OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
VIA: STEVEN ALEXANDER, CiTY MANAGER
FROM: Dwayne Williams, Planning Director
Agenda Item NO.:_~ DATE: October 14, 2015
SUBJECT:
An Ordinance Adopting a Small Scale Amendment to the Future Land Use
Map of the Comprehensive Plan, amending the designation of the Marshall
Williamson property located at approximately SW 61 51 Court and SW 64th
Terrace, from Single Family Residential -Two Story to Multifamily
Residential -Four Story.
BACKGROUND:
The City desires to foster development that benefits its residents and
construction of affordable and workforce housing is an established goal in the
City's Comprehensive Plan. In order to implement affordable housing projects
such as the Madison Square project, it is necessary to provide for a sufficient
level of development in order to qualify for funding opportunities. The increase
of residential development intensities in targeted zoning districts to provide for
the development of sustainable affordable and workforce housing is an
appropriate means to implement these strategies and has been made necessary
by the State of Florida's policies to encourage more provision of affordable
housing opportunities by raising the minimum level of units to be able to
qualify for tax credits which in most cases are essential to the funding of such
developments.
The City's Comprehensive Plan, Housing Element, Housing Policy 1.5.2, was
established to encourage affordable housing within the City, and encouraged
the granting of a density increase, which is compatible with surrounding
development and site characteristics. To this end and by separate action the
City Commission will consider increasing the bonus for affordable, low
affordable, and workforce housing to 30%.
The land use map designation of the 1.01 acre (more or less) Marshall
Williamson property located at approximately SW 61 st Court and SW 64th
Terrace needs to be revised to enable the Madison Square project to be
constructed with the appropriate minimum number of units within the entire
project from Single Family Residential (2-Story) to Multiple-Family Residential
(4-Story) on the Future Land Use Map. . '.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed Future Land Use Map amendment to the Comprehensive Plan will
modify the depiction of the existing land use category for the Marshall
Williamson property from Single Family Residential (Two Story) to Multifamily
Residential (Four Story). Although the Future Land Use Map change raises the
possibility of the creation of a four story development, it is important to
recognize that this land use category change is necessary to enable the proper
density on the Marshall Williamson property for the establishment of the
minimum number of units for qualifying for the State tax credits for the project.
The enabling of these units are critical to the Madison Square development. The
folio numbers for the Land use Map amendment are:
·6488 SW 60 AVE South Miami, FL 33143-3452 Folio: 09-4025-000-0850
· No address provided Folio: 09-4025-065-0090
• No Address provided Folio: 09-4025-000-0852
The concurrency review study has been completed and at this time all school
levels have sufficient capacity available to serve the proposed affordable
housing Madison Square development.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION:
At the September 29, 2015 public hearing the Planning Board recommended
approval to the Commissioners with a vote of 6 to 1.
