SUBJECT: APPLICATION FROM THE BATH CLUB, INC. , REQUESTING A ZONING
DISTRICT CHANGE FOR THE PROPERTY AT 5937 COLLINS AVENUE
FROM RM-3 (RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY HIGH INTENSITY) TO
RM-1 (RESIDENTIAL MULTI-FAMILY LOW INTENSITY) - SETTING
OF PUBLIC HEARING
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission set a first
reading public hearing to consider the application from the Bath
Club, Inc. to rezone the property at 5937 Collins Avenue from RM-3
to RM-1. Since a mailed notice is required 30 days prior to the
hearing, it is recommended that the first reading public hearing be
set for March 16, 1994 .
BACKGROUND
The applicant, the Bath Club, Inc. , is requesting to change the
Official Zoning District Map of the City of Miami Beach for the
property located at 5937 Collins Avenue from the RM-3 (Residential
Multi-Family High Intensity) classification to the RM-1
(Residential Multi-Family Low Intensity) classification.
ANALYSIS
The subject property is currently utilized as a private beach club
which was constructed in 1927 . The site contains approximately
230, 124 square feet or 5.28 acres. The Atlantic Ocean beachfront
abounds the property to the East and Collins Avenue right-of-way
abuts the West property line for approximately 308 linear feet.
The existing site consists primarily of low rise buildings less
than thirty (30) feet in height with an existing Floor Area Ratio,
FAR, of less than one, (1. 0) . The existing use of the property is
a legal non-conforming use which would not be affected by a change
in zoning classification.
If approved, the down zoning to the RM-1 classification would
effectively reduce the density of the site to one third of the
permissible existing density under the RM-3 zoning classification.
• The Planning Board, at its December 21, 1993 meeting, voted 7-0 to
recommend approval of the proposed downzoning.
CONCLUSION
The Administration has concluded that the request is in compliance -
with the review criteria and is in compliance with the City's 1 2
Comprehensive Plan; therefore, it is recommended that the City
Commission proceed to set a first reading public hearing on this
matter.
