BACKGROUND:
The Applicant, Miami Veterinary Dermatology, LLC currently provides its specialized care of
animals with skin and ear disorders to several veterinary specialty centers in the Miami area. In
a desire to have a more centralized practice, the Applicant found a location at 6448 S. Dixie
Highway which is in the South Miami area that could fit their brand of service. Upon review of
the City’s Permitted Use Schedule, Section 20-3.3(D) of the Land Development Code (LDC), it was
determined that a Special Use approval by the City Commission would be required prior to the
commencement of any activities associated with the business.

REQUEST:
Miami Veterinary Dermatology, LLC, the Applicant, is requesting approval to permit an “Animal
Hospital/Veterinarian” use in a tenant space in the existing one-story commercial building
located at 6448 S. Dixie Highway, which is in the General Retail (GR) zoning district. Pursuant to
the regulations listed in the Permitted Use Schedule, Section 20-3.3(D) of the Land Development
Code (LDC), a Special Use permit is required for the operation of an Animal Hospital or
Veterinarian in the GR zoning district.
ANALYSIS:
Pursuant to the Special Use Conditions, Section 20-3.4 of the LDC, a special use may be approved
and permitted by the City Commission at a public hearing, after a recommendation by the
Planning Board, provided that such use complies with the general requirements, special
requirements, and any other conditions that the City Commission may consider appropriate and
necessary.When reviewing the project, the following items are noted:
The applicant’s intent is to lease a tenant space in the existing one-story commercial building
located at 6448 S. Dixie Highway (Subject Property).
As shown on the attached Land Title Survey, the parking area contains approximately fifty
(50) off-street parking spaces.
The property owner provided a breakdown of the square footages for the tenant spaces in
the building. Per that breakdown, the tenant space for the proposed veterinarian is
approximately 1,558 square feet.
After review of the City’s Zoning Map, it was determined that the subject property abuts the
following zoning districts:
o North: General Retail (GR)
o South: General Retail (GR)/Parks & Recreation (PR)
o East: Medium Density Multi-Family Residential (RM-24)
o West: Low Density Single-Family Residential (RS-3)
The City’s GR zoning district along the South Dixie Highway corridor contains other
veterinarian offices including:
o SVRC: The Pet Emergency Room – 6394 S. Dixie Highway;
o VCA South Dade Animal Hospital (Avian and Exotics) – 6380 S. Dixie Highway; and
o V Animal Clinic – 7535 SW 62 Avenue;
o South Miami Animal Clinic – 6100 S. Dixie Highway; and
o Florida Veterinary Cardiology, LLC – 7500 SW 61 Avenue (Recently Approved)
It is important to note that the City currently does not have any regulations that limit the
number of veterinarian offices in the GR zoning district.

Page 3 of 7
Because there is no work proposed for the exterior of the building or the parking area, the
applicant was permitted to provide a property survey in lieu of providing a site plan. The
Applicant also provided a proposed Floor Plan, sheet A1.0, for the tenant space. The floor
plan provided details the renovations that are proposed for the building. Currently, all
proposed renovations will be completely internal to the building and will consist of the
construction of lobby, examination rooms, office space, and other miscellaneous rooms
necessary for the day-to-day activities of the business.
The Neighborhood Awareness letter that was sent out by the applicant states that because
of the specialty service provided, emergency medical treatment would not typically be
rendered at the office. Additionally, the business is not expected to operate outside of the
typical hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday.
PARKING SPACE ANALYSIS
Pursuant to Section 20-3.3(D) of the LDC, the minimum parking space requirement for an “Animal
Hospital or Veterinarian” use is as follows:
One (1) space per four hundred (400) square feet of gross floor area.
Pursuant to the tenant breakdown provided by the property owner, the tenant space has a
square footage of approximately 1,558 square feet. Based on the information provided, the
minimum amount of off-street parking spaces required for the proposed Veterinarian is:1,5585?.?.1 × 1 ??????? ?????400 ?.?.= 3.895 ??????? ??????
Based on the calculations listed above, the minimum amount of off-street parking spacesneeded
to satisfy the parking requirement for the proposed use is four (4) parking spaces. This
information has been incorporated into the table below which provides a breakdown of the
tenant spaces in the building and their minimum parking requirement.

Based on the information provided, the current and proposed uses in the building will have a
combined minimum off-street parking space requirement of approximately, ninety-one (91)
parking spaces. While reviewing the Map of Boundary Survey, it was determined that
approximately fifty (50) off-street parking spaces are provided on the subject property.
As part of the letter of intent for the project, the applicant provided the City with a Zoning
Verification Letter that was signed on March 3, 2016, by then Assistant City Manager, Ms. Shari
Kamali. As part of the letter, Ms. Kamali states that the subject property was considered to have
nonconforming status as it related to the property’s minimum parking space requirement and
was granted grandfather status forPearl Art Supply, the original sole tenant in the buildingat the
time who previously occupied approximately 27,561 SF. The letter then states that any future
use that has a parking space requirement that is more intense than the minimum required for
the “Hobby, Toy, or Game Shop” use (One (1) space per three hundred (300) square feet of gross
floor area) would be required to either obtain a parking space variance from the City
Commission or comply with Section 20-4.4(A) of the LDC. Because the minimum off-street
parking space requirement for the “Animal Hospital or Veterinarian Use” is less intense than
that of the “Hobby, Toy, or Game Shop” use, it was determined that the parking requirement for
the proposed veterinarian will be satisfied, and no additional parking spaces will be required.
SPECIAL USE REGULATIONS
To be approved, the proposed Veterinarian must comply with the Special Use general
requirements listed in Section 20-3.4(A) of the LDC which are as follows:
Section 20-3.4(A) General Requirements.
(1) All such uses shall comply with all requirements established in the appropriate
zoning 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.

Additionally, the proposed Veterinarian must also comply with the Special Use special
requirements listed in Section 20-3.4(B)(21) of the LDC which are as follows:
Special Requirements - Section 20-3.4(B)(21) ANIMAL HOSPITAL/VETERINARIAN
(a) All such uses shall be located within a fully enclosed, air-conditioned,
soundproof structure.
(b) There shall be no overnight boarding of animals except for medical purposes.
(c) The hours of operation for visits and treatment will be 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Monday through Saturday; hours of operation shall not prevent emergency
medical treatment.
SPECIAL USE ANALYSIS
Section 20-3.4 of the LDC provides the standards against which this application must be reviewed.
The following is staff’s analysis of both the Special Use General and Special Requirements for the
proposed veterinarian that are quantifiable:
General Requirements
1.All such uses shall comply with all requirements established in the appropriate zoning use
district, unless additional or more restrictive requirements are set forth below or by the City
Commission.
Staff Response: The proposed use of a Veterinarian is a use that is permitted in the GR zoning
district but requires Special Use approval from the City Commission prior to the
commencement of any activities. Because the property was granted grandfather status as it
relates to parking, the proposed project will comply with the City’s minimum off-street
parking space requirement for the use and will also comply with all requirements established
for the GR zoning district.
2.All such uses shall be determined to be of a compatible and complementary nature with any
existing, planned or anticipated surrounding uses.
Staff Response:Currently, the proposed veterinarian will be surrounded by multi-family
residential to the east, retail establishments to both the north and south as well as single-
family residential to the west on the other side of South Dixie Highway. Given the nature of
the existing surrounding uses, the specialized care that will be provided by the proposed
veterinarian use will be compatible and complementary to the existing uses in the
surrounding area.
Special Requirements
1. All such uses shall be located within a fully enclosed, air-conditioned, soundproof structure.
Staff Response:Per the site plan and floor plan that were provided, all care for the animals
will be fully enclosed in the tenant space and air-conditioned. However, it is not readily clear
if the building will be soundproofed. Because of its proximity to the multi-family residential
6
6448 S. Dixie Highway Veterinarian Special Use Application
March 7, 2023
Page 6 of 7
property that is adjacent to the building, the applicant will be required to provide proof that
the tenant space will be a fully enclosed, air-conditioned, soundproof structure. Because of
that, it is recommended that this LDC regulation be made a condition of approval for the
project.
2. There shall be no overnight boarding of animals except for medical purposes.
Staff Response:The Floor Plan provided indicates that an area in the space will be uses for
cages. Because the LDC requires that there shall be no overnight boarding except for medical
purposes, a condition for approval has been recommended requiring that there will be no
overnight boarding of animals except for medical purposes.
3. The hours of operation for visits and treatment will be 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday through
Saturday; hours of operation shall not prevent emergency medical treatment.
Staff Response: Even though both the Letter of Intent and the Neighborhood Awareness
Letter state that the proposed veterinarian is not expected to operate outside of the typical
hours of 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, a condition for approval regarding the hours
of operation for the business has been recommended by Staff.
PLANNING BOARD RECOMMENDATION:
After a public hearing on February 14, 2023, the Planning Board voted six (6) to zero (0) to
recommend Approval to the City Commission of the proposed application.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Commission approve the Special Use application for the “Animal
Hospital/Veterinarian.” This approval should be subject to the following terms and conditions as
well as all applicable City ordinances, codes, rules, and regulations:
a. The “Animal Hospital/Veterinarian” use shall be located within a fully enclosed, air-
conditioned, soundproof structure. Evidence that the structure will be fully enclosed, air-
conditioned, and soundproofed shall be provided to the Satisfaction of the City;
b. There shall be no overnight boarding of animals except for medical purposes;
c. The hours of operation for visits and treatment will be 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Monday
through Saturday; hours of operation shall not prevent emergency medical treatment;
d. If required by the Code, all exterior renovations or modifications for the new
establishment may be subject to approval by the Environmental Review & Preservation
Board; and
e. If the 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.
f. The approved special use shall lapse after six (6) months if no master building permit
which implements the special use or certificate of occupancy has been issued for such
use and if the City Commission has not specified a longer approval period for good
cause.

Re: Miami Veterinary Dermatology, LLC -Application for Special Use Approval
Address: 6448 S Dixie Highway, South Miami. Florida
Folio Number: 09-4036-000-0500
Dear Mr. Flores:
Our firm represents Miami Veterinary Dermatology, LLC ("Miami Veterinary
Dermatology" or the "Applicant"), the prospective tenant of a portion of the property
located at 6448 S Dixie Highway in South Miami (the "Property"). The Property is located
in the General Retail ("GR") Zoning District. The Property's current use is commercial
retail and its future land use category is Commercial Retail and Office.
Pursuant to Section 20-3.3 of the City of South Miami Land Development Code
("LDC"), animal hospitals/veterinarian uses may be permitted in the GR District by
application for Special Use. The Applicant intends to lease one of the existing commercial
retail bays at the Property in order to operate a specialty, veterinary dermatology practice.
As such, the Applicant respectfully requests consideration and approval of its Special Use
Application.
I. Miami Veterinary Dermatology and Dr. Millie Rosales
Miami Veterinary Dermatology is owned and operated by Dr. Milagros "Millie"
Rosales, who practices at several veterinary specialty centers in the South Florida area.
Dr. Rosales is a board certified veterinary dermatologist, specializing in the care of
animals with skin and ear disorders. Since one of the main causes for skin and ear
problems in dogs and cats is allergies, Dr. Rosales also specializes in allergic disorders
of animals, comparable to a human allergist. Dr. Rosales has undertaken extensive post-

doctoral training in the diagnosis and treatment of skin, hair, ear and claw conditions of
animals. Veterinary dermatologists have the extra training to recognize unusual
dermatological conditions, that a general veterinarian may not be familiar with, and guide
the pet owner to the most direct diagnostic plan and treatment.
II. The Use, its Relationship to the Property, and Compliance with the Land
Development Code
The Applicant's proposed use does not affect the exterior of the Property, nor will
it increase the square footage of the existing building. Instead, the Applicant simply hopes
to occupy available and previously occupied tenant space within the existing building. The
tenant space will be modified in order to support the veterinary dermatology practice.
However, the modifications only affect the internal footprint of the proposed leased space,
and neither the square footage of the tenant space nor of the overall Property will be
affected. A conceptual floor plan of the internal build out of the tenant space is included
with this application package.
Ill. Parking
The Property currently has 51 on-site parking spaces, including 48 regular parking
spaces and three (3) disabled parking spaces. The total on-site parking can be seen in
the survey included with this application package and is not proposed to change as part
of the proposed veterinary occupancy.
The Property contains an existing structure dating back to 1947. In 2016, the City
issued the attached zoning verification letter for the Property acknowledging that the
building and the site have legal nonconforming status specifically as it relates to parking.
Accordingly, pursuant to Section 20-4.B{b) of the City of South Miami's Land Development
Code {the "LDC"), the "[u]se of such structures shall be consistent with the parking
standards applicable on the first date of such [pre-existing] use." In this case, the pre-
existing use was Pearl Art Supply, which would have been classified as a "Hobby, Toy or
Game Shop" and have a parking requirement of one {1) space per three hundred (300)
square feet of gross floor area. According to the 2016 zoning verification letter, so long
as the existing structure is not rebuilt to increase the extent of the nonconformity with any
dimensional requirement, future uses shall be allowed to occupy the tenant space if they
have a parking requirement equal to or less intense than one (1) space per three hundred
(300) square feet of gross floor area. According to Sections 20-3.3(0) and 20-4.4(8) of
the LDC, an Animal Hospital or Veterinarian use has a parking requirement of one (1)
space per four hundred (400) square feet of gross floor area. Because the use is less
intense than the pre-existing use, and does not increase the extent of the nonconformity
of the structure, it is compliant both with the Property's legal nonconforming status under
Section 20-4.B(b) of the LDC, and the City's interpretation of the Property in accordance
with its 2016 zoning verification letter.

IV. Compat ibility an d Compliance with Spec ia l Use Requi rements
Miami Veterinary Dermatology offers a compatible and complimentary use that will
operate harmoniously with the predominantly retail uses that currently operate at the
Property. The proposed use complies with the Special Use requirements of the LDC in
that the use will not adversely affect the health or safety of persons residing or working in
the vicinity of the proposed use and will not be detrimental to the public welfare, property,
or improvements in the neighborhood, and complies with all other applicable provisions
of the Code of Ordinances of City of South Miami. In fact, the City's special use restrictions
on veterinary practices, ensures that the use will have a de minimis effect on the Property
and persons visiting the Property.
Miami Veterinary Dermatology will comply with each of the special use conditions
provided in Section 20-3.4 of the LDC. The use will be entirely located within the fully
enclosed, air-conditioned, and soundproofed tenant space and there will be no overnight
boarding of animals, except for medical purposes. The hours of operation of the practice
will be limited to between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday, of course
excepting periodic emergency medical treatment, only as necessary. In fact, Miami
Veterinary Dermatology's typical hours of operation is expected to be from 8:00 a.m. to
5:00 p .m. Monday to Friday. Since this is a specialty, veterinary dermatology practice,
unlike emergency animal hospitals, emergency medical treatment is not typically
rendered in off-hours by Dr. Rosales.
Based on the foregoing, we respectfully request your favorable recommendation.
The requisite application fees, forms, and documentation are attached. Thank you for
your consideration of this application
Sincerely,

Coral Gables, FL 33134
Re: Zoning Verification Letter for: 6448 S. Dixie Highway
Folio #09-4036-000-0500
Dear Mr. Recio:
Regarding your inquiry, the City of South Miami zoning designation for the above referenced
property is General Retail {GR). The purpose of this district is to delineate areas which permit a
broad range of retail uses. This district is appropriate in areas designated "General Retail" on
the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan.
According to your request, the subject property currently contains an existing structure that
was constructed in 1947, and now has fifty (50) parking spaces. The previous tenant, Pearl Art
Supply, was allowed to occupy 27,561 square feet of the existing building until it closed and left
the space . Pursuant to the City's Permitted Use Schedule, Section 20-3.3(D) of the Land
Development Code ("LDC"), Pearl Art Supply would have been classified as a "Hobby, Toy or
Game Shop," which has a parking requirement of one (1) space per three hundred (300) square
feet of gross floor area. This parking requirement is consistent with Section 20-4.4(0)(11) of the
LDC. Based on the information provided, the building and site would be considered to have
nonconforming status. Pursuant to Section 20-4.B(B) of the LDC,
1. A structure which was erected in conformance with the applicable dimensional
requirements in effect at the time of erection but which at a subsequent date
fails to conform to applicable dimensional requirements due to a change in the
zoning map, in the dimensional requirements table or in the text of this Code,
may continue to be used for any use permitted in the district in which it is
located, subject to the requirements of this section.
2 . The following requirements shall apply to such structures:
a. Use of such structures shall be consistent with parking standards applicable
on the first date of such use; and

b. In the event of any remodeling or rebuilding, the remodeling or rebuilding
shall not increase the extent of nonconformity with any dimensional
requirement.
Based on the LDC regulations listed above, the owner may remodel the building. Furthermore,
uses that have a parking space requirement identical to Pearl Art Supply would be allowed to
occupy the tenant space and would not affect the legal-nonconforming status of the building.
However, the remodeling or rebuilding shall not increase the extent of nonconformity with any
dimensional requirement. Last, any future use that has a parking space requirement that is
more intense than that of Pearl Art Supply will be required to either obtain a parking space
variance from the City Commission for the deficient parking spaces or comply with Section 20-
4.4(A)(3) of the LDC, which states:
An annual fee of one thousand dollars ($1,000.00}, per space, which shall
increase five (5) percent annually, shall be paid into the Parking Fund for all on-
street parking spaces which are credited or counted toward required parking for
new structures, or a change in use that increases the minimum number of of/-
street spaces required after the date of January 2, 2008.
If you have any additional questions or need further clarification, please do not hesitate to
contact this office at (305) 668-2510.

We write to you on behalf of Miami Veterinary Dermatology, LLC, (the "Applicant"), the
prospective tenant of a portion of the property located at 6448 S Dixie Highway in South Miami
(the "Property"). The Applicant has requested a Special Use approval from the City of South Miami
(the "City"), in accordance with Section 20-5.8 of the City's Land Development Code ("LDC"), in
order to operate a specialty, veterinary dermatology practice.
Miami Veterinary Dermatology is owned and operated by Dr. Milagros "Millie" Rosales,
who practices at several veterinary specialty centers in the South Florida area. Dr. Rosales is a
board certified veterinary dermatologist, specializing in the care of animals with skin and ear
disorders. Veterinary dermatologists have the extra training to recognize unusual dermatological
conditions, that a general veterinarian may not be familiar with, and guide the pet owner to the
most direct diagnostic plan and treatment. Since this is a specialty, veterinary dermatology
practice, unlike emergency animal hospitals, emergency medical treatment is not typically
rendered by Dr. Rosales, and the business is not expected to operate outside of its typical hours
of 8:00 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday, which is well within the City's allowed operation window
for veterinary practices of between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. Monday to Saturday.
Should you have any questions or would like more information about the application,
please contact me at (305) 350-2398.
