Subject: Retail Use South Miami Hospital Property
SUPPLEMENTAL REPORT
At its meeting on April 7, 2009 the City Commission approved a special use request to allow a
restaurant on the ground floor of the new South Miami Hospital east parking garage at 6200 SW 72nd
Street. During the discussion information was requested as to whether or not there was additional retail
space planned for this same area of the garage. The following information is provided.
(1) At its December 3. 2002 meeting the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 188 -02 -11537
approving a major modification to the existing Planned Unit Development (Hospital) zoning district
which permitted the construction of a medical office building and an attached parking garage. The site
plan approved at that time indicated that the space for the new restaurant was on the south side of the
garage was designated as retail (2,000 sq. ft.). An additional 2000 sq. ft. of ground floor space
immediately east of the future restaurant, was also designated as future retail space. Attached is a copy
of the ground floor plan for the office /parking garage project as adopted in December 2002.
(2) At its January 21, 2003 the ERPB approved the architectural concept plan for the PUD -H changes
including the new office /parking garage building. A master signage plan and a landscape plan were
deferred until a future date. The site plan document approved on that date continued the designation of
all of the ground floor space on the south side of the garage as future retail space, as had been
approved by the City Commission one month earlier.
(3) Prior to the final approval of the project by the ERPB, the hospital reduced the proposed retail
space on the ground floor of the garage east of the future restaurant, and indicated that it would
become a mechanical area for electrical, boiler and chiller equipment. This is clearly shown on a
revised ground floor plan (dated 3- 17 -03) submitted to the ERPB as part of a request for final approval
of a master signage plan for the complex. The previously labeled retail space was now shown as a
mechanical area for electrical, boiler and chiller equipment. The ERPB at its April 15, 2003 meeting
approved the master signage plan. There is no mention in the file or in the minutes of the Board's
meeting that there had been an adjustment to the proposed uses on the ground floor. In addition, there
is no document in the file indicating that the Planning Director had made a finding that the approved
PUD -H plan was changed.
2
(4) There is no record in the Planning and Zoning Department's files of any request by the Hospital or
any action by the City to modify the ground floor uses in the garage building. A change to an approved
PUD -H final plan requires City approval. This adjustment can be a minor change which is done by
Administrative approval, or the adjustment could be a major change which requires approval after
public hearings by the Planning Board and City Commission.
(5) Planning Department staff has contacted South Miami Hospital representatives to determine if they
have any record of an approval of the modification of uses on the ground floor and also to provide an
explanation as to why the change was made.
