Re: LDC Rezoning:
TODD(MU -4) to PUD -M:
Codina Development Corp.
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO A REQUEST TO AMEND THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP
OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE BY CHANGING THE
ZONING USE DISTRICT FROM "TODD(MU -4) ", TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT
DISTRICT (MIXED USE -4) TO "PUD -M" PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT MIXED USE
FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 6600 -6640 SW 57 AVENUE AND 5757 SW 68 STREET; THE
PURPOSE OF THE ZONE CHANGE IS TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A MIXED USE
PROJECT CONSISTING OF MULTI - FAMILY RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS, RETAIL USES
AND A PARKING GARAGE; SETTING FORTH CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL RELATED TO
THE DETERMINATION OF CONCURRENCY; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY;
PROVIDING FOR ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant, Codina Development Corp., is requesting a rezoning of a seven acre property as
legally described above in order to construct a mixed use project including residential buildings,
parking and retail uses with 409 dwelling units and 12,476 square feet of commercial space.
According to the information submitted with the application, the dwelling unit density will be
58.4 units per acre. The floor area ratio for the total proposed project is listed as 1.54. The
complex is to be called "Red Road Commons ".
The current zoning on the subject property is "TODD(MU -4)" Transit Oriented Development
District (Mixed -Use 4) Use District. The applicant is requesting a zone change for the property to
PUD -M, Planned Unit Development -Mixed Use. The current TODD(MU -4) Zoning District
LDC Rezoning
February 10, 2005

permits residential and commercial uses, permits two stories in height and does not limit
development with a maximum floor area ratio or units per acre formula.
The PUD submission is to be considered in two parts. The first is a zone map change ordinance
which creates the PUD -M on the City's official map. Issues such as density, compliance with the
Comprehensive Plan, traffic, parking requirements, height of buildings, and concurrency are
dealt with as part of the zone map change. The second part is the applicant's request for approval
by resolution of the specific PUD development plan. Specific issues related to building design,
landscaping, and other site plan features are dealt with in a companion item.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
Planned Unit Development (PUD) is a zoning district which can be applied for and created on
the City's official zoning map if a development is to be done as a unit under single ownership
and has one or more principal buildings. A PUD encourages design flexibility in location of
buildings, open space, and provision of amenities. Development in a PUD district does not
follow standard dimensional requirements (setbacks, heights of buildings), floor - area - ratio, or
dwelling units per acre. These standards are set forth in advance as part of the submitted master
site plan.
The following sections of the City's Land Development Code govern the general design,
development, and review of a PUD application:
Section 20 -3,7 (A) -(B) Planned Unit Development — provides design guidelines for all PUD's
regulating density, traffic, screening, off - street parking, service areas, building heights, and
pedestrian amenities.
Section 20 -3.7 (E) PUD -M, Planned Unit Development- Mixed Use- specific regulations
governing uses allowed, minimum development site size and location. PUD -M is one of three
PUD types.
Section 20 -5.12 Planned Unit Development approvals — sets forth regulations governing the
review procedures and submittal requirements for all PUD's.
Section 20 -4.1 Adequate public facilities and services ( Concurrency)- establishes level of
services (LOS) standards for water and sewage, solid waste, traffic, and recreation / open space.
These standards are reviewed at the development permit stage for major new construction
proj ects.
All of the above LDC sections are attached.
SITE ANALYIS

DEVELOPMENT ANALYSIS
1. Comprehensive Plan: The project site is within the TODD Future Land Use category
which encourages a mix of uses. The district was developed to take advantage of its
proximity to the Metro Rail. The category allows for flexible building heights up to a
maximum of eight (8) stories. The rezoning supports the following Comprehensive Plan
goals and policies:
HOUSING
Goal 1 To assure the availability of sound and affordable housing for all current
and future residents of the City of South Miami with special focus on infill
and redevelopment ........
Policy 1.3.6 The City and the County will jointly support development in the Rapid
Transit Zone in order to encourage mixed -use residential multi family
projects .............
LAND USE
Policy 2.1.4 Discourage urban commercial sprawl by promoting growth in the core
area surrounding the Metro Rail transit station by creating a district for
the new growth which is contained and transit - oriented, thereby relieving
the pressure for commercial re- zonings outside of this core area
Goal 3 To achieve a tax base adequate to support a high level of municipal
services via increased mixed -use and flexible building heights in
conjunction with a Transit - Oriented Development District [TODD].
2. Minimum Requirements: The LDC requires that an application for a PUD -M shall be
for a project which is on a site of at least 4 acres. The subject application is on a seven acre

2. Minimum Requirements: The LDC requires that an application for a PUD -M shall be
for a project which is on a site of at least 4 acres. The subject application is on a seven acre

site. In addition the development site must be within 1200 feet of the Metro Rail station. The
applicant states that the project site is 1092 feet from the Metro Rail station.
3. Uses Permitted: The PUD -M allows a limited number of uses which are listed in
Section 20 -3.7 (E) of the LDC. It includes retail establishments and multi- family residential
uses being proposed by the developer.
4. Density- Number of Dwelling Units: The proposed development, as submitted has 409
dwelling units or a density of 58.3 dwelling units per acre. PUD regulations specify that
the number of units permitted shall be governed by the Comprehensive Plan land use
category in effect for the site. The TODD land use category does not provide limitations
on number of units as long as the required parking is provided.
5. Density- Floor Area Ratio: The applicant's proposed floor area ratio is 1.54. PUD
regulations specify that intensity or FAR of a project is governed by the Comprehensive
Plan land use category in effect for the site. The TODD land use category does not provide
a specific FAR limitation.
6. Dwellinn Units - Minimum Floor Area: The applicant's proposal indicates a range of
dwelling unit types, including 175 one - bedroom units; 201 two- bedroom units; and 31 four
bedroom units. The size of the units range from 604 sq. ft. for a one bedroom; 887 and 946
sq. ft. for two bedroom units; 1785 sq. ft. for four bedroom units.
7. Dwelling Units- Minimum Average Size The applicant's proposal provides that the
average size for all of the dwelling units is 842 square feet. PUD regulations do not require
a minimum average size for dwelling units. As part of the redraft of the LDC, the City's
Zoning Task Force recommended that residential developments in this area ( TODD district)
must maintain a minimum average dwelling unit size of 800 square feet. It is felt that this
standard would assure a quality level of dwelling units in residential projects.
8. Building Height: The applicant is proposing to build a total of six residential buildings
The building heights vary. There are four and five story buildings in the south and center
part of the development and a four story building facing SW 57 Avenue on the east side. A
three story building will face single family homes on the north side with the interior portion
of that building being four stories. At the northeast corner is a four story building opposite
the existing multi - family complex. A five story parking garage covers most of site on the
west side abutting the FPL facility. Current PUD regulations do not specify specific height
limits. The Code states that project buildings must take into account surrounding heights of
buildings and the limitation on heights set forth in the assigned Comprehensive Plan's land
use category (up to eight stories).
9. Parking Requirements: The applicant is providing 1,028 total parking spaces, which
includes a parking garage, a small surface lot and on -site street parking. The total number of
required parking spaces for the proposed re- zoning (including residential and retail uses) is
948.

10. Affordable Housing: The City of South Miami has made a commitment to support and
encourage the creation of affordable (moderate priced) housing units. The Comprehensive
Plan specifically sets forth the following housing policies :
Policy 1.3.5
The City will support and assist the efforts of private organizations to construct at least
five affordable housing units per year.
Polices
The City and the County will jointly support development in the Rapid Transit Zone in
order to encourage mixed - use /residential multi family projects containing affordable
housing units.
The Red Road Commons project is an excellent opportunity for the City to encourage
affordable housing to be built. The developer should be required to commit at least 5% of
the units as affordable housing units.
11. Adequate Public Facilities - Concurrence: The applicant's project is above the
concurrency threshold limits, thereby requiring an assessment for meeting the level of
service (LOS) concurrency standards listed in Section 20 -4.1 of the Land Development
Code. For purposes of this report, presented below is a summary of the developers'
responsibilities related to concurrency:
a) Solid Waste
• LOS and capacity to be determined by Miami -Dade County based on capacity of the
transfer facility.
• Developer to provide copy of contract to the City
b) Water and Sewage
• LOS and capacity to be determined by Miami -Dade County
• Developer to provide evidence of approval of appropriate County and State agencies
c) Drainage
• Concurrency evidenced by compliance with Florida Building Code and approved by
DERM.
d) Trafc /Streets
• Applicant has submitted a Traffic Impact Study showing reduced PM peak trips after
PUD is constructed; and major intersection at LOS - B
• Additional traffic counts at certain intersections requested in order to determine
needed traffic signalization adjustments or lane improvements
• Note: the site is located within a City designated Infill and Redevelopment Area and
is exempt from meeting transportation concurrency standards (Comprehensive Plan,
p.65). However, the impact of the proposed development on traffic operations will be
LDC Rezoning
February 10, 2005
Page 6 of 8
covered in the review of the resolution adopting the submitted master site plan.
e) Schools
• Project impact to be determined by Public Schools.
• Dade County Public Schools has been notified of the project and staff invited to sit
with Planning Board at hearing.
• The Developer shall provide evidence of assessment or mitigation agreement with
Dade County Public Schools.
f� Recreation Facilities
• Project population estimate- 927
• LOS: City Comprehensive Plan: 4 acres per 1000 population.
• Capacity: The City is at capacity.
• Project will require the addition of recreation land — estimated 3.7 acres
• Developer must specify in a development agreement that within five years he will pay
for or produce 3.7 acres of land for public park or recreational purposes. (See attached
formula to determine concurrency costs)
STAFF OBSERVATIONS
1. The proposed rezoning is consistent with and supports the goals and policies of the City's
Comprehensive Plan (See No. 1, Development Analysis above).
2. A residential development at this location would take full advantage of being adjacent to the
transit station and within walking distance of shops, post office, hospitals, restaurants and
other amenities of the downtown area. The use would also provide a transition between lower
density residential to the north and commercial development to the south.
3. The property is located in the Community Redevelopment Area. The rezoning is consistent
with the goals and objectives of the CRA and the "Hometown Plan Area 2 Report", which
calls for mixed use development on this site (p.33).
4. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the recommendations of the Zoning Task Force for
this site. In 2002 the Task Force's subcommittee on TODD carried out considerable study on
the district. At that time it was recommended that this site be re -zoned to allow 4 stories plus
2 additional stories as a bonus. The recommendation also suggested a height limit of 3 stories
across from the residential areas on the north side of the property. The PUD -M re- zoning will
allow development as specified in the Master Site Plan as submitted. Buildings indicated at
four and five stories on this plan will be approved as part of the master site plan approval.
The proposed master site plan will also be approved with a limit of three stories across from
the residential areas to the north.
5. The traffic pattern from a residential development is generally more dispersed throughout
the day and night and has less impact on peak traffic. Traffic analysis of the current
commercial development as compared with the traffic that will be generated by the proposed
LDC Rezoning
February 10, 2005
Page 7 of 8
residential development, indicates that the proposed land use change may actually reduce
peak hour vehicle trips generated by this property. However, certain traffic operations and
management adjustments will be addressed in the review of the resolution approving the
master site plan.
PLANNING BOARD ACTION
The Planning Board at its September 27, 2004 meeting adopted a motion by a vote of 5 aye
and 1 nay ( Mr. Illas) recommending approval of the requested zone change with the
conditions set forth by staff below. The Board strongly suggested that the developer's
contribution related to recreation space should be worked out prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Commission approved the proposed rezoning with the following conditions on first
reading at its October 19, 2004 meeting:
(1) The applicant shall execute a Development Agreement which must include the conditions set
forth below and in the staff report pertaining to the requested zone map change and shall
incorporate all conditions which may be adopted as part of the approval of the project's PUD
Master Site Plan
(2) Applicant shall include in the Development Agreement: (a) an agreement that within five
years the developer will pay for or produce 3.7 acres of land for public park or recreational
purposes; (b) an agreement that 5% of the multi - family units constructed shall be classified and
marketed as affordable housing units.
(3) Applicant shall provide evidence of concurrency compliance by submitting to the City
the appropriate documents needed to prove concurrency with water, sewerage, schools, and solid
waste.
(4) The applicant shall provide to the City a Unity of Title document for the subject development
site; the unity of title shall be prepared and filed in accordance with Section 20 -5.16 of the
South Miami Land Development Code.
FINAL REVIEW PROCEDURE
The City Commission has agreed to place the Red Road Commons project on a special City
Commission meeting agenda scheduled for Wednesday February 23, 2005 (7:00 PM). At that
time the City Commission may take action on all three legislative elements.

Location : 6600 -6640 SW 57th Avenue and 5757 SW 68th Street
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO A REQUEST TO
Planning Board Meeting
September 27, 2004
AMEND THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP OF THE CITY OF SOUTH
MIAMI LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE BY CHANGING THE ZONING
USE DISTRICT FROM "TODD(MU -4) ", TRANSIT ORIENTED
DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (MIXED USE -4) TO "PUD -M" PLANNED
UNIT DEVELOPMENT MIXED USE FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT
6600 -6640 SW 57 AVENUE AND 5757 SW 68 STREET; THE PURPOSE OF
THE ZONE CHANGE IS TO ALLOW CONSTRUCTION OF A MIXED
USE PROJECT CONSISTING OF MULTI - FAMILY RESIDENTIAL
BUILDINGS, RETAIL USES AND A PARKING GARAGE; SETTING
FORTH CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL RELATED TO THE
DETERMINATION OF CONCURRENCY; PROVIDING FOR
SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; AND
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
ACTION: Mr. Mann read the item into record. Mr. O'Donniley presented the staff
report. Mr. O'Donniley stated that the applicant is requesting a rezoning of a seven
acre property as legally described above in order to construct a mixed use project
including residential buildings, parking and retail uses with 409 dwelling units and
12,476 square feet of commercial space. According to the information submitted
with the application, the dwelling unit density will be 58.4 units per acre. The floor
area ratio for the total proposed project is listed as 1.54. The complex is be called
"Red Road Commons ".
He explained the current zoning on the subject property is "TODD(MU -4)" Transit
Oriented Development District (Mixed -Use 4) Use District. The applicant is
requesting a zone change for the property to PUD -M, Planned Unit Development -
Mixed Use. The current TODD(MU -4) Zoning District permits residential and
commercial uses, permits two stories in height and does not limit development with
a maximum floor area ratio or units per acre formula.
Mr. O'Donniley informed the Board that the Planned Unit Development (PUD)
submission is to be considered in two parts. The first is a zone map change
ordinance, which creates the PUD -M on the City's official map. Issues such as
density, compliance with the Comprehensive Plan, traffic, parking requirements,
height of buildings, and concurrency are dealt with as part of the zone map change.
The second part is the applicant's request for approval by resolution of the PUD
master site plan. Specific issues related to building design, landscaping, and other
site plan features are dealt with in a companion item.
In addition, Mr. O'Donniley provided the following development analysis of the
proj ect:
1. The LDC requires that an application for a PUD -M shall be for a project which is
on a site of at least 4 acres. The subject application is on a seven acre site. In
addition the development site must be within 1200 feet of the Metro Rail station.
The applicant states that the project site is 1092 feet from the Metro Rail station.
Planning Board Meeting
September 27, 2004
2. The PUD -M allows a limited number of uses which are listed in Section 20 -3.7
(E) of the LDC. It includes retail establishments and multi- family residential uses
being proposed by the developer.
3. The Red Road Commons project is an excellent opportunity for the City to
encourage affordable housing to be built. The developer should be required to
commit at least 5% of the units as affordable housing units.
4. In order to meet concurrency for recreational facilities the developer must
specify in a development agreement that within five years he will pay for or
produce 3.7 acres of land for public park or recreational purposes. Mr.
O'Donniley then reviewed a formula that can be used to determine the
concurrency costs.
5. The proposed rezoning is consistent with and supports the goals and policies of
the City's Comprehensive Plan. ( See No. 1, Development Analysis above).
6. A residential development at this location would take full advantage of being
adjacent to the transit station and within walking distance of shops, post office,
hospitals, restaurants and other amenities of the downtown area. The use would
also provide a transition between lower density residential to the north and
commercial development to the south.
7. The property is located in the Community Redevelopment Area. The rezoning is
consistent with the goals and objectives of the CRA and the "Hometown Plan Area
2 Report", which calls for mixed use development on this site. (p.33)
8. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the recommendations of the Zoning
Task Force for this site. In 2002 the Task Force's subcommittee on TODD carried
out considerable study on the district.
9. The traffic pattern from a residential development is generally more dispersed
through out the day and night and has less impact on peak traffic. Traffic analysis
of the current commercial development as compared with the traffic that will be
generated by the proposed residential development, indicates that the proposed land
use change may actually reduce peak hour vehicle trips generated by this property.
However, certain traffic operations and management adjustments will be addressed
in the review of the resolution approving the master site plan.
The Chairman then called upon the applicant to make a presentation.

Mr. Jeremy Shapiro
Planning Board Meeting
September 27, 2004
Mr. Proctor began his presentation on the request for rezoning and plan approval of
a Planned Unit Development (Mixed -Use) Development for the address 6600-
6640 S.W. 57 Avenue (Red Road and 5757 S.W. 68 Street. He added that Codina
Development Corporation ( "Codina" ), the prospective developer requests a district
boundary change from TODD (MU -4) to Planned Unit Development Mixed -Use
(PUD -M), and concurrent site plan approval for development of the property.
Furthermore, he stated that the PUD -M Zoning District encourages complementary
combinations of uses, including multi - family residential and commercial uses,
within 1,200 feet from any Metro -rail Station. He also indicated that the proposed
site plan features considerable pedestrian access and a reduced intensity of
development along SW 66 Street, adjacent to the residential community to the
north. The proposed intensity of development is compatible with the surrounding
area, which included the large FPL transmission facility to the west, retail and
industrial zoning and development to the south and southwest, and the higher -
intensity apartment and Metro -rail facilities in the area.
Mr. Aris Garcia the architect for "Red Road Commons," explained to the Board in-
depth the project's PUD submittal. He presented the site plan and zoning analysis,
numerous comprehensive floor plans, elevations and survey.
Mr. Morton then opened the Public Hearing.
