THE CITY OF PLEASANT LIVING
CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
VIA: Jane K. Tompkins, AICP, Planning Director
FROM: Steven Alexander, City Manager
Date: April 4, 2017
SUBJECT:
Agenda Item NO':i.a-
An Ordinance amending the Land Development Code, Article VII, "Hometown District Overlay
Ordinance", Sections 20-7.2 and 20-7.5 and Article VIII, "Transit-Oriented Development
District", Section 20-8.2 and 20-8.3 relating to the definition of "Story" and maximum building
height.
BACKGROUND:
The Hometown Overlay (HD) and Transit-Oriented Development Districts (TODD) of the land
Development Code limit the height of a story to fourteen feet (14'). At the same time, the
overall height limits of the underlying zoning district apply to properties in the Ho. The
Specialty Retail (SR) district, for example, limits building height to fifty feet (50'). With the
exception of TODD (MU-5), which has a one hundred foot (100') limit, the TODD (MU-4) and (LI-
4) sub-districts are also limited by the number of stories allowed. For example, TODD (MU-4)
has a two-story height limit. If each story is built at the maximum of fourteen feet (14'), the
overall building height can't exceed twenty-eight feet (28').
The restriction on the height of a story does not apply to commercial properties that are
located outside of the Hometown District or that are zoned something other than TODD.
In 2015, the Commission considered an ordinance amending the TODD regulations to allow a
first floor height of eighteen (18) feet. Staff believes the ordinance was drafted at least partially
in response to the discussion of the development plans for 6201 Sunset Drive. As that
ordinance was proposed, it would have required a unanimous vote to be approved, which it did
not receive.
REQUEST:
Staff requests approval of the proposed ordinance.
ANALYSIS:
A ground floor height limit of fourteen feet (14') can negatively affect a building and it's
desirability by retailers and other commercial users in a number of ways. For instance, retailers
Text Amendment Regarding Story Definition and Building Height
April 4, 2017
Page 2 of 2
generally want a large, open storefront so that shoppers' line-of-sight of the merchandise is
unobstructed. Retailers also often desire higher ceilings because of their psychological impact
on· customers, as they seem more open and inviting. Retail chains may also prefer to lease
spaces that fit their company standards in terms of space and lay-out, so that the chain can use
its standard designs and maintain its corporate image. Not having to create individual plans for
each store saves the company time and money, making the transition into a new space faster
and easier. Office and hotel developers have similar preferences, as they often want s~acious,
grand lobbies that convey a certain image or create a particular impression. '
From an architectural standpoint, allowing a higher ground floor height may also improve the
building's fa~ade. A taller ground floor Visually serves as a base and establish·es the proportion
for the upper floors. As a result, the base and the upper floors appear as a whole and integrated
building.
The proposed ordinance will give designers flexibility to create spaces that better fit the needs
of the end-users, foster a more pedestrian-friendly· environment, and create better
proportioned buildings, while still maintaining the existing maximum building heights.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Commission approve the proposed ordinance.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION:
The Planning Board held a public hearing on the proposed ordinance on March 14, 2017 and
recommended approval by a vote of six (6) ayes to one (1) nay.

V. Public Hearings
1. PB-17-007
Applicant: City of South Miami
An Ordinance amending the Land Development Code, Article VII, "Hometown District Overlay
Ordinance", Sections 20-7.2 and 20-7.5 and Article VIII, '7ransit-Oriented Development
District", Sections 20-8.2 and 20-8.3 relating to the definition of "StotY' and maximum
building height.
Ms. Tompkins read the title for PB-17-007 into the record and presented the item.
The Chairperson opened the floor to public comments on P8-17-007 •
• None at this Time
The Chairperson closed the floor to public comments on PB·17·007.
Dr. ph ilips stated that there is a typo on pg. 2 of the ordinance. It says "ration" when it should be
"ratio." Ms. Tompkins stated that it is a typo in the Land Development Code (LOC). Dr. Philips
then asked what the ratio was for floor area. Mr. Basu stated that it is based on land area in
relation to the size of a building. Mr. Greiner stated that if a property has a Floor Area Ratio
(FAR) of 1.6, it means that for every 100 square feet of land, you can have 160 square feet of
building. Dr. Philips then asked if someone wanted to building four (4) stories with a 50 foot
max, each floor would have to be an average of 12.5 feet high, to which Ms. Tompkins stated
yes.
Mr. Basu stated that this ordinance is only removing the requirement that the first floor has to
be 14 feet. He then asked if this change was ever done for the Hometown, to which Ms.
Tompkins stated that a similar change was attempted in 2015 but failed to secure the necessary
2
votes for adoption. Mr. Pepe added that definitions were added to the ordinance to ensure that
someone could not exceed the maximum height for the districts.
Ms. Fischer expressed her concerns with the proposed ordinance. She then went into detail
about a previous application that was going to have its loading and unloading in the street
because the trucks could not fit into the first floor of the building. At this time she expressed
concern over the unintended consequence of loading vehicles that would have to backup into
oncoming traffic in order to leave the building if the height were increased. She then stated that
she would like for the City Commission to continue reviewing site plans. Last, she stated that she
would give a movie theater a pass on the height. She would also Ii~e the Commission to review
these types of situations. Mr. Basu stated that in the example that was mentioned, the truck
could not fit inside garage of the building because of the low clearance for the first (Ioor. He
then added that once the vehicle is inside the garage, It wouldn't need to back out into the
street because it could turn around in the garage. Dr. Philips added that most trucks usually back
into the loading area so there wouldn't be a need to back out into traffic.

Ms. Kahn asked if attendance was required for the 7:00 p.m. workshop, to which Ms. Tompkins
stated yes. You are welcome to go to any of the other meetings but it's only required to attend
the 7:00 P.M. meeting.
Mr. Basu asked if any issues have arisen from the review of the LOC. Ms. Tompkins explained
that the consultant has been meeting with staff to review the LOC. The main reason for the
workshops is to find out what inconsistencies are in the LDe that the public has found and to
see what the public has found that works well.
Mr. Basu asked if Ms. Tompkins can provide the Board with a summary of the findings so far.
Ms. Tompkins stated that there aren't any drafts at this time. This meeting is only to hear the
thoughts of the Board.
