Setting of Public Hearing. Comprehensive Plan Amendment
DATE: December 19, 2001
SUBJECT:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, SETTING A PUBLIC HEARING TO
CONSIDER A PROPOSED AMENDMENT AMENDING PART II: GOALS,
OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH YEAR
2000 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN, AS AMENDED, BY CLARIFYING THE
STANDARDS APPLICABLE TO THE CATEGORY ENTITLED "MARINE
RECREATIONAL" (MR), AMENDING POLICY 1.2 OF OBJECTIVE 1:
LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS OF THE FUTURE LAND USE
ELEMENT
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission set the required first reading
public hearing for a time certain on January 9, 2002.
ANALYSIS
The Marine Recreation (MR) zoning district was officially added to Zoning Ordinance No.
1891 in 1971, although marine related zoning districts have been in existence much
longer. The 1989 Comprehensive Plan of the City of Miami Beach was not required to
have specific Future Land Use (FLU) categories explicitly defined; instead, the reader
was directed to the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) and the Land Development
Regulations (LDR) for the details about each zoning district.
In 1994, several amendments to the Comprehensive Plan were proposed, including a
change from MR, Marine Recreational to C-PS3, Commercial Intensive Mixed Use.
However, the City Commission, on second reading of the amending ordinance, did not
approve this change and the MR category was inadvertently not re-instated into Policy
1.2 of the Future Land Use Element. Staff believes this omission was due to a scrivener's
error as the MR district classification was not removed from the land development
regulations of the city code.

Setting Public Hearing -Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Page 2
ANALYSIS (continued)
This amendment proposes to clarify the standards applicable to the Marine Recreation
(MR) category and incorporate them in Policy 1.2 of the Future Land Use Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. The proposal is also consistent with Objective 3 of the
Conservation/Coastal Zone Management Element of the Comprehensive Plan, which
states "the amount of shoreline devoted to water-dependant and water-related uses shall
be maintained or increased.. .such proposed new development will not create a negative
environmental impact."
The subject amendment is a Text Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan of the City of
Miami Beach. As such, the Planning Board, as the land planning agency for the city, was
required to hold a public hearing and to make a recommendation. The Board heard this
matter at a publiC hearing on December 4, 2001, and without any dissent from the public
present, the Board voted unanimously 5-0 (two members absent) to recommend to the
City Commission approval of the proposed amendment.
The proposed amendment requires a newspaper notice of pUblic hearing at least seven
(7) days before City Commission hears this matter. To enable the City Commission to
hold a public hearing on the proposed amendment in a timely manner at its January 9,
2002 meeting, the Administration is requesting that the public hearings be set at this time.
