MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Mayor and City Commissioners
From: Steven Alexander, City Manager
CC Dwayne Williams, Planning Director
Date: November 17, 2015 Agenda Item NO.,-':2
SUBIECT:
An Ordinance Adopting the City of South Miami 2015 Text Amendments to the
Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Element, And Authorizing Transmittal To The
Florida Department Of Economic Opportunity and Review Agencies.
"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 Madison Square, it is necessary
to provide for a sufficient level of development in order to provide sufficient housing and
to qualify for funding opportunities. Increasing the residential development density to
provide for the development of sustainable affordable and workforce housing is an
appropriate means to implement this strategy and it is encouraged by the State of Florida's
policies to provide 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 increase in density and the Madison Square project itself are needed to address the
growing affordable, and workforce level housing needs of Miami-Dade and the City of
South Miami. The proposed increase in density will also generate the number of units
needed for the tax credit application to develop the Madison Square project.
ANALYSIS:
The City's Comprehensive Plan, Chapter 1 Future Land Use Element, was established to
implement goals, objectives and policies within the City related to future land use
categories and density. To this end and by separate action, the City Commission will
consider increasing the residential density for the Mixed Use Commercial/Residential
(Four Story) land use category for affordable and workforce housing from 24 dwelling
units per acre to 30 dwelling units per acre, but only within the area boundaries of the
Community Redevelopment Area (north of Dixie Highway/U.S. Route 1 as they existed on
October 14, 2015) as may be allowed by, an in the manner set forth in, the City's Land
Development Code.
In order to ensure a mix of office, retail and residential uses, the Comprehensive Plan
currently requires that a minimum of two of the these uses must be developed within this
category. It provides that for residential projects, at a minimum, at least one floor must
contain some retail. Thus this requirement would be satisfied for residential projects that ~
are 100% affordable, low affordable and workforce housing if retail is provided in a
portion of the first floor of one building within a multi-building project, regardless of
whether the buildings are located on separate parcels. The proposed ordinance also
provides a change for retail and office projects to allow more flexibility in the amount of
retail and office space needed. Thus, for retail projects it is proposed that at a minimum,
at least one floor must contain some residential or office. For office projects, at a
minimum, at least one floor must contain some residential or retail. Other exemptions to
this "on~fti>0r" requirement may be provided in the Land Development Code.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION:
At the November 1 0, 2015 Planning Board meeting and following a public hearing, the
Board voted 4-1 to recommend approval of the ordinance with the condition tha,t the FAR
be changed to 2.0 only for affordable housing projects that are within the SMCRA area
north of US-1.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval by the City Commission.

PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION -NOV. 10, 2015
EXHIBIT A. 2015 CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
FUTURE LAND USE TEXT AMENDMENT
The subject text amendment to the City of South Miami's Comprehensive Plan is
intended to provide increased residential densities supportive of transit, and to
incentivize affordable and workforce housing development.
APPLICATION No. 1
CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
FUTURE LAND USE ELEMENT AMENDMENT
The following revIsions to the Future Land Use Element are recommended.
Recommended additions are denoted by underline; deletions by strikethrough.
1. Amendment LU-1 . Amend the interpretive text for the Mixed Use
Commercial/Residential (Four Story) Future Land Use category as follows:
Mixed Use Commercial/Residential (Four Story)
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 Transportation Element
by encouraging use of MetroRaii system. Pursuant to the recommendation by the
Department of Community Affairs to include a Floor Area Ratio (F./\.R.) in the
Comprehensive Plan (as opposed to the provisions in the Land Development Code),
tlhe City adopts a Floor Area Ratio (F.A.R.) of 1.6 for this land use categoryJ, v,hich is
the existing F./\'R. in the Land Development Code for the corresponding zoning district.
In addition, the City adopts a maximum residential density of 24 dwelling units per acre,
except that north of South Dixie Highway/U.S. Route 1 and within that portion of the City
of South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency area boundaries as they existed on
October 14. 2015. the maximum residential density shall be 30 units per acre. and the
F.A.R. of 2.0. for affordable and workforce housing as may be allowed by. and in the
manner set forth in. the City's Land Development Code.
1
In order to ensure a mix of uses, the City requires that a minimum of two of the above
uses must be developed within this category. For residential projects, at a minimum, at
least a portion of one floor must aUew contain some retail or office. in such amounts
as may be set forth in the Land Development Code, except that for affordable
housing projects located outside the Hometown Overlay District and entirely surrounded
by single family residential zoning districts. this requirement is satisfied if retail is
provided in a portion of the first floor of one building within a multi-building project,
regardless of whether the buildings are located on separate parcels. For retail projects,
at a minimum, at least one floor must contain some residential or office. in such
amounts as may be set forth in the Land Development Code. For office projects, at
a minimum, at least one floor must contain some residential or retail. in such amounts
as may be set forth in the Land Development Code. Other exemptions to this "one
floor" requirement may be provided in the Land Development Code.
