BACKGROUND:
The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) owns approximately 1.2 acres of
property on the south side of SW 64th Street generally referred to as Madison Square. The
CRA's planning document designates the area for a mixed-use redevelopment proposal that will
create an anchor for the north end of SW 59 th Place and help stimulate revitalization efforts in
the area.
For the purposes of the development review, the property is described as either East or West
Madison Square, with SW 59 th Place serving as the divider. This memo focuses on the zoning
requests for East Madison Square; the West Madison Square requests are addressed in a
separate memo. The East property consists of six (6) parcels on the south side of SW 64 th Street
and the east side of SW 59 th Place as shown in the highlighted area below:

Page 4 of 9
Twenty-six (26) parking spaces will be available on-site. Pursuant to Section 20-4.4 of the LOC,
five (5) spaces on SW 64 th Street can be credited to the project for a total of thirty-one (31) spaces.
A bus stop located on SW 59 th Place prohibits the development of additional on-street spaces.
A landscape buffer separates the parking lot from the properties to the south and east. The site
plan complies with the setback, FAR and impervious coverage standards of the LOC.
The attached exhibit contains the plans for both the East and the West properties. Sheet AO.l
illustrates the concept plan for both the East and the West properties. Sheets AO.2(E), A1.2.1,
and A1.2.2 provide the site plan, floor lay-out and conceptual elevati6ns for the East side.
REQUEST:
As proposed, the project requires the following approvals, which are described and analyzed
below:
1. A Special Use to allow a height of three-stories.
2. A Variance to allow a reduction in the number of parking spaces provided.
3. A Unity of Title
ANALYSIS:
1. A Special Use to allow a height of three-stories.
The SR zoning district allows a height of four stories or fifty (50) feet. This provision is limited,
however, by Section 20-3.5(0) Properties Abutting Single-Family Zoning Districts of the LOC
which states:
(1) Notwithstanding the dimensional requirements of the zoning use district in which a
property is located, if that property is abutting (common border or separated by a right-
of-way) to a single-family zoning district the maximum height of any new building or any
vertical addition to an existing building on that property is limited to two stories,
however, additional height may be obtained via the special use permit process as set
forth in Section 20-S.B.
As noted above, the project abuts a single-family zoning district on three sides (north, east and
south) and is designed at three (3) stories.
Special Use applications are controlled by LOC Section 20-5.8 Special use approvals, as follows:
(1) Prior to approving a special use, the city commission shall find that such use meets the
conditional requirements set forth in Section 20-3.4 and that it:

(a) Will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the
vicinity of the proposed use;
(b) Will not be detrimental to the public welfare or property or improvements in the
neighborhood; and
(c) Complies with all other applicable Code provisions.
(2) Additional Conditions. The city commission may designate such additional conditions in
connection with a special use as will, in its opinion, assure that such use will conform to
the foregoing requirements.
The conditional requirements of Section 20-3.4 include general requirements that apply to all
applications as well as special requirements that apply to specific types of special uses. There
are no special requirements for allowing additional stories, so only the general requirements
apply:
(1) All such uses shall comply with all requirements established in the appropriate zone use
district, unless additional or more restrictive requirements are set forth below or by the
City Commission.
(2) All such uses shall be determined to be of a compatible and complementary nature with
any existing, planned or anticipated surrounding uses.
(3) A public hearing shall be held by the City Commission to determine the overall
compatibility of the use with the surrounding neighborhood.
(4) If a special use is, in the future, determined by the Director of the Planning and Zoning
Department or the City Commission, to be adversely affecting the health, safety or
welfare, including quiet enjoyment, of persons residing or working in the vicinity of the
proposed use, or otherwise to be detrimental to the public welfare or property or
improvements in the surrounding neighborhood, or to be not in compliance with any
other applicable Code provisions, the special use approval may be modified, with
conditions of approval revised or added to alleviate such adverse effect, or revoked by
the City Commission upon notification and public hearing.
STAFF RESPONSE:
After review of the project, the proposed building complies with conditions and requirements
listed in both Section 20-5.8(B) and 20-3.4(A) of the LDC in that:
JKT
o Increasing the height of the building from two (2) stories to three (3) should not adversely
affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the area, nor will it be
detrimental to the public welfare or property or improvements in the neighborhood;
o The proposed building complies with other applicable Code provisions regarding size and
setbacks;
o While most buildings in the area are single-story, the nearby churches have elements or
architectural features that are comparable in height to the proposed building;

o The proposed building is of a compatible and complimentary nature with the existing,
planned or anticipated surrounding uses.
Finally, Section 20-5.8(C) of the LDC provides that an approval shall lapse after six (6) months if
not master building permit which implements the special use has been issued for such use. The
City Commission may specify a longer approval period for good cause.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION:
Following a public hearing on May 30,2017, the Planning Board voted five (5) ayes to one (1)
nay to recommend approval of the special use with Staffs recommended conditions.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Commission approve the special use application with the
following conditions:
1. That the building be limited to three (3) stories in height; and
2. That the project is developed in substantial compliance with the plans prepared by Fanjul
& Associates, LLC and attached to this memo.
Further, Staff recommends that the City Commission consider a longer approval period to ensure
the developer adequate time to obtain the master building permit.
2. Variance to allow a reduction in the number of parking spaces provided.
The proposed project consists of approximately 3,566 sf of commercial space and twenty (20)
housing units. Based on this design, a total of fifty-four (54) parking spaces are required per
Section 20-4.4 of the LDC:
Retail Parking Spaces Required
3,566 ~ 1 Parking Space
1 x 300 ~ ~ 12 Parking Spaces
Plus
Residential Parking Spaces Required
20'lffift.5 2 Parking Space

Thirty-one (31) spaces are shown on the proposed site plan, for a shortage of twenty-three (23)
spaces. Of the thirty-one (31) spaces available, twenty-two (22) will be allocated for the
residential units (Le., one space per unit plus two visitor spaces); the remaining nine (9) spaces
will be allocated for the commercial tenant(s). The City and CRA are negotiating with the nearby
churches to provide additional parking for the project. However, since the negotiations have not
been finalized a variance approval is necessary.
Pursuant to Section 20-5.9 of the LDC, a variance for off-street parking can be reviewed and
permitted by the City Commission at a public hearing, after a recommendation by the Planning
Board. Variance decisions shall be based on an affirmative finding as to each of the following
criterion:
JKT
1. The variance is necessary to relieve particular extraordinary conditions relating to a
specific property;
Response: The site's small size and dimensions make this a particularly challenging site
to develop.
2. Denial of the variance would result in hardship to the owner. Hardship results if the
restriction of the zoning ordinance, when applied to a particular property, becomes
arbitrary, confiscatory or unduly oppressive because of conditions of the property that
distinguish it from other properties under similar zoning restrictions;
Response: Development of the property is limited by its size, dimensions, and the code
requirements that limit height and impervious coverage. These factors combine to make
it difficult to comply with the parking requirements. Further, denial of the variance will
impede the development of much needed affordable housing for South Miami and
commercial tenants that will offer essential goods and services within walking distance of
many residents.
3. The extraordinary conditions and circumstances do not result from the actions of the
applicant;
Response: The neighborhood was platted with small, narrow lots that make it difficult to
assemble sites large enough to accommodate a mixed-use development that complies

with all the current LDC requirements and meets the community's objectives.
Consequently, the extraordinary conditions and circumstances do not result from the
actions of the applicant.
4. The requested variance is the minimum variance necessary to make possible the
reasonable use of the land, building or structure;
Response: The project is designed to help achieve the community's goal of providing as
many affordable units as possible, while still being sensitive to the scale of the
surrounding neighborhood and limiting impacts on the nearby neighborhood. While a
parking structure might allow additional parking, it's unlikely that a structure would fit on
the property2. Further, if a structure was physically possible, the building would be
disproportionate and out of keeping with the character of the neighborhood .
Consequently, the requested variance is the minimum necessary to make possible the
reasonable use of the land.
5. That the approval of the variance will be consistent with the general intent and purpose
of the Land Development Code, and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or
otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
Response: The purpose of the SR district is lito maintain the basic specialty retail character
of the Sunset Drive commercial area by encouraging comparison retail uses at the
pedestrian-oriented grade level and office and residential uses on the upper floors of all
buildings" (Sec. 20 -3.1(14)). All other properties with an SR designation are in the
Hometown District Overlay and, as such, are allowed a twenty-five percent (25%) parking
reduction for mixed-use buildings. Parking reductions for mixed-use buildings are not
uncommon. If that reduction were applied to this project, only forty-one (41) spaces
would be required. Consequently, approval of the variance will be consistent with the
general intent and purpose of the LDC and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or
otherwise detrimental to the public welfare.
Finally, Section 20-5.9(A), Expiration of Variance Approvals of the LDC provides that variances
shall lapse after one (1) year if no building permit has been applied for in accordance with the
request and if the City Commission has not specified a longer approval period for good cause
shown.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
Following a public hearing on May 30,2017, the Planning Board voted five (5) ayes to one (1) nay
to recommend approval of the requested variance.

Mrs. Tompkins stated that the items before the Board pertain to the parcels of land formally known
as Madison Square. Because of the geographic location of each of the parcels, the project was
further divided into Madison Square East and Madison Square West. Mrs. Tompkins then
recommended that the items be grouped together between the East and West projects and
reviewed accordingly. Mr. Basu recommended that the presentation be for the entire project and
then hold separate discussions on the items for both the east project and the west project. Mr.
Basu then questioned how the vote on the items would be performed. Mr. Pepe stated that the
items would need to be voted on separately but could be discussed as a group.

property as legally described herein.
Ms. Kahn read the item into the record.
Mrs. Tompkins presented the complete Madison Square project to the Board.
2
Ms. Fischer stated that the Board is being asked to vote on an increase from two (2) stories to
four (4) stories. She then asked why is the Board being asked to vote on this type of change
when all the backup provided proposes a height of three (3) stories.
Mrs. Tompkins stated that the reason behind this is that staff wanted to provide the City
Commission with options for the height. She then pointed out that Staff is recommended that
the building be limited to three (3) stories in height.
Dr. Philips asked about the location of entry into the building. Arturo Fanjul, the architect of
record for the project explained the entrances into building #2 to the Board.
Ms. Kahn asked if the plans provided are specifically related to Family Dollar. Mr. Pepe explained
the process by which a developer could propose a project to the South Miami Community
Redevelopment Agency (SMCRA). He then stated that the project before the Board is tied to
Family Dollar. In return for a Family Dollar being placed in the project, the developer will build
the project. Ms. Kahn then responded that the vote on the items listed for review would be tied
to the LLC that owns the proposed Family Dollar that will be in the Madison Square project, but
there are options for other proposals. Mr. Pepe stated yes to the response from Ms. Kahn.
The Chairperson opened the floor to public comments on the Complete Madison Square.
• Bishop Larry Jones -Support
• Marice Chael-Support
• Levy Kelly -Support
The Chairperson closed the floor to public comments on the Complete Madison Square
Project.
The Board grouped the items in the following order:
• Madison Square West -PB-17-008 & PB-17-011
• Madison Square East -PB-17-009 & PB-17-010
Madison Square West
Mr. Basu allowed for each of the Board members to speak on the items pertaining to Madison
Square West
• Mr. Melow
Mr. Melow stated that he was for the project.
• Ms. Glavey
Ms. Glavey reiterated the need for affordable housing was prevalent. She also stated
that the additional housing was in line with the both the City's Land Development Code
and Comprehensive Plan. She then commended the way in which the parking was
handled for the project. Last, she stated that there were some design tweaks that could
be made to the elevations that would make the project better.
3
• Ms. Fischer
Ms. Fischer stated that anyone who thinks that she was against the Madison Square
project is mistaken. She then reiterated that she is for affordable housing in the City.
She added that the City will never get consensus for four (4) story tall Madison Square
project. She stated that to limit the parking in this type of area is considered
discrimination. If parking is going to be limited, then it should be limited across the
board for all multi-family buildings. She also mentioned that she has been hearing talk
about sharing parking spaces with the churches near the Madison Square project but
nothing has materialized yet. Last Ms. Fischer stated that for the betterment of the
community that we do get a Madison Square, she will be voting No on the four (4)
stories for Madison Square.
• Ms. Kahn
Ms. Kahn stated that she understands the impetus to weigh on the side of aesthetics,
but prefers to weigh her vote on needs of the people. She stated that there is a certain
irony when the discussion on parking and discrimination is mentioned. She stated that
the community has been fighting for this project for a long time. The area is pedestrian
friendly, with the Metro Rail station nearby. She also stated that she would vote for the
project to be four (4) stories and stated that she has heard the comments from the
community regarding Family Dollar and is not in favor of the future tenant, but thinks
that it is important to move forward and set the parameters for it. After Dr. Philips
spoke, Ms. Kahn added that that the discrimination lies in the fact that the area was
populated with its own businesses before. She then stated that part of this project is to
put affordable housing while the other part is to put the Family Dollar as an anchor to
stimulate business in the area. She closed with stating that she would like to see a
rebirth of self-sustaining businesses in the community.
• Dr. Philips
Dr. Philips recalled a different iteration of the project that would have been tall against
the adjacent single family residences. She then gave an example of how the height could
be managed so that the portions of the project had four (4) stories that was set back
further away from residential with the remaining portions being set at three (3) story
with the portions closer to the residences being set at two (2) stories. She also stated
that because the project is near public transportation, it is very generous to think that
each of the families living in the proposed residences will have two (2) vehicles. People
should be asked if they would like to give up one (1) of the parking spaces so that it
could be used for the commercial uses. She then stated that she was for the project.
• Mr. Basu
Mr. Basu stated that Madison Square has been the topic of discussion for a long time
and the best news is that the City has someone that is willing to finance the project. He
then stated that he has several issues with the project which are as follows:
4
1. Affordable Housing -How does the city safeguard the affordable housing so that it is
available for South Miami residents. Mr. Pepe explained that the development
agreement speaks to the requirements for obtaining housing in the project. Mr.
Basu then asked if there will be a combination of market rate and affordable
housing within the project, of which Mr. Pepe stated no. It will all be affordable
housing.
2. Parking -When it comes to parking, some of the residents will not have two (2)
vehicles. The project is within walking distance to public transportation. He also
feels that this is an opportunity where the community will come together and figure
out how to resolve the parking issue.
3. SW 64 th Street -the street has a wide ROW with different uses that allows for
multimodal transportation. Because of that, there should be a comprehensive look
at the corridor.
4. Transitional Zoning -The design is sensitive to the transitional zoning from
commercial to residential. He then asked if the third (3) floor could be set back
further to aid in this transition. If not along SW 64th Street, at least along the SW 60th
Avenue side.
Motion: Dr. Philips moved to approve PB-17-008 as presented with Staffs recommendations.
The motion was seconded by Mr. Melow.
Ms. Fischer stated that there are more opportunities for affordable housing. To put all the
density into one (1) project is not the right thing to do. Affordable housing should be scattered
throughout the city as opposed to one specific location. She closed by stating that when a large
amount of pressure is applied to a specific project, it will never work out.
Ms. Glavey encouraged everyone to google parking best practices. She then stated that this
would be first time that it was implemented in the City which is an innovative thing to do. She
also recommended that there be car share for the project.

• Ms. Fischer stated that eleven (11) out of ninety-one (91) units in the Metro South building
across from City Hall have been allocated to South Miami residents. After looking into why this
was the case, she found out that the building only had a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy.
Because of that the company managing the building doesn't have to disclose any information
until the Certificate of Occupancy has been issued. She then stated that she still wants to know
how any units will be allocated to South Miami and that she would like to see that a majority of
those units allocated for South Miami residents.
The Chairperson closed the floor to public comments and any new business.
