DATE: November 4,1998
Second Reading Public Hearing - An Ordinance of the Mayor and City
Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, Amending the Official
Zoning District Map, Referenced in Section 142-72 of the Code of the City of
Miami Beach, Florida, by Changing the Zoning District Classifications for
Those Areas Identified in the Chart and Map Below; Amending the Affected
Portions of the City's Official Zoning District Map to Correspond with These
Changes as Adopted by the City Commission; Providing for Exclusion of
Certain Properties Subject to a Development of Regional Impact or
Development Agreement as More Particularly Provided Herein; Clarifying the
Impact of this Ordinance on That Certain Property Commonly Known as the
South Pointe Ocean Parcel; Providing for Repealer, Severability and an
Effective Date.
(See Appendix A for Maps and Chart)
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission, upon second reading public hearing,
adopt the proposed Ordinance as amended.
BACKGROUND
This amendment to the City Code proposes to rezone a number of areas on the City's Official
Zoning Map from their existing zoning district classifications to new zoning district classifications
(See Table A on the next page).
First reading public hearing on this amendment was opened on October 2, 1998 and continued to
October 7, 1998. The amending ordinance, attached hereto, reflects those changes which were
approved on first reading by the City Commission on October 7, 1998. The second reading public
hearing was opened and continued on October 21, 1998 to today (November 4, 1998).
AGENDA ITEM
~5G
DATE~
This proposed rezoning is part of a package of proposed changes to the City's Land Development
Regulations to be considered by the Commission today. Also included in this package of proposed
changes are ordinances which would reduce Floor Area Ratios (F ARs) and maximum allowable
building heights for a number of zoning district classifications throughout the City. The evolving
rationale for these proposed changes to the City's Zoning Ordinance has been necessitated by the
character and intensity of new development in the City which is not in keeping with the existing
built pattern.
In the recent past, there have been examples of buildings developed within the City which do not
fit in with the existing scale of their respective surrounding neighborhoods, or the historical
character of the City of Miami Beach. The goal of this package of zoning changes is to reduce the
possibility of redevelopment of property which is not in keeping with the established character of
the City and out of scale with the surrounding neighborhoods. The aim of the proposals is to
bring the Land Development Regulations into conformity with the existing as-built character of
the various areas of the City, including predominant uses ofland.
The proposals, as amended by the Commission upon first reading (see Table A below), have been
studied by the City's planning staff and have been found to be consistent with the built character
of existing neighborhoods. The benefits to the City from the implementation of these zoning
changes include the improvement of existing neighborhood property values, the appropriate and
compatible use of land vis-a-vis surrounding uses, the preservation of existing neighborhood
character, the reduction of traffic congestion, and increased access to light, air, open space and
view corridors. These benefits are especially important when viewed in the context of the City's
need to ensure provisions for adequate hurricane evacuation, and the City's desires and intention
to meet traffic concurrency. Importantly, also, these changes will bring a degree of predictability
with regard to new development which will give assurances to neighboring property owners and
residents that the character of their neighborhood will be preserved.

IMPORT ANT NOTE:
It should be noted that several of the proposed Zoning Map changes will require Comprehensive
Plan amendments in order to become effective. The proposed Zoning Map changes to areas 6, 7,
8, 9, 12, 13, 17,20,22,23,24,25,29,32,34,35 and 36 will require an amendment to the
Comprehensive Plan before they can proceed. Accordingly, the above described areas have been
excluded from this amended version of the ordinance. However, the recommendations by the
Commission which were made at first reading on October 7, 1998 regarding amendments to these
above-listed areas have served as direction to Staff to proceed immediately with the preparation of
appropriate Plan amendments. Upon completion of the required Comprehensive Plan amendments
for these specified areas, as directed by the Commission, the Comprehensive Plan amendment and
the changes to the Official Zoning Map shall be brought before the Commission for consideration
contemporaneously (after consideration by the Planning Board).
In summary, the proposals are designed to directly benefit the quality oflife for residents of the City
of Miami Beach, and ensure that the special characteristics which have made this City so popular
are preserved for future generations.
The modification of the City's Zoning Map is an issue that has been under study and consideration
for a number of years. From at least 1995, the City's planning staff, various City advisory bodies,
including the Miami Beach Planning Board and the Development Regulations Working Group, have
been examining the Zoning Map and developing recommendations for changes that would address
issues of land use compatibility, and the harmonization of the Zoning Map with existing as-built
conditions relative to densities and uses now present throughout the City.
This ongoing analysis of the Zoning Map has emerged into the set of recommended changes that are
before the Commission today. These proposed changes to the Zoning Map were the subject of
Planning Board workshops on March 6, March 16, and April 7, 1998. Many of the proposed map
changes originated with Planning staff; however, a great portion of the substance of these proposed
changes also come out of the discussions and deliberations of the Planning Board, as well as
significant input from the general public in attendance at the three workshop meetings. The Planning
Board held a public hearing on June 23, 1998, which was continued to July 28, 1998, at which time
the Planning Board voted to recommend a number of the proposed changes to the City Commission.
All property owners within the areas proposed to be rezoned, as well as property owners within 375
feet of these areas, have been mailed written notice regarding the proposed rezonings, in accordance
with the requirements of the City Code's Land Development Regulations.
ANALYSIS
Some of the proposed changes to the Zoning Map consist of changing the zoning district
classification of an area to more accurately reflect the character and uses of the subject area. As
such, these zoning map changes will bring the Zoning Map more into harmony with existing land
use conditions in the City.
The other proposed changes generally represent reductions in density of the allowable development
in the area. These zoning map changes will have the effect of reducing mass and increasing access
to light, air and views, reducing vehicular traffic, and improving the general quality of life for
residents of Miami Beach.

The following is a list of each area which is proposed to be rezoned. Refer to Maps 1, 2 and 3 for
the location of the subject areas. For each proposed Zoning Map change, the existing zoning district
classification, the originally proposed change, the Planning Board final recommendation, the original
Administration Recommendation and that which was approved by the Commission on first reading
are indicated.
1 Area generally South of Biscayne Street
Existing zoning district classification: C-PS3, Commercial Intensive Mixed Use
Originally proposed zoning district classification: R-PS4, Residential High Density
Planning Board Final Recommendation: R-PS4, Residential High Density
Administration Recommendation: R-PS4, Residential High Density
Commission First Reading: R-PS4, Residential High Density
Comments: This proposed change is appropriate as the subject area is envisioned as a
primarily residential area, rather than as a primarily commercial area. The majority of the
subject area represents the visual terminus of the extension of historic Ocean Drive. In the
corresponding height ordinance, the Administration is recommending that Oceanfront
properties in the R-PS4 district have a maximum height of 100 feet. If the Commission
maintains the 100 foot height limitation for Oceanfront properties in R-PS4, then this
rezoning to R-PS4 will create a desirable continuum along the east side of Ocean Drive of
that which presently exists. Regarding the remaining non-oceanfront portion of the site, it
is a transition area for the Hinson and Goodman properties between the park and the low rise
area to the north; as such, the resulting 80 feet height limitation is appropriate. It should be
noted that the R-PS4 zoning designation allows for accessory commercial uses.
(*Note: The proposed change of zoning district classification of Area 1 is proposed with the
provision (recommended by the City Attorney's Office) that the Ordinance is of limited
effect with respect to the South Pointe Ocean Parcel and the DRI Properties as more
particularly described and provided in that certain memorandum from Murray H. Dubbin,
City Attorney to Dean 1. Grandin, Jr., Planning and Zoning Director, dated July 20, 1998.)
2 Area bounded by Ocean Drive on the East, Fourth Street on the North, Collins Avenue
on the West, and First Street on the South
Existing zoning district classification: R-PS4, Residential High Density
Originally proposed zoning district classification: R-PS3, Residential Medium-High Density
Planning Board Final Recommendation: R-PS3, Residential Medium-High Density
Administration Recommendation: R-PS3, Residential Medium-High Density
Commission First Reading: R-PS3, Residential Medium-High Density
Comments: This represents an appropriate reduction in density and intensity for this
residential multi-family area. The proposed heights and densities of the R.PS3 zoning
district classification are consistent with the built character of the area. The R-PS3 district
would also allow ground floor accessory commercial use for hotels to continue (apartments
would not be allowed to have such uses). The proposed 50 foot height limitation for R-PS3
is consistent with those of the existing and proposed MXE area north of 5th Street.
3 Area bounded by Ocean Drive on the East, Fifth Street on the North, Collins Avenue
on the West, and Fourth Street on the South
Existing zoning district classification: C-PS2, Commercial General Mixed Use
Originally proposed zoning district classification: R-PS3, Residential Medium-High Density
Planning Board Final Recommendation:
R-PS3, Residential Medium-High Density
(except for lots 2 & 3 of Block 5 located on
the comer of Fifth Street/Ocean Drive)
Administration Recommendation: R-PS3, Residential Medium-High Density (except for
lots 2 & 3 of Block 5 located on the comer of Fifth
Street/Ocean Drive)
Commission First Reading: R-PS3, Residential Medium-High Density (except for lots
2 & 3 of Block 5 located on the corner of Fifth
Street/Ocean Drive)
Comments: This is a change from a primarily commercial designation to a primarily
residential multi-family district which also allows for hotels. The proposed change is
desirable as the area as it exists today consists primarily of multi-family residential buildings
and hotels. Since the proposed zoning district classification also allows for the development
of hotels, with accessory commercial uses in these structures, it is consistent with the
existing character of the street. Apartments would not be permitted to have such accessory
uses, unlike the MXE area to the north. The two lots to be exempted have frontage on Fifth
Street and Ocean Drive and are now primarily commercial in character.
4 Area bounded by West Avenue on the East, the North Line of Lot 2, Block 1 of the
Amended Plat ofthe Aquarium Site Resubdivision on the North, Biscayne Bay on the
West, and Fifth Street on the South
Existing zoning district classification: C-PS4, Commercial General Mixed Use
Originally proposed zoning district classification: C-PSI, Commercial Limited Mixed Use
Planning Board Final Recommendation: C-PS4, Commercial General Mixed Use
Administration Recommendation: C-PS4, Commercial General Mixed Use
Commission First Reading: C-PS4, Commercial General Mixed Use *No change from
existing zoning classification
Comments: The Administration recommends that the zoning district classification remain
C-PS4 rather than be changed to C-PS 1, as the FAR and height regulations contained in the
C-PS4 category are more realistic for this Bayfront site, which could sustain more density
and height. Additionally, the C-PS4 category would be more appropriate as an extension of
the rest of the bayfront West Avenue corridor, which is currently zoned RM-3.
5 Those properties fronting on the East side of West Avenue, from Thirteenth Street on
the North, to South Shore Hospital on the South
Existing zoning district classification: RM-3, Residential High Intensity
Originally proposed zoning district classification: RM-l Residential Low Intensity
Planning Board Final Recommendation: Rl\.1-2 Residential Medium Intensity
Administration Recommendation: RM-2 Residential Medium Intensity
Commission First Reading: RM-2 Residential Medium Intensity
Comments: This change would be a reduction in density on the east of West A venue south
of 13th Street for this multi-family residential area. This area serves as a transition area
between the CD-2 corridor along Alton Road, and the higher densities on the west side of
West Avenue along Biscayne Bay. The RM-2 category is more in keeping with the evolving
character of the east side of West Avenue and the many of the existing buildings.
10 Area bounded by West Avenue on the East, Fourteenth Street on the North, Biscayne
Bay on the East, and the South Property line of those properties located along the
South side of Monad Terrace on the South; plus Lot 7, Block 43 of ALTON BEACH
REALTY COMPANY'S BA YFRONT SUBDIVISION
Existing zoning district classification: RM-3, Residential High Intensity
Originally proposed zoning district classification: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Planning Board Final Recommendation: RM-3, Residential High Intensity
Administration Recommendation: RM-3, Residential High Intensity
Commission First Reading: North of 14th Street: RM-3 Residential High Intensity
South of 14th Street: RM-2 Residential Medium Intensity
Comments: The original proposal would be a reduction in density of this multi-family
residential area. The Planning Board recommended that the zoning district remain RM-3,
and the Administration originally concurred. However, the Commission, upon first reading,
approved keeping the area north of 14th Street RM-3, but changing the area south of 14th
Street to RM-2. The area south of 14th Street has a lower-scale character than that north of
14th Street, and the Administration now concurs with the Commission's first reading
decision on this recommendation.
11 Area bounded by West Avenue on the East, Fifteenth Street on the North, Bay Road
on the West, and Fourteenth Street on the South
Existing zoning district classification: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Existing Future Land Use Map classification: RM-l, Residential Low Intensity
Originally proposed zoning district classification: RS-4, Residential Single Family
Planning Board Final Recommendation: RM-l, Residential Low Intensity
Administration Recommendation: RM-l, Residential Low Intensity
Commission First Reading: RM-l, Residential Low Intensity
Comments: Currently the City's Future Land Use Map (FLUM) designates the subject area
as RM-l, while the Zoning Map shows the area as RM-2. The Administration recommends
that this area be rezoned to RM-l, to be consistent with the FLUM. Such a rezoning would
in reality result in no change in allowable development, as the more restrictive category
applies; rather, this type of change would be considered a cleanup amendment. While the
area does have numerous single-family homes, there are also low-density apartments,
consistent with the RM-l designation.
14 Area bounded by Collins Avenue on the East, Twenty-first Street on the North, Liberty
Avenue on the West, and Twentieth Street on the South
Existing zoning district classification: CD-3, Commercial High Intensity
Originally proposed zoning district classification: CD-2, Commercial Medium Intensity
Planning Board Final Recommendation: CD-3, Commercial High Intensity
Administration Recommendation: CD-3, Commercial High Intensity
Commission First Reading: CD-3, Commercial High Intensity *No change from
existing zoning classification
Comments: The original proposal would be a reduction in density of this commercial area.
However, the Planning Board recommended that the zoning district remain CD-3, and the
Administration concurs. The anticipated changes to heights and F ARs for the CD-3 district
adequately address the issues of density and intensity in this commercial area, thereby no
longer necessitating a change to the zoning designation.
15 Those properties fronting on the West side of Meridian Avenue, from Dade Boulevard
on the North, to Seventeenth Street on the South
Existing zoning district classification: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Originally proposed zoning district classification: RM-l Residential Low Intensity
Planning Board Final Recommendation: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Administration Recommendation: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Commission First Reading: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity *No change from
existing zoning classification
Comments: The original proposal would be a reduction in density and intensity of this
existing multi-family residential area. However, the Planning Board recommended that the
zoning district remain RM-2, and the Administration concurs. The anticipated changes to
heights and F ARs for the RM-2 district adequately address the issues of density and intensity
in this medium-intensity multi-family area, thereby no longer necessitating a change to the
zoning district.
16 Those properties fronting on Jefferson Avenue, Michigan Avenue and Lenox Avenue,
located south of Dade Boulevard and North of Seventeenth Street; excluding the
Southernmost three (3) lots fronting on each side of Jefferson Avenue, Michigan
Avenue and Lenox Avenue North of Seventeenth Street
Existing zoning district classification: RM -1, Residential Low Intensity
Existing Future Land Use Map classification: TH, Townhome District
Originally proposed zoning district classification: RS-4, Residential Single Family
Planning Board Final Recommendation: RS-4, Residential Single Family
Administration Recommendation: TH, Townhome District
Also, direct the Administration to further examine the
TH Townhome district regulations for possible
modification to allow garden apartments (two-story
flats), the conversion of single-family homes into
multi-family residences, and the creation of Bed and
Breakfast Inns.
Additionally, direct the Administration to examine
this area for its potential for designation as a Historic
District.
Commission First Reading: RS-4, Residential Single Family
Comments: Currently, while this area is shown on the Zoning Map as RM-l, the Future Land
Use Map designates the area as TH T ownhome district. This area has undergone several
zoning changes in the past, from single-family to Planned Unit Development (PUD), to RM-
1, and then on the Future Land Use Map (FLUM) to TH Townhome. While the area consists
largely of single-family residences, there are also several multi-family apartments and
townhomes present.
The Planning Board recommended that the area be rezoned to RS-4 Single Family
Residential, and that the area should be studied for designation as a Historic District. The
Administration had originally recommended that the area be zoned TH Townhome District
in order to match the future land use designation for the area. However, the Administration
does not object to the area being rezoned to single-family, as that is clearly the predominant
land use in the neighborhood. On first reading, the Commission decided to rezone the area
to RS-4 single family, and the Administration now concurs with this recommendation.
Additionally, the area is being studied by the Historic Preservation Board into its potential
for designation as a Historic District, which may be a solution addressing the unique
architectural character of the neighborhood and requiring a Certificate of Appropriateness
to demolish or alter any building. A recommendation from the Historic Preservation Board
regarding same is expected at the end of this year.
18 Lots 4 through 13, of AMENDED PLAT OF LOT 1 BLOCK 1 OF MID-GOLF SUBD. (30-

Existing zoning district classification: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Originally proposed zoning district classification: RM-l Residential Low Intensity
Planning Board Final Recommendation: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Administration Recommendation: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Commission First Reading: RM-2, Residential Multi-family Medium Intensity *No
change from existing zoning classification
Comments: The original proposal would be a reduction in density and intensity of this
residential area. However, the Planning Board recommended that the zoning district remain
RM-2, and the Administration concurs. The anticipated changes to heights and F ARs for the
RM-2 district adequately address the issues of density and intensity in this area.
19 Lots 1-3 and Lots 14-15, of AMENDED PLAT OF LOT 1 BLOCK 1 OF MID-GOLF

Existing zoning district classification: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Originally proposed zoning district classification: RS-3, Residential Single Family
Planning Board Final Recommendation: RM-l, Residential Low Intensity
Administration Recommendation: RM-l, Residential Low Intensity
Commission First Reading: RM-l, Residential Multi-family Low Intensity
Comments: The Administration has concluded that this area should be rezoned to the RM-l
multi-family residential low intensity zoning district classification, as the subject site
currently exists as small multi-family apartments, and the area directly to the south is also
proposed to be rezoned to RM-2. Additionally, if the site is ever developed together with
site 18 above, the required side setbacks on the north side of the property would provide for
a substantial buffer to the single-family area to the north.
21 Area bounded by Collins Avenue on the East, the Collins Canal and Lake Pancoast on
the North and Northwest, Park Avenue on the West, and Twenty-second Street on the
South; excluding Lots 6, 8, & 10, Block 1 of MIAMI BEACH IMPROVEMENT

Originally proposed zoning district classification: CD-2, Commercial Medium Intensity
Planning Board Final Recommendation: CD-3, Commercial High Intensity
Administration Recommendation: CD-3, Commercial High Intensity
Commission First Reading: CD-3, Commercial High Intensity *No change from
existing zoning classification
Comments: The original proposal would be a reduction in density of this commercial area.
However, the Planning Board recommended that the zoning district remain CD-3, and the
Administration concurs. The anticipated changes to heights and F ARs for the CD-3 district
adequately address the issues of density and intensity in this commercial area, no longer
necessitating the change in designation.
26 Lot E and Lots 52, 53 and 54, Block 1 NAUTILUS SUBDIVISION
Existing zoning district classification: RM-3, Residential High Intensity
Originally proposed zoning district classification: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Planning Board Final Recommendation: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Administration Recommendation: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Commission First Reading: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Comments: This is a reduction in density and intensity of this multi-family residential area,
and is consistent with the as-built pattern of the area, which has one development -- the
existing Howard Johnson Hotel. Any higher density would be inappropriate at this gateway
site into Miami Beach, which is adjacent to low density residential areas.
27 Lot 44, Block 1 NAUTILUS SUBDIVISION
Existing zoning district classification: TH, Townhome District
Originally proposed zoning district classification: RS-4, Residential Single Family
Planning Board Final Recommendation: RS-4, Residential Single Family
Administration Recommendation: RS-4, Residential Single Family
Commission First Reading: RS-4, Residential Single Family
Comments: This area is currently a single-family residential area. The RS-4 single-family
residential zoning district classification is more appropriate for the area than the current TH
Townhome zoning district classification, and reflects the as-built character of the
neighborhood. The existing landscaping to the west of this site creates a more than adequate
buffer from Alton Road and the Julia Tuttle Causeway interchange.
28 Area bounded by Municipal Parking lot on the East, Forty-seventh Court on the North
and West, and Forty-seventh Street on the South
Existing zoning district classification: CD-I, Commercial Low Intensity
Originally proposed zoning district classification: RM-l, Residential Low Intensity
Planning Board Final Recommendation: CD-I, Commercial Low Intensity
Administration Recommendation: CD-I, Commercial Low Intensity
Commission First Reading: CD-I, Commercial Low Intensity *No change from
existing zoning classification
Comments: This area currently exists as a small neighborhood retail area. While it is
completely surrounded by single-family and multi-family residential areas, it serves a
purpose as a neighborhood retail use and has potential to strengthen neighborhood character.
Rather than rezoning the property to RM-l multi-family low intensity residential, which
would render the property non-conforming, the Administration has concluded that the area
should remain CD-l low-intensity commercial. However, the Commission should direct
staff to meet with the owners of the properties in question, and formulate strategies for
improved maintenance and physical upgrading of the property to improve its appearance and
to encourage higher quality commercial uses to serve the area.
30 Area bounded by Collins Avenue on the East, Sixty-third Street on the North, Indian

Originally proposed zoning district classification: RM-l, Residential Low Intensity
Planning Board Final Recommendation:
West oflndian Creek Drive:
RM-3, Residential High Intensity;
Between Indian Creek Drive and Collins Ave:
RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Administration Recommendation: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Commission First Reading: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Comments: This is a reduction of densities of this multi-family residential area. A reduction
in densities for this area is desirable due to its proximity to the single-family area of Allison
Island. However, rezoning this area to RM-l would create a non-conforming use
(specifically, the Holiday Inn); therefore, staff recommends rezoning this area to RM-2. The
RM-2 zoning district classification would be appropriate as it would be an extension of the
as-built character of adjacent areas already zoned RM-2. Furthermore, the proposed 60 foot
height limit for the RM-2 district would ensure that any new development in this area will
not overwhelm its low-density neighbors to the west.
31 Allison Island, South of 63rd Street
Existing zoning district classification: HD, Hospital District
Originally proposed zoning district classification: TH, Townhome District
Planning Board Final Recommendation: HD, Hospital District
Administration Recommendation: HD, Hospital District
Commission First Reading: HD, Hospital District *No change from existing zoning
classification
Comments: As recommended by the Planning Board, the Administration also recommends
that this area not be rezoned at this time; it should remain zoned HD Hospital District. This
is the site of the old St. Francis Hospital, and currently is partially in use as the North
Campus of Miami Heart Institute. As much of the existing site is currently underutilized as
a hospital use, alternative plans regarding the future of the site are being considered. It is
anticipated that a future development proposal, perhaps involving a split of the lot as it
currently is configured, will be forthcoming. The Administration recommends that this area
be allowed to remain zoned HD for the time being, to allow the parties involved with the site
to develop a proposal for presentation at a future date.

Commission First Reading: West of Indian Creek Drive:

Remainder of Area:
RM-l, Residential Low Intensity
Comments: This original proposal is a reduction in density of this multi-family residential
area. The existing character of much of the subject area is low density and mostly two (2)
stories. The Planning Board recommended, and the Administration concurs, that the RM-2
zoning district is most appropriate for the area directly fronting the Indian Creek Waterway,
as it has traditionally contained higher densities, and RM-l is most appropriate for the
remainder of the area.

Originally proposed zoning district classification: RM-l, Residential Low Intensity
Planning Board Final Recommendation: RM-l, Residential Low Intensity
Administration Recommendation: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Commission First Reading: RM-l, Residential Low Intensity
Comments: The original proposal is a reduction in density and intensity ofthis multi-family
residential area. Recognizing the existence of several hotels in the area, especially along the
Harding Avenue corridor, and the proposed reduction of FAR and Heights for the RM-2
district, the Administration originally recommended that this area remain RM-2. However,
upon first reading, the Commission approved RM-l zoning for this area. Upon further study,
the Administration concurs with this recommendation, as the issue of hotels along the
Harding Avenue corridor can be addressed in the future with the use of an overlay district
which would allow for hotels in this RM-l area.

Administration Recommendation: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Commission First Reading: RM-2, Residential Medium Intensity
Comments: This is a reduction in density and intensity of this multi-family residential area.
This area is adjacent to the North Shore Open Space park. The maximum height associated
with the RM-2 district is more appropriate for this location vis-a-vis its relationship to the
park, the Altos Del Mar Historic District further to the south, and the low-density residential
area to its west.

In reviewing a request for an amendment to the Zoning Ordinance or a change in land use, the
Planning Board and City Commission are to consider 13 relevant review criteria, when applicable
for such changes. Since the amending ordinance changes the zoning district classifications of several
separate and discrete areas throughout the City, the review criteria have been incorporated into the
review comments for each separate area as applicable, rather than repeating the entire review criteria
for each of the individual areas.
Effect on property values and tax revenue
While the Administration recognizes that the proposed changes to zoning designations, as well as
to F ARs and heights, may have an effect on the assessed value for property tax purposes of certain
properties throughout the City, the possible reduction in total revenues should be limited based on
past experience. When the City reduced allowable densities in October 1994, property tax revenues
were not impacted significantly. Valuation of developed properties are assessed using many
different criteria. Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser's Office staff has indicated that the tax
revenue attributable to isolated vacant land may certainly decrease. However, they indicated that
the overall value of properties already developed may actually rise as a result of the proposed
changes. As the total allowable development within the City is decreased, unit prices and the
resultant property values for developed properties will rise. According to the Property Appraiser,
another expected economic benefit of the proposed changes is that properties will be more likely to
be rehabilitated, rather than demolished and redeveloped.
The proposed changes to the Land Development Regulations primarily seek to bring development
regulations into conformity with the existing as-built character of the various areas of the City. The
proposed changes should not be viewed as a drastic reduction of future development, but rather as
a positive step towards reducing maximum allowable development, and ensuring that new
development is compatible with its neighbors. The proposed changes have been studied by the
City's planning staff and have been found to be consistent with the built character of existing
neighborhoods. The Administration believes that these changes will eliminate the possibility for
redevelopment of property which is not in keeping with the established character of the City and out
of scale with the surrounding neighborhoods. If there is a modest reduction in tax revenues from
vacant properties within Miami Beach, this impact should be more than offset by the benefits
accruing to the City regarding improvement of existing neighborhood values, preservation of
neighborhood character, reduction of traffic congestion, increased access to light, air, open space
and view corridors, as well as an increase in value for properties already developed.
CONCLUSION
The Administration has concluded that many of the proposed changes to the Zoning Map will lead
to improvements in the scale and character of new development permitted in each of the identified
areas of Miami Beach. The proposed zoning map changes, as amended by the Commission upon
first reading, will also bring the Zoning Map more into harmony with the existing development
conditions in the City, increase access to light, air and views, and improve the general quality oflife
for residents of Miami Beach.
Therefore, the Administration recommends that the Commission, upon second reading, adopt the
proposed amending ordinance as proposed to be modified on first reading by the City Commission.
Regarding the proposed Zoning Map changes that will require a Comprehensive Plan amendment
and have been excluded from the ordinance, specifically areas 6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 17,20,22,23,24,
25,29,32,34, 35, 31 and 36, the Administration will proceed with the preparation of appropriate
Plan amendments as directed by the Commission. Upon completion of the required Comprehensive
Plan amendments for these specified areas, as directed by the Commission, the Comprehensive Plan
amendment (after consideration by the Planning Board) and the changes to the Official Zoning Map
shall be brought before the Commission for consideration contemporaneously.
