Re: Special Exception Approval
Large Scale Project in TODD
7150 -7160 SW 62 Ave.
RESOLUTION
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA,
RELATING TO A REQUEST PURSUANT TO SECTION 20- 8.9(B) OF THE LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE
FOR A SPECIAL EXCEPTION APPROVAL TO LOCATE A LARGE SCALE DEVELOPMENT USE (SIX
STORY MIXED USE MEDICAL OFFICE / RETAIL) BUILDING AT 7150 -7160 SW 62 °d AVENUE IN THE
"TODD (MU -5) ", TRANSIT ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT (MIXED USE 5): PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST
The applicant is requesting approval to construct a "large scale development" on property in a TODD
zoning district.: The site is a 1.31 acre property (57,252 sq.ft.) as legally described above. The proposed
development consists of a six story mixed use (medical office /retail) building with a parking garage in the
rear. The building will contain 80,000 square feet of medical office and 7,801 square feet of retail space. A
special exception section in the TODD regulations (Sec.20 -8.9) requires that any new development built in
the zoning district on a site that exceeds 40,000 square feet must be reviewed by the Planning Board and
City Commission using the special use approval process.
APPLICABLE REGULATIONS
• LDC Section 20 -8.9 Special Exceptions
• LDC Section 20 -8.10 Bonus Allocations
BONUS ALLOCATIONS
The height of buildings in the TODD(MU -5) zoning district is 4 story maximum plus up to four additional
floors if certain design elements are incorporated. The proposed development has added two additional
floors based upon the provision of the following:
• a public plaza (5,000 sq.ft.) which will have art work.;
• an arcade along the full frontage of the building; which is part of the pedestrian walkway system
CONCURRENCY ANALYSIS
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
LDC Special Exception
7150 -60 SW 62 Ave.
Page 2 of 4
Code. For purposes of this report, presented below is a summary of the developer's 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
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
b) Drainage
• Concurrency evidenced by compliance with Florida Building Code and approved by DERM.
c) Transportation
• The site is located east of the Palmetto Expressway and is therefore within the County
transportation management area which is exempt from meeting transportation concurrency
standards. (Comprehensive Plan, p.65)
d) Schools - Not applicable
e) Recreation Facilities- Not applicable
DEVELOPMENT PLAN ANALYSIS
Traffic: The development plan shows vehicles exiting and entering the parking garage from separate
drives along from SW 62 Ave. Staff is concerned about the location of the entrance to the garage being too
close to the intersection of SW 62 Ave and Sunset Drive. Based upon these concerns the Planning
Department retained a traffic engineer/ to produce a traffic management plan which examines garage
access, level of service, signalization and turn regulations which may be required. In accordance with the
LDC the costs of the study will be charged to the developer.
Density- Floor Area Ratio: The applicant's proposed floor area ratio is 1.5, which is considerably lower
than other development projects in the area and below the maximum 1.6 FAR in the Hometown zoning
district and other office zones. The TODD(MU -5) zoning district does not limit the FAR.
Uses Permitted: Retail uses and medical offices are permitted in the TODD(MU -5) zoning district.
Parking Requirements: The applicant is providing 471 total parking spaces, in a parking garage
behind the main structure which is a requirement in the TODD zoning district. The total number of
required parking spaces for the proposed building is 432.
Setbacks: The proposed development is being built to the front property line, which is allowed. The
proposed building provides a 20 foot front setback at the 5th and 6th floors as required by TODD
regulations. The rear setback of the garage faces an alley and a three story multi - family building. This area
requires some form of landscape screening.
Urban Design: Prior to obtaining a building permit the developer must submit to the City a plan for the art
work which will be exhibited in the plaza. If the public plaza is located abutting a vehicle access drive, a
barrier of concrete bollards and landscaping must be installed as a protective screen.
LDC Special Exception
7150 -60 SW 62 Ave.

PLANNING BOARD ACTION
The Planning Board at its January 25, 2005 meeting adopted a motion by a vote of 5 ayes 1 nay (Mr.
Mann) recommending approval of the special exception request with conditions suggested by staff and
with the following three conditions:
(1) Allow access to be maintained for the north building's waste pick -up;
(2) Adequate landscaping be provided along the west edge and plaza area;
(3) The parking garage is to be adjusted in order to provide more space for landscaping.
SUMMARY OF TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT REPORT
Attached is a Traffic Impact Study (2- 23 -05) prepared by Richard Garcia & Associates, Inc. The study
provides an analysis of trip generation created by the proposed development and an examination of road
capacity (level of service) in the area. The report measures the existing situation and proposed. The
consultant concludes that the proposed project will not contribute any significant traffic impact, as
sufficient roadway capacity exists (p.15).
The consultant also found no major problem with the design or location of the proposed exit and entrance
Driveways (p.10). Staff, however recommends that for safety purposes the exit driveway be limited to right
turn only.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the application requesting special exception approval to construct a large scale
development use in a TODD district be approved subject to the following staff and Planning Board
conditions:
(1) The exit driveway should be limited to right turn only.
(2) The rear setback area of the garage shall be screened from the abutting residential building by placement
of trees and landscaping. A landscape plan for this area must be submitted to and approved by the Planning
Department, prior to the issuance of a building permit.
(3) The developer must submit to the City a plan for the art work which will be exhibited in the plaza. This
plan must be submitted to and approved by the Planning Department prior to the issuance of a building
permit.
(4) If the public plaza is located abutting a vehicle access drive, a barrier of concrete bollards and
landscaping must be installed as a protective screen.
(5) Allow access to be maintained for the north building's waste pick -up.
(6) Adequate landscaping be provided along the west edge and plaza area.
(7) The parking garage is to be adjusted in order to provide more space for landscaping.

The Richard- Brandon Company, Applicant
7150 -7160 SW 62nd Ave., South Miami, FL
LETTER OF INTENT
Gentlemen:
We herewith respectfully submit our application for special exception under the special
use permit process for the approval of the planned development of a mixed -use building
and separate parking garage structure as required by Section 20- 8.9(B) of the South
Miami Land Development Code. The- proposed development is to be located at 7150 -
7160 SW 62nd Avenue in the City of South Miami.
The property is governed by the Transit- Oriented Development District (T.O.D.D.)
zoning ordinance - specifically,_ TODD (MU -5). The site area is 49,945 square feet
being in excess of 40,000 square feet, this application for requires review under the
special use permit process.
The proposed development complies with all of the applicable zoning requirements
including building setbacks, height and parking. The proposed development applies
bonuses available under Section 20 -8.10 of the Land Development Code. The design
includes a 5,000 square foot public plaza and street -front design with arcade as part of the
pedestrian walkway system. These two bonus allocations allow two floors to be added to
the basic four floors permitted by the applicable zoning, resulting in a planned six story
building.
We are certain that the proposed project will not adversely affect the health or safety of
persons residing or working in the vicinity of the proposed use; nor will the project be
detrimental to the public welfare or property or improvements in the neighborhood. The
proposed project is perfectly consistent with the neighborhood. Furthermore, the public
plaza and arcade will greatly add to the civility of the neighborhood and community.
Accordingly, we respectfully request approval of this application.

Planning Board Meeting
January 25, 2005
Action: Mr. Illas read the item into record. Mr. O'Donniley explained that the `
applicant is requesting approval to construct a large scale development" on
property in a TODD zoning district. The site is 1.31 acre property (57, 252 sq. ft) as
legally described above. The proposed development consists of a six -story mixed
use (medical office retail) building with a parking garage in the rear. The building
will contain 80,000 square feet of medical office and 7,801 square feet of retail
space. The special exception section in the TODD regulations (Sec. 20 -8.9)
requires that any new development built in the zoning district on a site that exceeds
40,000 square feet must be reviewed by the Planning Board and City Commission
using the special use approval process.
Additionally, Mr. O'Donniley noted the bonus allocations. He stated the height of
buildings in the TODD(MU -5) zoning district is 4 story maximum plus up to four
additional floors if certain design elements are incorporated.
provision proof the
development has added two additional floors based upon
following:
• a public plaza (5000 sq.ft.) which will have art work.,
• an arcade along the full frontage of the building; which is part of the pedestrian
walkway system
Mr. O'Donniley reported that the applicant's project is above the concurrency
threshold limits thereby requiring an assessment for meeting the level of services
(LOS) concurrency standards listed in Section 20 -4.1 of the Land Development
Code. Furthermore, Mr. O'Donniley provided the following summary of the
developer's 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) Tran sportation
The site is located east of the Palmetto Expressway and is therefore within the
County transportation management area which is exempt from meeting
transportation concurrency standards. (Comprehensive Plan, p.65)
e) Schools - Not applicable
fl Recreation Facilities- Not applicable
Planning Board Meeting
January 25, 2005
Mr. O'Donniley also added the following Development Plan Analysis:
Traffic: The development plan shows vehicles exiting and entering the parking
garage from separate drives along from SW 62 Ave. Staff is concerned about the
location of the entrance to the garage being too close to the intersection of SW 62
Ave and Sunset Drive. The location of both access drives into the garage must be
coordinated with the existing traffic pattern on SW 62 Ave. Based upon these
concerns the Planning Department will retain a traffic engineer /planner to produce
a traffic management plan which examines garage access. Possible adjustments to
traffic lanes, signalization and turn regulations which may be required. In
accordance with the LDC the costs of the study will be charged to the developer.
Density- Floor Area Ratio: -The applicant's proposed floor area ratio is 1.5, which
is considerably lower than other development projects in the area and below the
maximum 1.6 FAR in the Hometown zoning district and other office zones. The
TODD(MU -5) zoning district does not limit the FAR.
Uses Permitted: Retail uses and medical offices are permitted in the TODD(MU-
5) zoning district.
Parking Requirements:_ The applicant is providing 471 total parking spaces, in a
parking garage behind the main structure which is a requirement in the TODD
zoning district. The total number of required parking spaces for the proposed
building is 432.
Setbacks: The proposed development is being built to the front property line,
which is allowed. The proposed building provides a 20 foot front setback at the 5th
and 6th floors as required by TODD regulations _The rear setback of the garage
faces an alley and a three story multi - family building. This area requires some form
of landscape screening.
Urban Design: Prior to obtaining a building permit the developer must submit to
the City a plan for the art work which will be exhibited in the plaza. If the public
plaza is located abutting a vehicle access drive, a barrier of concrete bollards and
landscaping must be installed as a protective screen.
RECOMMENDATION
Mr. O'Donniley concluded his report by stating that planning staff recommends
that the application requesting special exception approval to construct a large scale
development use in a TODD district be approved subject to the following
conditions:
(1) The application will not be forwarded to the City Commission until a traffic
management plan is completed and necessary adjustments and commitments are
agreed to in writing by the developer.
Planning Board Meeting
January 25, 2005
(2) The rear setback area of the garage shall be screened from the abutting
residential building by placement of trees and landscaping. A landscape plan for
this area must be submitted to and approved by the Planning Department, prior to
the issuance of a building permit.
(3) The developer must submit to the City a plan for the art work which will be
exhibited in the plaza. This plan must be submitted to and approved by the
Planning Department prior to the issuance of a building permit.
(4) If the public plaza is located abutting a vehicle access drive, a barrier of
concrete bollards and landscaping must be installed as a protective screen.
The Board, applicant's representative, and planning staff discussed the item. Mr.
Illas inquired about the type of trees that will surround the building. Mr. Recio
replied that the developers have not made a final decision on the trees that will be
used around the project but the trees presented on the rendering is a possible option
of the trees that will be used. Chairman, Morton addressed the entrance and exit
routes of the building. Mr. Mann commented on the issue of arcades stated he did
not agree with the City's bonus allocations with regards to arcades, he felt that in
some cases arcades with pillars. are not pedestrian friendly for residents.
Applicants present: Tony Recio; Esq; (Mr. L' -Richard Mattaway' s representative)
Brandon Lurie
Jason Chandler
Mr. Recio explained to the Board, that they are requesting approval for a special
exception under the special use permit process for approval of the planned
development of a mixed -use building and separate parking garage structure as
required by Section 20- 8.9(B) of the South Miami Land Development Code (LDC).
The property is governed by the Transit- Oriented Development District (TODD -5).
In addition he noted that the proposed development is eligible for bonuses available
under Section 20 -8.10 of the LDC . The design includes a 5,000 square foot public
plaza and street front design with arcade as part of the pedestrian walkway system.
These two bonus allocations allow two floors to be added to the basic flour floors
permitted by the applicable zoning, resulting in a planned six story building. He
concluded by stating that the public plaza and arcade will greatly add to the civility
of the neighborhood and community.
Mr. Morton opened the Public Hearing.
