WHEREAS,
A joint effort which included the City government, property owners,
residents, homeowners, merchants, consultants, committees, and
South Miami Hometown, Inc., was undertaken in 1992 and 1993 to
determine a desired future for the City's downtown district; and
That effort included an extensive design and analysis process, and
incorporated an urban design charrette in November 1992 in which
many individuals and groups participated; and
A document entitled the 'Hometown Plan' was produced
summarizing the desired physical outcome and proposed strategies
for implementation; and
The 'Hometown Plan' accepted in principle by the City Commission
via Resolution 14-93-9358, recommends that modifications to the
City's Land Development Code must be made; and
The Commission now wishes to implement the recommendations;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND
CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI,
FLORIDA:
Section 1. That the Land Development Code of the City of South Miami be, and
hereby is, amended to add a new Article VII, as follows:
ARTICLE VII, HOMETOWN DISTRICT OVERLAY ORDINANCE
20-7.1 TITLE.
This Article shall be known as the "Hometown District Overlay
Ordinance" (HD).
20-7.2 INTENT, APPLICABILITY, AND BOUNDARIES
A. Intent.
These land development regulations reinforce South Miami's Comprehensive
Plan by establishing new standards for development as an overlay to existing
development regulations within the boundaries of 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, by the following actions:
~
"
1. Enhance South Miami's community identity and sense of place through
the design and placement of buildings and streets to create a distinct
"hometown" town center.
2. Reduce commuter traffic demand on streets within tbe Hometown
District to permit wider sidewalks and reduced traffic noise, velocity,
and air pollution.
3. Use buildings, arcades, trees, and modifications to street widths, curbs
and sidewalks to create a shaded, interesting and safe environment that
works for pedestrians as well as for cars.
4. Emphasize the use of incentives such as reduced parking requirements
and expedited permit processing to achieve a balance of retail, service,
office, and residential uses characteristic of healthy town centers.
5. Implement a parking code that treats parking as an element of public
infrastructure in an urban center (instead of a private matter in a strip
center) and that recognizes the shared parking benefits of vertically
mixed development and the opportunities of an enhanced Metrorail
connection.
6. Establish a development review process that is timely and predictable
and tbat requires no discretionary review of projects that conform to the
specifications provided in these new standards.
B. Applicability.
The requirements of this Article shall be in addition to each and every other
requirement of the City of South Miami Land Development Code (Code),
and in tbe case of conflict, the provisions of this Article shall control.
C. Boundaries.
The boundaries of the HD shall be as delineated on the HD Regulating Plan,

1. On-street spaces adjacent to a lot shall count toward the parking
requirements for that lot; a partial space longer than 11' shall count as
a full space.
2. Where arcades are optional, buildings with arcades shall receive an
additional 5% reduction in the required number of spaces.
3. In addition to the above, one of the following may apply:
a. 2-story buildings shall receive a 15% reduction in the required
number of spaces.
b. Buildings of two or more stories with uses from two of the
three use categories provided herein under "Permitted Uses,"

in the required number of spaces.
C. Procedure.
I. The required number of spaces shall first be calculated pursuant to
Section 20-7.12 for each permitted use. The appropriate reduction in
parking spaces shall then be calculated as provided in Section 20-7.6B
above. If the reduction calculated includes a fraction less than a whole
number, the reduction calculated shall be rounded up and subtracted
from the required (unadjusted) number of spaces to determine the
adjusted parking requirement.
2. The difference between the number of spaces provided, including on
street parking, and the number of spaces required shall then be
determined. If there are fewer spaces provided than required, the
applicant must pay into the Parking Infrastructure Trust Fund a fee, as
determined from time to time by the Parking Committee, reflecting the
actual land and construction costs for parking, for each space required
but not provided. Monies paid into the Parking Infrastructure Trust
Fund shall be placed in a trust account separate from general funds and
may be used only for improvements to the city parking infrastructure
to increase parking capacity or to enhance use of existing parking
capacity.
3. Historic or Contributive Buildings are exempt from all parking
requirements.
4. Any changes in use in a building will require a re-calculation in the
required parking pursuant to B above. If the new combination of uses
requires additional parking spaces, a fee, as determined from time to
time by the Parking Committee, must be paid into the Parking
Infrastructure Trust Fund. If fewer spaces are required, no refunds will
be paid.

20-7.13 REGULATING PLAN --INTENT.
The Regulating Plan graphic is a site-specific component of the Land
Development Regulations for the Hometown District. For each lot,
information is designated such as: the location and dimensions of Build-to
Lines; locations where arcades over the sidewalk are required, and
representative locations where arcades are permitted but optional; locations
for alleys or rear accessways, and curb cuts; locations where outdoor dining
is pre-approved; and locations of special areas and Contributive Buildings.
20-7.14 REGULATING PLAN --SPECIAL AREAS.
Because of the irregular geometry of a few lots caused by the intersection of
US 1 with other streets in the Hometown District, and other lot-configuration
constraints, certain properties may not be required to meet all of the
provisions in the Basic Standards but may be subject to customized
regulatory conditions instead, at the discretion of the Director of Building,
Zoning and Community Development. The customized regulatory conditions
for each of the Special Areas are as follows:
A. Special Area #1:
Maximum Lot Coverage and minimum Open Yard Space requirements are
waived for properties in this area. Building Frontage requirements shall be
observed for property lines facing both Red Road and US 1. Design is subject
to ERPB approval.
B. Special Area #2:
Maximum Lot Coverage and minimum Open Yard Space requirements are
waived for properties in this area. Buildings shall have two front sides,
meeting storefront design requirements. Building Frontage requirements
shall be observed for all frontages including US1, SW 58th Avenue, and SW
71st Street. Design is subject to ERPB approval.
C. Special Area #3:
A gasoline/service station is a permitted use in this area, subject to ERPB
approval of the specific design. For any other use, Building Frontage
requirements shall be observed for property lines facing both US 1 and SW
73rd Street.
20-7.15 ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS --INTENT.
The Architectural Standards are pre-approved and are intended to provide a
degree of predictability about the quality of building designs and to promote
harmony among buildings without requiring an appearance before and
approval by a review board for every project. Applicants with projects which
conform to these standards may obtain approval from the Departmental staff
without appearing before ERPB. Appearance before ERPB remains an
optional route. Every permissible option is not described herein; other
options may be approved by ERPB.
Wherever these Architectural Standards may conflict with the City of South
Miami Land Development Code, these Architectural Standards shall apply
for properties within the Hometown District.
The lists of permitted materials and configurations come from study of
traditional buildings found in South Florida and have been selected for their
appropriateness to the visual environment and climate.
14
A primary goal of the Architectural Standards is authenticity. The Standards
encourage construction which is straightforward and functional, and which
draws its ornament and variety from the traditional assembly of genuine
materials. The Standards generally discourage 'imitation' materials, such as
simulated wood, to avoid a tacky image for the neighborhood.
20-7.16 ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS
REQUIREMENTS:
GENERAL
All construction must comply with The South Florida Building Code, the
latest edition, as amended and adopted by tbe Dade County Florida Board of
County Commissioners and any and all revisions made subsequent to that

20-7.17 ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS --LANDSCAPING:
All new landscaping shall conform to Section 20-4.5, Landscaping
Requirements, of the City of South Miami Land Development Code.
In addition, all new landscaping must incorporate the following xeriscape
principles. Only drip irrigation shall be used for trees, shrubs, and plants. Sod
shall be irrigated with moisture sensitive controls. Systems using timers are
not allowed.
20-7.18 ARCHITECTURAL STANDARDS --SIGNAGE & LIGHTING

20-7.26 STREET STANDARDS
A. Intent.
The Street Standards graphics establish certain dimensions and details for the streets
within the Hometown District. Each time a street is constructed or reconstructed, these
Standards shall be the basis for the design and engineering. The intent is to create streets
which appropriately serve the needs of pedestrians, cyclists and motorists, rather than
motorists alone. The design requirements for a given street depend on its location and
function, as indicated on the map below. These Standards are devised to:
I. Discourage high-speed car traffic and encourage drivers to be alert (through parallel
parking, correct travel-lane width, and suitable radii at corners);
2. Establish safe crossings for pedestrians (for example, through suitable turning radii at
intersections);
3. Maintain appropriate passage for emergency vehicles and occasional moving vans
(through 'clear zones' at corners, to allow smaller curb radii but admit larger vehicles
when required);
4. Establish safe sidewalks where pedestrians have minimum conflict with moving cars
(by regulating curb cuts and by locating parking and trees between sidewalks and
travel lanes);
5. Maintain shade and an agreeable appearance (through orderly spacing of full-size
canopy trees);
6. Minimize the heat buildup and to limit impervious area (through minimized asphalt
areas and through regular placement of canopy trees);
7. Efficiently provide parking (through parallel spaces onstreet).
B. Landscaping & Utilities:
All plant materials shall conform to the standards for Florida No.1 or better as given in
"Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants" Part I, 1963 and Part II, State of Florida,
Department of Agriculture, Tallahassee, or equal thereto. Grass sod shall be clean and
reas~nably free of weeds and noxious pests or diseases. Grass areas shall be planted in
specJes
normally grown as permanent lawns. Grass areas must be sodded. All new landscaping
must incorporate the xeriscape principles provided in Section 20-7.17.
Existing healthy plant material may remain and be incorporated into future streetscape
projects.
Tree requirements:
Trees within the public right of way shall be spaced evenly 20 to 30 feet apart, except
near street intersections where they may be spaced closer together. Trees shall be of the
species that will normally grow to a minimum height of twenty (20) feet with a mature
crown spread of twenty (20) feet or greater in Dade County and have trunks which can be
maintained with over seven (7) feet of clear trunk. Required trees shall have a minimum
diameter at breast height of four (4) inches and be not less than twelve (12) feet in overall
height at the time of planting.
Selected tree species shall be from the list of Native Trees in Section 20-4.5,(B),(3) of the
City of South Miami Land Development Code.
Palms may be used as street trees in front of buildings which have arcades or colonnades.
Approved species include: Royal, Washingtonian, and Sable Palmetto. In addition,
clusters of Paurotis, Alexander; or Macarthur are permitted for accent at mid-block and
street corner locations only.
Utilities:
All electrical power utilities, cable television and telephone lines shall run underground.

20-7.27 GREENS.
The Regulating Plan shows two areas as "greens". These properties may at
some time become public open spaces through purchase or gift. Until such
time as public ownership is established, the properties may be developed
consistant with the provisions of this Hometown District Overlay Ordinance.
20-7.28 DEDICATION OF STREETS AND ALLEYS.
(a) The Regulating Plan establishes location for new streets and alleys in
certain parts of the Hometown District. These streets and alleys are intended
to provide pedestrian and vehicular access for residents , clients, customers,
and visitors, as well as service and public safety access to the building that
will be constructed along these streets. The dedication of these streets and
alleys is necessary to achieve the previously described intent of this
Hometown District Overlay Ordinance, to invigorate the economic and social
vitality of South Miami's main street business center.
(b) When new development is proposed along a street and/or alley shown on
the Regulating Plan, the right of way for the street and alley along the subject
parcel must be dedicated to the City of South Miami for public access.
(c) In a limited number of instances the Regulating Plan shows streets and
alleys penetrating existing buildings. Dedication of these streets and alleys
for public access is required only when the site is redeveloped at ground level
along 50% or more of the street or alley frontage within the applicant's
property.
Section 2. If any section, clause, sentence, or phrase of this Ordinance is held to be
invalid or unconstitutional by any court of competent jurisdiction, then said holding
shall in no way affect the validity of the remaining portions of this Ordinance.
Section 3. It is the intention of the City Commission, and it is hereby ordained, that
the provisions of this ordinance shall become and be a part of the Code of the City of
South Miami, Florida. The sections of this ordinance may be renumbered or relettered
to accomplish such intention, and the word "ordinance" may be changed to "section,
"article", or other appropriate word.
