MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
VIA: STEVEN ALEXANDER, CITY MANAGER
FROM : Dwayne Williams, Planning Director
Agenda Item No.:_3 _ DATE: October 14, 201 S
SUBJECT:
An Ordinance amending the official zoning map as provided in the City Of
South Miami Land Development Code, Article III, "Zoning Regulations," Section
20-3.1 (C), and other applicable provisions, amending the designation of the
Marshall Williamson Property located at approximately SW 61 st Court And SW
64th Terrace, from Small Lot Single-Family Residential District RS-4 to Low
Density Multi-Family Residential District RM-18 .
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 amending the designation of the Marshall
Williamson Property located at approximately SW 61 st Court And SW 64th
Terrace, needs to be revised from Small Lot Single-Family Residential District
RS-4 to Low Density Multi-Family Residential District RM-18, to enable the
Madison Square project to be constructed with the appropriate minimum
number of units within the entire project.
; ,
ANALYSIS:
The proposed Zoning Map amendment will provide for a zoning map change to
RM-18 on the Marshall Williamson property. These units are part of a housing
strategy to provide workforce/affordable housing units known as the Madison
Square Development. The proposed changes have been recommended by the
community and are compatible with the surrounding area and will encourage
and enable the further development of affordable and workforce housing which
is needed in the area. 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.
