TITLE: 7605 COLLINS AVENUE - COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AND FLUM AMENDMENT
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH YEAR 2040
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, PURSUANT TO THE SMALL SCALE AMENDMENT
PROCESS OF SECTION 163.3187, FLORIDA STATUTES, BY AMENDING THE
"RESILIENT LAND USE & DEVELOPMENT ELEMENT," GOAL RLU 1, ENTITLED
"LAND USE," OBJECTIVE RLU 1.1, ENTITLED "ESTABLISHMENT OF FUTURE
LAND USE CATEGORIES," AT POLICY RLU 1.1.17, ENTITLED "PUBLIC
FACILITY: GOVERNMENTAL USES (PF)," BY MODIFYING AND EXPANDING
USES ALLOWED; AND AMENDING THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP BY
CHANGING THE FUTURE LAND USE DESIGNATION FOR A PARCEL OF LAND
LOCATED AT 7605 COLLINS AVENUE, WHICH IS COMPRISED OF LESS THAN
10 ACRES, FROM THE CURRENT DESIGNATION OF "SINGLE FAMILY
RESIDENTIAL (RS)," TO "PUBLIC FACILITY: GOVERNMENTAL USES (PF)"; AND
PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, TRANSMITTAL,
REPEALER, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission (City Commission) adopt
the ordinance.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On March 13, 2024, the City Commission adopted Resolution 2024-32945, which approved the
purchase of the single-family property located at 7605 Collins Avenue. The subject property at
7605 Collins Avenue, which is located at the northeast corner of Collins Avenue and 76t"1 Street
and is surrounded by public open space to the north and east (Altos del Mar Park), was acquired
by the City for the initial purpose of utilizing the existing home as a satellite office for the Building
Department in North Beach. Since that time, the City Commission has been exploring other
potential uses for the property.
On June 25, 2025, at the request of Commissioner Tanya K. Bhatt, the City Commission referred
ordinances amending the Comprehensive Plan, Future Land Use Map and Zoning Map, related
to the property at 7605 Collins Avenue, to the Planning Board (C4 G).
ANALYSIS
The subject property is currently designated as Single Family Residential (RS)on the Future Land
Use Map (FLUM) of the Comprehensive Plan (see attached map). Since the uses being
considered for the property would be inconsistent with the current FLUM designation of RS, the
attached ordinance proposes to change the FLUM designation for the property to Public Facility:
Governmental Uses (PF), which would allow for a broader array of public uses.
In addition to the FLUM amendment, the ordinance includes a text amendment to the Public
2325 of 3458
Facility: Governmental Uses (PF) future land use category in the Comprehensive Plan.
Specifically, policy RLU 1.1.17 is proposed to be amended to clarify allowable office uses, as well
as allow for personal service uses, arts and culture organizations and uses, environmental and
science related uses, and community centers.
A separate, companion ordinance is also proposed to amend the zoning atlas by changing the
zoning classification of the property from Single Family Residential (RS-4) to Government Use
;GU).
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT AND REVIEW PROCESS
The total land area involved in the FLUM amendment portion of this application is approximately
0.16 acres (7,000 SF), not including portions within a right-of-way. Under Section 163.3187
Florida Statutes, land use map amendments of less than 10 acres in size may be considered
"small-scale" amendments. Section 163.3187 also provides that text changes that relate directly
to, and are adopted simultaneously with, the small-scale future land use map amendment are
permitted as part of the small-scale amendment.
The small-scale amendment process requires an adoption hearing before the City Commission.
The amendment is effective 31-days after it is adopted if there are no challenges.
PLANNING BOARD REVIEW
On September 9, 2025, the Planning Board held a public hearing and transmitted the proposed
ordinance to the City Commission with a favorable recommendation (7-0).
UPDATE
The subject ordinance was approved at First Reading on September 17, 2025, with no changes.
