City Manager - ERPB Appeal of Signage
REQUEST:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COIVIlI/IISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA,
RELATING TO THE GRANTING OF AN APPEAL FROM TIE DECISION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW &
PRESERVATION BOARD, REGARDING THE INSTALLATION OF SIGNAGE AT 5 900 SOUTH DIXIE HIGHWAY
AND REQUESTED BY THE CITY ADMINISTRATION, PURSUANT TO SECTION 2M.2 (A) OF THE LAND
DEVELOPMENT CODE.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The proposed signage approved by the Environmental Review & Preservation Board [ERPB] for
the building located at 5900 South Dixie Highway involves erection of channel lettering which is
proposed to be backlit by neon. Mounting electrified channel letters will permanently damage
the exterior of this historic resource and "contributive" building. In addition., is the opinion of
staff that the lettering will detract from the appearance and architectural integrity of the building.
This structure is designated as "historically significant" and included in the specified properties
to be protected under the Comprehensive Plan (Figure 1.4 and Objective 1-3). This building is
further identified as a "contributive building" by the Hometown District Overlay Ordinance for
its architectural merit and historical significance (definitions and Regulating Plan map excerpt).
Staff is firmly of the opinion that the proposed signage of metallic gold, channel lettering to be
back -lit by white neon is not appropriate for this historic building; however, the issue of greatest
concern to staff is that installation of individual letters, electric transformers and wiring required
for lighting will permanently damage the
recommended as an alternative.

Analysis of the Need for Redevelopment
Comprehensive Plan
There are three blighted areas in the City of South Miami, These are shown in Figure 1.8
(:page 1.36). Areas 1 and 2 are residential areas that contain a high proportion of
deteriorated and dilapidated housing units. A map of deteriorated and dilapidated
housing units appears in Figure 3.1 ( page 3.14) of the Housing Element. Large scale
redevelopment could be considered, but is not necessary♦ for Areas 1 and 2. Redevelopment
in these areas could occur on a parcel -bv- parcel basis or through the combination of ou
� s ' P
of parcels. Area 3 contains auto repair service businesses. Building deterioration is not
the cause of blight in this area. Such blight as exists is the result of overcrowdin g of uses on
land. Buildings are too small for the intensity of the repair work being undertaken. Sites
are too small. Work activities take place in front -yard areas. Vehicles in for service on
are stored in the street while they are not being worked on. The blight in Area 3 is not
likely to spread to adjoining areas because it is buffered by South Dixie Highway, the
Metrorail site, and commercial uses.
it
An extensive 100 -year floodplain covers most of the City's land area south of Dixie
Highway, plus a belt about 1,000 feet in width running north along the Brewer Canal.
There is a narrow 500 -year floodplain fringe along the edges of the 100 -year floodplain.
These floodplains are delineated in Figure 5.2 (page 5.5) of the Conservation Element.
Federal flood protection guidelines require that the first floor of all residences in the 100 -
year floodplain be elevated above the 100 -year flood elevation. If a storm of serious
magnitude destroys existing properties, redevelopment will be expected to comply with
Mood insurance redevelopment stanaards.
B storicauy Significant structures
The Dade County Historic Survey lists 19 sites that. based upon preliminary surveys, have
some historic or architectural significance. These include 12 housing sites and seven
non - residential properties; some sites have more than one building. The properties with
an asterisk have at least two "major significance'' ratings (architectural, historic or
contextual) and are shown on Figure 1.4 as the highest priority for preservation.

Goal 1 To preserve and enhance the City's small town character.
South Miami is a small town in the middle of one of the nation's most
important metropolitan areas. South Miami's small town character is a
tremendous asset for both its residents and the metropolitan community at
large. Preservation of the city's small town character is the most
important goal of the comprehensive plan. It shall guide all land use
decision making.
The results of the planning issues survey indicate clearly that the small
town character of South Miami is important to its residents. In
responding to the survey question "What do you like most about South
Miami ? ", resident - owners chose the small town character of the city more
often than any of the other 23 characteristics listed. Of the 709 resident -
owners who responded to this question, 22 percent identified the city's
small town character as one of the features they like most. Over eleven
percent of the respondents identified their long -time residency in the city
and about nine percent chose their neighbors as things they like most. In
addition, other factors contributing to the city's small town character were
chosen by many as the most4iked. Almost 14 percent of the respondents
identified the city's quiet residential streets as a most -liked feature,
while the quiet downtown area was chosen by eight percent. The Sunset -
Red Road shopping area was chosen by 9 percent of the respondents as one
of the features they liked most.
Objective 1.1 Eliminate uses inconsistent with the community character as set forth on
the Future Land Use Map. Elimination of such inconsistent uses shall be
accomplished with proper respect for the vested rights of property owners.
Amortization shall not be used to implement this objective.
Policy 1.1.1 Within one year of adoption of this plan, enact zoning modifications
including downzoning to assure implementation of the changes to the
Future Land Use Map. The land use map policies (pages 13 -26) and
categories (pages 3941) are hereby incorporated by reference in this
policy.
Policy 1.1.2 In reviewing proposed amendments to this plan and the Zoning Map,
compatibility with adjacent uses shall be the major determinant.
Policy 1.1.3 There shall be no additional intrusion of the residential -office land use
category into residential areas designated on the Future Land Use Map,
Objective 1.2 Achieve redevelopment and
redevelopment and renewal

Policy 12.1 Working with County HUD, pursue revitalization of the Hardee Drive
neighborhood through "in- fill" new construction, substantial
rehabilitation of housing and streetscape improvements.
Policy 1.2.2 The City shall work with Commerce Lane property owners to achieve a
more attractive and functional commercial area.
Objective 1.3 Preserve historic resources by experiencing no demolition or
reconfiguration of the specified resources.
Policy 1201 The Environmental Review and Preservation Board shall review all
development proposals to assure preservation of the City's limited historic
resources, if at all possible.
Policy 1.32 The historic character of Sunset Drive, as evidenced by its designation as
an historic roadway both to the east and west of the City, should be
continued with the City of South Miami.
