RESOLUTION NO. CRA 83-17-1041
A resolution recommending that the City of South Miami amend
the City’s Comprehensive Plan and rezone certain properties
located west of the MetroRail Transit Station, south of S.W. 70 th
Street, east of S.W. 61st Court and north of S.W. 72nd Street to the
T.O.D.D. (4+4 Story) land use designation and the TODD MU-5
zoning district in order to encourage and promote transit -
oriented redevelopment and affordable housing within the South
Miami Community Redevelopment Area.
WHEREAS, in 1978 Metropolitan Dade County adopted its Rapid Transit Zone ordinance
providing that properties in close proximity to the Rapid Transit corridor as to have significant
impact thereon would be subject to future development standards through a Station Area Design
and Development (“SADD”) program; and
WHEREAS, the South Miami SADD, adopted in 1980, identified an area immediately west
of the South Miami MetroRail station in the blocks between S.W. 72 nd Street, S.W. 62nd Avenue
and S.W. 69th Street as a significant commercial redevelopment area; and
WHEREAS, the commercial redevelopment area identified in the South Miami SADD is
included within the boundaries of the South Miami Community Redevelopment Area; and
WHEREAS, said commercial redevelopment area includes (1) a few contiguous parcels
that are currently zoned MO (Medium Intensity Office) and that have a comprehensive plan land
use designation of Mixed Use Commercial Residential (Four Story)(the “MO Area”); and (2) a few
contiguous parcels that are bisected by the TODD MU-4 and TODD MU-5 zones and that have a
comprehensive plan land use designation of T.O.D.D. (4+4 Story) (the “TODD MU-4 Area”); and
WHEREAS, with the exception of the MetroRail station to the east and Larkin Hospital to
the northwest, the MO Area and the TODD MU-4 Area are surrounded by properties, including
City Hall, that are zoned TODD MU-5 and have a land use designation of T.O.D.D. (4+4 Story); and
WHEREAS, in 2005 the City adopted the Community Redevelopment Area Phase II Plan
Supplement (the “CRA Plan”) which noted that zoning of the MO Area was inconsistent with the
City’s comprehensive plan because it did not permit residential development, and, in the
Recommended Action Plan stated that the City should process land use amendments and zoning
applications to eliminate inconsistencies as part of the 2005 -06 EAR-based amendments; and
WHEREAS, Section 163.3202(1), Florida Statutes, provides that each city must adopt or
amend land development regulations that are consistent with and implement its adopted
comprehensive plan; and
Res. No. CRA 83-17-1041
Page 2 of 3
WHEREAS, the City’s comprehensive plan incorporates Goals, Objectives and Policies
requiring the elimination of inconsistencies with the comprehensive plan, discouraging urban
sprawl, promoting growth in the area around the MetroRail station, increasing the tax base with
new development and redevelopment, expanding Transit Oriented Development Districts
("TODD"), revitalizing redevelopment areas, implementing the Community Redevelopment Area
("CRA") Plan, providing adequate supply of affordable housing, and addressing affordable
housing and redevelopment in CRA area; and
WHEREAS, the City has not rezoned the MO Area to bring it into consistency with the
City’s comprehensive plan pursuant to state statute; has not implemented the Goals, Objectives
and Policies of the comprehensive plan as stated above with regard to the MO Area and the TODD
MU-4 Area; and has not implemented the Recommended Action Plan of the CRA Plan regarding
the MO Area; and
WHEREAS, it is the mission of the SMCRA to improve the documented slum and blighted
conditions within the Community Redevelopment Area by using redevelopment tools and
incentives to promote affordable housing and foster economic development; and
WHEREAS, the inconsistency between the MO Area's zoning and land use designation,
the dual zoning of the lots in the TODD MU-4 Area and the incompatibility of the MO Area and
the TODD MU-4 Area with the surrounding TODD MU-5 zoned properties hamper the attainment
of the goals of both the City's comprehensive plan and the CRA Plan; further, those anomalies
thwart redevelopment as envisioned by the CRA Plan, that is, redevelopment that would provide
well-designed, transit oriented developments which incorporate affordable housing and enhance
economic development for the benefit of the community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF
THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA THAT:
1. The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency Board will be the sponsor of
a small-scale land use plan amendment to change the land use designation of the MO Area from
Mixed Use Commercial Residential (Four Story) to T.O.D.D. (4+4 Story).
2. The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency Board will be the sponsor of
zoning amendments to change the zoning of the MO Area from MO (Medium Intensity Office) to
TODD MU-5 and to change the zoning of the TODD MU-4 Area to TODD MU-5.
3. The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency Board urges the City
Commission of the City of South Miami to instruct the City Manager and the Planning and Zoning
Department at the next regularly scheduled City Commission meeting to assist the South Miami
Community Redevelopment Agency Board in its sponsorship of the land use plan amendment
and the zoning amendments authorized by this Resolution by preparing city agency-initiated
amendment documentation and in processing and expediting a small-scale land use plan
amendment to change the land use designation of the MO Area from Mixed Use Commercial
Res. No. CRA 83-17-1041
Page 3 of 3
Residential (Four Story) to T.O.D.D. (4+4 Story) and zoning amendments to change the zoning of
the MO Area from MO (Medium Intensity Office) to TODD MU-5 and to change the zoning of the
TODD MU-4 Area to TODD MU-5.
4. The South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency Board urges the City
Commission of the City of South Miami to consider adopting incentives to encourage the
inclusion of affordable housing in multi-family and mixed use projects, which incentives may
include but would not be limited to subsidies, including the use of TIF revenues as affordable
housing subsidies within the Community Redevelopment Area, and incentives such as citywide
bonuses in height and floor area in areas where increased intensity of development would not
adversely and directly impact single family homes.
3. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 11th day of December, 2017.
