APPLICANT Residences at SoMi Parc, LLC
PROPERTY INFORMATION
Owned by Miami -Dade County (MDC) and known as South Miami Gardens, the site consists of
two parcels and is developed with fifteen (15) two-story buildings containing fifty-eight (58)
public housing units that were built in the mid-1970s. Bounded by SW 68' Street, SW 5811 Place,
SW 6711 Street, SW 66' Terrace and SW 61s` Drive, the entire site is approximately 6.6 acres in
size. SW S9` Place separates the two (2) parcels. The property was rezoned in 2019 to Transit
Oriented Development District Mixed -Use 5 (TODD (MU-5) to facilitate redevelopment and
create a mixed -income community that included additional affordable and workforce housing
and market rate units along with new commercial space. This zoning change boosted the
apartments' ranking in the County's list of redevelopment projects, and helped make the project
more appealing to potential developers.

property. Related Urban Development Group, LLC (RUDG) was selected as the lessee. RUDG has

new affordable and workforce housing. Residences at SoMi Parc, LLC, a subsidiary of RUDG, has
now subleased the property and is the Applicant for this request.
THE PROJECT
The application was submitted to allow the development of a multi -building, mixed -use project

* Floor plans for each building along with a breakdown of the units by type (i.e., number
of bedrooms), the number of each unit type provided, the minimum size required by
code, and the actual size provided are shown on Sheets FP-1 through FP-9
* Renderings of each building facade, street cross -sections, and aerial renderings and
shown on Sheets EL-1 through EL-6 show.
* Minor construction details are shown on Sheet DT-1.
* The tree disposition information, landscape plans, hardscape materials, plant
information and planting details are given Sheets LA-101, -102, -201, -202, - 301, -401, -

The western parcel will contain three buildings: a seven -story mixed -use building consisting of
residential and ground floor commercial ("Building A") that fronts SW 59th Place; a three-story
residential building that fronts SW 615t Court ("Building B"); and a second three-story residential
building that fronts SW 66th Terrace ("Building C"). Three public plazas, a private playfield, a shade
pavilion, and a tot lot complete the site. Between the three buildings, a total of 172 residential
units will be provided on this parcel. Building A will also include loading berths, bicycle parking,
and 215 parking spaces.
The eastern parcel will also be developed with three buildings: a seven -story mixed -use building
consisting of residential and ground floor commercial space that fronts onto SW 681h Street
("Building D") and two buildings each containing ten two-story townhomes fronting onto SW 67th

of Sec. 20-8.17 in terms of the building's placement on the property, setbacks, stepbacks, and
open space.
Staff Response: The project complies with Sec. 20-8.17.
Special Exception for a Large -Scale Development:
Section 20-8.9(C) of the LDC provides the following general requirements for a Large -Scale
Development (LSD):
(1) All such uses shall comply with all requirements established in the appropriate zoning
district, unless additional or more restrictive requirements are set forth below or by the
City Commission.
(2) All such uses must be of a compatible and complementary nature with any existing or
planned surrounding uses.
(3) The City Commission shall determine the overall compatibility of the development
with the existing or planned surrounding uses.
Staff Response: The project complies. The uses comply with the TODD (MU-5) district and
the area is already a mix of multi -story, multi -family buildings and small commercial uses similar
to what's proposed. Properties to the south and east have the same designations on the Future
Land Use and Zoning maps, and further development of this nature is anticipated.
Section 20-8.9(D)(a) further provides that the City Commission must find that the development
also: (1) will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in the vicinity
of the proposed use; (2) will not be detrimental to the public welfare, property or improvements
in the neighborhood; and (3) complies with all other applicable Code provisions.
Staff Response: Staff believes that the project meets standards (1) and (2). Compliance
with standard (3) is described below, in Other Land Development Code Regulations.
Pursuant to Sec. 20-8.9(I), the Commission has the discretion to condition the granting of a
Special Exception on an agreement with the Applicant which includes all the conditions of
approval ("Development Agreement'). A separate agreement or covenant that provides for
8 1 P a a e

maintenance of common elements and any other condition specified as a prerequisite to
approval of the Special Exception shall also be signed by the owner.
Staff Response: Staff recommends that a Development Agreement be executed as well
as a maintenance covenant for the Public Plaza.
After this review, staff believes that the SoMi Parc application as proposed is consistent with Article
Vlll, Sections 20-8.1 through 20-8.17, and complies with the general requirements of Special
Exceptions (Section 20-8.9) of the Land Development Code.
Other Land Development Code Requirements
Landscape Plan:
Sections 20-4.5 and 20-4.5.1 detail the requirements for landscape plans and tree removals. In
general, the plans, as evidenced by the tables on Sheet LA-401 indicate compliance with a few
minor exceptions that can be easily addressed. This will be included as a recommended condition
of approval.
Concurrency Analysis:
An analysis of public facilities and services is required when a development permit is issued (LDC
Sec. 20-4.1(A)). The analysis ensures that the additional residents generated by a new
development can be provided with the appropriate level of public services. The attached exhibit
demonstrates that the project complies with, or is expected to comply with, the adopted level of
service standards.
Traffic Study:
As part of the application package, a Traffic Impact Analysis was prepared by Kimley-Horn and
Associates, Inc. (dated April 2021). Xavier Falconi of Calvin Giordano and Associates reviewed it
on behalf of the City. Currently, there are only minor issues with the width of the driveways and
interior directional signage in Buildings A and D.
South Miami Community Advisory Committee Recommendations
Miami Dade County has established a series of Community Advisory Committees (CAC) to help
foster and sustain civic engagement in various targeted areas of the county. The committees are
made up of community residents and are given the opportunity to identify community conditions
and needs, develop and implement plans, and monitor their effectiveness in improving the
conditions in which low-income people live. The subject property is within the jurisdiction of the
South Miami CAC.
The South Miami CAC reviewed the project on May 20, 2021 (see attached meeting minutes).
The Applicant indicated a commitment to providing a number of community benefits such as job
