Afterathorough evaluation ofthe conditions surrounding theproperty
intheareaithasbeen concluded thatthe following specific policies
should apply:
1.Building height limitations should be as shown on Figure L-13.
2.Theland use designationforpropertyontheeastsideof
S.W.53 Avenue northofS.VI.74th Street,lots4 through 11,

27,7331,7341 S.W.63 Avenue,South Miami,Florida,should
be changed to office use from the current Medium Density
Residential use designated,with an additional restriction
ofRO Residential Office type development.
3.The City should ensure that action will be taken to test and
implement one or more of the traffic patterns for the South
Miami Hospital neighborhood reviewed as part of this compre
hensive planning process.

4.The existing RO zoning located onthe south sideof Sunset
Driveshouldremainandshouldnot be permittedtoextend
southward or westward beyond S.W.64thCourt.
5.Thetownhousezoning located immediatelysouthof Item 5

along thewestsideof S.W.63Court.
The construction of the six story office building on the property
locatedatthe corner of S.W.62ndPlaceand S.W.72ndStreethas
significantly changed the conditions affecting the adjacent properties,
Theconstructionofsaid building and the noiseassociatedwithit
and its air conditioning units has changed the immediately surrounding
environmrnt to such a degree that those properties on the east side
of S.W.63rd Avenue,north of S.W.74th Street,are no longer
appropriateformediumdensity residential uses.Changingtheland
use on the east side ofS.W.63rd Avenue to office use with a restric
tion of "RO"Residential Office development will prov ide a logical
stepdowninbothbuildingheightandintensitybetweenthesixstory

Avenue.Further,the RO zoning district is specifically intended to
beusedasatransitionalzoningdistrict.Thedistrictregulations
providedintheROzoningdistrict will ensurethatnewdevelopment
willhavearesidentialcharacterand will providethesame25foot
landscaped front yardthat the residential uses in the area are
required toprovide.
The amount ofland involved inthischangeoflanduse designation
wouldbe approximately 1.27acresand is describedaslots4through
11,BeaverHomesites,PB 41/69.It is the remainingmediumdensity
residential land on the east sideof S.W.63rd Avenue and north of
S.W.74th Street.
UndertheROfloorarearatio(FAR)restrictions the maximum amount
ofnew office spacethatcouldbe constructed onallofthelandin
question would be only approximately 26,000 square feetin three
separate buildings.Theamountof traffic generated bytheseoffices
wouldbe approximately 320 vehicle tripsperday.That would
representanet increase of approximately 220vehicletripsperday
overthe current landuseinthearea.Further,ifa parking lot

ashasbeen suggested,thatwouldreducethenet traffic generation
ofthe proposed landusechangeto107vehicletripsperdayon
S.W.63rd Avenue,adjacent tothe residential area.While this
represents a significant increase in traffic it should not create
an unbearable situation,particularly when someofthe other recom
mended traffic changes intheareaare implemented.In fact,there
could be a net reduction of traffic on S.W.63rd Avenue when the
recommended traffic changes are implemented in conjunction with
thechangeofland use.
