3180 of Florida Statutes,is being simultaneously proposed with
this amendment for a Transit-Oriented Development District [TODD].The premise for support
of these dual amendments is the existing public,rapid-transit infrastructure already established
in the heart of these two overlapping districts.Requirements for implementation of transit-
oriented design standards and connectivity to and with the public infrastructure (transit station)
will be the determining factor for the approval of permits for individual projects.
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 the development process.Solid waste capacity is available as described in the EAR.
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 (which
is permitted under existing land use designations)would be permitted by right,and development
up to eight stories could be permitted under the provisions of a design quality incentives package.
Increased project height may be achieved via the provision of public amenities,direct transit
connection,provision ofshuttle service,"step-back"setbacks and building envelope manipulation.
/o
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 310.38 mgpd is utilized;therefore,
the remaining capacity available is approximately 7.62 mgpd.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 size is 1200 square feet.

Facilities Analysis
This is an analysis of the net increase in public facility demand if the land in the proposed
Transit-Oriented Development District [TODD]is developed to the intended mix of land uses.
For the purpose of analysis,a development and redevelopment goal of 25%of the district will
be assumed.The City is aware that this is an ambitious goal for a redevelopment district.
The entire district is approximately 43.45 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 may be calculated per land use.Maximum development permitted
inthe TODD is eight stories,four stories by right and the potential for four additional 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 calculation purposes.
Maximum additional floor area that may be expected for development and redevelopment in the
area designated as Transit-Oriented Development District is presented below.

Solid Waste Impact
The adopted LOS for solid waste in the City of South Miami is 7.6 pounds per person per day.
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 only 11 million tons is
utilized;therefore,remaining capacity available is 5.9 million tons.Generation rates are from

the City provides 56.2 acres of park land;therefore,the remaining capacity available is 14.1
acres,which would permit a 3,525 person increase in the population with adequate park land.
For the purpose of calculations,itis assumed that the persons persquare foot of residential use is
